Steely Dan

In September 2019, Steely Dan performed 'Hey Nineteen' during their Sweet Tour at the Pechanga Theater in Temecula, California. At this time, the band had recently released the album 'Ellington Was Here' in 2013, and while it was more of a tribute to the legendary jazz composer Duke Ellington, it showcased their continued exploration of intricate melodies and harmonies. This period marked a fascinating phase in Steely Dan's career, blending their signature jazzy sound with fresh artistry. Interesting to note, founding member Walter Becker had passed away in 2017, which infused the performance with a poignant layer of nostalgia and tribute to his legacy. The Sweet Tour was a chance for the band to honor their extensive catalog and connect with fans, giving old and new listeners alike the chance to revel in their timeless classics.
