Steely Dan

In 2019, when Steely Dan delivered a stunning performance of "Josie" at the Pechanga Theater, they were riding high off their 2012 album, "Can't Buy a Thrill: The 40th Anniversary Edition". This reissue reignited interest in their classic hits and showcased their unique blend of rock, jazz, and sophisticated lyrics. Known for their intricate studio work and impressive live arrangements, the band retained their distinct sound and high energy over the years. Interestingly, 2019 marked a healthy period for them, continuing their tradition of meticulous musicianship, as they’d remained on the road performing, adapting their sound while still preserving the signature Steely Dan vibe that fans have adored for decades. It’s worth noting that performing "Josie," a fan favorite from the album "Aja," highlighted their prowess at creating timeless music that resonates with both old and new audiences.
