Steely Dan

In the July 22, 2018 recording of "Peg" at Daryl's House, we see a vibrant tribute to Steely Dan’s intricate sound, tucked snugly between their more recent collective efforts and cherished classics. Steely Dan's last studio album before this live performance was 'Two Against Nature' released in 2000, which marked their return to the music scene after a lengthy hiatus. What's particularly fascinating here is that Rick Marotta, the special guest drummer for this performance, originally played on the studio recording of 'Peg' when it was released as part of the iconic 1977 album 'Aja.' This connection adds a layer of nostalgia and authenticity to the live rendition, bringing together the past and the present. It's a delightful reminder of how Steely Dan’s influence continues to echo, proving that their innovative spirit and jazz-infused rock are truly timeless.
