Steely Dan

In November 2012, during the performance of "Peg" by The Dukes of September at Lincoln Center, Steely Dan's Donald Fagen was celebrating a successful solo career after years of collaboration with Walter Becker. Prior to this live recording, Steely Dan's last studio album was "Everything Must Go," released in 2003, which was a continuation of their signature jazz-rock sound. Interestingly, Fagen’s involvement with The Dukes of September, alongside icons Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs, highlighted a period where the artist embraced a collaborative spirit, showcasing their mutual appreciation for R&B and rock influences. This supergroup setup not only celebrated their individual careers but also brought classic Steely Dan hits like "Peg" into a new live context, illustrating the enduring legacy and appeal of Fagen's songwriting and performance style.
