Steely Dan

On May 5, 2000, Steely Dan performed live on the NBC "Today Show," marking a period of revitalization for the band. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their album "Two Against Nature," which was released in 2000, and it became significant as it won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. By this time, the band members, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, had re-established their presence in the music scene after a lengthy hiatus since their last studio project in 1980. Their live rendition of hits such as "Peg" and "Kid Charlemagne" showcased their ability to blend jazz, rock, and pop, a hallmark of their signature sound. This performance not only highlighted their enduring appeal but also marked a successful comeback that was well-received by both fans and critics alike, affirming Steely Dan's lasting influence in the music industry.
