The jazz rock band's back on tour!
Why see Steely Dan?
Steely Dan are a jazz rock band who were especially popular during the 1970s. Although the line-up has changed, the band continue to tour after a ten-year hiatus in the 1980s. Their first album, Can't Buy a Thrill, contained two of their best loved songs - "Do It Again" and "Reelin' In the Years".
With diverse lyrics that some believe focus on the socially unacceptable subjects, their music expresses a moral point and focuses on traditional values within the modern world. Their music being the heart of the 70s scene, they define a particular era of music and have been involved in huge moment within modern pop history from the 80s until now.
Steely Dan and world of musical discovery awaits you!

The Dan at Boston's Orpheum--Does it get any better?
Over the last 25 (!) years, my two daughters and the family have seen Steely Dan perform about 6 or 7 times. Older daughter Stephanie bought 8 tickets in the first balcony of the 150+ year old Orpheum Theater for Friday's opening night performance ("Aja and greatest hits"). I should contextualize last night's experience to say that my daughter had seen the Dan last week in New York (where David Crosby sat in for a surprise rendition of "Wooden Ships") and that our first family concert was to see them at the so-called Tweeter Center, when the kids were maybe two and six. We had a great dinner at Pho Pasteur, right around the corner, and then walked up to the Orpheum, which is an intimate setting for a concert. The band was tight, Donald's voice was stronger than ever. Watching the drummer perform is actually mesmerizing! The set list was "something for everybody." The crowd was generally above 50, and obviously digging it, but not more than my 25 and 29 year old daughters! ... Read more

Steel Dan's 1st Orpheum Show Pushed all the Buttons
On November 17th Steely Dan preformed a selection of random stuff along with a flawless execution of the Aja Album. The band was as expected, musically tight, and locked in on an expanded rifts and highlights which all previous viewers have encountered over the years. The musicianship and presentation were top notch as the presented list of greatest hits. Donald Fagen’s performance and vocal were spot on along with great solo’s from: Keith Carlock on drums; Jon Herington & Connor Kennedy, guitar; Walt Weiskopf and Roger Rosenberg, saxes; Michael Leonhart, trumpet; Jim Pugh, trombone; and vocalists Carolyn Leonhart, Catherine Russell, LaTanya Hall and Cindy Mizelle. We enjoyed this show tremendously. Great catalog along with great performance. ... Read more

Better then Ever
It was my 8th or 9th show and it was as good as any. Keith Carlock stole the show. And that is really saying something with all the great players on that stage. The crescendos at the end of Bodhisatva were worth the price of admission alone. They stellar, peerless sound was no more evident then in the drum set it self. You could hear each piece evenly. You could hear the high regestries in the crash cymbols. They introduced Carlock last.
Very strong set list though I'm not a fan of Godwhacker. Great dark cool funky re-working of Your Gold Teeth II and Show Biz kids.
The only negatives were Aja - it still doesn't have the xylophones part - and the great background vocals. They weren't loud enough.
But other then that what a joy. I keep on threatening to buy the 250$ seats some year. Next tour I may do it. The playing, songs, and sound somehow, are getting better. ... Read more
