Saw Steely Dan

Saw Steely Dan live last evening at the Lehigh Valley MusikFest 2011 in Bethlehem, PA. I had seen them Nov 2009 in Phila and I have to say both performances were OUTSTANDING. Stupendous. Wow. Among the cuts they performed, they did all but one song off the AJA album (Deacon Blues)plus Time out of Mind, Hey Nineteen, My Old School, FM, Dirty Work, Reelin' in the Years, etc. Man, what a night. Warm summer evening under almost a full moon and clear skies. Huge band and 3 beautiful back up singers (Carolyn Leonhart is beyond gorgeous). If you get a chance to see them and you're a fan, don't miss them. They're on tour this year with an extensive travel schedule.

Has Steely Dan been using the Instant Live recording system at their shows? It would be fantastic to have a recording of their tour live.

"Your wife was TEXTING during a Steely Dan concert? That's just wrong!!!" Make your choice, live with your choice!
Of course, I will leave that choice behind if I go see SD
in NYC later this year.

I see they're scheduled to play at the Minnesota State Fair, which BTW is always awesome. Might check them out.

I just realized an error in my post. One of the times I saw them was not in '00. I had already moved to San Antonio by then,'95 in fact.

So it had to be before the '94 tour, '91,'92 or '93. However I can't find anything supporting this on their site.

Best,

Dave
