@shyman99 Mmm, yes, because anything different is, by definition, bad. Of course.

Really, live performance is the only opportunity artists have to revisit old material, change it up, explore new avenues, whatever. And considering their continuing talent and genius I think Fagen and Becker have a right to have fun with their own materiel

And, as always, if you don't like the song, leaving it all behind is just a click away. (And if variation ain't your thang, concerts probably won't be either)

Even though this isn't one of their best performances, Steely Dan is still amazing band! They're up there on my list of favorite bands. I just saw on iTunes that Fagen is coming out with a new album, Sunken Condos. I'm excited to hear what Fagen has in store for his fans!

[John Irwin]

Once in pub quiz I gave an answer that it was Ricky Ross from Deacon Blue. 5 years later they will not stop taking the piss out of me

[lukemanify]

Can some wiseass send me the lineup. I've got stuck with the old-time players, Skunk, Denny etc and the golden studio age one-time hired hands. I'm old. Sigh...

[acommondisaster]

Love love love this version. Someone else here said it and I agree: tasty.

[brian phillips]
