Steely Dan 7/29/11 MGM Grand Theater

What do you do if your band had a string of hits in the 70s, never toured, took your name from a William Burroughs-penned sex toy.......tour americas casinos with a top notch band of young jazzbos. Steely Dan does this because they can. After years of non touring in their heyday, the lords of the hipper-than-thow Becker and Fagan hit Ledyard. My Old School, all of the Aja album, Dirty Work, Kid Charlemagne, Bodishattva, Black Friday were highlights. Becker's great spoken word intro to Hey Nineteen was hilarious. Band intros to Papa Don't Take No Mess was a nice touch. I don't frequent this venue but this show was a keeper, thanks to LB.
