  Steely Dan delivers pristine pop
While the exodus of latecomers trying to find their seats was distracting to some fans, it didn’t detract from Steely Dan’s performance at the Dodge Theatre Wednesday night.
Many of Steely Dan’s hits were conspicuously absent — no “Reelin’ in the Years,” no “Deacon Blues,” no “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number.” But Becker and Fagen made up for those absences with several deep album cuts including “Home at Last” and “Don’t Take Me Alive,” which closed the first and second sets respectively.
Steely Dan spent the ‘70s making impeccable albums while not touring and the ‘90s playing impeccable shows while not recording.

Steely Dan is the most improbable hit-singles band to emerge in ages.
Steely Dan's five musicians seem to play single-mindedly, like freelancers, but each is actually contributing to a wonderfully fluid ensemble sound that has no obvious antecedent in pop.
While Steely Dan for the most part succeeds in its efforts to force its character into the strict limitations of the short pop song, the music would benefit from more elaboration.

Becker and Fagen return to the studio to work on their next album, the first in which Steely Dan is officially billed as a duo.
The 1993 tour was such a resounding success, and such fun for everyone in the Steely Dan camp, that Donald and Walter made plans to tour again in 1994, while they were putting the finishing touches on Walter's solo album.
The 1996 tour was eagerly anticipated by Dan fans since they were expecting to hear some of the new studio material Donald and Walter were working on, and they were not disappointed; "Jack of Speed", "Cash Only Island" and "Wet Side Story" were played at various venues during the tour, and were very warmly received.

 Steely Dan
Steely's web site, www.steelydan.com, proclaims with some pride that because of a faulty tape machine used on the recording of Katy Lied (1975), the band refused to listen to the final album.
At every stage the Dan duo were among the first to embrace the latest studio technology, and the musicianship and sonic quality of their albums has always been at the very limit of what is possible.
Apparently the Dan fire was relit at a low-key and impromptu joint live performance at the end of 1991, and was further tended by Becker's participation in a tour of the New York Rock and Soul Review.

Steely Dan had it all: rich musical arrangements with memorable hooks, pugilistic prose-turned-poetry, stunning studio craftsmanship, great guitar solos, and just enough jazz references to make the whole thing seem like a sly in-joke.
As popular as they were in the '70s, Steely Dan somehow felt like the commercial underdog, their eyes on a prize beyond mere radio acceptance and record sales.

Defiantly charting their own musical course, Steely Dan's music is marked by clever, sardonic lyrics that offer sometimes-dark stories and portraits of life "in the city."
Once ABC agreed to a Steely Dan album, Dan session players Elliot Randall and Jerome Richardson were brought in, and vocalist David Palmer was signed as lead singer since Donald Fagen was uncomfortable in the role.
Through the years, and many personnel changes, Fagen and Becker continued to develop as songwriters and performers, all the while steering Steely Dan away from the "three-minute song" to extended pieces, with tunes and rhythms that had a soul-funk pulse, jazz texture, and a deeper-than-pop feel.

 Doug Westberg's Steely Dan Memoribilia Collection on DougWestberg.com
I got inspired to start collecting Steely Dan by my brother Rich, who, despite my going gonzo with the collecting thing, will never be supplanted as the pre-eminent Dan fanatic in the family.
Steely Dan is my absolute favorite group, and I have a dozen of their songs in my performing repertoire, far more than any other artist except me.   I credit Steely Dan as a major influence on me as a composer, particularly my Sometimes I Imagine Asking Joni, In My Heart, and Cyber-Pal.
Besides the fact that I adore them, I thought also that because Steely Dan was so unavaricious and protective about things like outtakes and ancillary marketing, they would be a band for which I could reasonably hope to collect a respectable sampling of memorabilia and rarities.

 Steely Dan - By William Gibson
My theory, such as it is, about Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, is that their Third, their Other, Mistah Steely Dan hisself, proved so problematic an entity for the both of them, so seductive and determined a swirl of ectoplasm, that they opted to stay the hell away from him for 20 years.
Now whatever Mistah Dan might be — and I myself am inclined to think of him as a literary, or perhaps paraliterary, as much as a purely musical figure — Becker and Fagen are musos of the first water.
I suspect that this is somehow the result of an encyclopedic sense of American music, an effortlessly graceful facility at collage and that patented Steely Dan studio wax, as though one were listening down through a hundred coats of hand-rubbed sonic carnauba, each glossy layer somehow highlighting a different aspect of the composition.

Steely Dan have always been primarily a studio band, finding live shows and tours too arduous and unrewarding to do with any frequency.
