Steely Dan

Steely Dan - Live at the Wang Center, Boston, MA, July 22, 2009 - Unof.

The July 22nd gig at the Wang Center, Boston, features Steely Dan's classic "Aja" , and "The Royal Scam" albums. The album also features five encores. As is usual for these recordings, you will know what to expect in terms of sound quality, although this album is much better, soundwise than most of the Dan's live recordings you will have heard. The only good quality sound recordings of the Dan live in concert go back to the seventies. Buy any of these "Showbiz Kid's" albums. There is no need to elaborate on Walter Becker, & Donald Fagen's musical achievements. Even the late Cathy Berberian knew that !
