STEELY DAN IN CONCERT:
Steely Dan is responsible for some of the most complex, finely crafted classic rock of the 20th century, and they continue to deliver on tour more than 40 years after their debut. Core members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are legendary for their musicianship, and they only surround themselves with the finest players, making for studio-perfect live renditions of their virtuosic compositions. Whether fans are out to wax nostalgic with "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" or sway in the breeze of "Hey Nineteen," Steely Dan never fails to deliver amaze, with another hit-filled tour planed for summer 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Walter Becker and Donald Fagen met in the late '60s at Bard College in Upstate New York, writing songs together for several years before officially forming Steely Dan and releasing their first single "Dallas" in 1972. While the single sold poorly, their debut album Can't Buy a Thrill was released later that year to considerable critical and commercial success, landing the band their first hits with "Do It Again" and "Reelin' in the Years." They continued to climb the charts throughout the decade, reaching their peak position in 1977 with Aja, a No. 3 hit widely regarded as a seminal album of the classic rock era. Amid rumors of a return to the studio, the band will hit the road in 2014 for an extensive summer tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Steely Dan has been around so long they can play an entire concert of familiar songs and not run out. I personally like a band that can recreate the studio sound on stage well. SD does this better than anyone else."
” I cannot think of a time that I was ever disappointed by a Steely Dan show, and this concert was no different. From the minute they took the stage right on up until they left it (almost two hours later) we were presented with excellent music performed to perfection with some stories thrown in for good measure."
"Always a MUST SEE when Steely Dan comes to town! Each song was performed superbly by top-notch musicians. Every member of the band was featured. It was hit after hit, classic after classic."
Such an iconic band and one of my all time favorite shows. Huge band and powerful concert. Loved it.
Disappointed that Steve Winwood don’t not play. When I bought my tickets Steve Winwood was on the ticket to play. I mostly bought the tickets to see Steve Winwood,
After postponing the concert last year and rescheduled this year - concert CANCELED! Totally bummed - fans deserved better in Charleston!
Great show. A must see. Had the bad seats by venue standard but venue has NO really bad seats, so it was fine. Glad the large display screens were there but the video person was expertly always showing the wrong player.
Steely Dan's music is legendary for impeccable production on their records, and the quality of the sound in their concerts is equally well done. Excellent music, musicians and production. They are the best.
The Capitol Theater is a great concert venue. I've been going there since high school back in the 70's. Many great shows and memories, indeed. I know it closed for a while back in the 90's? But it's good to see it thriving again. And Steely Dan was, of course, amazing, as always. Thank you for keeping great live music alive!!
I was at the Saturday performance and was very disappointed when the show ended after Steely Dan played for only 100 minutes. They also did not play a number of hit songs that I came to hear. As we were leaving the theater, I overheard many other concert goers with the same complaint. Very disappointed in Mr. Fagan. ..
Donald Fagen and the band put on an awesome show. Played all of the Royal Scam and then great songs from Aja and Guacho. Fagen's voice is as good as ever. The music sounds as good now as it did back in the 70s. If you can go - definitely see them play - such a great band.
Great venue. The seats need refurbishing. Concert was Entertaining.
Music, visuals, back ups were terrific . Donal Fagen is an outstanding performer with a great band . Great energy !!
