I'm still somewhat in awe that the great Jon Herington actually worked on that. Major dude. but not ANY major dude.

While I don't know a music chart from a hole in the ground, I appreciate and respect those who do. Well done, Jeff Truzzi!

Been listening to the outakes from Katy Lied. some great stuff there. Including an accoustic piano version of what was to become Black Cow.

Steely Dan (on Sunday night) is THE tightest band I've ever heard. They started out tight, and got tighter. "Babylon Sisters" was SO tight, you weren't aware of notes as much as all the spaces between the notes and their distinctive shapes. Like viewing MC Escher art from another perspective. I didn't know getting THAT tight was possible. A thing of beauty and awe, song and performance morphing to become transcendent, spiritual. Magical. Enlightening. Unforgettable.
Black Cow, Aja, Do It Again, Dirty Work, My Old School, Hey Nineteen, Pretzel Logic, Green Earrings, Reelin' In The Years & Kid Charlemagne each grooved like a MoFo, and were faithful - yet superior - to the records. I didn't expect that either.
"Bodhisattva" was alarmingly fast yet unbelievably clean. "Show Biz Kids" and "Pretzel Logic" were altered and improved. "Black Friday" became a fast shuffle. Only "Peg" didn't quite gel, uneven rhythms and tempo. (Noticeable only because everything else so DID.) And Walter should sing something easier than "Daddy Don't Live In That NYC No More." The rest reveal that those old recordings are just demos, being defined now in live performance. Wow.

Do they have that same guy introduce "Bodhisattva" at every show? Probably not, his liver would have given out by now.

Nearly Dan are a tribute/cover band for the 70s alternative rock band Steely Dan. The band was formed in 1997 from musicians living in Stoke-On-Trent in North England and have recently celebrated their 10th year of playing as Nearly Dan. The band advertise that they are able to play near note-perfect covers of Steely Dan records from across the entire discography of the band, including some solo work from Steely Dan frontman Donald Fagen. Such is their popularity amongst music fans that they have played many venues big and small, both nationally and internationally. Sounds more Desperate Dan
