Think Fast....It's Steely Dan

So much to say, where to start. I've been a fan of Steely Dan since the 70's and they are one of the few bands that I've never been able to see in concert. Mom & I caught their show last night at Honda Center and I will remember it for a number of positive reasons (complete horn section, backing vocalists, best live drumming I've seen in years and finally seeing them LIVE); I will also remember it for a number of less than positive reasons (large number of instrumentals and not touching ANYTHING off of the "Can't Buy a Thrill" album). I think I can speak for Jo as well in that as we get older our tolerance for those folks who should know better in terms of their actions isn't very great...(we saw a lot of "older folks" acting like idiots)! Anyway, I guess I can now cross Steely Dan off my "bucket list" and for those of you who enjoy the finer details here is the set-list.
