In marked contrast to the '06 show (which had the loud drunk chick along with a somewhat lackluster set), tonight's Steely Dan concert at the Honda Center in Anaheim rocked. Seriously. About as good as I've ever seen them. Fagan was in great voice, with his pitch probably better than I've ever heard. The backup singers were wearing fro wigs and cranked out some wicked soul, and the band was...well, it's the band. The standout of course was Keith Carlock, who is pretty much the best drummer going these days. Period.
More musings later, but suffice it to say that Home at Last was sublime, Show Biz Kids was wicked, and the Dan makes me want to make more music. Which I will later this week...
Main set: Overture / The Royal Scam / I Got the News / Show Biz Kids / Bodhisattva / Two Against Nature / Hey Nineteen / Godwhacker / Home at Last / New Frontier / Gaucho / Babylon Sisters / Parker’s Band / Josie / Aja / Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart (band intros) / Peg / My Old School
Encore: Don’t Take Me Alive / Kid Charlemagne

Obviously we didn't read the Bowl checklist #2 for reference...
