Steely Dan were great.
Not only did they thoughtfully have Sam Yahel open, but the band was predictably impeccable.
On top of that, they had the gall to play the song 'Aja' with a drummer who is not 1/10th what Steve Gadd is on the recording... The drum breakdown was literally pathetic by comparison.
Well done. Consider me a hater.
Less than fifth best concert I've seen this year:
1. Dirty Projectors, 7-4-2009, Holocene, Portland
2. Phoenix, 6-18-2009, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn
3. Little Wings, 5-30-2009, Monster Island Basement, Brooklyn
4. Rain Machine, Nat Baldwin, Extra Life, 5-7-2009, Union Pool, Brooklyn
5. Larkin Grimm, 4-9-2009, The Delancey, Manhattan
Love you Steely Dan, but let's move forward.
