I thought it was a really great show....amazing band. But I was a bit disappointed they didn't play Deacon Blues. How do you not play that song??


How do you not play "Pretzel Logic" for the Geritol crowd....

The bass player was Freddy Washington. He was seated in front of the keyboard player.

They always have a good group of musicians, that's one thing you can rely on, I see Herington is still on lead for them. I've seen them live twice, probably won't get to see them again, but who knows.

Why did they name their band after a dildo?

From Wiki,

quote:

Fans of Beat Generation literature, Fagen and Becker named the band after "Steely Dan III from Yokohama", a strap-on dildo mentioned in the William S. Burroughs novel Naked Lunch.
