Yeah but will it be the same without Walter Becker? Or kind of like going to see Journey? I saw the Eagles last year and that was a great show right before covid even though Glenn Frey was gone.

The level of musicianship that Steely Dan has is basically beyond reproach. Sure, the fans miss Becker but it will be a fantastic show. I saw Roger Water's The Wall tour twice. It would have been awesome to have Gilmour there but the whole production was flawless anyway.

Becker may have been one of the brains that brought us SD, a genius at crafting songs in the studio, but he added nothing musicianship wise to the current lineup in a live performance. Having seen them a few times with Becker I found him irritating, he did this “stoner” rant during every show that did nothing but waste time that could have been used to do another song. Jon Herrington is so good on guitar you never even noticed if Becker was playing or not.

And no Don Felder, so, congratulations, you saw an Eagles tribute band.

I'm having significant problems with it. Isn't this just "Donald Fagen featuring the music of Steely Dan"? They could get by without anyone else, but Steely Dan WAS Fagen and Becker. Accept no substitutes.
