This is a great show. John Herington is a good player, but he isn't Larry. I really wanted to go to this concert event, but there was no way logistically to make it happen. It is funny to hear Larry talk about relearning the songs after his friends told him to get real -- the audience expected the leads to be exactly the way they were on the record.
i remember in the song sharing days (napster, etc) these files were widely available. I burnt em all onto a disc and listened in my car. Wasnt this originally a european import? At any rate they seem to have disappeared from the internet and ebay.
Send me an email, djbelc01@gmail.com - I can get you a copy of the audio of this (and in fact, it'll sound even nicer than this one, I have redone this show, check the video description for a link to it)
STELLAR masterpiece! Thank you for your work! I am also Dan, and a huge fan of The Dan. My first show was the Think Fast tour at South Lake Tahoe. It was the biggest party I had ever been a part of, and Steely Dan was the house band. What a wonderful experience, and quite the wicked hangover! We've seen nine shows since then, and we miss Walter dearly. God bless The Dan.
I live in the Chicago area and have been to The Chicago Theatre a number of times though I've not seen SD there. The sound on this recording is crazy good! Unfortunately, Fagen's voice isn't quite up to par on this night. Anyway, thanks for this vid and putting in the time to make sure it sounds good. 👍 BTW, the coordination of the photos and who's playing at the time is fantastic!
This performance is good but I prefer the tight eight piece unit that hit the road in ‘74. This performance is more of a LITE FM version of that rocking incarnation.
Muscular. Crisp. Punchy. Steely Dan represented in their fullest dynamic and harmonic range yet. I've never been to the Chicago Theatre - until now. Where is your engineering award?. Thank you, Dan!!
This is a very special concert - arguably the most important of all Dan performances - great to see it getting the Royal Treatment - as it so much deserves….
Une des meilleures performances filmées de Steely Dan, un Vrai "Live TV Show" virtuose et intéressant en plus👌 Enfin, il me semble vu du "vieux continent" ! 😉🤔
Hi, I am new to this whole RU-vid stuff but a huge Steely Dan fan. I signed up for RU-vid PREMIUM so that I could download these concerts, then convert them to FLAC audio files through a program called SWITCH. So, how come I don't see a link to be able to download if I have signed up for RU-vid PREMIUM? I want to download them, then convert to FLAC files to listen to on DAP players. HELP
I don't know anything about RU-vid Premium, but good news... No need to worry about using Premium and converting them yourself. I have FLAC versions available for everything I post. Send me an email, djbelc01@gmail.com
Thanks once again Dan for all your hard work in making these concerts sound and look as good as they do. A SD live gig is definitely one of my happy places! 🫡🇬🇧
It's definitely sourced from the soundboard, and it already sounded quite nice even before I polished it up. Though I'm not certain how someone managed to get this recording, I found it shared through The Traders Den.
I think we can all agree that Cousin Dupree was an inexplicable mistake on 2VN. Otherwise those cuts here are pretty good. West of Hollywood started off bumpily but caught fire partway through. Home At Last here is fabulous. Unfortunately I think they hired the camera operators off the street as they were not good.
