If you want to play with Don and Walter then you must be an exceptional musician and on this tour they have brought some great ones with them. Matching Walter lick for lick on lead guitar was Jon Herrington, ace studio guitarist out of New York. The drummer, Keith Carlock, was young and exceptionally talented. Normally drum solos are kind of boring, just thrashing about, hard as you can, but Keith performed one that was quite musical. The whole brass section was awesome but blues legend Cornelius Bumpus on baritone sax took the spotlight. In addition to those mentioned there was a bass player, piano player, trumpet, sax, trombone, and three very lovely back-up singers. Quite a full stage and all the band members were extremely talented.

Although Steely Dan was the only act on the bill tonight they had no problem in filling up the two and a half-hours slot with great music. Steely Dan's musical history dates back thirty or more years and its' the kind of music that transports back to a time and place. They played numerous songs off the new disc sprinkled in amongst the continuos hits like "Peg", "Hey Nineteen", "FM", "Josie" and "My Old School" just to name a few. Although the crowd was more mature (no mosh pits) than a typical rock concert there were fans of all ages in attendance proving that great music will always transcend the generations.
