Steely Dan announce full-album Beacon Theatre run
Steely Dan already announced a 2018 summer tour with The Doobie Brothers, and they’ve now also announced another of their multi-night runs at NYC’s Beacon Theatre for the fall. Select nights will be dedicated to playing a Dan album in full, including nights of Countdown to Ecstasy (1973), The Royal Scam (1976), Aja (1977), and Gaucho (1980). They’re also doing two nights of Donald Fagen‘s 1982 solo album The Nightfly, one “By Popular Demand” night, and one “Greatest Hits” night. The schedule looks like this:
Wed., Oct. 17 – Royal Scam
Thurs., Oct. 18 – Aja
Sat., Oct. 20 – The Nightfly
Sun., Oct. 21 – “By Popular Demand”
Wed., Oct. 24 – Countdown to Ecstasy
Fri., Oct. 26 – Gaucho
Sat., Oct. 27 – Aja
Mon., Oct. 29 – The Nightfly
Tues., Oct. 30 “Greatest Hits”
Donald Fagen’s band for this includes Jon Herington (guitar), Keith Carlock (drums), Freddie Washington (bass), Jim Beard (keyboards), a four-piece horn section and three backup vocalists. You may remember that there is a legal battle between Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker’s estate about the Steely Dan name, and Fagen recently said, “I would actually prefer to call it Donald Fagen and the Steely Dan Band or something like that. We got a lot of flak from Live Nation about [not] calling it Steely Dan…To me, Steely Dan was just me and Walter.”
Tickets for the Beacon Theatre shows go on sale Friday (3/30) at 10 Am with an AmEx presale starting Tuesday (3/27) at 10 AM.
Steely Dan’s summer tour with The Doobie Brothers includes a few shows in NY and NJ too, and tickets for those (same link) are still available. All dates are listed below.
