Steely Dan - Live at NISSAN Pavillion , Stone Ridge with guest star - Wayne Kruntz

Steely Dan is an American rock band centered around the core members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. The band's peak of popularity was in the 1970s, when it released six albums that blended together elements of jazz, rock, funk, R&B, and pop. Their music is characterized by complex jazz-influenced structures and harmonies, literate lyrics and adroit musicianship.
Fagen and Becker named the band for a steam-powered dildo in the William Burroughs novel Naked Lunch. The group toured from 1972 to 1974, but from 1975 to 1980 the group became purely a studio-based act. The band was known for using session players such as Michael McDonald on their recordings. Steely Dan was inactive from 1981 through 1992, after Becker and Fagen parted ways but they have since reunited, returning with the 2000 release Two Against Nature. This concert is full of Steely Dan's greatest hits. Full Band members complete with voluptous back-up singers. Wayne Krantz performing second lead guitar. Showed very powerful blendings and carefully catching to every tune Donald Fagan performs. You won't regret viewing this video and for sure you'll be glued with the familiar tunes of Steely Dan.
