This was, in essence, a make-up show for all the New York fans who missed the cancelled Jones Beach concert during the summer. (Thanks, Hurricane Earl!) The Beacon crowd was remarkably restrained during the rousing show. Only at the end did they really get crazy, standing on their feet and dancing in the aisles. Donald seemed very happy to be up there, and was looking very good, with trademark dark shades and suit. Donald acted as host, putting little comments in here and there. My favorite joke was about how the group could no longer call themselves Dukes of September, since it was now December. I have to confess I was a little worried I would not get into the songs, since I am strictly a Steely Dan fan, and not really into 50s/60s stuff. But I'm happy to say all the songs were accessible, whether you are a fan of that era's music or not. The feeling of the concert was like a sing-along at a friend's house, with everyone singing their favorite tunes. I was shocked that the show went on 2 hours and 40 minutes with NO INTERMISSION. AMAZING! AND FANTASTIC! Everyone had so much energy. The only disappointment of the evening (minor) were the T-shirts. Nothing even tempted me to pluck down $40--none of the T-shirts had the guy's faces on them. However, it was nice to see Donald's three-CD Nightfly anthology available for purchase... Overall, the experience was different (in a refreshing and fun way) from your average Steely Dan show. Now, onto the songs... I don't have the set list down per se, but these were definitely the highlights. Sookie Sookie was the opener. Green Flower Street Shakedown Street [performed by Donald] Rock Steady [performed by Carolyn Leonhart] --she did a GREAT job--IMPRESSIVE Takin' it to the Streets--everyone got on their feet for this one What a Fool Believes Love TKO [performed by Boz] Lowdown [great, performed by Boz] IGY [for me, BEST SONG OF THE NIGHT. Donald's version here rivaled the album version.] Peg Pretzel Logic [EXCELLENT, of course Michael sang the line about the 'shoes'] Something in the Air [60s pop-folk number performed by Donald] You Never Can Tell [performed by Boz, it's from Pulp Fiction] Love Train Reeling in the Years [excellent] Help Me Rhonda [they really sounded like the beach boys up there] Backup singer Catherine Russell and Jon Herrington was also amazing. I hope they record these for posterity. Reminds me very much of Rock and Soul shows in early 90s...
