Is that the Elvis Costello / Steely Dan tour?

I like Steely Dan, even tolerated Donald Fagen's then GF Rosie Vela's CD. But they play too much of them on 91.1 Jazz FM in Toronto. They just aren't jazz. Sorry.
I'd love to see Elvis Costello...
but errrr.... Steely Dan??? Seriously?

They were supposed to be good live but never saw them
Steely Dan was the best. Aja was one of those albums that everybody had. Great chick songs like Josie, Peg and Hey Nineteen.

It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail

I believe Steely Dan has been touring without Becker for a while now so I suspect the bank will play on. Saw EC over the summer - great show

Didn't know they were already touring without him. Interesting.

I saw Costello this past summer. I figured it would be boring. Nope! Quite excellent. He's still got it.

Hey Nineteen is a great song and offers a tremendous outlining of the issues which arise when attempting to communicate in English with a hook about anything other than handing your money over.
