Steely Dan! Another July Live Concert

Donald Fagen on stage in Charlotte, July, 2016. Donald is all over my blog. Sometimes I think my gallery looks like a Steely Dan page from all the shows I have been to. This is not one of my best photos of Donald but it is one I took on that night. It is a bit strange seeing a band over and over as I have with so many different acts. You can get a bit jaded even sitting 10 feet from one of your favorite bands for years as I have. I have been fortunate through my diligence to get mostly front row and near front row for most all of these shows. When you are that close you start to hear things differently. You see things differently. That is my preference when I see music. I want to connect and experience the moment. On this night I will say I was in front of a great band full of talent. My only problem was I was comparing a great gig to a great gig from the past. The night went by very quickly and it was quite a night. I think I have reached a point where I want to travel to the Beacon in NYC to see them do an album. I hope there is enough time left to actually pull that off and experience it.
