John Mulvey, uncut.co.uk: The deceased, one suspects, would not have appreciated sentimentality, and Donald Fagen is not about to dishonour STEELY DAN an old friend. “We’re the Steely Dan organisation,” he says. “We’re a little different from what we were a few months ago, but I gotta live with that.” As if to emphasise the change, Fagen launches into “New Frontier”, a song that marked his original liberation from the company of Walter Becker in the early ‘80s. Becker himself, dead eight weeks, is never mentioned. Allusion, irony and a fragile air of emotional detachment remain Steely Dan’s key coping strategies, even as they enter the final phase of their suitably complex career. + + + + + Thanks to SIRMick for sharing the show at The Traders’ Den. SIRMick noted: One of the jack plugs came out during the track, I Want To, about 1:42 is now mono and there is a splice with approximately 16 seconds missing 6:44 - 8:26.
