Steely Dan - Live In California 1974 (2023)

Back in '74, Steely Dan were well on the way to becoming household names, revered by a wide spectrum of fans and artists, some of whom would attend the band's legendary show at the Record Plant, CA on March 20th that year. This milestone performance was arranged as a promotional show for the release of Pretzel Logic in a preferred studio environment before committing to a grand tour. Combined with the trademark cynical wit, intelligence and great hooks, the intimacy is similarly striking, a facet that makes this particular showcase such a prized event.
