Our Take
Steely Dan Live... Maryland Heights 1993 Steely Dan, the ultimate smooth operators of 70s rock, have always held a special place in our jazz-infused hearts. So when this live recording from Maryland Heights in '93 popped up on our radar, we knew we were in for a treat. From the opening notes of "Bodhisattva", Donald Fagen and Walter Becker transport us back in time to a world where sax solos reigned supreme and polyester pants were the height of fashion. The band is on fire, delivering pitch-perfect renditions of classics like "Reelin' in the Years" and "Rikki Don't Lose That Number". But it's not just the hits that shine on this album. Deep cuts like "Kid Charlemagne" and "Deacon Blues" are given new life in the live setting, with extended solos and energetic crowd interactions that make you wish you could hop in a time machine and experience it for yourself. However, not everything is smooth sailing on this journey down memory lane. Some of the tracks feel a bit too polished, the edges smoothed over to a fault. And while Fagen's vocals are still silky smooth, there are moments where he struggles to hit those high notes. Overall, Steely Dan Live... Maryland Heights 1993 is a nostalgic trip worth taking for fans of the band. Just be prepared for a few bumps along the way as we navigate the twists and turns of this musical rollercoaster. Time to dust off your bell-bottoms and let the grooves take you on a journey back to the golden age of rock.
