First rate musicianship across the board … guitars, drums, and bass especially.
Plus Walter Becker’s overall vibe, with the jacket and tie and the way he moves while he plays guitar, and those background singers sound great and look even better.
The Q&A with the audience is pretty funny, especially when the entire audience laughs at the question about where the band’s name came from, since they were already in on the joke. This band has always had a unique bond with their audience and it shows here, it comes across like a group of old friends who all get all the jokes and obscure references.
The first two tunes are among my favorite Dan records, Peg (4:05) and Kid Charlemagne (9:50)
It’s 45 minutes well spent.
