No Concert for OLD Men

Wow !! Walter Becker , & Donald Fagen and an 11 piece band (4 horns, 3 girl singers, Guitar, Base, Piano, and drums) at Bethel Woods Amphitheater on Thursday night !! Outstanding show,,, 2 hours of very tight , perfectly mixed, Steely Dan music,,,, the highlights of the night for me were a few you do not always hear,,, "Don't take me Alive" from 1976's The Royal Scam and "ShowBiz Kids" from 1973's CountDown to Ecstasy... Walter Becker did the lead vocal for the Title track of 1980's "Gaucho", they encored with "FM" and "Kid Charlemagne", really a terrific show,, Beautiful grounds, and we are looking forward to goin back to take in the Museum. Getting out of the Parking lot was a bit on an adventure,, all there EX hippies,, now in these Sport cars and SUV's with Zero patience !! Pretty Ironic....

Maybe going back to see Allman Brothers in August, with Bob Weir and RATDOG,,so all you Deadheads get ready !!

On the drive over you pass thru a few Hasidic Jewish communities,,, in one of the towns there is a Theater with a play being performed by a local company,, and what play was it ??? you cannot make this shit up - FIDDLER ON THE ROOF !! Too funny.,... bet they had a big audition for the part of Tevye !!!
