Steely Dan Y2K Rehearsals

Steely Dan rehearsing at Sony for the upcoming Y2K tour. Then it looks like rehearsals for VH1 Storytellers.

Edit: thanks to Pete Fogel we have more intel on the tape “These are not the rehearsals for the summer tour. These are the rehearsals for the filming of the Sony Studios shows. (PBS special)
First part is at SIR -West 52nd St. NYC. The second part is at Sony Studios on Tenth Ave. This was all filmed right in the middle of the Jazz/Plush documentary so, I was at all of these tapings. January, 2000”

This video is a treat because we also get to look through Roger's eyes, and of course he filmed the console and his mic placement. ha.

Could you imagine having a band like Steely Dan that spent years in the studio and have to figure out how to bring it to the people live. After The Steely Dan Band disbanded (Pretzel Logic?) they retreated to the studio creating some of the most exhilaratingly complex and technically masterful albums. Not that the Steely Dan Band wasn't great, because it was (Love you Skunk and Denny! ) BUT it was different, in my opinion.

Kudos to all the amazing musicians and dad that figured out how to bring the Steely Dan Sound to a live audience. That Y2K Tour looked so awesome (I was there a few times, I was kinda a wild teen sorry family!)

ALSO if you would like to support our efforts get your drum samples and EQ articles here! We are excited to hear what you make with them.
