If Steely Dan had a different vocalist

I managed to see Steely Dan in DC probably about 10 years ago when they were doing entire albums. Walter Fagen's voice wasn't like his youthful self, but he sang the entire 3 hour show and played the rhodes the whole night.

Walter Becker played on a few songs, but he was constantly taking breaks on songs and had a backup guitar player, he died a couple of years later, and then Fagen went.

The also played Kid Charlamagne, and the crowd was on their feet.

@tomrk  Fagen is not dead AFAIK.

@soix You are correct.... Sorry, his wife died.

@tomrk - You must've meant to say Donald Fagen, not Walter Fagen. Then you mention Becker, who was sick for a while.They had a kid replace him after he died who was pretty good paired with lead guitarist Jon Herrington and he was on the Northeast Corridor live album, which is a must for any Dan fan. It's too bad they haven't been touring and they lost their excellent drummer to Toto (Keith Carlock). Hopefully Donald will get the itch to get back on the road.

They are totally unique and timeless. Avant grade? Tough to be that for 50+ years.

This always reminds me of what it must have been like for all the artists brought in to the studio.
