At Hollywood Bowl! Don Fagen was incredible. At 74, I’m guessing this is his last tour, but they had a great almost two-hour setlist:

Night By Night  
Hey 18  
Black Friday  
Kid Charlemagne  
Time Out of Mind (incredible)  
F.M.  
Home at Last (Absolutely incredible)  
Dirty Work (with Danettes doing all vocals, giving Fagen a break)  
Peg  
Bodhishsttva  
My Old School  
Reeling In the Years

Other songs too. Will post setlist later.

If they tour near you, it’s completely worth it.

This made me happy to read this. I never get tired of the Dan.

Thanks for sharing.

Forgot to add Aja, Babylon Sisters, Green Earring.

Setlists are about two songs different in shows so far. Here’s the HB setlist: [Steely Dan Concert Setlist at Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles on May 27, 2022 | setlist.fm](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/steely-dan/2022/hollywood-bowl-los-angeles-ca-3b74513.html)

I saw Steely Dan in 2015, two years before Walter Becker passed away, and it was an amazing show. Has the OP seen SD before Becker’s death and if so, how did the shows compare?

I thought the thread would be about a band supporting the horror movie franchise tour.

I’m going tonight (after 2 year delay) in San Diego (Chula Vista). Looking forward to it.

Shall we blame this on the Cuervo Gold or the fine Colombian?

I am insanely jealous.  
Doesn’t look like they’re coming to the UK ☹

Not coming to Portland, Oregon. Or Seattle. Or Los Angeles.  
Nothing on the west coast at all. What gives?

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it and wish they would come to Portland.

Maybe. Or maybe – at 74 y/o – Fagen just mis-remembered her age 😉

Sorry - no marigolds in the promised land - there’s a hole in the ground where they used to grow.

Some dragon-chasing, to be sure.  
Too many double Sams, possibly.  
Or that bloody Kirschwasser.

Hey where’s **Scabpicker**?  
Maybe I’ll @ him 😆

First one was in Auburn, WA. Then Concord, CA then LA. I was at Hollywood Bowl.

I’d say they’re pretty equal, a little less without Becker’s presence though. When he was there, the solos were pretty split up among the guitars. Sets were different as well. We didn’t hear Sign In Stranger or The Royal Scam this time.

In this tour it looks like there’s at least one difference for each show. I got FM, @cormac262 got Godwhacker at his show.

Actually, it’s the prequel of Hey 19, except the girl in question is more erratic about dorm life. 😃
