Steely Dan Live - Rainbow Theatre (London, UK) - May 20, 1974

Описание: This is an audio recording of Steely Dan’s concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England, United Kingdom on May 20, 1974. This was the fifth concert the band did in the UK in general, which was part of their “Steely Dan Slips Into The UK” 1974 tour. The setlist used in this concert was already in use around the end of April, and it would be used for the second Rainbow Theatre concert and the US Summer concerts. The rest of the dates that were scheduled for the “Slips Into The UK” tour from May 23 at The Apollo in Glasgow, Scotland to June 1 at the Kursaal Ballroom in Southend, England would be cancelled due to Donald Fagen getting sick, which cut the tour short and meant the band only played 6 out of the 13 dates. This recording is well known as one of the best recordings of Steely Dan live, not just in the 1970s, but in general, as the recording comes straight from the soundboard and the band is in top tier shape, not to mention that it includes the entire show from start to finish, although My Old School is spliced up and is missing half a chorus and half a verse. Apparently no one bothered to upload this recording onto here after the channel that uploaded the only video featuring the full show was terminated, so i decided to do it myself. Enjoy!

P.S: The audio in this video did not receive any changes or adjustments from the original recording.
