STEELY DAN
The Record Plant, Sausalito, CA March 20th 1974 (KMET-FM)
Back in ‘74, Steely Dan were well on the way to becoming household names, revered by a wide spectrum of fans and artists, some of whom would attend the band’s legendary show at the Record Plant, CA on March 20th that year. This milestone performance was arranged as a promotional show for the release of Countdown To Ecstasy in a preferred studio environment before committing to a grand tour. Combined with the trademark cynical wit, intelligence and great hooks, the intimacy is similarly striking, a facet that makes this particular showcase such a prized event.
Originally broadcast live on air by the legendary late KMET FM in 1974, Timeline’s superior, professional remastering also comes with background notes and timeline photos.
