Steely Dan - 1994-09-17 - Irvine Meadows, CA (SBD)

After an Independence Day concert in Santa Monica in 1974, Steely Dan retired from touring to focus on studio recordings. Band leaders Walter Becker and Donald Fagan had tired of the grind associated with live performing and preferred to focus on song writing and album production. After producing 4 more albums (Kati Lied, The Royal Scam, Aja & Gaucho) between 1975 and 1980, Becker and Fagan announced a split in their partnership in June 1981. It would be another 12 years before the two would formally reunite, ironically, to produce 2 solo albums. Becker produced Fagan’s album Kamakiriad, while Fagan returned the favor by serving as co-producer on Becker’s 11 Tracks of Whack. Even more irony followed, as the two then reformed Steely Dan, not to record an album, but to go on tour! While their 2 solo albums didn’t sell all that well, their live concerts received rave reviews. They had such a good time on the road in 1993, they “did it again’ in 1994. This soundboard recording captures the band on September 17, 1994, 16 years ago this very day.

Jimmy Buffett - 2005-09-04 - Chicago, IL (FM)

In September 2004, Jimmy Buffett played 2 concerts at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. Just a few weeks later, the Sox beat the Yankees in the playoffs (much to my chagrin) and went on to win the World Series. After 86 years, the Sox had broken the Curse of the Bambino and were on top of the baseball world. A year later, Buffett played at another legendary ballpark, Wrigley Field, home of another snake bit team, the Chicago Cubs, who had not won a world series since 1908. The Cubs had their own jinx, the Curse of the Billy Goat, and their fans were hoping that Buffett’s appearance might work as well for them as it did for Red Sox fans. Unfortunately, the Cubs fans had no such luck and the curse continues to this day.!! That said, folks who attended Buffett’s concert at Wrigley on September 4, 2005, 5 years ago today, did get a great night of music. Download this FM broadcast of that show to hear it for yourself!
