Live music is slowly returning to normal and Steely Dan is following suit. The band announced a 2021 fall tour – aptly titled The Absolutely Normal Tour ’21 – although the verdict is still out on exactly how normal live concerts will be come fall.
The Absolutely Normal Tour ’21 kicks off in Miami, FL on October 5th with tickets going on sale this Friday, July 30th at 10am local time via Ticketmaster. Platinum tickets are available beginning Thursday, July 29th at 10am local time.
The group also announced the forthcoming release of Northeast Corridor: Steely Dan Live!, which marks the first live album from the band in 25 years. The Nightfly Live – a live version of Donald Fagen’s acclaimed solo album will also be released. Both albums will be available September 24th on digital and CD and on October 1st on 180-gram vinyl.
Northeast Corridor: Steely Dan Live! was recorded across tour dates at New York City’s Beacon Theatre, The Met Philadelphia, & more, and showcases selections from Steely Dan’s extraordinary catalog of slinky grooves, sleek subversive lyrics, and infectious hits. Donald Fagen’s The Nightfly Live was performed live by The Steely Dan Band.
In 2022, Steely Dan will head out with Steve Winwood for the Earth After Hours Tour, which was originally set to take place in the summer of 2020, but rescheduled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Donald Fagen is the only member of Steely Dan remaining in the band. Co-founding member Walter Becker passed in 2017 and although Donald Fagen has said he would rather have retired the Steely Dan name after Becker’s death, he told Rolling Stone in 2017 that he was persuaded by tour promoters to continue using it.
