I am sharing this one more as a piece of history than a high quality listening experience. I spent far too long working on trying to salvage this recording, including editing some songs in four or five separate pieces as the audio quality kept changing to try and make it sound somewhat cohesive. But I do hope you enjoy it just the same. For all its faults, I still have really been thrilled to listen to this concert so much while working on it!
What is cool about this show is that you can hear how jacked the audience is to be there. Hearing the crowd drown out the band during deacon blues brings tears to the eyes. I can only imagine what it wouldve been like to actually be there.
Wow !! !! !! This is a remarkable remastering of circa 1993 recording technology. I appreciate your diligence and attention to detail. I was at the first of two Houston shows (Friday September 3rd, 1993) where SD played more cuts off of Aja than the Saturday show. I went with my friend Charles Harris (who was also a big music geek like me). Easily one of the best five concerts (out of the over 2100) I have attended since 1966. Thanks for offering a set list that overlaps with the one for my show. As a side note, Donald mentioned that they were writing the liner notes for the Citizen box set in their Houston hotel suite (the Warwick or Shamrock as I recall). The audience was wall-to-wall dedicated Dan Fans who like us had waited years for a live show. It was an awesome experience. Once again my deepest thanks for birthing this labor of love. I’ll listen to it often. Grayson Miller
I was there that night. I’m honored to have seen Dan’s first live show in all that time. To this day, Steely Dan (RIP Walter) remains my favorite ongoing concert experience. Cornelius, Drew, Peter Erskine, and everyone else. This is a piece of history. Thank you OP!
Dan, I actually have a question for you...I'm thinking of making a video looking at some of my favorite performances from Steely Dan concerts on my main channel and I was wondering if I would be able to reference your remasters for a few short clips. I'd certainly be crediting you and giving a link back to your channel. Let me know if you would be okay with this, I just wanted to get permission first. Thanks!
Never looked at this set list before… my first show was in Chicago #3 on that tour and while this set list was 1/2 SD and 1/2 solo stuff I think they made a lot of changes by the 3rd show.
The first handful of shows in '93 were very different setlists from the rest of the tour. They played lots of solo material that didn't end up sticking around, so some of these songs only got played two or three times before getting shelved.
@@djbelc01 one of the really cool things about this show is that you get this sense that for the first few songs that DF really didn't know how the crowd was going to react, which is a feeling everybody who has ever gigged has felt. Kind of inspiring, makes these guys almost seem human, at least for a song or two.

Thanks. It is history at any quality, and appreciated.
