Steely Dan fans rejoice! The trailblazing rock outfit has announced a fall residency at New York City’s Beacon Theatre, during which they’ll dedicate shows to full performances of the band’s most iconic albums. Across the nine dates, Donald Fagen and his backing band will rip through 1973’s Countdown to Ecstasy, 1976’s The Royal Scam, 1977’s Aja, 1980’s Gaucho, and Fagen’s 1982 solo LP, The Nightfly, as well as a greatest hits set and another in which fans will vote on the setlist.
The residency follows a recently announced co-headlining US tour with The Doobie Brothers, which kicks off in Charlotte on May 10th. Steely Dan’s forthcoming outings mark their first since the death of Steely Dan co-founder Walter Becker last September. In between the tour and the residency, you can catch Steely Dan at an additional five shows in Richmond, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Baltimore, and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. See Steely Dan’s full list of 2018 tour dates below.
Rolling Stone notes that Fagen’s live band will consist of guitarist Jon Herington, drummer Keith Carlock, bassist Freddie Washington, and keyboardist Jim Beard in addition to three backing vocalists and a four-piece horn section.
Tickets for the general public go on sale this Friday, March 30th at 10 a.m. ET. You can also grab them here.
