Steely Dan announced today that the band will return to New York City’s legendary Beacon Theatre for a nine-night residency of themed performances. From October 17 – October 30, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will stage complete performances of Steely Dan’s Countdown to Ecstasy (1973), The Royal Scam (1976), Aja (1977), Gaucho (1980), as well as Donald Fagen’s solo album The Nightfly (1982), plus “By Popular Demand” and “Greatest Hits” nights. In addition to the nine-night NYC run, Steely Dan has announced five October performance dates in Richmond, VA; Pittsburgh, PA; Buffalo, NY; Baltimore, MD; and Bethlehem, PA.
