Steely Dan to Hit the Road This Fall on the Absolutely Normal Tour
Steely Dan is set to hit the road this fall on the Absolutely Normal Tour, their first since the pandemic shut down live music back in March of 2020. The run kicks off in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, October 5th with a four-night stand.
After Florida, the band will hit 14 cities, wrapping at the Orpheum in Boston. Tickets are on sale on Friday, July 30th, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
Steely Dan is also set to drop a new live album, Northeast Corridor: Steely Dan Live!, as well as a live recording of Donald Fagen’s The Nightfly Live on September 24th. The former is the band’s first live album in 25 years.
When last Rolling Stone checked in with Fagen, during the early days of the pandemic, he told us he was “hangin’ tight in the Apple, baby, gargling Clorox under a sunlamp.” He also recently appeared on David Crosby’s latest solo album, For Free, which dropped July 23rd. Together, Crosby and Fagen penned the Steely Dan-flavored track, “Rodriguez for the Night.”
“I’m so honored he gave us a set of words,” Crosby told Rolling Stone last year. “I’ve been asking him for a couple of years. He started to trust us, I think. It took a long time, but he gave us a set of words that are really wonderful and we just wrote the shit out of them.”
