 Tim O’S Review from Boston Globe How ironic - Steely Dan is on a four-city tour delivering front-to-back live performances of albums that to this day stand as the rock era’s quintessential studio spawn: impossibly clean, obsessively calculated, meticulously crafted. Oh yeah, they’re also brilliant. Say what you will about Steely Dan’s extreme insularity, “Aja’’ is a jazz-rock masterpiece. 32 years after its release, Donald Fagen, Walter Becker, and a pristine 11-piece band played it to perfection at the Wang last night. At: the Citi Wang Theatre, last night (Steely Dan performs “Gaucho’’ tomorrow and “Takin’ It to the Seats,’’ an Internet request set, on Saturday) Fagen was miked so crisply it sounded like he was singing in the next seat, and Becker’s fleet, gleaming guitar tones fairly bounced off the stage. (I’d bet money these guys have the lengthiest sound check in the business.) The pair were flanked not by the gurus who recorded the original tracks - Wayne Shorter, Steve Gadd, Larry Carlton, the list goes on - but those musicians’ descendents, and in truth this band brought vitality to the preternaturally polished proceedings that has been missing from Steely Dan concerts in recent years. In a band as devoted to measured virtuosity as this one, the subtlest surprises go a long way. Fagen’s witty twists on the microphone during “Deacon Blues’’ and “Peg,’’ a few insidious tempo shifts and fresh chord voicings during “Home at Last,’’ a new coda for “I Got the News’’ - those discreet nods to the passage of time humanized the music’s relentlessly cool, complicated textures. But the real surprise came after “Aja’’ was finished, when Fagen announced that - thanks to a provocative interview several weeks ago with Globe music critic Sarah Rodman, during which she complained that the band wasn’t dedicating a night in Boston to “The Royal Scam’’ - Steely Dan would play “The Royal Scam.’’ The audience erupted, and so did the show. It’s a snide, mean-spirited, whip-smart collection, and from the opening bars of “Kid Charlemagne’’ through the sinister closing title track, the concert was transformed from classy to cranking. By the end of the main set, Fagen wasn’t reaching for notes; he was biting them, shaking each one in his jaw and spitting it out with a sneer that you could hear. Meeting deadline meant missing the encore, but according to a friend the final run of songs included “Hey Nineteen,’’ “Black Friday,’’ “My Old School,’’ and a pair chosen expressly for the local crowd: “Boston Rag’’ and a cover of “Dirty Water.’’ Joan Anderman can be reached at [email protected] © Copyright 2009 Globe Newspaper Company.

 Fza As far as Jay-Z's setlist, I am 100% positive he opened his set with an a cappella version of his one verse from the song 'A Dream' (1st track on his album 'The Blueprint 2'). It began with silence & all the stage lighting off.... it was more like he was reciting it as a poem (the cadence, the longer pauses, etc...). [Verse] "Had a dream, " I said, "'Bout who he said?" "'Bout B.I.G., " I said, "That's big he said" "Dig what he said", "Proceed, " he said "Indeed, " I said, so, breathe I did "Don't repeat what I say, " I said, he said nothing He agreed with his head, he just nodded like this What I believe to be a yes I repeated what was said "It came to me like a whisper last evening, " I said "What's the deal playboy?" was the greeting he said First thing I wanted to know, what's the reason he was dead "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems, better believe it, " he said "Careful what you wish for you might receive it, " he said "I see, " I said, "jealousy, " I said "Got the whole industry mad at me, " I said Then B.I. said, "Hov' remind yourself Nobody built like you, you designed yourself" "I agree, " I said, "My one of a kind self" Get stoned every day like Jesus did "What he said, " I said, has been said before "Just keep doing your thing, " he said, say no more [End verse] Couldn't tell you what came next for his setlist... but that moment is frozen in time, in my memory. It was especially powerful & memorable because it was a version of that song that no one ever heard before. The entire audience was silent (aside from a few people doing the ol' 'Woohoo' here & there)! Overall I remember leaving with a difrerent opinion than when I went in, as far as how good a hip-hop show/concert can be. Up until that point, I attended around 15-20 live hip-hop shows, and noticed that regardless of how famous the artist was, or how many millions of records they sold, a lot of shows sounded like the artist was yelling their lyrics into the mic... or in other words, unlike live shows for other music genres, I was almost convinced that the studio version for any hip-hop music always sounded far better than when it's performed live ('The Roots' are not included... I've only heard the opposite for them). Jay-Z's performance that day single-handedly changed my mind... and though I don't remember the full setlist, I do remember how clear & crisp the sound was (for the music & lyrics alike)!
