## Notes

Although I'd sampled a few Steely Dead Youtube vids sometime in the past year or so, I was really unprepared for how great this combination was in performance. It might seem crazy to mash the loose jamminess of the GD repertoire with the fiercely focused nature of Steely Dan, but these guys obviously love both bands, and have worked up a combination of the two that's simply magical.

Highly recommended if you're a fan of both!
