Think Steely Dan is smooth-rock for your Dad on those nights when he’s acting a little funny? Well, you’re probably right. But that didn’t stop the veteran duo from delivering a catalogue-spanning mix of classic sing-alongs during Day One of the Coachella Arts & Music Festival that surprisingly young whippersnappers sang along to with unabashed glee.
Coachella Day 1: Action Bronson, AC/DC Rule The Day
Walter Becker and Donald Fagen certainly look their age, but delivered strong charisma and top-level goodness through “Hey Nineteen,” “Show Biz Kids” (with killer sax solo), and of course, “Reelin in the Years”. Added bonus: Becker’s drunk-uncle ranting about everything under the sun, including the band’s potential to enhance their listeners’ love lives.
