Allowing for Fagen's 60+ voice,the show was all that. Fagen certainly seems to be channeling Ray Charles in his movements.
Even won $150 playing roulette.
Certainly glad I made the sojourn.
Heading to Joisey! 6 hours till Dan-time!!
"Henry Cow always wanted to push itself, so sometimes we would write music that we couldn't actually play – I found that very encouraging." - Lindsay Cooper, 1998
"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014

Not at the show I attended last year. Unaware of the band's policy, I had an usher come over to me and tell me to put my phone away, which I happily did. She actually apologized and said it was the band's policy, not the venue's. I like to get a few quick shots at the concerts I go to as a personal memento (I'm not one of those people who watch the whole show through their phone), but I'm always happy to do whatever the artist requests. And I wasn't using a flash.
The security team policed the crowd through the whole show. I saw lots of people getting the finger-across-the-throat gesture as the ushers approached them.
Spent about $225- on my 10th row seat, tour shirt,
r/t train ticket from NY - NJ, dinner and drinks.
If they release seats next week on Long Island, I'll go again. Except for I've Got The News and Deacon Blues they played their entire Aja album. Great stuff! My 2 favorite bands (King Crimson) touring at the same time is giving me a hell of a fortnight, Holdsworth and Bozzio too in that timeframe. It's like Christmas and New Year's and my Birthday all together. Life is good! (As long as I don't look at my bank account) Hmmm...do I dare see Billy Cobham tomorrow? Or Friday?

Note, I just finished reading "Eminent Hipsters" Thought I would not like it as I didn't want to listen to a whiny 65 year old Jewish guy.
As I read it, I laughed, and realized I had made many of the same observations as Donald. Doesn't make us right but it gives us a connection.
Short and easy read.
