Steely Dan was right on the Mark. They were
so GREAT,we all stood in the pouring rain to
hear every song. Their Setlist shined. Donald
was very entertaining and hip. The Band was
STELLAR. Great night. Great music. They still
have it ! Every song was a Hit. We Loved
them.

STEELY DAN AND DOOBIE CONCERT
these groups i grew up with, and they never lost a beat . a totally flawless performance. i highly recommend seeing them.

STEELY DAN/DOOBIE BROTHERS CONCERT 6/30/18
The Doobie Brothers opened the show and certainly did not
disapppoint. They belted out their songs effortlessly. They also played
for quite a while. Next up was Steely Dan. What can I say. They were
awesome. Transported me back to my college days. They played many
of their songs and I have to agree with the reviewer from Cincinnati,
Steeley Dan has a sound like no other band. They really are timeless. A
great show.
Scott Wood from Cincinnati, Ohio
GREAT NIGHT OF MUSIC
It was a great night in Cincinnati for a concert . I think the Doobie Brothers portfolio
of hits is under rated in the music world. The Doobie Brothers were amazing they
played a lot of great hits and sounded amazing . Steely Dan , what can I say..there
music is timeless and I love there music and it was awesome to hear them live. As
we get older most of us stop listening to our albums like we did when we were really
young , we tend to just hear the hits on classic rock radio and because of that I want
to thank Steely Dan for bringing me back to the album days ..hearing some songs
that are amazing but not on the play lists of classic rock radio was refreshing . I also
thank Steely Dan for having a sound unlike no other, today's music is all ballads and
cookie cutter music infused with ripped off music from the past. I was disappointed
that Steely Dan left out Deacon Blues as it is one of my all time favorite songs.
Joe A from Granger IN
DON'T LISTEN TO THE MUSICALLY UNEDUCATED
I can only think that the negative reviews here are from people with absolutely no musical knowledge, and
probably listen to one or two songs off of every album they've ever owned. Steely Dan has never been about
"hits", although they always throw in some radio play songs for those who don't bother listening to entire
collections. This is a band of world class musicians, if you take the time to read individual bios, you would
find that they all have played and recorded with many huge names in the industry. These are "go to "
musicians for a lot of your "hit makers". To have this collection of talent on one stage is nothing short of
incredible, and if you can't understand it, maybe you just shouldn't go to a top shelf show such as this. Stick
with the 3 chord, 4/4 time standard radio crap. I don't want to discourage anyone from expanding their
musical horizons, just disappointed with the lack of credit given here to a band that is head and shoulders
above most.
Jim Martz from Madison, Wisconsin
OLD PEOPLE CAN STILL ROCK AND ROLL
Doobies blew the place away. All voices are still in tact . GREAT SHOW. How can
Steely Dan possibly follow this.
Just like they did ! Fagan, without Becker, still fabulous. I had almost forgotten the
excellence of the music and the musicians that Fagan assembles for both the studio
sessions and the touring shows. At 73, I was on my feet and rocking my butt off
throughout both performances. I'd go again next year (if they come around) in a
heartbeat !
Jim Wiederaenders from Seattle, Washington
FAGEN DELIVERS BIG
I feel bad for people dissappointed by Doobie
Brothers or Steely Dan because I thought they were
both freaking awesome. Doobies always deliver.
Fagen brought good energy post Walter. Donald
moves around like a blind guy (no disrespect) for
years, and has an increasing east coast twang in his
voice that they seemed to soften with mixing. But
who cares? Donald is the greatest talent, his music is
beautifully complex and unique, and he rocked the
house. Mountaintop! I feel cleansed until next time. If
you like the Dan, do not stay away due to some luke
warm reviews. In Seattle this summer, check out
Nearly Dan at Jazz Alley four nights in July. Don't
snear. ND is electric because they spin Donald's
music so well. This music of Steely Dan is the best
music and it's live.
GJack from Dallas, Texas
STEELY DAN AND DOOBIE BROTHERS - PERFECT EXPERIENCE AT TMF
The Dan always leaves fans refreshed and looking forward to the next
concert, and the Doobie Brothers delivered at least as well. What a
perfect combo for a night out under a very comfortable Texas sky.
The Toyota Music Factory is an awesome venue, and we personally
witnessed many fans from far away make the trek into DFW to enjoy
two of the greatest bands of all time. So hard to believe that Becker
has passed on, but as Don Fagen said, "we'll carry on".
Not sure who the bigger fans are nowadays as 30 something children
enjoyed as much as the parents at our house, and the burger at the
Yard House was as good as they come.
Now for the sound quality. Great acoustics right off the bat. The
Doobie Brothers started off just a slight bit too loud, but that was
quickly adjusted, and the weather for the lawn was totally perfect,
especially after the sunset.
The Music Factory personnel were attentive and helpful, so the whole
experience gets an A+ from my crew. LOVE AND AWESOMENESS!
Melly from Cary, North Carolina
DOOBIE BROTHERS AND STEELY DAN MAY 11 RALEIGH CONCERT
Doobie Brothers played and played outstanding music and songs everyone knew
and loved -- Michael McDonald was not missed (in my estimation), proving once
again that everyone is indispensible BUT... The HIGHLIGHT of the evening was
Donald Fagen and his musicians -- Of course they played the favorites -- Are there
Steely Dan tunes that are NOT favorites? There was NOT one 'Tired Sea Song'
among the bunch and after watching a LOT of people leave BEFORE the show was
over (in COMPLETE disbelief!), the group finished up and THEN returned to play
Reelin' In the Years -- AWESOME! S.D.'s musicians are TOP FLIGHT and Donald is just
AMAZING -- I guess there are FANS and then there were the rest... Ah well...
Oh... With the number of people under the overhead roof, it could have been HOT
but fans kept a GREAT breeze going - We had GREAT seats!
Julie Roberts from Charlotte, North Carolina
DOOBIE BROS _ & STEELY DAN
Great concert! The Doobie Bros were very
good but Steely Dan was amazing! When
Steely Dan xame out i felt like i was
transported to a whole fif place! Amazong!
Bruce Polakoff from West Palm Beach, Florida
STEELY DAN / DOOBIE BROTHERS
The Doobie Brothers started promptly st 7:30 and
As anticipated ROCKED the house. An 80 minute set
included all of their Top 40 hits with the exception of
Michael McDonald tunes ( The DID play “Takin’ It To
The Streets )”). The crowd was enthusiastic and by the
closing number everyone was on their feet.
Steely Dan was incredible, as usual. Although I am
jaded ( this was my 16th time seeing them ) their
performance was near flawless. Both bands are have
members near 70 years old! Geriatric Rocking is NOT
DONE IN CHAIRS!
Julie Roberts from North Augusta, SC
GREAT ! FANTASTIC!
The Doobie Bros were great! Steely Dan was
fantastic! I am more of a fam of Steely Dan,
too! When Steely Dan came on i felt like i
was transported to NYC or LA! So perfect!
The sounf, the weather, amazing!
Mean Old Man from Boston, Massachusetts
WHY THE DAN HATE?
Doobies 3.5 stars. Steely Dan 4.5 stars. All great
performers. Doobies suffer without Michael
McDonald tunes. Steely Dan came on strong with a
ton of hits. Fagan sounded terrific. I was nervous
after reading the previous reviews. No need. Stellar
set list mde SD the deserved headliners.
Xfinity Center, Mansfield, MA.
Fizzoko from Boston, Massachusetts
STEELY DAN / DOOBIE BROTHERS MANSFIELD
The Doobie Brothers rocked. They had the crowd up and on it's feet for most of their
set. They played all the classics and with energy. They sounded great and played real
well.
Steely Dan did not fare as well. They miss Becker's jazzy guitar lines. The current
guitarist - tho he can certainly play - did not have a sound that cut through the
songs. He was too far back in the mix. Daonald Fagen has no more voice. At least on
this night. He croaked though Aja and was indistinguishable most of the night. You
saw his mouth move but heard nothing. And when you heard something - it was not
singing. He may have been sick - because he sounded like he had lost his voice. He
talked his way along - didn't sing anything. Just croaked.
This was my second time seeing Steely Dan - and it's probably my last. The band
sounded best with the back up singers - singing along.
Steve azmier from Toronto, Ontario
DOOBIES AND STEELY DAN TORONTO
Doobies were ok, music was a bit muddled but the olde standards
were there and a chance to see along. Steely Dan were in good form.
The music was tight and fresh. This group didn’t miss a beat.
It was a beautiful evening by the lake. The breeze was blowing...
Sandy from Detroit, Michigan
STEELY DAN THE SUMMER OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY
Saw The Dan & The Doobies last night at Pine Knob aka
DTE Energy (blah blah it mean Detroit Energy Energy
it'll Always be Pine Knob!) The Doobies kicked it out!
Fagen seemed just a li'l tired last nite. It was such a great show and a perfect nite - until 10 pm when the rain came.
Can anyone tell me if Fagen mentioned Becker? I must've missed it. Wasn't the same without Walter.
Pine Knob is a great place for an outdoor show. Usually we sit on the lawn. There were a lot of very young people there and they were jammin' WOW!
An infant was right next to us and she had such a great time!
Very nice area and nice view of the skiing hill right behind the stage area.
Sid Vicious from Chicago, Illinois
DOOBIES ROCKED FAGAN CLOCKED
Totally agree with some prior reviewers - Doobies Yay! Fagan Nay! The Doobies were spot on and actually sounded better than anticipated. Steely Dan band was adequate and the songs sounded vaguely familiar, but Fagan was often off-key and struggling to keep up.
You know you're old when your rock stars start looking like Grandpa...
And sounding like him too!
MAB from Chicago, Illinois
DOOBIE BROTHERS GREAT 5 STARS, STEELY DAN 3-STARS
I had lawn seating at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater. It was raining all day and
would possibly during the concert. Got there and they were giving out tickets to the
pavilion seating 101 section in exchange of my lawn seating tickets. Exchanged my
tickets and got great seating. Thanks, Hollywood Casino.
5 Stars) The Doobie Brothers came on first and Rocked the house from beginning to
end. Then played an encore. Great concert!
3 Stars) Steely Dan played second.
Sad to say. Every song had a jazzy flavor that was not to my liking and changed the
essence of my favorite songs of Steely Dan . Had to leave. Heard enough of the
Jazzed up renditions of their music. I was disappointed.
High-Mountain Mama from Denver, Colorado
DOOBIE BROTHERS WERE WORTH THE PRICE
The Doobie Brothers were great: sang all the best songs, sounded
fantastic, seemed genuinely happy to be performing. Steely Dan
was bizarre: Fagan seemed to be up there playing whatever he
wanted, jamming out with his buds while ignoring the hits we came
to hear. For the Doobies? A five-star rating. For Steely Dan, maybe
three stars for the musicianship onstage.
Charlie Baird from Seattle, Washington
THE DOOBIES ARE AS GOOD OR EVEN BETTER THAN EVER.
The ticket price was worth it for The Doobies alone. They
played and jammed throughout their show all of the hits I
loved since 1972, when I was 10. Eyes of Silver, China
Grove, Rockin down the Highway, South City Midnight
Lady, Without Love, Black Water, and more. I was thrilled
to finally see them after all this time. Great guitar and sax
jams, and an old time stage show and audience
appreciation. Reminded me of the good ole days. Steely
Dan, for me, was unbearable. Just not my thing. I’m so
glad I went, The Doobies are timeless.
Roberta T from Seattle, Washington
STEELY DAN STOLE THE SHOW
The show started right on time with the Doobie Brothers. Since I'm a Michael McDonald fan, I found the vocals lacking. The overall sound of the group (maybe due to the sound system?) was rough and kind of repetitive. However, once Steely Dan took the stage, the night was transformed! Judging by some of the reviews from last year, they must have upped their game because it was one hit after another! Donald Fagan was spot on as was the brass quartet and the lead guitar. Perfectly in tune, perfectly in sync...the sound transports you to another time while not sounding the least bit dated. The main downside of the night was it was overall TOO LOUD. Come on people, we are not deaf (at least we weren't before the concert!) Music should not hurt. Turn down the sound system, Key Arena.
Sillysally from Seattle, Washington
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY!
Saw these guys at the Key last night...the evening totally exceeded my expectations!! The
Doobie Bros played all of the great old hits we all remembered and got to our feet to
sing and dance to! I can't believe their voices are still recognisable as them. Steely Dan
was interesting...Loved the Brass and the Back-up singers and was totally intrigued by
Donald Fagan...first time to see him live and I wasn't disappointed. His voice was also
recognisable, which is hard for those older fellas to do...just not enough air in those
lungs! Totally enjoyed both groups but I have to say the Doobies stole the show for me!

DB/SD AUSTIN
Doobie Brothers were great. Wasn’t expecting
much from them but they were really good.
Sound was loud but fit their music. SD was
good, but they were much better 2 years ago.
The sound was not good for SD. I could not
hear the drums and bass very well and the
band just lacked the punch I was expecting.
Songs just fell flat for me and my wife. The
sound was definitely not mixed well and some
parts were
Barely audible. Come on sound guys. The
Austin360 Amphitheatre is a great venue even
on the HEB lawn. Overall a decent concert.
Alec Johansson from Seattle, Washington
DOOBIES YAY FAGEN NAY
The Doobie Brothers were fantastic and the newest member was
singing most of the hits and replicating the vocal sounds to a tee. The
band was great and all of the remaining original members were still
spot on. Hired hands were of the highest quality. NOW....... STEELY
DAN. Donald Fagen was unable to sing his songs and missed note after
note and sang out of key on every song except one, but the band was
the very best in the business. I wanted to leave 10 minutes into the
show. I wanted to throw up. To justify the ticket price and SWAG
purchase, I just convinced myself that I paid to see some of the best
guitar,sax and DRUMMERS in the business. DONALD...if you were sick,
I am sorry and I hope you get better. If you are just too old to sing, hire
a soundalike , or use backingtracks and lip sync or pitch correction
device. THERE !!! I SAID IT
GB from Nanuet, NY
STEELY DAN AND THE DOOBIE BROTHERS AT BETHEL WOODS 2018
Nobody expects 70-ish rock stars to be at peak form but the Doobie Brothers came pretty close.- 5 stars for them.
Unfortunately, Steely Dan was a puzzling disappointment. Strange choice of songs, and Donald Fagen looks like he's done. Missed a lot of notes and frankly seemed unwell. No "Deacon Blues" nor "Do ii Again"? The "Danettes" seemed bored and the show lacked energy. Music was pretty good thanks to the band behind them but generally not up to expectations.
Jamie from Toronto, Ontario
I'M GETTING OLD? WAS TOO LOUD...
Left after the Doobies were done... Our ears were painfully ringing. Having
said that - they were a fun show - played the songs that got the audience on
their feet - and lots of crowd interaction. They know their stuff - but seemed
distorted - at least for the first 1/2 of the show... Please also note: Lots of
audience gets up and heads to the beer counters throughout the show at this
venue. Then they return to seats - then back up for more beer - then back...
YOU are up and down, letting them in/out too....
Rick R. from Cincinnati, Ohio
5 STARS FOR DOOBIES, 1 STAR FOR STEELY DAN
Doobie Brothers incredible, vocals and music still intact after all of these years.
Harmonies still incredible. Perfect mix of hits and others, and played what the
crowd paid for and expected. Steely Dan not so much. This is a terrible pairing, and
I felt sorry for Steely Dan as they watched some of the audience file to the exits,
including me. Fagen has totally lost his voice, and seemed to only play the "hits"
with a tone of contempt, as if that is beneath him, including a terrible rendition of
"Rikki" where he actually came in early and was skipping lyrics. The musical elitists
are probable blind to how bad they were, and will attempt to mask the performance
by referencing the musicianship in the band. Yes, I go to a concert to hear the
singalong songs, not sit on my hands in my chair while the musicians try to show us
how accomplished they are at their craft.
Jim Holpuch from Akron, Ohio
DOBIE BROS. ARE THE BEST
Thank God for the doobie bros. I wish
they would have played the whole
concert. Steely dan was horrible!!
They sounded like they were playing
one long song. Fagen should have
stayed retired. Over half the crowd
walked out on Steely dan within the
1st half hour of their set. I gave 5 star
for doobie bros but a zero for steely
dan.
Mickie from Pittsburgh, PA
DOOBIE BROTHERS SHOULD A BEEN THE HEADLINERS
Saw at Denver Pepsi Center. Doobie Brothers rocked the house......people out of their seats
singing& dancing in aisles. They sounded GREAT !!!L. Steely Dan however was a yawnfest. We
left about 30 mins after they started playing & once outside saw that A TON of others were
leaving in the middle of their set too. Just boring..,every damn song sounded the same.
Cannot figure out how EVER Steely Dan was the headliner group. They were just OK at best.
Had they warmed up for the Doobie Bros, as they should have, people would have stayed for
the entire show & left happy & still singing. Would not ever pay to see Steely Dan again.Give
the Doobies 5 stars, Steely Dan 5 yawns
Lisa W. from Seattle, Washington
STEELEY DAN WAS CONFUSED
So excited to see Doobie Brothets and Steely
Dan at Key Arena
Doobie Brothers were pretty amazing.
Steely Dan on the othet hand seemed
confused on what to sing. People come to
see older bands to sing along with the hits.
Yeah that didn't happen. Many people
started leaving by about the fifth song
including us. What songs were they singing?
Who knows...fail
Dave from Evergreen Park, IL from Nashville, Tennessee
STEELY DAN AND THE DOOBIE BROTHERS
My wife and I were in Nashville and caught the Sunday Show. With the rain, the
venue could be a little more generous with starting the music when more fans are
actually in the venue. The entry gauntlet was frustrating. As to the music, I was
pleasantly surprised at how tight the Doobies sounded. They performed a nice crisp
hour set of the nothing but the hits. Much to my surprise, they stole the show.
Donald Fagan and the Band were good when the played, the loss of Walter Becker's
mic work with the fans was what was missing. Donald seemed a little cheesy
especially when he referenced the back-up singers as the Danettes. It was said by
someone else but Donald did have this look and feel of trying to be Ray Charles.
When the band was cooking, it was good, Try to keep the witty bantor to a
minimum, it was not working.
Elsa from Austin, Texas
WHAT’S UP WITH DONALD FAGEN?
Let me start with the ***** rating I give the Doobies. Could not have been better, those
guys are ageless and they brought on the hits and the audience to its feet.
On the other hand, Steely Dan indulged in playing obscure songs sprinkled with a few
hits in between. Mr. Fagen is quite the genius and I am sure he misses Mr. Becker.
Maybe there is a legal reason for the paucity of hits played or maybe he just didn’t want
to. It was a real disappointment to not hear Deacon Blues, Reeling in the Years, Rikki and
many others that I so wanted them to play.
I would love to know from the band if there was an actual reason for this, it would be
more understandable and forgivable.
Greg Petree from Mount Juliet, Tennessee
DOOBIE BROTHERS WERE GREAT. STEELY DAN AVOIDED MANY HITS
Perhaps it was due to the storm delay. I mainly came to see the Doobies anyway and
they were fantastic. However, Steely Dan did not perform: Deacon Blues, Ricky Don't
Lose That Number, FM (No Static at All), Do It Again. Then, we had to sit through jazz
numbers that sounded like intermission at a Broadway play before finally hearing
Reelin' in the Year as an encore. I know there are some die-hard fans that loved
Steely Dan's set. But ticket sales are based on hearing the hits you grew up loving.
That didn't happen. Thanks Doobie Brothers for a great (but too brief) show.
Neil from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England
DISAPPOINTED
Travelled up from Kissimmee to Jacksonville see two of my favourite groups with my family. We were on holiday from England. Disappointed on two fronts. No Michael McDonald - I was looking forward to hear him singing. Secondly the sound production for Steely Dan was poor. The band are very good with some brilliant musicians, but they were drown out by the bass and drums. The sound guy was on the stage to the side and should have been out front with the audience. Consequently several of the audience got up and left half way through.
from Charlotte, North Carolina
DOOBIE BROTHERS GREAT!
Doobie Brothers were great! Steeley Dan was
very boring. Played many songs but none of
what the band os famous for. PNC venue was
clean and a nice venue. Our group left before
the concert was over due to SD selection of
music. Disappointed.
Eric from Hickory, North Carolina
GREAT MUSIC, LOW ENERGY CROWD
Maybe the run of 70s legends is coming to a close. The Doobie Bros
started off rough, with an abrasive sound mix that came under control
as the set warmed up. The band worked hard to bring up the energy
of the crowd and you could feel it as the Bros closed with a string of
their most memorable hits. Black Water was especially fun. Steely Dan
(ie Donald Fagan) displayed their extroadinary musicianship, but the
energy died. Crowd up front was planted in their seats, complaining to
the few to sit down. Security prevented fans from filling empty seats
up front. Oh well. We cannot stay 18 forever.
from Raleigh, North Carolina
DOOBIE BROTHERS AWESOME STEELY DAN NOT SO MUCH !
First time seeing the Doobie Brothers and they were awesome and
sounded great! Very disappointed in Steely Dan. This was the third
time seeing them in the past 3 years and they fell totally flat this time
and sounded horrible. We left 50 minutes into their show.
Dom Gibson from San Francisco, California
MASSIVE DISSAPOINTMENT
We traveled from Chile for the Shoreline
arena show. After being a Danhead since Aja
it was painfully clear how past it's prime
Dan/Fagen are. The set was uninspiring from
both setlist and performance angles. Fagen
can no longer reach the high notes, and
seemingly importantly no longer has Walter
Becker keeping things in order. Bearing this
in mind he could at least played all the hits,
which would have helped to save the day
and fought the birefom which settled in
early on. Dan's shortfalls were made all the
more painfully blatant by The Doobies' joyful
exciting, electrifying set. A few more Mike
McDonald tracks (at least Minute by minute)
would have been lovely but, they saved the
day .
Tim from Boise, Idaho

Steely Dan was horrible, waste of money -- Doobie bros rocked it out 5 stars worth
Marie from Austin, Texas
JUST A MUSIC LOVER ESPECIALLY OF MY ERA
We were excited as this has been a bday surprise we’ve been looking forward to celebrating with my
daughter. The Doobie brothers were a night saver. They did not disappoint. S.D. Though this was the main
event in our view we loved steely therefore we showed up with love and support for the new Steeley Dan
band. To my surprise we were reallin in support many Fahd left within 20 minutes of them performing we
stuck it out mind you in previous concerts we were the last to leave last night was no different with the
exception of sharing our disappointment. Do it again is a staple WHAT how could you. Just broken at the
change in the output of songs and lack of sound it was clear the vocals were being drowned out by the
drums/bass. Hopeful that steeley Dan will entertain some but for us a total bust. Dobbie brothers your
amazing
