Title: Predictable and Irrelevant
Product review: Given that Steely Dan was primarily a studio creation of reclusive geniuses Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, did anyone honestly expect a live Steely Dan to gain anything on stage? This "live" record is sterile and lifeless, the arrangements differ so imperceptably from their album counterparts, that this record becomes cynical by its very exisitence. The studio versions of everything on "Alive in America" outshine this disc's surpirsing sterile performances, making this one for the diehards only.
