Title: It's the Dan, but....
Product review: ...not the Dan at their best. Not even close.All the energy seems to have been sapped from an amazing repertoire of brilliant, twisted songs. The good news is: they can still RIP in concert -- as the current PBS broadcast of a live show reveals. They sure as hell haven't lost it... but "it" was clearly on hiatus during the performances on this disc.There's so little power in the performance that you almost have to wonder if this release had more to do with financial need or contract obligations than showing off their brilliance. Get everything else (well, okay, maybe skip Kamakiriad). But only the most die-hard Steely Dan fans will find this one worth having... and even then, more for curiosity than anything else.
