Concert announcement: Steely Dan at the Fox Theatre
Classic duo Steely Dan brings its Think Fast, Steely Dan tour to the Fox Theatre at 8 p.m. Aug. 18.
Tickets are $55-$85, with a limited number of gold circle seating available. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, available through MetroTix outlets, www.metrotix.com, 314-534-1111, and at the box office.
This is said to be the first time Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen and Walter Becker have done a St. Louis theater show since 1974.
Kevin C. Johnson has covered the St. Louis' music and nightlife scene for the past decade. 
OK, Steely Dan does have Peg. So they are tied. A good concert would be both bands, at Six Flags.
It is about time. Steely Dan is a classic act. For those of you who are talking about some other group, you need to get on the band wagon. These guys are awesome. Sit back and listen to them, it will be well worth it.
Wow, talk about casting pearls before swine…Steely Dan announced for the Fox theater and the ignorant masses begin whining they have ”no hits.” Well, Steely Dan has never really been about making hits–though they have had their share. Songs like ”Do It Again,” ”Reelin’ in the Years,” ”Rikki, Don’t Lose That Number,” ”Peg,” ”Josie,” ”Time Out of Mind,” ”Hey 19,” and ”Cousin Dupree” among them. They’re the preeminent jazz/rock artists of the modern era with intricate music performed by the best available musicians. ”Not around anymore–” Duhhhhh! They played on Labor Day ’06 at Verizon! Walter Becker released a new CD on JUNE 10TH!
Kids, don’t post here if you have no clue what you’re talking about….
Sorry, never heard of those songs. I do like Peg. I like Steelers Wheel better, I don’t think there is any question they could fill the Fox many more times than Steely Dan. But I don’t mean any offense to Steely Dan, who is definitely a good singer.
Wow, Cousin Dupree. I don’t listen to my iPod much, but it seems like every time I do, I have to hear that one. Don’t forget My Old School. Which was also a great bar in Collinsville back in the day.
Saw Steely 2 years ago ar Riverport…if those weren’t hits, what were they??? Great show and I will see them again at the Fox…
THE DAN RETURNS.
Absolutely marvelous news! The Fox Theater is a perfect venue for the wonderfully sophisticated music of Steely Dan! I can’t wait…
We saw them a couple years ago right outside of Chicago. What a GREAT show. Glad to see them coming to the Fox.
Obviously, this will be a great show. But I just can’t do those prices. I’d rather see a couple of shows at the pageant than pay this.
