LAS VEGAS (Jan. 16, 2017) – STEELY DAN's yearly residencies in New York City are now the stuff of legend — and the west coast faithful always had to cross a continent to join in on the multi-night fun.
That's about to change: In 2017, Steely Dan founders Donald Fagen and Walter Becker will play a nine-night Steely Dan residency at the Opaline Theatre at The Venetian ® in Las Vegas, Nevada between April 12 - April 29 (dates below ).
Donald and Walter are again supported by "the best touring band on the stage today": Jon Herington (guitar), Keith Carlock (drums), Freddie Washington (bass), Jim Beard (keyboards), Roger Rosenberg, Walt Weiskopf, Michael Leonhart , Jim Pugh (horns) and Carolyn Leonhart, Cindy Mizelle, and La Tanya Hall (backing vocals). Critics and fans now rightly evoke the legendary Big Bands of a previous era as the only apt comparison for the virtuosity, versatility, and vise-like cohesion of this Steely Dan musical collective.
These master musicians will treat audiences each night to a diverse set of classics, drawn from Steely Dan's extraordinary catalog of infections tunes, bodacious harmonies, irresistible grooves, and, of course, those sleek, subversive lyrics — all decked out in perfect Sin City style: blazing solo work and sparkling musicality sewn up into ensemble arrangements of skintight fit.
American Express® card members can purchase advance tickets beginning Jan. 17 at 10 a.m. PT through Jan. 19 at 10 p.m. PT. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. PT and can be purchased through ticketmaster.com, The Venetian Box Office, and charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000. Tickets are subject to applicable service charges, and event time and date are subject to change.

Co-founded by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker in 1972, STEELY DAN has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and helped define the soundtrack of the '70s with hits such as Reelin' in the Years, Rikki Don't Lose That Number, F.M., Peg, Hey Nineteen, Deacon Blues, and Babylon Sisters, culled from their seven platinum albums issued between 1972 and 1980 (including 1977's ground breaking "Aja"). Critical esteem and popular demand continued to grow through the 80's and into the 90s, when Donald and Walter reunited in the early '90s, launching a string of sold-out tours that continue through today. In 2000 they released multi-Grammy winner (including Album Of The Year) "Two Against Nature", and released its acclaimed follow-up "Everything Must Go" in 2003. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
In the summer tour of 2016, The Dan Who Knew Too Much special guest Steve Winwood made for a music lovers' dream double bill. Another 2016 special guest was Rickie Lee Jones, who joined 4 of the Dan's 10-night autumn residency shows at New York's Beacon Theatre. On one of those New York nights, Steely Dan performed 1973's Countdown to Ecstasy in its entirety for the first time.
