Also Launch Web Site

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker a.k a STEELY DAN have announced
plans for their 1996 Summer Tour. This 28-city tour is scheduled
to begin on July 5th in Charleston, South Carolina and will
conclude on August 17th in George, WA.

Beasley (Piano and Keyboards), Ricky Lawson (Drums), Wayne Krantz
(Guitar), Cormelius Bumpus (Saxophone), Michael Leonhart
(Trumpet), Ari Ambrose (Saxophone), and Carolyn Leonhart

In addition to classic Steely Dan songs, fans can expect a few
surprises as well as performances of new material from their
forthcoming record.

Recently the band launched their first ever web site which can be
found at http://pathfinder.com/steelydan. Visitors to the site are
greeted with colorful graphics and can see the history of Steely
Dan, get transcripts from Becker and Fagen writings, read an
article from orginal Dan member Denny Dias, download sound bytes,
correspond with Fagen and Becker, read some of their favorite
reviews,and experience the unique Steely Dan humor along the way
(make sure you check out the tour demands for their 1996 tour).

STEELY DAN has been recording since 1972 with the release of their
first album Can't Buy A Thrill. Steely Dan's music has been
instantaneously identifiable, a mix of jazz and rock with some
rhythm and blues thrown in as well. Their latest record Alive in
America, is their first album in 15 years and first ever live
record. It was recorded during the 1993 (28 cities, 34 shows) and
1994 (18 cities, 22 shows) tours and contains 11 classic Steely
Dan songs including "Black Friday", "Peg", "Green Earrings",
"Aja", "Reelin in the Years", and "Josie" among others.

Subject: Charleston Hot Tip

Hey! Charleston is selling slowly as of 11am 4/13. Good seats available
now...it's not a TicketBastard show. The number is 803-577-4500. And
the operators at "SCAT" are even friendly!

Subject: Milwaukee/Chicago On Sale 4/20

The Sunday 14 April issue of the Chicago Tribune has an ad for the Dan's
Shows at The New World Music Theatre, Tinley Park, IL (August 2) and
Alpine
Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, WI (August 3). The tickets for both
venues go on sale at Noon (CDT) Saturday 20 April. TicketBastard still
doesn't have pricing. I will furnish that as I find out.

Does anyone have any info on this concert. The press release states that
it is
being held at the Merriweather Post Pavillion. However, I read a
correction in this
newsgroup that said there was a correction - that it would be in Manassa,
VA instead. I have called the Merriweather Post Pavillion and they do not
list Steely Dan on their schedule. Does anyone know the name of the place
they would play
in Manassa? The ticket outlets are no help at all!!!!! Any information
is greatly appreciated!!! You can post it here or E-mail me at
RLigh...@AOL.com or
you can do both!! Thanks in advance.

Here's a reply to my own question - I found out the answer today and got
my tickets. The concert is in Manassa, VA at the Nissan Pavilion. This
is not far from Washington D.C. if anyone is interested. The tour
schedule that has been posted on the Steely Dan home page and on this
newsgroup is incorrect because it shows July 21 as being at the
Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. Here is the phone number for
tickets at the Nissan Pavillion: 703-573-7328.

The July 21 Steely Dan show is at the Nissan Pavilion at Stone Ridge.
It is near Mannassas & Birstow VA, west of D.C.
I'm not sure if tickets are on sale yet, but call (410) 481-SEAT to inquire.

reserved seat, plus service charge. And the Nissan Pavilion is known
for the gridlock & huge traffic jams entering & leaving..... glad I saw
them in '93 & '94....
