Nearly Dan  25th Anniversary Concert

Due to popular demand Nearly Dan have added a second show at Metronome Nottingham Friday 1 December as the show on Sunday 3 December has sold out.

The Band plan to perform two substantially different set lists on each of the nights. Featuring Greatest hits and Deep cuts from all of Steely Dan’s Classic Albums. Every song a gem from the genius of Donald Fagen & Walter Becker.

“We have always had great support for the Nottingham crowd for over 27 years, right back when we used to play at small venue called the Maze on Sherwood road”.

Less tribute and more homage, Nearly Dan is the saviour to the growing legions of Dan fans, desperate to hear the meticulously crafted grooves and allusive lyrical style of Donald Fagen & Walter Becker. Nearly Dan’s approach is faithful, though not reverential, and relaxed but as tight as their namesakes. They bring their own unique spirit and spontaneous humour to every concert.

It’s been over 40 years since the release of the first Steely Dan album “Can’t buy a Thrill, featuring the hits  Do it Again” and “Reelin’ in the years.

The band now in its 25th year on the road. Nearly Dan promise all the Steely Dan favourites in a two hour-plus show, featuring tracks from the groove of Countdown to Ecstasy to the super cool of celebrated albums “The Royal Scam” and “Aja and Gaucho” also featuring Donald Fagen’s classic solo masterpiece “The Nightfly”

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker have created some of the most influential music of the pop era. Inspired arrangements and witty, often biting, lyrics combine to make this some of the most distinctive music ever to grace the turntable, with hits such as Yacht Rock classics Reelin’ in the Years, Do It Again, Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Deacon Blues, Peg and FM. culled from their seven platinum albums issued between 1972 and 1980.

They reunited in the early 90s and toured throughout the decade, releasing multi-Grammy winner Two Against Nature in 2000 and its acclaimed follow-up Everything Must Go in 2003. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Walter Becker passed away September 2017.
