I've seen them live 4 times in the past 6 years or so. I wish I saw them in the 70's or 80's or 90's.
You really only missed out on the 90s tours. They didn’t exist in the 80s. And in the 70s the touring version of Steely Dan was just randos picked by the studio Becker and Fagen were ordered to go out with. Until the renewed contract which included a “no tours” clause. When they reformed in the 90s with their own band, that’s when they got good live.
