I saw Steely Dan live in 1974 in Long Beach Calif on their Pretzel Logic tour. Never have I heard a band that could play their music so closely to the original studio versions. They were amazing!

I was JUST thinking that exact same thing watching these clips I posted, REAL bands can play live- an almost non existent skill from the mediocre rubbish out there today
I had a similar experience back in early 1980. The band, interestingly enough, was Styx. They were actually unbelievable in concert, and I don't even like them that much (which begs the question, why did I go to the concert in the first place? To be honest, I don't really remember.).

I’ve seen Rush twice. They are also quite good at reproducing the studio versions of their songs in concert, although they do have to tune the guitars down a step so Geddy can sing some of the older ones. :)
