  In January 2001, Steely Dan performed "Black Friday" during their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, marking a significant point in their career. This performance came after a long hiatus following their reformation in the late 1990s, which led to the release of their acclaimed album "Two Against Nature" in 2000. This album was their first in over two decades, showcasing a mature sound that blended jazz-rock with sophisticated lyrics, which helped secure the band's legacy. The induction performance highlighted their enduring influence in rock music, demonstrating their unique style and connection with the audience. Interestingly, "Two Against Nature" would go on to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2001, solidifying Steely Dan's place in music history during a triumphant comeback.
