  In September 2006, Steely Dan was on a successful tour that showcased their classic hits, and their performance in St. Louis captured the essence of this resurgence in popularity. This period came shortly after the release of their 2003 album *Everything Must Go*, which demonstrated a return to form for the band. Notably, this era also marked a continuation of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker's unique blend of jazz-rock, characterized by sophisticated melodies and intricate arrangements. Their live performances gained acclaim for the tightness of the band and the inclusion of rich instrumental interludes. The 2006 concert reflects their enduring appeal, even as they navigated the challenges of the music industry and the passing of Becker in 2017 adds a poignant layer to the legacy of their performances. Fans often express deep appreciation for the duo's ability to maintain high-caliber live shows, making such recordings essential for capturing the full extent of their influence in music.
