Steely Dan

'The Tonight Show' crowd didn't seem familiar with the band.

"Some of those gigs I remember were pretty smokin'," he tells UCR.

The group's bus driver, Jerome Aniton, bestowed the moniker upon them one alcohol-fueled evening.

He also played with jazz greats John McLaughlin, Wayne Shorter and others.

Steely Dan will reportedly rejoin the Eagles' farewell tour in November.

He steps in for ailing openers.

Evening included tributes to Randy Meisner and Jimmy Buffett.

Sophomore album found Donald Fagen and Walter Becker at their weirdest and most eclectic.

The band cut the two-minute track during the gap between 'Can't Buy a Thrill' and 'Countdown to Ecstasy.'

Longtime friends Steely Dan will serve as the opening act.
