A companion album to Northeast Corridor: Steely Dan Live, Donald Fagens The Nightfly Live captures a 2019 performance of the 1982 album by Steely Dan (or the Steely Dan Band, as Fagen chooses to call them in the years following Walter Beckers 2017 death). Original producer Gary Katz is on board to capture all the sonic intricacies of this concert, helping the live album to sound remarkably similar to its studio predecessor. There are differences, to be sure: the digital punch of the 1982 record has been warmed, the beats swing a bit more, Fagens voice is thin and wispy, the backup singers take the lead on Maxine, and theres a bit more emphasis on R&B rhythms -- all elements that make this feel like a concert despite the precision of the production and performances. Its enough to keep Donald Fagens The Nightfly Live fleet on its feet, which is enough to keep this record fun. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
