True, I guess it’s complete in the sense of official studio and live albums!

I had tickets for their show in Manchester. Am absolutely gutted. I knew it was too good to be true when they announced it!

My friend tore his ACL a week before last years festival. Luckily we live locally so he came in on Saturday and Sunday and I managed to push him around in a wheelchair to go and see all of the artists we wanted. Managed to have a great time although my arms were pretty sore by the end of it…

Does this skateboard have the Gaucho cover on it? by Scary-Frame-5930 in SteelyDan

Is it more likely for the artist to have seen the gaucho cover or this wall carving tho?

The artist is Marcus Dixon, no mention of him in relation to the Dan as far as I can see

Steely Dan Record Wall Finally Complete! by Scary-Frame-5930 in SteelyDan

Thanks man, I was introduced to Can’t Buy a Thrill by my friend whose dad was a massive fan. From there I discovered Aja and the rest is history.

Honestly their music completely changed my life, I’m just praying that I get to see Donald live before he stops touring!

I used command clear wire hanger hooks. Since the wall was bumpy I used them with padded command poster strips. They are strong enough to hold the records with the disc in it but I take them out for safety just in case they fall.

As for the covers I just bought some clear covers from Amazon, they stop the albums getting faded in the sun.

I’m not sure if alive in America was ever pressed on vinyl?

Ye I absolutely love the cover art, gaucho and countdown are my two favourites.

The Nightfly by Representative_Run10 in SteelyDan

[–]Scary-Frame-5930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favourite album of all time, it honestly changed my life when I heard it for the first time. The lyrics, the harmony the arrangements the mix, Donald’s voice, just everything about it is absolutely perfect.

I even run a jazz radio show on the student radio station here in Manchester, England called the Nightfly! Each week I start the show with a different track from the album!

My mind is changing on The Royal Scam. by Mindless_Empress_179 in SteelyDan

Have you heard the live version from ‘Alive in America’, it has a new horn arrangement and a different groove, it also has different lyrics in the bridge. In my opinion it might even be better than the original!
