John Harrington was the best electric guitarist I've seen live since I saw Andy Fairweather-Lowe play with Roger Waters back in the day. He was spectacularly good, and managed to play all the fancy bits without ever coming off like a professional guitar masturbator (a common pitfall since guitar solos went out of style in the 90s).
Dude, I'll be seeing the Dan tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

What a fantastic band. Anything new out, or just touring?

Nothing new out, no. Fagen had a new solo album recently...

And now we must all listen to this. One of the best songs ever.

They did eventually go back to Annendale, y'know.
