Steely Dan, Michael McDonald Bring Jazzy Yacht Rock to Jersey

Things picked up when Michael McDonald, who opened for Steely Dan with an icky run of Doobie Brothers and Motown covers, joined the group midway through their set. From "Show Biz Kids" to the classic rock radio staple "Peg," the crowd mustered up enough energy to groove in their seats and sing along to every word. For the encore, the Dan did two of their most nostalgic songs: "FM," about the days when Elvis ruled radio, and "My Old School." Only then did the die-hards get out of their chairs to dance in the aisles. For some, the show was no doubt the crowning event in an otherwise bleak Saturday night. For others, it was simply a prelude to the evening's main event: an opportunity to fritter away their life savings.
