I don't have a lot of time this morning, but just wanted to mention the fine outing Saturday night, Steely Dan at the Greek.  Excellent group of musicians (loved the horn section, drumming, and Jon Herington's lead guitar work).  Heard some complaints as we were filing out that they played too much "old stuff".  But others would have complained the exact opposite if they'd played more new stuff (and I wouldn't have been as entertained).

Highlight was probably "Black Friday", or maybe "Kid Charlemagne". 

Fagan's voice was a little rough, but hey, he's no spring chicken.  Not many of those in the crowd either.

Anyway, very enjoyable. 
Did they do anything from Walter Becker's new solo album?

They did a few songs I was unfamiliar with, one of which Becker sang, so maybe...

Saturday Bone Bash here I come. Last week I won tix on the BONE which (no surprise) ended up being lawn seats. I wasn't planning to go since the lawn just doesn't work for me and lo and behold, I received a call this afternoon telling me I was selected for a meet and greet with the Scorps and there'd be VIP passes for me. Bob is actually excited for once to go to a show. I hope I get to hang out afterwards for the show, somewhere other than the lawn. Details and pics after the show.

Bone Bash was better than I anticipated. The meet and greet passes were just that. No VIP treatment or seats so I ended up buying seats when we got there and figured it out. Started in 103 row O which is good but I helped myself into center section row DD which was awesome. Usher let me go down to the stage at the end of the Scorps set. Opening band was good. Scorps rocked and Sammy just tore it up. Mas tequila! He's GREAT. I hoped for some Montrose and my wish was granted.

I have some good pics of the Scorpions and some show pics. I'll get them posted soon. My avatar is a pic I took backstage.

I went Halloweening in the Castro as Frank Chu one year.  There were 7 or 8 others who did the same thing!
