Probably the less said about that the better.
The Dan has been the soundtrack of my married life, one of the few things I listened to regularly both then and now. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite track. Aja maybe.
The musicianship on most of their records is if anything too perfect, they were very fussy about sound and their albums are a great test of a record player (there were some rubbish CD transcriptions in the 80s though).
The encore at Wembley last week was a rollicking Reelin' in the Years. Elliott Randall, the guitarist who played the solo on the original studio recording, came on stage to join in. Videos have appeared on youtube...
The sound doesn't do it justice of course: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy1tlGIk3LU
Earlier, Steve Winwood came back on stage to sing lead on Pretzel Logic.
