Donald Fagen: "We can't wait to visit Liverpool again, ...

... with it’s very special place in pop and rock history, it’s one of those cities that always mean that little bit extra to all musicians.”

A quote from two different articles; one from the U.K. music magzine Uncut and one from The Liverpool Echo. It's all about the Livepool gig, and I used the quote here to focus on the fact that Donald and Walter must be "mentally prepared" for the European gigs regardless of the fact that no dates have been confirmed on the official steelydan.com page.

Just to clarify things: Steely Dan never played Liverpool before. The scheduled date back in 1974 was cancelled. But that doesn't mean Donald and Walter didn't take the time to visit the hometown of The Beatles and various other Liverpool groups.

UPDATE March 16: The following European dates now officially on steelydan.com!

Jul 05 - NIA - Birmingham UK
Jul 06 - Aintree Pavilion, Liverpool, UK
Jul 07 - Hammersmith Apollo - London UK
Jul 10 - Le Grand Rex - Paris France
Jul 15 - Zitadelle - Berlin Germany
Jul 19 - Molde Jazz Festival - Molde Norway
Jul 24 - Stadtpark - Hamburg Germany
Jul 25 - Museumplatz - Bonn Germany
