Steely Dan Live: Heavy Rollers roll on
One of the best bands I’ve ever seen playing live is currently doing casino dates in the US. Twelve May to June dates have been added to the ‘Heavy Rollers’ tour, from New Orleans to Niagara Falls, NY. The Dan’s website has always been slick, funny and useful, and now, having signed up for the e-newsletter, I also get the customer service I’d expect from a slick corporation but which is sadly not only absent from those but also otherwise unheard of in what has been described as the music industry. Pity most of us won’t get to see any of the shows. This, from the ‘Concert info and advice’ section of newsletter #30:Rumor Control
Here’s something that your cousin at the venue
or your brother-in-law at the promoters
or even your “high-level contact with the band”
apparently doesn’t know:
Shows can be routed,
dates can be held,
schedules can be circulated,
...all before a gig is confirmed.
Please don't schedule your vacation around a rumor!
And please do not assume a show is confirmed
until and unless it is announced on steelydan.com
