Well we hope that you have enjoyed all of the Steely Dan/Donald Fagen shows in this summer's "Lurker Ray's Summer Sampler" and in honor of the start of the NYC Beacon run, here is the unreleased "Lunch With Gina Lasts Forever" from the 2003 tour and in a separate torrent, my last unreleased Fagen Solo tour show that also happens to be the last show of that tour. I am getting very busy again now that summer is over and I won't be posting any more of my shows until after the current tour, perhaps I will get some free time during Thanksgiving, but I make no promises. Much thanks goes to WombBoy & Buttmanos for their hard work in bringing you these shows.
STEELY DAN - LUNCH WITH GINA LASTS FOREVER
LIVE - UNIVERSAL AMPITHEATER HOLLYWOOD OCTOBER 1 & 2 2003
In the late summer of 2003 I started to date Gina. We met at Baja Fresh during our mutual lunch periods that my new corporate job at the time had luckily scheduled during the same times. These endless afternoons started on the day I met her. Gina was a very hot gal but she was always late. A real deal breaker for me, even with LA traffic and even if you are as hot as Gina. After 9/11 Universal had beefed up its security to nonsense levels where you got TSA-wanded before you entered or had to walk through a scanner, much like the Beacon in NYC still is today sadly. We figured that Gina's purse and the smallest device possible, the Sony MiniDisc was our best route. "So what time do you want to meet at Universal?", asked Gina. Oh no, I am not going to miss any of these shows especially after having the luxury of seeing 2 nights at Roseland sans Gina because she would have nothing to do with General Admission. Here are your tickets doll, meet me at the Steely Dan show, and PLEASE try and be on time, remember we are going to try and record these shows and YOU have the equipment. The first set (remember when they used to do that?) was just about over and I'm about to go postal when she waltzes in. "Sorry I'm late, traffic was a bitch". Yeah right. So we used the intermission to set up the mics and equipment. Second night? You guessed it, when will she get here? Maybe later, maybe never. Gina was late again. But hey after nearly 8 years of you not being able to hear these recordings of two kick ass shows, it was Gina after all who smuggled in the equipment for us.
Not many live recordings of Lunch With Gina out there and this one will kick your ass. The ULTRA rare dueling guitars of Dean Parks with Jon on one of my favorite versions of My Old School are just smokestack lightning. There were no special guests at Roseland and after nearly a month after the Roseland 2003 second leg gigs I think the band is much tighter and the shows were better executed at Universal. You can listen for yourselves. Because these recordings along with the soundboard from the complete 2nd night show (too bad we don't have the first night off the soundboard which for the first time is included here in its complete second set glory is just sick with Dean Parks!) are about as close as you are going to get to hearing what the two night stand at Roseland sounded like 8 years ago. The setlists for the two nights at Universal are exactly the same as Roseland. I had a blast at Roseland but there were too many drunken loud sing-a-longs for my money and that alone could be reason for the lack of Roseland shows recorded. Like I said the band had been out on this final leg for a while and were tight as shit. FM with Dean Parks is so frickin LA Cool again with another amazing back and forth with the "new" kid Jon Herington. And enjoy two crackling versions of Parker's Band and the two smoldering versions of the MIA this tour Don't Take Me Alive. That Jon Herington guy, yeah they might want to keep this guy.
If you can't come to NYC next week, then why not in the mean time enjoy my various recordings posted this summer of The Bear, Everything Must Go, Night By Night, Lunch With Gina, Your Gold Teeth, Parker's Band and Green Earrings and the final show of the Donald Fagen 2006 Solo Tour. Salud.
Enjoy!
