April 24, 2000 –
In support of their first studio album after twenty years, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen appeared on an episode of The VH-1 series Storytellers, and spend an hour on the show, playing their songs, take requests from the audience, and in their typically cryptic fashion divulge some of the concepts behind their music.
The usually reclusive duo made a number of appearances in 2000, including a PBS In the Spotlight special, an outdoor street concert on Today and an appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman, Becker and Fagen discovered they actually enjoyed touring, erasing their early ’70s nightmares of the fledgling arena rock industry. Their ecstatic reception also eased Fagen’s stage fright and insecurities as a live performer.
