AUG. 30 STEELY DAN American rock band Steely Dan will bring its ’ 70s hits such as “Reelin’ in the Years,” “Rikki Don’ t Lose That Number,” “F.M.,” “Peg,” “Hey Nineteen” and “Deacon Blues” to Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on the campus of Oakland University at 7:30 p.m. Although original co-founder Walter Becker died in 2017, Jewish co-founder, lead sing- er and keyboardist Donald Fagen con- tinues to lead the band, although he told Rolling Stone that if it were up to him, he would call it “Donald Fagen and the Steely Dan Band.” Fun fact: Prior to starting Steely Dan, Becker and Fagen were in a band called the Leather Canaries with another guy named Cornelius Chase, who left the band soon after for a career in comedy.
