The Dukes of September: Live at Lincoln Center [Blu-ray]

I’m fond of the performers so I didn’t check playlists or reviews before purchasing and am happy to say that this was one of the best concert DVD’s I’ve ever gotten! Video is better than Blu-ray and cameramen could not have done a better job. All the vocals and instruments were perfectly leveled and sound overall was perfect!! And of course the performances and song selections were fantastic!! A mix of music that influenced them and their hits. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend to fans of any or all of the performers!

Michael McDonald and Steely Dan are always a good show. As usually the case, turn McDonald loose singing solo and he can get a little carried away with the ad lib.

Great artist

Top notch musicians playing their finest hits. Highly recommend!

I've seen the Dukes Live several times, having taken them in at various places over the years, Minneapolis, Aspen, and Chicago. They never disappoint because frankly, these three guys really ENJOY this format and being able to get outside of their personal bands and projects and just play with their friends and a killer set of musicians. If you've never seen Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, or Boz Scaggs live, you're in for an unbelievable treat, because this Blu-ray is like getting to see the high points of all three performers.The band is incredible, and their performances on this wonderful night at Lincoln Center are superb. Jon Herrington is an amazing guitarist, the horn section is world class, the bass is handled with aplomb by Freddie Washington, and the backup singers are incredible! Both Carolyn Leonhart and Monet Owens are at the top of their industry for their performance chops. Check out Monet on her duet with Boz for "Miss Sun." They've been doing this song together regularly for a good fifteen years, and it never gets stale.The lineup of songs that the Dukes cover is a Hall of Fame of seventies, eighties and more recent classics, including gems from all three performers careers. Highlights are many, but my favorite moments in the show are: I Keep Forgettin', Miss Sun, Love T.K.O., Peg, Lowdown, Takin' It To The Streets, and Pretzel Logic. The Dukes' cover of Them Changes and their cover of Who's That Lady would have made Steve Winwood and The Isley Brothers proud.This show gives me chills at times, and you will want to add this to your concert collection. Be prepared to be surprised by how good this is and how strong it is from start to finish. These guys are some of the finest singers and performers in the business, and you'll be glad you gave this a watch and a listen!

Great performances on all tracks. You must buy this if you are a fan of any of these 3 guys!!! The supporting band is outstanding, especially John Herington on Guitar, Freddie Washington on bass and Shannon Forrest on drums. I'm a drummer and I never heard of or seen this young man play drums. He did an excellent job. I think Donald said " and tonight from Memphis TN Shannon Forrest" during the band introduction. This gave me the impression that he was a "fill in" for the night or new on the tour. Either way keep an eye out for this guy on drums!!!! I have one issue. The video production was spot on. The audio was no way as good as it should have been. The balance between some of the instruments was poor. Sometimes some instruments were buried in the mix. It sounded like it was mixed "on the fly" The sound level of the bass was weak throughout the gig. That is the heartbeat of the recording...Freddie was playing his ass off and was barely in the mix. The overall sound needed EQ fine tuning. Sounded flat with little dynamics....You would think that the audio should be at least as good as then video was. Anyway, the performances were still a joy to watch. The sound is the major drawback of this production...Donald should have insisted that Roger Nichols or Elliot Scheiner or Al Schmit be at the mixing board during the performance and post production. Still worth buying, though

I buy a ton of music DVD's I play during parties and small get togethers. I got the disk with multi play options and love the DTS 5.1, very good surround sound mix (and I'm very picky). Admittedly I have disks I enjoy more, Black and White by Roy Orbison, and certainly Roger Waters The Wall. But this show is damn good and worth having in your collection! I don't agree with the M McDonald comments on his voice, that's how his voice has always been;) Yep, get it! 🎸

Excelente calidad de audio y video

Ótimo Bluray que comprei para minha coleção, esse show foi simplesmente demais. Curti do início ao fim.

Excellent quality audio and video. The sound is amazing. These legends shows you why they are on top of their game. Absolutely a gem of a concert and highly recommended 👌

Oldies but goldies. Varied repertoire and fantastic performance by the three gentlemen, especially Boz Scaggs.

Unfortunately for English fans this is the closest we'll get to seeing the 3 Dukes of September, unless you happen to be lucky enough to catch them on holiday in the States. I found out about this tour after reading Mr Fagen's worthwhile tome Eminent Hipsters (a short but interesting read) on holiday.Getting just one of these musicians to do a solo tour of England would be great America get all 3 sharing the stage. the music is a mixture of their own (or there associated bands) hits with a few soul songs added for good measure. There are some great performances: Kid Charlemagne, Lido Shuffle, Pretzel Logic to name but three. A strong band ably supports the Dukes and our 3 heroes show that although a little greyer the years haven't dimmed their abilities; in fact Mr Scaggs and Mr Fagen seemingly get better and better with age, is Donald actually enjoying this? you'll have to read the book to figure that out!All for the price of 2 booking fees from your not so friendly ticket supplier!Please come to Britain guys I am sure you could sell out a few notable concert halls Night by Night
