WatchLast Thursday I went to the Steely Dan concert in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam. The concert was part of their Left Bank Holiday tour. I went with my brother who shot some Qik videos - like the one above of Aja. Dutch sax player Toon Roos and his quartet were their support act - I liked him a lot. Very nice sound.
