Last Night: Eagles and Steely Dan at the Toyota Center
There are few gig-goers who would describe the SSE Arena as their favourite venue but despite the lengthy queues, security checks by brusque staff and questionable acoustics, Donald Fagen's legendary outfit many of whom have been doing Steely Dan gigs for more than 10 years quickly had the ageing über-shed rocking.
