   Sad about Walter Becker. I saw them around ten years ago and it was great. The majority of the concert was 'Aja" and "Gaucho" but they played a couple of early ones as well "Dirty Work' and "Black Friday" come to mind. Someone in the audience kept constantly yelling to Fagen play Rikki and he cracked it and yelled back "I am not playing Rikki" . So don't be disappointed if you don't hear "Rikki Don't Lose That Number". Didn't matter anyway, as I said above "They were great" loved it.
