   Just got back home from a weekend in London and I really can't understand   
   what's wrong with the British Press....   
      
   They reported Live Earth from Wembley, the British Grand Prix from   
   Silverstone, the Wimbledon Tennis Grand Slam finals and the Tour de France   
   prologue race in London but failed to mention the epic gig by Steely Dan at   
   the Hammersmith Apollo.   
      
   The show was opened by the Sam Yahel Original Trio assisted by Michael   
   Leonhart and Walt Weiskopf on horns; Norwegian Wood was on their half hour   
   setlist and I'm sure the writer in the audience, Paul McCartney, enjoyed it   
   as much as we did.   
      
   The Heavy Rollers backing band took the stage at 9.00pm on the button and   
   opened the show with an instrumental number (Jeri?)  Donald, Walt, Carolyn   
   and Cindy then joined the band on stage, to the delight of the sellout   
   audience, and burst into 'Time out of Mind'.   
      
   The actual running order of the remaining songs is still a bit of a blur   
   (and I hadn't even lit up a doobie) but the setlist went something like:   
      
   Jeri?   
   Time Out Of Mind   
   Godwhacker   
   Bad Sneakers   
   Two Against Nature   
   Hey Nineteen   
   Haitian Divorce   
   Peg   
   Home At Last   
   Green Earrings   
   Dirty Work   
   Josie   
   Chain Lightning   
   Aja   
   FM   
      
   Encores:   
   Kid Charlemagne   
   My Old School   
      
   Don and Walt left the stage and the Heavy Rollers band closed with another   
   instrumental tune (Caroline?)   
      
   What a great night!  Walter Becker singing 'Haitian Divorce' was a   
   revelation, the Dirty Work arrangement with Cindy and Carolyn singing lead   
   vocals was excellent but the outstanding number of the night was Aja - Keith   
   Carlock rocks!!   
      
   Walter introduced the band during Josie and summed them up as the 'greatest   
   assembly of musicians that we've ever played with'.   
      
   On this showing, I have to agree with him!!
