I have seen pictures of walter in the 1970's with steely dan and live photos from the 90's to 00's is there any photos of walter becker from the 1980's???????
I was! :-) lots fun ... hmmmm, I can't be sure, memory being what it is, but could have been I took that pic. If it's in the pictures for the 07 tour on sdarchive.com, then it is mine. I've seen another pic of the same stage scene, taken from the other wing. Don't know who took that one
[Edit -- ah ha! there it is, in the pics from the road link at http://sdarchive.com/tour07.html. We gave it the caption "Filly Soul" ar ar ar
Not the 1980's I know, but I wanted to post the pic of SD with the 'horse' on stage in 2007, Aintree, Liverpool. What a night that was ! Anyone else there ?
I now understand that there are images from W.B. available (a lot on hard drives) but "the giveaway is thin", also from co-browsers. How did that happen ? I can only guess why ... (p.s. I live in Europe and have never met Mr. Becker)
I think its great to see these behind the scenes pictures/vids of Walter and I don't think it does any harm at all. I've always felt Steely Dan were a real and down to earth band and it was all about the music and less about image etc.It all adds to the charm of this forum to my mind :-)
Thanks for reminding me... I looked through the pictures the other day at work, but didn't have a chance to watch the videos, so I went back and did that just now. I love getting these glimpses into Walter's personality. It's so easy for us fans to not really look at our favorite musicians as real people, you know?
speaking of pictures -- has anybody taken a look at the new slideshows? (#2 and 3 on the slideshow index; the first one has been online for a while). I had some doubts about posting them: home movies are home movies--- even if they're Walter Becker's :-) .
Mr. Becker reminds me of the time that I was a student at the art academy. But the impression he made (on many of us) in the decades that follow is still there. Not only through his music but also through his lyrics. As an icon of his age, a biography or even a film about his life would not look out of place. But maybe he didn't want that….
I was wondering.....is there a real biography about Mr. Walter Becker ? (and I don't mean books like "Major Dudes", "Reelin' in the years", etc.) Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hello pmd198 -- quite a few such pictures exist --a few on this website. I have a lot on hard drives somewhere. The giveaway is...THIN :-) and shorter hair, and close-cropped beard (and for brief periods, no beard at all!) Maybe when this music stuff runs out, I can get to some pictures ! In the meanime I hope some of your co-browsers will come across a few for you.
