The atmosphere of a Steely Dan show in the mid-90s was less about rock-and-roll sweat and more about the surgical application of groove. Alive in America captures this perfectly, presenting a band that sounds like they have been rehearsing in a vacuum for a decade. It is the sound of high-end audio equipment being pushed to its limits, where every snare hit and horn swell is placed with the precision of a diamond cutter.
