Zac Brown Band Honors Walter Becker With Steely Dan Cover Debut In Hershey

The Zac Brown Band continued the Welcome Home Tour at HersheyPark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Sunday night. Earlier in the day, the news was revealed that Steely Dan co-founder Walter Becker had died. Brown and his band honored Becker by debuting a Steely Dan cover in Hershey.

The country-rockers fit “Reelin’ In The Years” into their 20-song main set. Brown and some of his mates started the cover with an a capella chorus and then the group played the main riff and worked through the chorus again before starting “Sweet Annie.” The ZBB’s set also featured covers of GN’R’s “Paradise City,” “The Eye” by Brandi Carlile, the Allman Brothers Band’s “Whipping Post,” Kings Of Leon’s “Use Somebody” and “It’s A Great Day To Be Alive” by Travis Tritt along with a career-spanning collection of originals.

Vocalist Caroline Jones was the band’s special guest in Hershey as she added to “Tomorrow Never Comes.” The ZBB said farewell to the fans at HersheyPark Stadium with a pair of covers, John Prine’s “All The Best” and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” connected by a guitar duet.
