Donald Fagen & the Nightflyers
For Eighties audio fetishists, Donald Fagen’s The Nightfly remains a desert island jam. The Steely Dan singer’s pristine solo debut recounted Camelot-era American optimism with fondness and disbelief. His video for “New Frontier” now resides in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection. Backed by four upstate New York musicians, this sans-Walter Becker outing draws heavily on the Dan and ringer covers like the Grateful Dead’s “Shakedown Street.”Sat., Sept. 2, 8pm -

Pump Project: We Were There
There's photography, and then there's … photography. Especially these days where everybody's got some kind of camera on hand and, like, seven Instagram accounts, it takes a person of magisterial skill and raptor eye to capture the world in ways worth paying attention to. Sandy Carson, frequent Chronicle contributor, is who we're talking about – and this exhibition features a decade's worth of the man's images of Austin concert crowds from 2007 to 2017, shot from the pit, exploring the symbiotic relationship between rock concert fans, the bands, and the photographer at music festivals.Through Sept 23. free. -
