Steely Dan opened up a run at New York’s Beacon Theatre on Tuesday evening, offering a performance that featured a full rendition of their 1977 studio album, Aja, along with other classic tunes and even a surprise appearance from iconic singer-songwriter David Crosby.

Donald Fagen and company kicked off the night with all seven tracks from Aja and later fit in hits like “Kid Charlemagne” and “Dirty Work” before welcoming Crosby for a version of “Wooden Ships,” a song Crosby co-wrote with Paul Kantner and Stephen Stills. Later in the evening, Crosby returned to the stage to help with an encore run of “Reelin’ in the Years.”

Check out the full setlist below, along with an Instagram clip of the encore collaboration. Steely Dan continue their Beacon Theatre run tonight with a full-album performance of their 1976 effort, The Royal Scam.
