(S. Victor Aaron: “Babylon Sisters” and “Third World Man” stand apart from the rest of the fare found on Goucho and perhaps they’re being the two songs representing for that album on Alive In America means that Becker and Fagen think so, too. But that doesn’t necessarily mean those songs come across the best in concert. As much as I love “Third World Man,” it plods already and even more so here. I’d imagine the urinals were crowded during this performance, though those folks would have missed Zingg and Erskine sparkle during the instrumental breaks.)
The Alive In America version, taken from the 1993 tour, features a reasonable facsimile by Drew Zingg and inspired drum work by Peter Erskine.
Overall, a solid but forgettable effort.
