The group's history is divided into three stages. The first stage of the group was as a conventional rock band that toured and recorded from 1972 to 1974; the second stage (1975–80) was as a purely studio-based act, still using the name Steely Dan, but now based solely around the songwriting team of Becker and Fagen, and using hired session players on their recordings; the third stage was Becker and Fagen's surprise return to recording and performing during the 1990s, with the band reconstituted as a large jazz-rock ensemble that both tours regularly and has released several acclaimed live and studio albums.
