On December 19, as a part of their Toys for Tots Holiday Spectacular at Toad’s Place in New Haven, CT, Kung Fu delivered a special set comprised of Steely Dan’s fifth studio effort, 1976’s The Royal Scam. Throughout the set, the band was joined by guests such as Jon Herrington, Bernard Purdie, Jesse Gibbon, Rob Volo, Mark Coronado, Christine Tambakis and Nicole Zuratis.

The full show, including a first set of Kung Fu originals, is now available to listen via Archive.org. All proceeds from the show benefitted the Toys for Tots Foundation. Kung Fu returned to Toad’s the following night to close out the event with a set which featured an opening slot from Twiddle.
