  • Why does Fagen allow Becker to ruin everything with his guitar playing when Herrington (I believe his name is), could totally be 199 times better? Please do not respond to this post, as I've noticed there's simply just 99% group think out there with absolute no born pitch, and mostly dead ear syndrome. So Bottom line Long Live Donald Fagen.

  • This song is great, you dont need no heroin to enjoy it!!

    RICHARD

  • @mollyisawesome2 Agree!

  • Someone please upload the studio version of this! No sweeter tracks! And keep posting, as those powers keep killing pure beauty!

  • 'Tonight when I chase the dragon...'= tonight when I smoke Heroin.

  • Thank you very much, mr. Mark Knopfler... :-D

  • How many Grammys did Devo win in 2001?? For Steely Dan I think it was 4 including best album.

  • I love S D but the sound hear is like one of those little old time transistor radios !

  • he is totally like stevie wonder they should do something together

  • Wonderful performance, hi-fi recording, steady & non-distracting camera work. Thank you for posting.

  • DAYum, I LVOE this live performance of this song

  • I see them last night in Belgium

    Steely Dan , it's fantastic !

  • Saw this at the Durham show last night, and my Dad and I went crazy. Great song-took me back to when I was 8, going through my Dad's records.

  • perfection & grace, silver will turn to gold, even platinum. enuf about that activity...it's the genius style, lyrics from one hell of a head , I mean mind!!! What a blessing to our ears, minds, hearts, souls- etc. with each & evry word & note from Steely Dan...Thx guyz

  • the BEST!

  • You're right- it is about smoking heroin! It was popular with squeamish druggies who didn't want to stick a needle in their arm (me)...

  • the deal here is we have fagen and becker, just as we had bacharach and david, and as well john and taupin. it goes back to the gershwins - great music from teams.

  • It is a reference to smoking heroin. When you burn it (especially the old way on aluminum foil) the smoke comes up in the air like a dragon. And here's a little musical Dan trivia for you guys: on the original track on the album (Gaucho) the guitar is played by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BAND AS GOOD AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL BE

  • You are sooo right! Every chance I get I say that Steely Dan is THE BEST BAND EVER END OF STORY!!!

  • Isnt this about being drunk??

  • Heroine

  • destructive hero?

  • @jay64stang Chase the dragon = consume heroin by smoking it.

  • @tiluriso Technically it means preparing the heroin by lighting it, not consuming it.

  • @ThaaWhiteShadow Really? Please explain/describe the analogy.

  • @tiluriso Cause when you light the heroin on tin foil it wriggles around and looks like a chinese dragon

  • I was in this tour, in August in Oslo, Norway!! They opened the concert with this one!!

  • The Dan at their funky best. That riff just defines "cool."

  • Haha no way i was thinkin the same exact thing this song is the essence of cool and smooth

  • Yeah, billa, I used the intro to "Time Out Of Mind" on my very first phone answering machine back in the early '80s. I was so set on raising the musical IQ of everyone who dialed that number. The other Dan song that really oozes cool for me is "Chain Lightning" off the "Katy Lied" LP. Only Becker and Fagen could write a "cool" song about Hitler.

  • Ive seen the Dan 5 times so far...and Im seeing them 2 twice again this summer! Simply the best band ever!

  • thank you for not plugging into the house audio,amazing!live sound cant be put on dvd.I like when a concert sounds like one

  • Quite simply The Greatest Gig EVER!Perfection and Grace!

  • LOve this Jam-----

  • Totally agree with Holygasoline

  • Comment removed

  • you have really no idea haven't you :)

  • "It's perfection and grace..."

  • One of my favorites. Whoever made this, thanks.

  • Too bad the melodica is out of tune. Still...I'm glad it's here. Thanks for posting.

  • There is no better band than the Dan....
