tempo gets slower and slower throughout!

[huwgethynrichards]

Unbelievable performance of a fantastic track - very lovely ladies too! 2 for the price of one!

[mcheffey1976]

WALTER IS THE MAN!!

[woosailor]

Amazing song that I had not heard before. Incredible bari job....

Beautiful, cerebral, not mindless noise but outstanding

[rocketscientist2010]

I saw an informal survey that said sax players fall prey to the vices of life quicker than other musicians. Must be a commonly observed thing, otherwise Deacon Blues wouldn't have been written.

[peedeeismee]

PLISKEN12 - You really are a moron with obviously no education whatsoever; you probably have never even attempted to play a saxophone let alone study any in-depth pros & cons either medically or otherwise into the same; I however have been playing sax for almost 30 years without so much as a smidgen of ill health to which the sax vis-à-vis and playing of the same could be apportioned - "study the internet"? What sort of retaliation is that "believe nothing you hear & half what you see"

[peedeeismee]

What sort of fucking obtuse comment is that "sax is bad for the heart"??  You unequivocal tosser!

[Markgr122]

Wonderful Walter

[PLISKEN12]

how did he die? heart i bet, sax is bad for the heart, i think thats how grover washington died.

[panhead1219]

Explains Bill Clinton, too! :)

[Markgr122]

@PLISKEN12 -Yes,He passed away from a heart attack on a flight.

[PLISKEN12]

they never play the sax the same way as in the original recording.

[paxandrews]

@PLISKEN12

why would he want to!?

[PLISKEN12]

@PLISKEN12 because the original is awesome thats why !

[fivestring65]

One of my all time favorite Steely Dan tunes. The solos in this song stop me in my tracks every time.

[shhen1]

Oh, Carolyn....

[kgmessier]

Tasty, tasty, tasty Strat tone.

[karaokeduncan]

all is right with the world when steely dan does their thing

[thesquonkstear]

I miss Cornelius Bumpus.

[gardenvarietypenis]

such beautiful music and so spectacular in concert...but,  you pay such a premium for their ticket that i dubbed them, Steeling Hand. i suppose they're worth it when you compare them to the shit out there (like U2) with even higher prices.

[333tanx]

Steely Dan deserves to get paid.

[deebin4]

@gardenvarietypenis  true, their ticket prices are steep. Could it be the big payroll?

[littlequacka]

@deebin4 - but worth every penny.

[littlequacka]

@deebin4 - SD ticket prices are worth every penny. Where else can you go see quality like this.

[lacewoodstrat]

Terrific vid! The sax part was originally handled by the late, great, Cornelius Bumpus who just died a few years ago. He's on the Steely Dan's "Two Against Nature" DVD.

[Boogalooonetheone]

Yes! and Cornelius Bumpus (R.I.P) was a so great musician! He toured a lot with the Dan!

[Nachtovision]

I'd love to tour the south land in a traveling minstrel show...

[classichost]

I was at that show! Paid $10 bucks for a lawn seat! Went to go see them at the Durham Performing Arts Center in Durham which was the opening night of the Rent Party tour, those duckets were a little more expensise, $80, but that was five under face...unreal show..both shows

[awnplmigo]

Steely Dan are so excellent that they make us greedy: if only Donald Fagen is a confident singer! He always believes he can't sing, but, as it turns out, his voice fits the Dan songs so perfectly that nobody thinks they need any other singer. He didn't do this song as well as in the studio, yet the chords are beautiful enough to make it up.

[DowntownCanon]

Any idea which venue this was? I saw several shows on this tour.

[bellyup123]

This one was in Charlotte, NC

[ishredu]

ok but this version has NOTHING on the original..boy do i miss porcaro on this one

[modmusik]

Oh hey, Walt Weiskopf on tenor; another Buddy Rich alumnus.

[modmusik]

Geez, I remember seeing Roger in Buddy Rich's big band back in 1975. Boy, am I getting old.

[redhot916spd]

soulful and it takes me back

[KCVROCKS2008]

i notice a lot of the dan clips have great picture and sound-do some of you have connections w/ the band or something? lol

[Bianteowns]

Gr8 sax! this and reelin' in the years are the top! thk :D

[thosjlll]

thanks for posting great job!
