Damn, this sounds exactly like the studio version on the Gold Expanded album. I've seen Steely Dan live six times and never got to hear this song. Thanks for posting!
Stirkdawg, as you probably know, that was Dennis Chambers. I'm not sure I'd say he was over the top with what he was doing. The studio recording has peaks and valleys for energy. Chambers actually resisted places where he might have put in some mighty big fills (during the Wadenius guitar).
If you kind find a copy of Steely Dan Gold cd, the credit is listed on it. I'm still trying to find the credit list for the Royal Scam. I know most just by listening, but Can't decide on You Did It. Carlton? Dean Parks maybe? Dean Parks on Here At The Western World.
drummer ruined this performance. It's not supposed to be an upbeat song. This is what happens when Fagen gets awesome session drummers that aren't 100% familiar with all of his works.
Ive seen em a bunch and iv nevr heard em play this one. Perhaps next time? A superb live version of my 3rd fave dan tune. Thanks for this rare gem!

I always loved this tune. Saw Steely Dan a few months ago- great show, but they didn't play this. Steve Khan's solo on the studio version is awesome.
