I Got The News - Steely Dan live! 12 August 2006. (5/18)

[levanyzzuf]

I love the way Walter always bobbles around like a drunk while playing.

[kevinherbert]

Taxi...taxiiiiiiiiiiiii..helll­ooooo

[theothertroll]

Sorry, but Fagan's dragging those vocal lines out WAY TOO FAR - sounds bad - only dodges being a travesty 'cause he CAN stay near in tune.

[GaryLeventhal]

@theothertroll

I would agree with him dragging out the vocals a bit, But in the grand scheme, Its still a great song played very very well.

[rgiblin6]

The dan tearing it ip as usual

[GaryLeventhal]

While most of us seem to awe at the great guitarists whom come and go with the band I tend to forget how great Walter is and this one is a prime example.

Walter if your listing lets do lunch.

[logansGT]

I know I know, this is heresy but.....I enjoy SD much more if I don't look at Fagen :o)

[GaryLeventhal]

@logansGT

I believe those are dissident cords ? Maybe I'm thinking of another. Ya Gold teeth 2

[recalcitrist1]

@GaryLeventhal What's a 'dissident cord?' Is that anything like a discordant rope?.....or is it an unorthodox pile of wood that's been cut for burning?

[GaryLeventhal]

@recalcitrist1

I'm the wrong person to ask about technical music info, but my best answer is " a cord with a intentional mistake or drop note. I believe its has to do with dropping one of the triads down 1/2 step to create a dissident sound. what sounds like a mistake but not. Very few musicians can use them properly. SD is certainly one of them. and this song a prime example.

[tyleryesta1]

great piano riffs in the beginning. Had to snag that one. 

[ipykipyk]

Best arrangement EVER of this song! Love the groove!

[OndoreC77]

Love Becker's solo(s?) here.

Oh, and I think DestroyerX61 was reffering to the beard, not the ability to try and cash in on a once-great series and end up generally dumping it in the gutter.

[jp0531801]

This song was never a real hit, but its always a favorite of mine from Aja.

[JoshGold34]

Gr8 version...thanx

[colorado5a2]

Everyone loves Miss Forehead!

[DestroyerX61]

Walter Becker is the George Lucas of guitarists

[JoshGold34]

@DestroyerX61 : what..please explain..I'm fascinated.

[hoopsmccann605]

I imagine Don Fagen sitting in his NYC apartment most of the year, drizzling and cold outside, dreaming of the times he can do an extended Rhodes solo like the one at the end of this song. Nice noodling from WB too. I LOVE THIS!!

[EmperorAckbar]

man this is like the epytomy of music. It does not get better. only worse

[39redhead]

Carolyn Leonhart is so hot.

[dnumgeis]

The best session musicians ever assembled in one outrageous show ever performed in NC! They all did their part perfectly including the one & only Mike Mac!

[finnbjerke]

guitar solo could be better everything else is bloody perfect

[pichipachu]

Whoa... really enjoyed this track!

[truck2112yes]

This brings back a good memory...saw them a month before this show just outside of Nashville at The Starwood Amphitheater...had a blast.

[jrmrinaz]

Its all about the drums in this one,,,,,sounded just this good live in phoenix in 2009,,,,,,,,I was really impressed with Herington also

[showboatingbastard]

the Dan really rocks dude! If you don't agree with that opinion, may I just say, you're a douche bag, like, dood...

[showboatingbastard]

their one true jazz groove......

[lonaticc]

Great quality recording. I'd love to have this on DVD. How do you get a copy??? Thanx 4 posting!

[carlospc]

I got this from The Trader's Den (google it).

I would LOVE that The Dan publish this officialy. But I guess there are licensing problems or something.

So... enjoy it here at no cost.

[NowBattingNumberTen]

[jimmycdallas]

[eojoeg]

Steely Rocks. Listen to them every day as Im setting up schedules for the next days work. Turn it up full blast. Cant get enough!!! you tube vids are awsome. thanks to all.

The donald rocks and sways because he cant help it ,heck I cant sit still myself. got to go TURN IT UP!!!!

[Cracko90]

I took your advice and turned it up. Life improved markedly.

S/ D has been amazing me since my first cassette. A rock and roll idjiot, I had never heard anything like Peg or Aja. And they are truly great compositions cause they are as interesting to me today as they were 34 years ago. One of the truly great things about living in our age.

Steely Dan.

Looks like they are in Europe for the beginning of 2009.

[webmonkeymon]

eojoeg  you are the most insane steely fan. what is wrong with you?

[palmmgt]

Walter riiiiiiiipping it! WTF! He ate his Wheaties that morning.

The whole thing is massive, Jeff Young, the backup singers-- (thanks again Carlos).

[gnukev]

This song is very cool. Does anyone find the lyrics to this song "Gay Themed"?

[b4nt2k]

I think the narrator is falling in love with a lesbian

[thesquonkstear]

Hahaha.. both of you, try again.

[b4nt2k]

idk man... your soulful secret...

i don't think they could make it any more obvious that spanish kissing means cunnilingus

[TShane0423]

then what do you think its talking about?

[VodeoJMC63]

donald tends to bob back and forth at the keyboard like ray charles or stevie wonder! great song though!

[MMMuller]

KJEITH CARLOCK

[igy2008]

[Chublin2249]

Never question Carlos.

[maxdrum123]
