Beautifuuuuuuuuuuuul !!!!

[stephenvincent]

could that be Rick Marotta on drums???

[MrHopeTelevision]

@stephenvincent according to the liner notes its bernard purdie

[jwkorver]

@MrHopeTelevision Most definitely Purdie. Listen to the drive, distinctive groove and especially the signature hihat action. Psst-psst. This is as good as it gets.

You should have more views than this! This needs to be heard by all Dan fans! It is simply amazing!!!! Mr. Hope TV, you need to put something in the description or add some tags, like "outtakes", "rehearsals", "royal scam sessions", or anything that will grab more Steely Dan freaks like myself.

[ncmtman]

This is definitely the take they used for the final, trimmed down release on Royal Scam, as I surely recognize Benard Purdie's fantastic drumming. It is nice to hear this "bare" version minus the vocals and lead guitar. What a shame that Donald and Walter did not use this long take on the album, instead trimming it down to about 4 minutes. These guys were surely jamming! Too bad they didn't add a nice sax solo or something during the last unused 3 minutes.

GREAT for karaoke!

OMG, talk about MONSTER groove playing! Grolnick on clavinet owns the left channel. Love the extra walk-up and fills in the vamp-out.

[analoghalfinch]

@analoghalfinch Green Earrings has always been among my fave SD tunes, but let's face it.... the Royal Scam is amazing throughout. This type of rhythm section feel cannot be manufactured/generated using DAW editing techniques. Awesome musicianship!

[lagoamemo]

Who´s playing that stuff? Veeeeeery good.

[MrHopeTelevision]

@lagoamemo Its the original song without the lyrics and lead song.. drums bernard purdie, bass chuck rainey, guitar dean parks, clavinet donald fagen, keyboards don grolnick, (missing: solo by denny dias, and elliot randall) and horns

[lagoamemo]

@MrHopeTelevision :

Mr Hope my man...this is gold. Great post.

[MrHopeTelevision]

@MrHopeTelevision oops, grolnick on clavinet apparently

[fugueoflife]

Hell yeah, this is what it's about!
