Time Out of Mind - Steely Dan live! 12 August 2006. (3/18)

[marinman39]

Saw this same show, a few weeks before this in an old garbage dump 40 miles south of San Francisco. But between enjoying the vocals of Donald Fagan, the coolest hipster person who ever lived, that great Jon Harrington, that wonderful drummer Keith, etc, I also somehow fell in complete and ecstatic love with that searing backup singer-or really both backup singers. As one old enough to have had many amazing experiences, I have come to the conclusion it doesn't any better than this show.

Man, I remember hearing this very recently at the Fox, the shuffle diplomacy has started, I got my dose, but chase it while you can.

[northrify]

The more I listen the more I love Steely Dan. To a true SD fan there is no ONE favorite song.

[OndoreC77]

There is nothing wrong in this performance. Fagen's voice goes gutteral at all the right parts, the drum supports and emphasizes the music just as it should, the guitar and the flute-piano-I-forget-what-it's­-called, the piano, everything melds so perfectly together. Even the backup vocals, particularly in the last bridge/chorus McDonald's additions (if that's who they all are) are perfect. What an amazing concert.

@OndoreC77 ,,,,and the girls ,,,dont forget the girls,,,,

I freakin LOVE how Keith Carlock is hitting the floor tom in the 2nd prechorus (starting at 1:42) at the end of the phrases. Just awesome! It adds so much to that part IMO.

[JazzPurist]

They are King! I BOW AT THEIR FEET!!!

[jp0531801]

I love The DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[YYZDRUMR]

Musical Brilliance. Steely Dan is my drug of choice.

[JAB5625]

@YYZDRUMR I concur. F prozac or weed or whatever. Put the best of Steely in a kick ass stereo system and crank the hell out of it. Your mood will instantly improve...

[colorado5a2]

Steely Dan is my reason to live

[williamgauslow]

@colorado5a2 YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE

[7sevo7]

Great artist and timeless genius but donald's voice is not so good for this one.

[fredtronics]

@7sevo7 that raspyness in his voice in the chorus is a gift that improves w/ age.

[Sendmommy0524]

vettramr1 - Me too!! They were unbelievable (as usual)!

[Tashimotosan]

I would like to extend a personal invitation to this high order musical grace and genius to visit our sector of the galaxy again some time soon. Sigh :)

[coreyagraph]

genius..................

[rollo131]

Hey, I was at this show. Long live The Dan!

[blaster1985]

There's simply no end to their catalogue; great songs that stand the test of time. Actually sound better today!

[vettramr1]

These guys are off the hook. I saw them at Jones Beach NY. The best. This is music.

[raremountainbear]

Walter Becker is the shit. Smooth and effortless, his guitar work is just amazing. I've loved Steely Dan since I was a kid and it was playing on our trusty old stereo in the 70's.

[SamTaube]

I must know once and for all... what the fuck is that thing Donald is playing?

[SilentGunman]

It's called a melodica.

[jls12plaa]

Donald's is also has a pic up and a handle. Wow!

[Keyboardman88]

It a Hohnor Melodica. It's basically a harmonica that's controled by a keyboard. You blow into the mouthpiece and play the notes. They make several differet models.  Teh one he has is the most expensice model - but I don't know how much it is.

Go to Volvoxburger on You Tube and see a couple of his vids. He does a really nice job using one.

[Gumby0009]

Sweet perfection and grace

[RooFx]

[dnetsurfr]

[b6en]

Great music - 25+ years later and I still have no idea what it means but it sounds amazing.

[hdofu]

[MrBarryD]

[barbie50a]

[truck2112yes]

I really wish I had seen them in 2007...it was mostly done indoors...the sound quality was much better, according to what I have heard.

[doedoe1]

THE DAN OWNS ALL... They are BY FAR one of the LAST REAL bands of our time... Unspeakably Great Musicians Playing TOTALLY AMAZING and Original Music.... Nothing is better than this.....

[Chublin2249]
