  • Could someone tell me what he's playing at the start of this video?? lol

  • I love... LOVE... Steely Dan... but this clip of Fagan is awful. So bad it makes me wish I hadn't seen it. :-\

  • Dave, awesome! I LOVE these guys(lindarogalskimcgettign)

  • As an example that I use in colleges and universities as to how "fairness" is often not prevalent in the material realm, I note the difference between an amazingly prolific and genius band like The Dan who has only sold in total 30 million albums world wide while Britney Spears does nearly that with one album. Thus, my example takes hold.

  • I keep watching SD videos!

  • Love the Dan thanks for posting

  • 23,000 views and only 70 likes? whassup widdat?

  • they are coming for 3 nights to Boston at the end of the month. Tickets are way out of my price range, heartbreaking.

  • I hereby nominate Donald for sainthood. His playing and singing are exemplary here. We all get older.

  • Its perfection and grace, its the smile on my face

  • The two that gave a "thumbs down" ought to be hung from an oak tree!

  • This is the best shizz ever. Thanks guys . Greek Theatre July 9 Im there.

  • @Bodhisattva57 Me to!! can't wait - see you there :)

  • it doesn't really get much better than steely dan.

  • whoever voted thumbs down is clueless to music

  • cool man, cool

  • Two Jewish geeks made this sick sound.

  • Did they make a video for this in 1981?

  • @kja427 Steely Dan has never made music videos for any of their songs, but Donald made videos for his songs "New Frountier" and "Tomorrow's Girls."

  • @drhey19 I see you didnt do your homework, Walter Becker and Donald Fagan made many videos, you dont even deserve to hear them!!!

  • @drhey19 They never made "studio videos" (ala MTv-like) but did do live stuff (Kirshner's "Rock Concert", "Midnight Special"). Brings back some memories.

  • An incredibly talented guy. Creating such a difficult and unique style of music. One of e greatest musicians of all times.

  • go get some, and i'll have a time out of mind with ya..

  • fave SD track . . . and that's not an easy feat to cop to

  • STEELY DAN 4EVER!!!

  • keep touring baby---AWESOME IN PHOENIX 2010

  • Watch as Freddie Washington is "feelin it". Smoooooth. :)

  • it's perfection and grace....it's the smile on my face.....genius!!!.....=)

  • Michael M. was actually a member of

    Steely Dan on the 1974 tour that supported the Pretzel Logic album. The last old school tour of the Dan. He appeared on this album and the next, Katy Lied, before moving on to the Doobies with ex-Dan virtuoso, Skunk Baxter.

  • People are complaining about DF's voice, but he is still kickin' emotionally. If Fagen and Becker never sing a note again, their legacy in pop music is like Mt. Everest. AJA has to be-- from this musician's stand-point--one of the most far-reaching, influential pop music recordings of the last 50 years.

  • WTF!

    This is no friggin pop music.

  • @dogofman Yeah, I know... I've been a professional jazz pianist and composer for 45 years... I used that categorization as a loose identifyer, because so many people can't quantify what the Dan does. Truth to tell, one can't characterize what these guys do. My friend, Jim Keltner, has intersting stories of the original session for Aja.

  • I don't know what these other "experts" are talking about; these guys are fantastic!

  • A bit pathetic!!!

  • @raggabass : You couldn't be more wrong... Dan was never "the norm for the day"... give me one single band that did what Dan did, I defy you!! And obsolete?? Wish that shit into the cornfield, dummy!! 99% of the musicians out there (particularly pop musicians) have yet to approach catching up to 'em. Devo was cute in a silly way, but the mighty Dan could play 'em under the table. They just might be over your head...

  • still sounds better than dylan.

  • he shure is older lookin' huh?

  • Love the band. Love Fagan. Love the tune. Saw this tour in Nashville. One of the best live shows of my life.

    But sorry, Fagan is out of tune on this performance and appears to be having vocal problems and the overall beat seems to drag. Anyone can have a bad night. Someone just decided to post this one.

  • LOL Re:The "critics" comments here ..

    This man has more talent in his pinkie than most people have in their entire body...

    Steely Dan is simply the best American band of all time.

  • if not Steely Dan then who? I'd say Frank Zappa.

  • @Twilk88 Yo Twilk88, They're great for sure, But I'm pretty fond of Bela fleck and the Flecktones, they are also great.

  • @bigwave1021 let me qualify that, I meant in a different style, But just as great an American band.

  • @Twilk88 Never have, nor will they (Fagen and Baxter) ever, get the credit they're due.

  • ...this is awesome, but I'd ask Micheal McDonald for backing vocals...

  • Fagen looks a little too much like a white Ray Charles visually

  • Fagen rocks. That is all.

  • Thank you

  • This is excellent quality. Thank you.

  • Yikes, his vox sound desperate. Let's hope he sucks a few lozenges before July 09, when they're due in the UK again.

  • drhey 19 thanks for posting this song. This has always been one of my favourtes. Love your comment about Donald, LOL.

  • One of the great bands of the 70's & 80's. For trivia's sake, look up how they got their name. Donald Fagan is great!

  • They were supposed to go through a series of names starting with names like Penis Whip and Leather Canary and settled with Steely Dan which was the name of a steam powered dildo in Naked Lunch.

    Google Steely Dan dictionary for more great stuff

  • Naked Lunch!

  • Great vid quality and audio. Awesome song.
