Saw Steely Dan in the seventies in Leeds,Yorkshire..still one of the best gigs i've ever been to and it's only a pity that this is cut short and Skunks amazing solo towards the end is not here.In my opinion he's one of the most original and brilliant guitarists ever!
@whatthehellvideos YouTube was created in Feb 05, so it was uploaded in the first four months. I am pretty sure that there were thousands of videos already uploaded by then, but I understand what you mean. This is the oldest upload date I have ever come accross. Good eye to catch it :)
True. Fagen and Becker decided to break the band up and use only session musicians. Dias did play on a few songs on SD's few album releases after this though.
Still great music, "A Decade of" is one of my favorite albums. Fagen & Becker wrote some great tunes. I don't know which one is playing Piano and singing, I think it is Donald Fagen, I think he looks like that magician that was so famous 20 years ago and married the supermodel. I was waiting for the piano to disappear. :)
@manstersr That's Fagen tickling the keys. You're thinking of David Copperfield married at one time to Claudia Schiffer, but he made her disappear. Fagen could be Copperfield ugly brother. Ha ha.
Ok fine. Its great. Truly. I don't know music but I get the sense that this shit is so much more than just rock and roll. I imagine its masterful musicianship and a crazy good blending of jazz. Here's my question. How do I get my friend to like it? She simply says "All their songs sound the same." I know she's missing it, but I can't explain it.
@kjk22956 i was there sat night 9/10 in the 3rd row and got the entire song on video under the scrutiny of the nazi security....maybe i should post my old school email me at ksd@email.com kevin
Skunk Baxter is now an authority on intercontinental ballistic missile systems and has been consulted by the government on defense and anti-terrorism.
great guys but in these days people must have wondered --what are these people singing about ,,as they still wonder today -what are they singing about .Anyone Know really?
@MultiShades His girlfriend dropped him off at the train station when he was going to college... the train was called the Wolverine, he was going to Anandale NY, (Donald Fagen and Walter Becker met at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, in 1967)... Soon after she dropped him off, she was in trouble with the law & her dad found out & he found out (when he was smoking)- she was suppose to be his hometown sweetheart, but she changed while he was gone. Bard = called "William & Mary" of NY
@jcrx69 mate! this is clearly the studio version. the horns section, the backing vocal , the lead vox all the studio, also the guitar, EVERYTHING! Its a great song. i dont care that its not live.
This is clearly the studio version of the song -- no live version -- and a music video meant to accompany. It's been so many years since I heard this song. It just arose in my mind as like commentary on a lifestyle shift i need to make, and it's just as i knew it way way way back then
I love this song. I still play it over and over again -- in 2011! Vintage Steely! Dias, Baxter and Becker all in one song. Fantastic. Too bad the picture is so grainy. Must be off a TV.
@robert140602 did you watch the video? Thats Baxter doing the solo work, Dias is in the tydyed poncho. He is also very talented but Baxter did the solo work on this one.
It's ok. The new slump's arrived. Soon everyone will be copying the 'Dan'. And time will be as harsh, self-centred and souless again. Sniff it up babies! Groovey!

Just for everyone's information... the man who is the magic behind Steely Dan's 6 Grammy Awards, Roger Nichols aka 'The Immortal', has been battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer and after many months in the hospital is destitute. If you can, please help Roger by going to his website rogernichols dot c o m and giving generously! Thanks. This is not spam!

If you can, please help Roger and his family by going to his website rogernichols dot c o m and giving generously! Thanks.
about once a month I change my mind as to which Steely Dan album is the best. No matter what the flavor of the month may be, they are ALL simply awesome. Nobody does it quite like Steely Dan.
Thank The Lord for Don! becker is just so pathetic, Don just keeps him on out of pity. They even have to hire a REAL guitarist so becker doesn’t look so damn lame. He’s such a mental midget and just look at him trying to play, oh my God, jerking around like a palsey, geeeezzzz. Thanks Don, for taking care of the little feller. What a nice guy.
Some of the best guitar solos ever on a Steely Dan recording in my humble view. Plays next to the bridge, up towards the fretboard, in the center, with just what it takes everywhere, and the guy has so much stuff to bounce off from the rest of the band that they must all have had a real ball!! Oh class class class......
@fripouille69 Absolutely right. The longer I go, the more I'm amazed at the truly masterful playing Skunk Baxter has done for over 40 years. Incredibly he was already a virtuoso of his instrument at age 23 when SD did "Can't Buy A Thrill". But like all truly great players, he is humble about his talent & deeply respects his instrument & the craft. He's spent his life studying, from music theory to countless techniques and styles, & still he studies. Above all it's practice, practice, practice.
@bradmonium1 Bard College at Annandale on Hudson, NY, busted a bunch of the kids for smoking pot, and they ended up "spending time with the working girls in the county jail". That so pissed off Becker and Fagan that they vowed never to "go back to Annandale". They throw in some other stuff just for interest, like Chino (state prison) and the gangster Daddy G.... "The Wolverine" : nickname of the train from NYC to Annandale on Hudson, although they probably just made that up too. (see Michigan)
I love the Skunk solo work on this tune...When I first heard Skunk's solos back in the 70's I couldn't believe my ears...never heard a guitarist this talented back in that era...Blew me away....and it still does today....He's a MASTER with a 10th degree Black Belt in Rock Guitar...
@cisco993623 yeah. He's a great guitarist. Denny Diaz is no slouch either. Both are so different, yet compliment each other so well. If you havent yet, check out "Do it again". Denny rips the solo in that one.
@NicFitNation If you like cowbell you might like this cover of a Talking Heads video: "Sound & Vision - WILD WILD LIFE cover ". More cowbell than should be allowed in any one song.
These guys certainly touch something in a lot of people globally......even they don't understand it I'm sure...but it sure is gr8.......keep 'em coming guys....
I spent 4 years at WIlliam and Mary...and this never got old...we knew it was just a good rhyme...but we didn't care, esp. with the annondale references....
What a strange video - some old show but it's the Czech TV which means it was broadcast after '93 for sure. And it seems being shot straight off a TV screen!
"She was singing and dancing and looking really boneable, which is pretty much what one looks for in a backup singer I guess. And by about a couple songs into the show I was totally sitting there thinking "I totally want to bone that backup singer." It was this kind of thinking that got me through those times in the show when Steely Dan decided to play a song I never heard before."
@flowerdrop1 To be fair, it's their own song they're miming! They're not some social-club covers-band selling themselves as live musicians. They're doing a favour for the TV station that's giving them some coverage. No musician or observant listener is fooled by their lack of being plugged in. Just roll with it.
@nduchene1 My comment was "over stating the obvious" I had all their albums, but I never envisioned them doing a staged track appearance. They sounded way to cool for that "Old School" stuff.

"She was singing and dancing and looking really boneable, which is pretty much what one looks for in a backup singer I guess. And by about a couple songs into the show I was totally sitting there thinking "I totally want to bone that backup singer." It was this kind of thinking that got me through those times in the show when Steely Dan decided to play a song I never heard before."
Google Dave Hill Steely Dan

when I heard the solo I realized they were lip-syncing. Great song though, and an incredibley inventive solo. These guys were 2cool4school!

@terrybeaton It's clear they could have pulled it off live. Stupid TV producers. No horns, hello?

@flowerdrop1 To be fair, it's their own song they're miming! They're not some social-club covers-band selling themselves as live musicians. They're doing a favour for the TV station that's giving them some coverage. No musician or observant listener is fooled by their lack of being plugged in. Just roll with it.

@jeflan74 they're lip-syncing, playing guitars that aren't plugged in, etc....

@jeflan74 If you look closely, none of the instruments are plugged in. Got to love the 70s and 80s.

@nduchene1 My comment was "over stating the obvious" I had all their albums, but I never envisioned them doing a staged track appearance. They sounded way to cool for that "Old School" stuff.

@jeflan74 oh. you silly person. this is not a so called "live performance". This is like a video, like playback, like.
