Kid Charlemagne, Steely Dan cover by The Arbogast Band

[mikastu]

You guys got chops!! That was awesome!!! Nice guitar work!

[1Mejs]

One of the best Steely Dan covers!!

[daviemcf]

I take my hat off to any band who tries Steely Dan.....FANTASTIC!!

[IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE]

One word... 'FUCKIN' EPIC!'

[wendrummer]

@IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE  two words lol......

[baskruitnl]

Wow, that was great!

[sonkou4649]

Nice guitar plaing!

[kodiakfred140]

Give it up for these guys. Wow! Steely Dan is a hard band to "sound" similar to.

[Gggmanlives]

yeah the vocals are great but a bit soft. awesome cover though

[elambing]

the only thing is that i wish i could hear the amazing vocalist better! this is pretty much perfect from each performer

[lhesz07]

NICE!

[Audioquest56]

Best cover of "Kid" I heard yet.  Nice job.

[74LesPaul]

The lead vocal in this band gets it right. . much better than other tribute bands of the same. You guys really nail it!

[wiltner]

very solid performance. Spot on. Well done.

[killalltheyuppies]

Wow. Was just watching all sorts of Kid Charlemagne covers when I came across this one.

Good job guys, sounded great, way better than the others on youtube. You guys stuck to the original vocals too (the people changing it up ruined it) Great job.

[chasyboy1]

Much better than most so-called tribute bands...better time and feel. Great job, guys...thanks

[seith525]

Superbe interpretation,bons musiciens,ça fait vraiment plaisir!

Dommage de jouer dans un endroit ou les gens n'apprécient

pas tous.Very nice!!!Bonne continuation

[wildnites558]

Excellent Job. Awsome lead -- one of the toughest in the SD catalog to perform!

[arbogastband]

Many thanks.

[ga6strings]

That was great! nice job, guitar player was spot on!

[Theblob516]

Nice job, it's nice to hear the song end instead of just fade out..sounds a whole lot better.

[attributionerr]

great job gents!

[ajogg]

I love SD, great job on this cover.

[Stratman6969]

Congratulations you guys nailed it. Pretty much perfect, especially the guitar solo, but you all deserve praise for the mountain of rehearsal and dedication any Dan song must take. Den

[declanmaclogan]

Nicely done. You guys did a great job of being faithful to the original. You nailed the instrumental solo part - both the gtr solo and the underlying chord progression (a real tricky section - took a friend of mine an I hours to finally figure out the changes they were playing - still can't play them correctly everytime tho ;-)

Vocals sound really nice too.

You've earned a bit of the smooth retsina or some kirshwasser from a shell, if you ask me :-)

[tokaijazz]

well played cover, i could'nt get over the people walking around, who walks around when you've got a band like this playing? thanks

[arbogastband]

HA! It looks a little like we are playing in the Mall, dont it! This was an outdoor mini ampitheatre and it was a huge family event with lots of kids and vendors selling lots of food and stuff so there was a lot of foot traffic everywhere. There were a lot of folks in front of us too though. Thanks for the nice post.

[yomamadontdanz]

Very Good,wow!

[woodies22]

Very impressive! Not many can pull Steely Dan off. Great job, I'd love to see you guys play.

[plgplgplg]

This is my most played you tube vid. Great cover

[crazyb3fan]

There was a day I could play those solos note for note too. Really sweet playing! Larry Carlton is simply the best player ever!

[tooper734]

fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!

[Constas222]

really good vocals for steely dan

[dmacnic]

Awesome version!

Great job

[RMelancholy]

WOW - You guys rock! I just saw SD recently and boy, if they hadn't showed up and you guys took their spot - I wouldn't have been disappointed. Great job to each part done to perfection (definitely on my fav list)

[trucx88]

nice job...you don't cover this stuff unless you can do it justice...these guys pull it off nicely...

[docweasel2006]

Wow, respect. If you are going to try to pull off a Steely Dan song, have the decency to possess the chops to do it justice, and every member of this band does that. Browsing over other covers of this song, including by supposed pro bands like SGB, I'm pretty disgusted by the butchering of great material. These guys do an amazing job. I hope the people in that tent watching appreciated the talent they were witnessing. Props, guys, very nicely done.

[Super8888887]

Kick ass cover guys! Not many bands could pull this off. Great work!

[garsbaby]

Great Guitar Playing

[poopyloo6]

Without doubt the best Steely Dan cover I ever heard. Great band, great singer, great guitar player. I've heard the Dan play worse than this....often!

[joshua777ut]

ive been playing 30 years and almost perfect is high praise , even the original band probably couldnt do better :)

[johnnorvaisas]

Nice job!

[NewTownMO]

Hey, are you guys coming back to New Town this year? Would love to see you play again!

[arbogastband]

Yes we will, with a little luck. We had a great time there. What a cool place BUT check our schedule because we play l lot around the St Peters/St Charles area and most of the places are just a stones throw from New Town.

[ColmIncendinall]

Singer rules!

[joshua777ut]

~ apart from the drums dragging sometimes really good ps picked up at the end tho , best wishes. almost perfect !

[arbogastband]

SEE PREVIOUS COMMENT!!

[threefootphildo]

The drummer has a great feel for this one

[poopkid4]

I don't really know this song but it sounds so good.

[theregsband]

Wow this is incredible guys! The guitar solo is spot on as well as everything else! keep up the good work.

[tomkesler11]

Singer looks like billy gibbons

[Ant3869]

lol, agreed.

[arbogastband]

He is Billy Gibbons.

[duckoes]

fan FUCKING tastic

[sdbruns]

Wow, they tore this one up!

[dell1111111111]

oh excellent, Im a fan of the band now.. thanks... really enjoyed it... it was 1976 again for a minute...

[AlyssaRocket]

The guy on the strat kicked some serious ass on that song!Great Job!Any major dude will tell ya!

[mtx1986]

my dad loved it ...

[Flap999]

Fagin and Becker would be proud guys. Nice work!

[AVDPA]

Oh yes!!!!!!! Check out my Steely Dan cover!!!

[logosthedestroyer]

Gorgeous sound guys.. nice one

[appzman]

Great effort chaps although the general feel is rather "Straight", its needs more "Funk"!, work more on the HiHat and bass, Nice Rhodes and Guitar BTW

[ackerlaw2004]

Damn impressive.  5 star effort and results.

[pretzellogic91]

yeah, this is one hell of a cover. good job.

[hudsonregular]

LOVED IT...WOW...

Loved the whole commitment this took to do it justice...very nicely preformed.

Sung, played and anchored impeccably. You can play this clip and concentrate on each different instrument...the voice, the guitar, the drums, the base...SPECTACULAR COVER !!!!!!!!!
