Steely Dan- "Dirty Work" (1080p HD) Live in Canandaigua, NY on July 23, 2011

[915buck]

Sorry some songs should not be covered by a female vocal.....it will never work, never!!! It would be like a male sing RESPECT by A,F.......won't work,,,,,never!!!

[AyrBlues]

comes no where near the original - not even in tune from what I can hear......horrible version.

[eakeeboi]

Hey!... what's up on carolyn?...

[Nacho66]

Love this arrangement!

[HalfLifeAMD]

hahaha..fagen figured he couldn't sing this song back in 1974 and i guess he still feels that way now..tried to pawn off the job on the female singers..they can sing but it doesnt work the same as when palmer sung it..

[renoraider2]

fucking amazing. i would give anything to see these guys.

[WreckinballRick]

Man, i was SO dissappointed when the chicks started singing this. I really wanted to hear it with the original feeling.

[tarp11z]

Thank you, I checked myself at the door. I'll keep the original. :)

[jmillzz2]

If you don't regard this as a superior arrangement you need to check yourself.

[AyrBlues]

@jmillzz2 you got cloth ears my friend, it's crap!

[Pappahobo]

Nice gift for my eyes and my ears. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful arrangements. Didn't you have any problem standing with a tripod in the middle of the concert?

[perrybrogers]

man! that was beautiful

[jamesBassMan81]

Nice band and the song sounds good to.

[theothertroll]

Carolyn and Vickie Cave worked best with SD live - Carolyn is good, but not as soulful as Vickie.

[MultiShades]

girls can't do the Dan

[drewper73]

Carolyn Leonhart just keeps getting better and better looking. Her brother Michael has played trumpet with Steely Dan since the Two Against Nature album. I can't tell if that's him on this video.  Great song! Thanks for posting.

[kaylakayj545101]

I love the horns

[68beanbag]

AMAZING VOICES ALL 3 WOWED

[veganchefcc]

What a great venue to see them!( my personal favourite) Lucky you! I grew up in upstate new york and finger lakes region is so beautiful. I saw Steely Dan this past summer here in Toronto in an outdoor venue. Smoked some amazing grass and closed my eyes and let the music take me back... Nothing like this..thx for posting..

[hexodus00]

1st time I hear the ladies really nailing it. It's been good, but this time none of them overdid it. This is such a subtle song it needs that from the vocals as well. Thanks for posting!

[legend619mufc]

the gorgeous Carolyn Leonhart on lead vocals ,foolwing in the footsteps of the origianlDavid Palmer.Bothe excellent.Great song

[fedtho]

GORGEOUS performance, THANK YOU SO MUCH for capturing and posting this.

[hjenkinz]

that's a big kitchen

[crizzy71]

Fagen is barking up the right tree with that Fender Rhodes.

[bsheridan1000]

Does anyone know anything there is no Palmer here its the band they are letting the girls sing

[eakeeboi]

May i request the lyrics of this song?

_ and what are the names of three angels?

[RTMorasonMD2]

@eakeeboi The Embassy Brats are (left to right): Carolyn Leonhart-Escoffery, Cindy Mizelle and Catherine Russell.

[eakeeboi]

Who are those 3 back-up singers anyway?... nice voices.

[kthin36105997]

in the 2006 version,Walter Becker did a long solo intro:what's happened here?

[burritomaker]

Oh,Carol!

[steelychas]

the angles sing it great



[angefox1]

who was the original singer? He had such a gorgeous voice. Nothing else comes up to the quality. I find this one disappointing.

[RTMorasonMD2]

@angefox1 David Palmer did the original vocal which was excellent, I agree. I think having a woman singing these lyrics is a nice change up for the song, given it's story. And these women sounded just beautiful.

[DDRaHolic]

@RTMorasonMD2 You said it! This is the perfect touch this song needed! And I love the way Jon Herrington picks the riff here! 

[Tmoore926]

@RTMorasonMD2

Correction! Robert Palmer (Addicted to Love, Sneaking Sally in the Alley) did the original vocals.

[RTMorasonMD2]

@Tmoore926 I'm definitely a fan of the late, great Robert Palmer. But I'm pretty certain it is the lesser-known David Palmer who sang on this track.

[CFMD28]

@RTMorasonMD2 You are correct Sir!

[Markgr122]

@RTMorasonMD2 -absolutely right.

[Winterstick549]

@RTMorasonMD2 LMFAO!!!!!

[scottberk55]

@Tmoore926 I remember reading that D Fagen regretting severely the decision in letting him sing the lead. Thought that his voice wasn't right for this tune...Go figure huh?

[Logoned]

@angefox1 Not only that, she missed several notes on the vocal intro

[jmspiro]

@angefox1 David Palmer. I'm afraid I must absolutely, utterly, deeply & wholly question your taste. This arrangement where DF takes a vocal break and gives Flex (& co.) the chance to shine gets better and better.

[vinstrumentals]

the ladies sing sooooo sweet!!

[jbolio888]

What's the difference what Donald Fagen looks like mckenziejul? That's the big problem with music today, it's all about image. Great musicians like Fagan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell would never get a chance in 2011 because they don't look like Katy Perry.

[tragalen]

Cindy Mizelle rocking the Steely Dan Brats

[kpl1228]

I usually never like it when older stars who I paid to see take a long break and let the younger session players grab the spotlight for extended periods, but god it's works so perfect here---and I LOVE this arrangement (the changes before the first verse are awesome). This would really work as an instrumental with a jazz trio, for example. And they look WAY better than Donald Fagen!

[johnni37]

Great job RT. Better than most 'professional' videos. Just saw them last night and what a performance it was. True musicianship.

[mrmusiccritic1]

Great new version of an old SD song. WOW!

[MisterIanPickering]

The Steely Dan bitches

[nefferteri2]

I saw Steeley Dan perform live @ GMAC in Canadaigua, NY in 2008. It was a awesome performance, just like this one. I have been a Steeley Dan fan for over 30 yrs and they are "steel" kicking strong.

[pegiz55]

Awesome footage...thanks so much for sharing! xxooxx

[mckenziejul]

LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Thanks for posting

[krblizzard]

Love this!

[EquanAMOS]

nice!



[joond1]

This was the best performance if the night in Atlanta, too. Although, I think they ended up giving the whole solo to the girl all the way on the right. Great rendition.

[chi4you2]

Saw them at tanglewood. Great video! My favorite of the night too.

[SteelyDon1]

The show was great, much like your camera work! Thanks for the souvenir of that night!!

[tomwms]

This version get better each tour. Thanks for posting.

[bigfootdean1]

Another great vid from this concert. Thanks so much.

[RTMorasonMD2]

@bigfootdean1 Thanks! This was my favorite performance of the night. Love this song.
