Walter has very nice voice, and I'm surprised he didn't wind up the lead vocalist. (Don't get me wrong, Don's voice is the Dan.)

@drewper73 Dittos!!

@carlasthere Donald was sick that night. He had a bad cold; his voice was toast.

Walter=fail
-
awww its painful to listen to Walter sing Gaucho,please leave the singing to Dan and you stick to the songwriting.
-
walt wrote the damn song, he can sing it if he damn well wants...
-
Actually, after I finished listening to the rest of it, I'd have to say that if I saw them play this live, either one would do just fine. Nice job Walter!!
-
I have nothing against Becker's voice, but if I were to finally get to see them perform this song live, I would definitely prefer Fagen on vocals. One of my top five Dan songs without a doubt. The guitar solo at the end gets me every time.

@thefreshmusic Hahahahahaha I'm going to be laughing all day now!!! You seem genuinely hurt!!! :- D

I love Walter's versions of songs originally song by Donald Fagen!!! They're often totally unexpected but equally delicious when you get to know them!!! First time I heard him when I was expecting to hear Fagen singing Haitian Divorce I was pretty much horrified (yes, that's probably how I would describe my reaction) but then his style grew on me and his take on things are actually quite interesting and funny- he has a brilliantly dry sense of humour!!!

It's like when your old uncle sings at the family BBQ.

No yeah, I agree... If listening to the song at face value, it sounds like a sad song. Almost sentimental... I never pay attention to the lyrics when I first hear a song. If you listen to the song in this "on the surface" manner, certain lyrics stick out...
"Lord I know you're a special friend."
"I'll drop him near the freeway... Doesn't he have a home."
Becker and Fagan didn't want everyone to perceive it exactly the same anyway.
