[TopLeatherMan]

Thanks for the info. I didn't really know where it was from, just found it interesting. But since AJA is such a great album, it might be worth checking out.

Awesome! Was this just done as a special for "Peg" or do you have more clips available like this?

[TopLeatherMan]

There are many others like this. I know I saw one for BLACK COW. I just searched Google and other sites and found this. Since PEG has always been a particular favorite (particularly bass lines and McDonald back-up vocals), I thought I would post this.

"Until we got through 3 or 4...5 players"

"6. 6 players. 6 or 7."

"6,7,8 players".

This is really awsome. I am a big fan of THE DAN. I love the guitar voicings used by the guitarists on their albums.

[Mad Mike Jones]

[MrZambology]

Sorry again buddy, you're obviously not the enemy :)

[TheDensley7]

I apologise too mate. To be fair, I was asking for some abuse! Take care. :D

[MrZambology]

Chuck Rainey? Right you're OK I apologise for my rotweller comments, nobody that likes Steely Dan can be a cnut, Z.

[TheDensley7]

Jay Graydon? Beautiful slippery lines.

[MrZambology]

Rick Marrota? What a groove

[TheDensley7]

Everything about it is perfect.

I have the whole of this particular classic albums on VHS, yeah i know i should transfer to DVD. It was on late one night. One of the best things i ever recorded,these guys (Fagen & Becker) are my musical heroes. Whenever i listen to Peg, i can decipher everything what they both talk about in the above clip. Today's music is too reliant on computers.These guys had a talent and know how of how each musical element and vocal should be balanced in a song .
