@shyman99 Mmm, yes, because anything different is, by definition, bad. Of course.

Really, live performance is the only opportunity artists have to revisit old material, change it up, explore new avenues, whatever. And considering their continuing talent and genius I think Fagen and Becker have a right to have fun with their own materiel

And, as always, if you don't like the song, leaving it all behind is just a click away. (And if variation ain't your thang, concerts probably won't be either)

I live in a rural outback far from everything. And this is exacly the kind of shit I want.

Wonderful live versions of the really good stuff.

This stinky dirt tub dog wants much more of this kind of tasty stuff.

Hey, I was there that night.

[sixfoursoul1]

Wow! Great improv! How can you people not like this??? Amazing!!!!!

@dadunham Thats the beauty of this band. They broke all the rules back when as song writing goes. The mixed Jazz, Blues, Rock & some other stuff I forgot. They can do a jazz arrangement (like they're doing here), & it loses very little. These guys are very complex as you well know and that's why song writers couldn't work with them years ago. They were far ahead of the game.

@dadunham Great post a little funky beat goin on...

[KelsoNfun]

to all those hating on this live version...i'd like to see you write a song this good and play for thousands of people everynight. I just saw them last night and wouldn't you know they kicked major ass. As a musician myself i can tell you that playing the exact same shit everytime gets stale when you have all these ideas floating around in your head.
