DAN FAN HERE!!!!! Love Sign in Stranger's live version off the Live in America cd, it sounds a little more laid back than the fantastic original version. What I wouldn't do to be wealthy enough to follow them everywhere to every show.

This song is UNREAL live because it just provides so much room for instrumentation. You have guys bouncing solos off each other at the same time. Steely Dan is just mind blowing -- everything about them: musicality, arrangement, musicianship, intelligence, creativity, lyricism, complexity, etc etc. One of a kind.

Although I am a big fan of many artists, if I had to pick one band to be stranded on an island with it would be Steely Dan.

I was at this show, great show, Too bad Poplar creek was torn down.

One of my all-time favorites. But the horns overpower the guitar and the guy (not walt) keeps fidgeting with the pedals and looking back. The original studio version and the alive in America is just a little better

I am a zombie to this music.
