Hi all from Cyprus, I was a follower of Nearly Dan in the UK midlands area, in fact Rob you still owe me a pint of hammer head!! I always enjoyed your great Dan songs sung and played with true enthusiasm, I miss my days and nights out following you around with my mates, if you pick this is it is Jim from Fillongley miss you all..
Going to see Nearly Dan is a bit like meeting a cheap, hot looking brass on a Saturday night that does a good job of appearing sophisticated and glamourous. It`s enjoyable , you know it`s wrong and you always feel bad in the morning!
I was there too that night, I've seen both the Nearlies and the Reallys (that's Don & Walt, by the way) and Nearly Dan are, in some ways, more enjoyable to watch than the real thing. They put everything in to their performance, they aren't trying to play note for note, and it's just great to see The Dan's songs played with love and respect. And by the way, the Nealry Dan geezers have got the chops...
This tempo is too slow. The singer isn't very soulful and the horns are often rythmically incorrect and overpowering / badly mic-ed. It bums me out that this "Nearly Dan" band is the world's premier Steely Dan cover act. I've always dreamed of doing Steely Dan tunes (I'm a drummer) and now I see it's almost impossible to do well. These guys are good and still, they aren't anything like the real article.
I was at this gig. It was freezing cold that night. But Nearly Dan warmed us up. They were excellent. However the sound quality on this vid doesnt do them any justice at all!
great ive always wanted to go and see another band that plays sd songs ashame i live down under in aussie land these guys do a good job

Absolutely great Steely Dan cover band.
I have been Steely Dan fan for 30 years, so this is cool.
