Steely Dan- "Godwhacker" (1080p HD) Live in Canandaigua, NY on July 23, 2011

Recorded at Steely Dan's performance at the Canandaigua Musical Arts Center in Canandaigua, NY on July 23, 2011.

In the beginning
We could hang with the dude
But it's been too much of nothing
Of that stank attitude
Now they curse your name
And there's a bounty on your face
It's your own fault daddy
Godwhacker's on the case

We track your almighty ass thru seven heaven worlds
Me, Slinky Redfoot
And our trusty Angel-girls
And when the stars bleed out
That be the fever of the chase
You better get gone poppie
Godwhacker's on the case
Be very very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history

Climb up the glacier
Across bridges of light
We sniff you, Big Tiger
In the forest of the night
'Cause there's no escape
From the Rajahs of Erase
Better run run run
Godwhacker's on the case

Be very, very quiet
Clock everything you see
Little things might matter later
At the start of the end of history

Yes we are the Godwhackers
Who rip and chop and slice
For crimes beyond imagining
It's time to pay the price
You better step back son
Give the man some whacking space
You know this might get messy
GodWhacker's on the case

Let's see the girls sometimes too. Balance a bunch of chubby old guys with some feminine displays of beauty.

wow, donald just TOTALLY forgot the words to the last part hahahaha. its ok. theyre the best band ever so they can afford a slip up every now & then ;)

[ocdrumboy1]

thanks sooo much for these amazing quality videos! i missed this show this summer and have missed the dan every summer since they really came back full steam ahead touring the past 9 years or so.... its too bad i didnt at least catch em early in Keith Carlock tenure on the drum throne... cus yikes Donald is getting rougher every year :) and for god sakes why doesnt Walter just let Herrington take the solos and stop his constant noodling! but they created the beast and they can do whatever :)

[kell1reilly2]

he keeps forgetting the words...but thats ok. his 40 years of legendary talent kinda make up for it ;D

This is fantastic - TY for posting it! Amazing quality! One of my fave 21st C Dan pieces... a dark theme song for our "war on terror" years, and of course this song is such a showpiece for the horn section.
