That piano intro!!! 💕💕

Where's the organ player?

Unsaved.

this is so good

Todd is a great M.C. for his shows!

been loving Steely Dan and Donald since I first heard his music at 15...back in 1980

Fagen's tunes will last.

Fagen is singing with Carolyn Leonhart. That's her father Jay playing bass. I'm sorry I don't know the guitar player.

DF doesn't have a great voice in the classical sense, but they made the most of it through the layered vocals, backup vocals, overall production and recording process, particularly in the now classic studio recordings. While I like the sound of the songs that David Palmer did lead vocals on CBAT, Fagen's vocals became, and still are, the essential element of the Steely Dan sound. The songs just aren't the same without DF's vocals. And that is all on top of being a bona fide musical genius with unsurpassed talent when it comes to songwriting, composition, arrangements, etc.

The girl was going for "when the cold wind comes" but Donald skipped the intro, hey, he wrote it😂

This man is unreal . All i have to say is Aja .

Love this❣️👍🌟

Well deserved award Donald.Awesome vocalist , songwriter, keyboardist.

Jazz purists: we should boycott Donald Fagen’s induction into the jazz hall of fame! Jazz purists: what? Only a fool would say that.

By Donald’s standards this was a mess. It’s also brilliant. Discuss.

It is so nice to see the late Jesse Gress letting his hair down with Todd...

Back to his Jerry Lewis era of singing! But man, I love Fagen. Everything he does is fantastic...including this.

Donald, you're a blessing to this world. I'm now going to drink some scotch whisky while steering the wheel. I'll try to stay alive. Cheers!

年老いた感あるけど、なんとか養生して100歳までやってもらいたい！

He was put here for a purpose and this is it. I was a 17 year old high school senior, straight ahead rock fan until I bought Can’t Buy a Thrill in ‘73, i have to admit strictly on the basis of the cover art. Whatever. Anyway as I got into this I heard totally unfamiliar chords and phrasing in a sort of rock like song. Those chords my god those chords, they struck right through me and added such a level of pleasant complexity. It was perfect, exactly what I’d been looking for but didn’t know I was looking for anything. 20 or so years later they started touring again, I went to the concert in The Woodlands. As we were getting to our seats the audio system started playing loud, and THOSE CHORDS!!! Shit! Then Larry Carlton’s chording on some song, I don’t remember which but I do still recall to this day the awesome power behind the it and loud as heck, to hear those sweet complex chords played in an outside amphitheater setting, well I had to choke back tears for 15 minutes. That’s how grateful I am to have experienced Becker/Fagen in my age of enlightenment. To this day, 50 years after the first album, when I play an SD album or song I have to stop whatever I am doing so I can close my eyes and give it the attention it deserves, in my case that means all of my attention. Thank God for SD and Becker/Fagen. Sorry for writing a book I couldn’t help it.

THIS IS A MASTER CLASS OF JAZZ & ROCK IT DON'T GET MUCK BETTER THAN "STELLY DAN"

💥💥💥BOOM!💥💥💥

The older I get the more I appreciate your music and song subject matter/lyrics , Couldn't get my head around some of those lyrics back in the 70s ,but understand alot now, You and Walter just continued to amaze me ,thanks

It’s about me, but my paternal grandmother also sang in the Catskills. I wish I’d have had heard her. I went on to grow up and attend Juilliard do voice for two years. She never got to know.

Buried treasure. Thanks for sharing this.

Brutal

Pure and perfect. A superb song sung by the composer, aided by superb musicians

I guess the drummer was out sick?

I keep drifting back to this video.

Was that the beautiful Valerie Simpson Co presenting the award !? As for the performance utter genius as usual from the master !

Love Donald to def, but he can't sing ! Ha ! Ha ! I guess he's what musicians call a stylist ?

Spotify

Love ❤️ Donald’s music!!

Donald is the fucking best RIP Walter Becker

Now I understand better to this great musician and guitarrist, Tod. I once asked to an american musician, about who he considered a great american musician and he responded me It was Tod Rundgren ! Greetongs from Mexico city!! It was a great rendition!!!

This is damned entertaining.

An absolute genius

I was hoping but that's a nope

Ace of aces. National treasure.

I taped a little bit of brand new key by Melanie at unpredictable show in A.C. It was hilarious 🎧🎸🎤🤣🔑🛼

Thank you for whoever took a video of this song I sat in the front row at the Fillmore Philadelphia and I was shaking so badly in like a leaf to be in front of my wizard and true star 🌟 but all my pictures were blurry🎤🤣

drummer can't swing. they miss the beat entirely.

What I would have given to be there, in a small intimate audience, listening to the musical genius that is Donald Fagen.

I met you very late but .... better than ever

Wow. I've been a fan of Donald Fagan for almost 50 years now. As a musician, he's been a huge influence on me.

love it. never seen this footage.....

Miss Becker

I saw this tour here in Southern California it was great.. they even did "Muskrat Love" with a straight face..
