And yet Boz Scaggs takes the crown here. Science can't explain that, but it's true! Boz's tunes were the best. Also that chuck berry with Michael on accordion... audience totally didn't get it, but what do you expect from our "elites" at Lincoln center? Golf claps & dysfunction & thievery.

Here’s the thing, these artists are at the top of their field, experienced musicians with music and soul in their bones, and in their blood. They don’t try to outshine each other, they complement each other. Listen to the phrasing of the guitar, note perfect, it comes alive because of the musician, like the guitar is talking, expressing its own view of how magical these people really are together. Donald Fagan’s lingering, soulful piano, my god it doesn’t get any better. Wonderful. All of them.

This song is our favorite concert memory. My wife and I were standing in line outside the U. of Toledo sports arena on Sunday April 21, 1974, waiting for the doors to open for our first Steely Dan concert. It was so unusually warm that all the arena windows were open, when we suddenly heard the sound of "Pretzel Logic" being played live during the band's soundcheck. When they got to the song's bridge, and the line "Well I stepped up on the platform," we heard a voice that we knew was no longer Donald Fagen's. Two hours later, when they played it to a live audience, we could put Michael McDonald's face with that incredible voice we had had heard earlier. That was our introduction to Michael, a year before he would join The Doobie Brothers on tour to replace an ailing Tom Johnston.

[@AndrewMayer-yb3vn]

[@jayaet]

Jon Herrington on lead guitar - a major contribution to this magic-ianship. Just think what we would have missed if Don hadn't said; "Play another riff Jon, play another riff". This concert version has been resounding in my head for months now, it just won't go away - and I keep coming back here - pure addiction and I don't care. Thanks guys.

[@tomcollens4621]

[@Dad3Sons]

Fagan asked Herrington to “play another eight” (bars of the intro).

[@rtrowbridgedixon]

SUCH a difficult tempo!! As a drummer, let me assure you that this is real *work* keeping everyone from rushing. This rhythm section is superb in every way, but most importantly, they hang on to the groove with an iron fist. Deep respect for those guys!

[@Oohmyliver68]

No headphones no click track, didn't jockey along it was superb

[@MrMichaeldunbar21]

Having played R n R, POP, JAZZ and SOUL MUSIC for many years, I totally agree! (I primarily played BASS GUITAR!) Tempo can get really tricky, but the DRUMMER (AND the BASS!) can keep it steady!

[@Terrezio]

I'm 27 and I've been drumming for over 20 years, with two incredible teachers who put me on to Steely Dan way after my dad did, and when I first saw this performance I thought it felt a little slow, but that said, the way man kept everyone in perfect time throughout is incredible! Shannon Forrest did such an amazing job and this is one of the best live performances of Pretzel Logic I've seen. A slow or even slow-ish blues, as a drummer is up there with the hardest tempos to keep to whilst keeping everyone in check, let alone without an in ear click track. Shannon and the rhythm like you said absolutely smashed this tune!

[@DeelyStanimals]

To be fair the drummer has in ears and it sounds possible that he might only have the click. Either way it's deceivingly difficult.....almost nobody's natural pulse is this slow.

[@Terrezio]

@@DeelyStanimals even with in ears playing with a metronome especially a slow or slow-ish one takes more skill than to play to a faster one😄I’ve played live with backing tracks and that adds pressure because you really have to be on point with the click😂

The difficulty. The beauty. The brilliance. The intensity. The smoothness. Some of the greats gathered together with Donald and Walter's work - doing it together at once - i'm a blathering idiot, yes, I know... but I'm left feeling as though I'm melting... everything about this brilliant song from that brilliant group that was like no other that will never be again - the incomparable Steely Dan. Today I feel so grateful I grew up with their music... that their music filled my college dorm room when I had free time; that they were popular on FM for a hella long time; that I have every one of their albums + their CDs + their downloads.

My wife (girlfriend at the time) and I saw this live from the balcony at Lincoln Center in NYC. There were PBS cameras throughout the venue with one about 5 feet to the left of us. I donated $100 to Channel 13, the NYC PBS carrier who sponsored the event, and received two tickets for my generosity. The performance was among the best I've ever seen. After the show ended, Donald Fagan announced to the audience that the recording crew need some songs to be redone. He went on to say that the audience could stay if they wished while they re-recorded some tracks. Almost no one left. Knowing that this would be released for sale at some point, I left anxiously awaiting that time. I snapped up the DVD once it was available and watched it right away. Although the DVD performance is really great, the live event seemed to have so much more energy. I've subsequently seen Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs perform live. Don't miss an opportunity if they play anywhere near your town. BTW If you want to hear a really great version of this song, and many other great performances, get the album, New York Rock and Soul Review. Michael McDonald's portion is amazing. Phoebe Snow (RIP) belts out a couple of powerful songs.

Steely Dan represents the pinnacle in musicianship and song writing imo, and they are a fave in my music catalogue. With that said, I don't feel like a proper tribute was given to walter becker, the second half of the "brain" behind their genius. We shouldn't forget that. And let's not forget the countless number of studio musicians who were part of their sound, who endured take, after take, after take, after take, to get "it" just right to Donald and Walter’s standards. I think an announcement should be made at each concert with a moment of silence....just sayin', this should be top protocol. I'm sure many would concur. R.I.P. Walter becker.

Nothing compares listening to the 1974 version on vinyl with my Technics turntable and my Shure headphones ❤ Hard to believe it was half a century ago..

[@Pow3llMorgan]

I'm astounded the stage can even bear so much talent at once.

[@Baby1Jazzi2Geri3]

Great talented musicians and singers. They rank at the top. Mighty fine. Don't let the gray hair fool ya. Like wine they play and age well. ❤

[@bradallmand2841]

Been listening to this stuff since the early 1980's... awesome!!... Fagen is absolutely one of a kind in the history of all music. Amazing. Michael McDonald's voice adds to the legend for sure.

[@toddh4491]

Damn, I'd love to have seen this live. Nailed Pretzel Logic.

[@kyzor-sosay6087]

Pretty sure these guys nailed everything they play,excellence is not the exception it’s the practice.

[@wernerrohr7259]

It´s really amazing how they sings the chorus together

[@gregmullins6927]

A classic blues groove,well done Dukes.

[@twhobie]

Wow, why can’t I get tired of listening to The Dukes? What a supergroup. Fagen’s music, Herington’s axe, Boz, Michael just kills it on his verse.

Over a long time ago ? Hell to the no baby ! ..right here..right now ! Keep on truckin' boys !

[@sashaportnyagin8005]

This is the great music of our generation !

[@smcdds215]

Goosebumps.

[@TheMisterGriswold]

Saw The Dukes in Raleigh. Will never forget. 🎶

[@d-not_telling]

To whomever conceived this combination of talent - thank you!

[@antmar692000]

My brother turned me onto The Dukes and all I can say is “Awesome”!! Love them! ❤️

[@mikelamberth9975]

Just saw Steely Dan last night in Austin. Just perfect.

[@10bouvier]

Took this album to college with me when 19... (Joe Walsh still my original hero)....this production combines 200+ years of perfected musicianship.... goosebumps and tears....as it warrants...

[@cindipossidento5688]

Oh lord …… Take me back to those Good ole days !!!! 😘

[@samdrye8067]

Unbelievable genius music in every corner hands down

[@michaelchitter1874]

This is why Jazz-Rock can and will never die! Purely unbelievable!

[@robertcarter9350]

Two words: Sheer class.

[@Walsh1502]

If there’s one song that captures SD’s brilliant cynicism and sarcasm, this is it. Brilliant.

[@jeanmarielieb9127]

I have met people who don't get them at all!! I don't know how they miss the excellence though.

[@godbluffvdgg]

The whole Pretzel Logic album is a brilliant portrayal of the world, then and now...Charlie Freak is so poignant...Barrytown, So many great songs...:)

[@Walsh1502]

@@godbluffvdgg Without a doubt…one of their absolute best

[@joelok48]

In 1999 they brought in a motivational speaker to improve the "morale" in our stock brokerage office. After delivering a half hour of the most inane platitudes, the guy turned to us and said " any questions?" My friend Kevin, the most sarcastic guy ever, raised his hand, pointed downward and said " where did you get those shoes?" We all looked at the guy's shoes, all scuffed and dirty and laughed him out of the office. The next day our manager quit. A Steely Dan moment!

[@michaelscott7462]

So strong Im shedding tears. Mercy!

[@davelandsman4768]

Love this lineup. Wish they'd play more often. Just amazing!

[@mlysupermom]

A massive massive amount of talent on that stage right there …. So wonderful

[@kcinks]

I can't give this enough likes!

[@warrenenglish942]

This is most excellent. We saw The Dukes in Charlotte a couple of years ago. They were amazing! The audience was not. People bought tickets not understanding what they were coming to see. During "You Can Never Tell" the drunks next to me were screaming, "PLAY AN OLDIE!" My comback? "You don't get much more 'oldie' than a Chuck Berry song." I got the open mouth look like I was speaking a foreign language.

[@robliptak93]

The eleven dislikes must have been those idiots that attended your concert.

[@blueslurker1]

That’s exactly why I ‘d rather view concerts on video.

[@warrenenglish942]

@@blueslurker1 I would agree, but I'd miss the energy of the live band and feel of the music. In the age of everyone whipping out cell phones to record, I don't understand. Watch the show and live in THAT moment. Cheers!

[@Michael-xj6qt]

Just awesome performance

[@rbud57]

one of my all-time favorite Steely Dan songs - love seeing Donald cruising through it. (and everyone else!!) ♥

[@lweinstein5]

Masterpiece! Time stood still!!

[@Emperorjones]

Perhaps one of the deepest grooves to ever come from the Dan. This is a nice fresh take on the classic. Lusciously laid back. Boz kills it, reminds of his days back in Madtown.

[@terryoconnor4208]

Omg this is soooooo great what I’d give to have been there I can not express my joy enough . My kind of music

[@kimlouisemedicalintuitive9478]

I had no idea that they formed this super group!!!! So incredible!!!

[@jorgemelendez377]

At the epicenter of greatness there is always something that strikes to the core of every witness of it: effortlessness.
