FM - Steely Dan TKV

[@twoblacklabs904]

Hey Thomas...you MUST be as big a Steely Dan junkie as I am... You’ve been putting up these video gems for years! Thanks for all your diligence and hard work. I appreciate it, and you’ve got your latest Subscriber...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🎸✌🏼

[@thomaseliason8376]

You are correct - I've been all about the Dan since 1982. Still love 'em and listen to their stuff all the time. Funny thing is, there are 4 more SD vids I've made that YT blocks worldwide (!)

[@steveandme63]

It's March of 2024, and listening to Steele Dan is still just as smooth and lush an experience as it was the fiest time.

[@MarkVeits-l9k]

And now that rec weed is legal..... It completely brings back the era we came from!

[@peggygay2415]

Today is 5-16-24 and I am still listening to it. Brings back very good memories. I wish I had them today with the same people. Love and ✌️

[@LindaOliver-e8q]

I've listened to 'FM' a jillion times and never had the privilege of seeing Steely Dan perform it. I am so glad to see this video. Thanks for posting.

[@DrunkAuntSally]

It's a very well produced epic jam

[@garydotson2277]

I’m knocking on 75, this stuff never gets old. Always loved Stelly,, always will.

[@roderickgodfrey5918]

FM (No static at all)…I first listened to this song back in ‘78 and years later, it still rocks😎👍

[@donald1841]

Steely Dan was always the calm in the midst of the storm. Very much different from all the rest. A comfortable lay back music recognizable in an instant. Smooth to perfection. Even today my 63 year old ass wants to just get up and groove to these tunes. Not only does steely Dan bring back so many memories, but brings back that youthful feeling again. I want to put on some tight britches lol, and dance in my fancy pants.

[@peggygay2415]

This is October 2023 and I still listen to this song

[@peggygay2415]

Wow I think about how much easier life was back at this time. People got along regardless of their color or political party. I would love to have that now in 2023

[@johnreitz5676]

"People got along"?! I was there, that's not the way I remember it.

[@peggygay2415]

@@johnreitz5676 maybe it was the company you kept.

[@edadpops1709]

Life was cruelly different in the 70s ,but these musicians remain the same love it still.

[@rongreen4231]

Liked them as a kid, love them now. I learned to appreciate the level of talent on display in this band.

[@stevebaker2613]

I'm 65 and still love smokin' weed and listening to Steely Dan as much as I did 50 years ago.

[@edwardcondran4152]

[@davebrunette6394]

Same here. I'll be 61 in a few weeks.

[@lowellnickell5726]

I always loved their jazz rock fusion. They are the best

[@annestevens4815]

Yes! The best! In love since my high school years. Still here all.. these years now. The Best!❤

[@brushfuller330]

This is what the Allman Bros would sound like if they were from New York

[@1957PLATO]

Never gets old.

[@JiNehcmi]

Absolutely Love this song.

[@albertrandall1944]

It never gets old After all these years I'm 73❤😅

[@britoemitchoe1175]

Man steely Dan they are way ahead of their time this is timeless music

[@MrJoycol]

Born in 1963 This smooth cut reminds me of my most favorite junior high and High school teacher Mr Keith Funk in Los Angeles…!!!! Rest in Peace…!!!

[@michaelbabella9012]

was a good film too!

[@mikesawyer4707]

Oh so cool. 😊

[@mikemccoy9705]

My GOD, listening to them makes me wanna go back and relive those magical times and memories 💯🔥😎

[@MegaShiva1]

The title song to the movie of the same name. Good movie, great soundtrack, especially with Steely Dan doing the title song.

[@kathycuster1714]

You absolutely cannot go wrong with his band! My teen years spent listening to some of the best music ever. Music will never be like it was "back in the day!" Teaching my 16 year old granddaughter "my" music. Some of it she gets. But, she's still young and has a bit to learn.

[@davebrunette6394]

I loved that song since the first time I heard it way back in the 70's. The guitar at the end is just incredible!

[@1963christmas]

Have loved this track since I was a kid. Never gets old. Still think it's Steely's best. Wonder why his t shirt keeps changing from black to white in this though!🤣

[@matthewmccarty1223]

Maybe it’s a mashup between performances lol. But I do agree that this song is one of their best, especially the whole Aja album!!

[@donbuckley3337]

Nobody puts it together like Steely Dan! Just check how crispy the accents are!

[@TheGreatEnzoMolinari]

The Soundtrack FM was gorgeous! I found it accidentally at that time and later found out that the track FM was on no studio LP of Steely Dan

[@JoeRodgers-n1t]

Amen brother, it is always a great time to party

[@ohgawd]

Just saw them in Auburn, Wa a couple weeks ago. A dream fulfilled! Miss you Walter. Thanks for loading this!👍💯❤️

I remember being a 10yr old kid running around playing and then this song came on the radio. I stopped in my tracks and I'm like, wait what's that?

Timeless 🎶🎶🎶

[@bronxboy51]

Spring of 1979 a movie was playing in Cincinnati with a strange title.”FM”. I went to see the flick.The movie opens with this song.I don’t remember shit about the movie but this song still rocks my soul all these years later.

[@ConcertTours]

You are the MAN! Great work!

[@thomascramer7485]

My heart beckons for it again😊

[@malcolmallen9474]

Americas luv this

[@JamesSeaberry]

Another great video, but I'm dyin' laughing at the video of the baritone during a tenor solo!!!!!! Creative license!!!! 😜😜

[@malcolmallen9474]

Got me from day 1❤

[@adamglatt9484]

Does anybody get that here is this old band that was there at the time to write this and perform it for the movie Car Wash as FM was really a totally different way to listen to music... the quality!!! It changed so many things including the range of music you could hear.... public radio, university radio and community radio was really founded in the opening of FM freqs for licensing once the tech was really ready.... Apollo tech gave us the car radios that were able to do both AM and FM and give us the sound that really came close to a record at home...

[@mikekannely2286]

Hated Steely Dan and Donald Fagen for decades as a young person. But now I love him/the group. Also am becoming a fan of Jazz music. Wow, you change a LOT when you age up, if you allow age to affect you.

[@margaretschmitt2531]

Just as great as always

[@Migoman52]

I am so in love with the shorter backup singer on the left. Swoon.

[@JamesSeaberry]

That's Carolyn Leonhart, daughter of the bassist, Jay Leonhart.

[@starjunkie5328]

I could listen to this outro for 100 years...at least.

[@mikemills174]

Just gutted they had to pull out of the uk Eagles tour my last chance of seeing them I expect!! Been listening since the early 70’s 😞

[@robertfriel7999]

No static at all from me Thomas!

[@chris-in-oceania]

Fantastic! Love them as always ♥

[@jocknarn3225]

Slick music sugar-coating social subversion. A favourite band of mine.

[@malcolmallen9474]

A 1 all of rudy and bablion sisters yeah

[@jerryhoward8133]

Sounds like Studio quality, they were perfectionists no doubt. Their music will live forever very righteous and relevant

[@CursedInEternity92]

No static at all, could also refer to a night of no troubles. Whoch was probably facilitated by the good sound of fm, but static alao means like a fight or issue

[@naughtmoses]

Manhattan nights.

[@kirkwatson1442]

Don,walts got your back

[@geoffcampbell2408]

love the music but laughed a little when the bari sax is shown for the solo- that would be the tenor sax makin that music...

[@PaulForbes-e2f]

It's all about steely Dan thanks

[@robertlester1956]

WoooooooooW

[@johnshields6852]

It's true, AM radio was static, FM no static at all. 16 in 1976 my first record was the royal scam.

[@dougselsam5393]

Starting at 3:10, the lead guitar "outtro" (ending) sounds like David Gilmour/Pink Floyd. If someone wouldda said "They hired David Gilmour for this part", it would be totally believeable. Also, the band YES, song "Owner of a Lonely Heart" seems to have sort of ripped off this song for their main theme.

[@Deanriley]

You are probably retirement age if you understand why the subject of this song was such a big deal in the 60s.

[@peggygay2415]

Yes, I am retired. This is when music was music. Not so much now

[@Sunshine-lw8wx]

Ok I'll bite. .. why?

[@danlunham4478]

Fersher. The counterculture came to us in L.A. through top 40 AM, as it did throughout the country, which speaks to what we were demanding, and we got it. FM kicked in late 60s as the certainty of change heralded by our troubadors, Dylan, et al, grokked through AM, began to wane, and FM became a refuge. No static at all, but collective change was a memory, and the guys brilliantly, heartbreakingly conveyed that too, "Kid Charlemagne," which I first heard on 94.7, KMET.

[@batuksri]

Yamaha DX7?

[@antwha5526]

no static at all on FM WNEW 102.7 Fn

[@jillianhervish5957]

Richard Nichols....share the same sentiment!!!!😅

[@JakeLuke308]

FM was not on Aja. Only released on Decades, Best Of.

[@gordoneggleston6955]

What a bitchin bass line in this!

[@bentonscrivener]

Smooth MFers!
