Possibly the Dan's best groove. Purdie is a monster!

Amazing. No click. Tight as a drum. With head phones on you can hear the musical genius of Bernard Purdue. The ever so subtle opening and closing of the hi hat along with the delicate snare drum ghost notes. So sweet!

How can you tell Purdie isn't playing to a click? Because he speeds up as the song proceeds.
@loslobos9461 Жыл бұрын
@@Videosop23 It’s my understanding that he wasn’t. I could be misinformed. Most of the old school drummers didn’t like playing to a click. Purdie probably didn’t need one.

This was before Becker and Fagen apparently lost their minds and thought they needed a machine to create the perfect groove. . .

Well Fagen did, Becker was in the hospital during the time Donald went mad. Thats the same time he had the 250 takes of Babylon Sisters.

Sometimes what I love about Bernard’s playing is just how minimalist it is: less being more. But here his drumming is full to overflowing. Yet it has the same space. What a groove. He makes it sound easy. How do you do that? The man’s a genius.

Great guitar chords at 2:04. There really were the slickest of chord voicings on Steely Dan records.

This is very cool. I love how the clavinet is a bit looser in these takes, esp. take 1 where it sort of rolls into the percussive chords. I don't know if this is Paul Griffin or Don Grolnick.

02:30 "Just wait". So good to be able to hear Bernard's encouragement and whooping at the magic that is taking place. I found this take too slow for my tase when it started but maybe Bernard was telling me to wait? Because I started really feeling it around that time and love this slightly slower approach to the tune.

Is it about a thief that steals the emerald earrings and the Greek medallion? Tells "Angel, sorry! can't help the hunger to steal from even you". Who knows? I have some bootleg and outtakes of this great funk classic but I never had this one, thanks.

That's it, lyrics about a jewel thief who preys on rich, married and bored women, seduces them then steals their stuff, since they are married they never denounce him in order to avoid a scandal, so h goes on w/ impunity.

The pic of the late great Walter with Donald triggers me... In the guitar-piano duo space, a quite mundane guitar player can bring a magic of groove, and happening harmonic shifts, courtesy of the fretboard, that a traditional piano player wouldn't think of... while the intricacies of the 88-space add the inside moves to the guitarists overall-more limited harmonic palette...

Bernard Purdie's voice audibly doing the count off. Slower tempo, Dank AF! maybe one or two, different changes at the end of the instrumental transition, right before the solo?, some kicks also different, but the tempo and grove are Phat.
