STEELY DAN - DO IT AGAIN | REACTION

Another Great Track 🎼🙌🏾
Here’s the video link • Do It Again

[@mrpedantic]

The genius of Steely Dan is that they were secretly a jazz band all along. They just managed to sneak jazz in as pop.

[@mateomembrila7115]

rock lmao pop means popular and steely dan are far from it

[@AURADRCalifornia]

Yup

[@guydanielclotilde4861]

Mateo Membrila :They were popular in bars and clubs all over the world in the seventies.

Walter Becker was one of America’s greatest guitarists and musical genius, RIP.

[@SMccrate01]

His solo albums Eleven Tracks of Whack and Circus Money are pretty great. Highly recommended.

[@MrLange256]

Fagan is the John Lennon, Becker is the McCartney

[@MrLange256]

Fagan is the soul of the collaboration, and by far the biggest contribution to the musical sound

[@Enigma758]

Denny Dias on sitar deserves some credit here too!

[@williamalsup2444]

I want to party with him when I get to the other side

[@MailOrderGamers]

Steely Dan are probably the most underrated band fro their era.

[@redarmysoja]

They really are.

[@RennyBQUEEN]

Definitely one of them. Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, Talking Heads, The Post-Northern years of The Beatles closer to their breakup.

[@theCelticDragon1]

On the UK side i'd say Roxy Music, New Zealands Split Enz hardly gets any love.

[@theodorleijonbergandreasse3228]

What do you use as reference? Steely Dan are well known everywhere, especially among musicians. Non-musician friends my age are hit or miss, but we're only in our early 20s. When I studied music, EVERYONE knew and loved the Dan. Didn't matter if you were 15 or 75, working or studying at that school, they were very looked up to. One of my biggest inspirations for sure, and my all time favorite band.

[@donnythompson408]

This was the song that got me PERMANENTLY HOOKED ON Steely Dan back in 1973. Still have the original album too.

[@eyescandeceive]

me too--I'm pretty sure this was the first song of theirs I ever heard. It got some crossover airplay on the black stations in Washington DC.

I love this man. I love his reactions, and his smile is gorgeous. And, because I love everything that Donald Fagen has produced, I love the way Jamel appreciates this music. You can see how much he enjoys it. He is so full of goodness and kindness. I am 72 year old, but this man, and Steely Dan's music, make me feel young.

My dad was an artist and when he would finish work, he loved to come home and unwind by drawing while listening to Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, ZZTOP, War, ElChicano etc. Inevitably I would do some dumb shit that would get me put in “timeout” and I would be there, nose in the corner, grooving back-and-forth to this very song. Eventually my father realized putting me in timeout was really not a punishment and stopped. Thank you Steely Dan.

You likely know that the Dan's recordings are frequently used by live sound engineers to set up their systems. Steely Dan production always emphasized mic choice and placement and avoided the use of EQ as much as possible, making their recordings something of a reference for clarity and purity.

[@tazlynn1958]

"Do It Again" is a song composed by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, performed by American rock group Steely Dan, which was released as a single from their 1972 debut album Can't Buy a Thrill. The single version differed from the album version, shortening the intro and outro and omitting the organ solo. Released in 1972, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 18, 1972, and reached number 6 on the US charts in 1973, making it Steely Dan's second highest charting single.[3] The original version of "Do It Again" is in the key of G minor, with Fagen on lead vocals. The song uses a large amount of syncopation in the vocal melody.[citation needed] The tune features an electric sitar solo by Denny Dias. The "plastic organ" solo by Donald Fagen was performed on a Yamaha YC-30 with a sliding pitch-bending control.[4] Donald Fagen - Wurlitzer electric piano, plastic (YC-30) organ and vocals Denny Dias - electric sitar Jeff Baxter - guitar Walter Becker - bass guitar Jim Hodder - drums Victor Feldman - percussion David Palmer fronted the band during their live show, and he sang "Do It Again" when the group played The Midnight Special in January 1973. But Donald Fagen sang the vocal on the album version.[5] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_It_Again_(Steely_Dan_song)

Dude, your reaction within the first few bars - priceless. That's exactly what I thought when I heard this song again with a fresh appreciation for musical talent.

[@dynjarren8355]

One of their most hypnotic songs! And best! Once you discover Steely Dan, there’s no going back. As smooth as it gets. 🎸👏🏻😎

Indeed

pure joy watching you react to these Steely Dan classic's!

I love that the song starts so cool, then kicks it up a notch, then another, then got so ridiculous that you had to stop to go compose yourself.

[@erinkimbrell3196]

Every time I hear this song a smile comes to my face... could be in a terrible mood, but this song is an instant game changer. SD is probably the most under valued rock band in my lifetime. RIP Walter Becker

[@timothyhays1817]

The intro is very Latin influence. Kinda sounds like Santana.

[@geminiguy2013]

Or.....it could be that Santana sounds like Steely Dan ;) LoL

[@Eowyn187]

Damn I never thought of that. Smh you right. Damn I can't believe I didn't connect that sound. Cuz I love Santana. 😃

[@dwc1964]

when I first heard it I thought it *was* Santana (since he's never the vocalist), kept waiting for his guitar to come in & got confused

John Shannon I listed Royal Scam as one of my Top 20 albums with a friend on FB. That opening chord and solo on DTMA is SICK. Larry Carlton! Of course, Aja was Numero Uno.

Dude, you have one of my absolutely FAVORITE Shows on KZbin! Keep on Rollin’. These Guys are one of the Groups who got me into Jazz. My 1st Jazz Album was Bitches Brew, that I bought by mistake, mixing Miles up with Buddy Miles. I freaked out on that and took off from there. THEN I found The Legendary Stockholm Concert. The greatest Album of all Time.

I got your dance moves down & totally shoulder rolled & rocked with you on this musical perfection called Steely Dan. It is joy to feel the love with you & go back in time again with my older eyes. Music unites the hearts.

[@elgenetiamzon1062]

This was their "debut" album and many od the songs in it became huge hits. The whole album was a masterpiece in and of itself. My no.1 favorite song on the whole album is "Midnight Cruiser". It is absolutely fantastic! Part ofvthe reason why Steely Dan was so good is because Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were absolute perfectionists. They never put out anything that wasn't absolutley perfect.

[@fpapahro]

Love watching your reaction to Steely Dan. Watching you is like I'm looking in the mirror at myself about 35 years ago. Thank you Jamel. It reminds what it felt like when I fell in love with this band. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE watch the video of The Royal Scam w/lyrics. It is sad and haunting. When I deeply listened to this song several years ago, it stuck with me for a couple of weeks.

[@tekknow-9419]

Great band, one of the best ever, and I can say that with ease and conviction!

[@UTarcher72]

I consider the guitar solo to be one of the top of all time. Powerful and so incredibly unique.

[@13letras]

That's right. For me this is one of the best and most original solos in history, along with Hotel California and Sultans of Swing. The guy develops 20 different ideas without using a bit of distortion, you can hear every note. And he is not imitating anyone at all, tremendous personality
