Can we get a shout out for this singer? He's fantastic. The band sounds amazing.

[@iansnyder274]

That is Joey Eppard ...a virtuoso guitar player as well and artist in his own right!!!

[@larryscott3982]

Yes. Yes you can.

[@big_fat_hen]

Band and singer sound great. Lindsey Skeye blends perfectly with the singer. Very nice rendition.

[@tcfalcon2000]

Dude up front with the congas...great voice!

[@shelbykennedy1566]

Pretty effin' cool. 💖👍

[@johnstevens5864]

As a guy in a cover band I have two comments. 99% of cover bands don’t attempt or shouldn’t attempt Steely Dan because of the technical ability you have to have to do it right. Also this vocalist deserves massive credit this is a really really talented group. Well done, bravo.

[@dougcoleburn1579]

Agree 100% this group really did a nice job.

[@larryscott3982]

This isn’t cover, it’s homage. And very good.

[@larryscott3982]

You have idea how much I was into Steely Dan. I had very expensive taste in stereos back Int the day. steely Dan was the best sound, style, completely different than ‘pop and rock’. I’m binging now

[@blueshorecreative3146]

This isn't cover, it's Napalm!

[@russbuford8392]

Well said…goosebumps

[@noternunstoned]

Rick Marotta, unsung hero, he deserves more recognition, kudos and R&R / pop hall of fame.

[@putinkhuylo]

Oh yeah! Listen to him on Spyro Gyra's 'Old San Juan'. Master class in drumming.🤯

[@raykus1160]

Love the 2 secord break for" Is There Gas In The Car?" PERFECTION!

[@markgouras1099]

Agreed!

[@markhymel2328]

I would pay good $$$ to see this band!! Saw Steely Dan in NOLA about 6 years ago. Sadly they disappointed.

[@marsstubblefield]

guitarist NAILED that Larry Carlton solo - awesome - how many years passed since he (and we) 1st heard it - yet, still fresh - I could listen to it again immediately - in fact, I did !!!!!

[@keithreeder]

He REALLY didn't.

[@johnvrabec9747]

@@keithreeder Yeah, was kinda let down that he didn't follow through. It's an iconic solo that every Steely Dan aficionado is waiting to hear.

[@jerrymarottadrums]

That’s Pete Levin on keys. He’s long gone. We were fortunate enough to have David Jameson from the Security Project take over. Can’t wait to post some video with him.

[@richardbrucemusic]

That bass player is phenomenal!

[@yelmist]

So true. When I watch this band, I just rock to her. So good.

[@hellofromrob]

Agreed! Even though her back is turned during most of this song. My absolute favorite bass cover of this (only one take!) is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHm1Zaeig5V_Z5o

[@richardbrucemusic]

@@hellofromrob not sure why you would say her back is turned for most of the song. I just watched the first 2 minutes and her back wasn't turned once.

[@hellofromrob]

@@richardbrucemusic I had to check again and from about 2:15 on, she’s pretty much facing the drummer... Nevertheless she’s still very good!

[@richardbrucemusic]

@@hellofromrob yeah wonder why I didn't notice it before? I mean during the guitar solo I get it but.. oh, well.

[@MPfrance]

This is just beyond fantastic. Besides the music being great it's SO important in these type of covers that the singer sound similar to the original. And this young man nails it!!

[@jerrymarottadrums]

Reelin' In The Years is performing our first post lock-down show on Saturday, July 24th Live at The Falcon in Marlboro, NY. We hope to see you there, it's been much too long!

[@brettgroh1112]

Pulling off a Steely Dan tune really well...Awesome performance!

[@lynnswartz7389]

Wow!!! Sounds great 👍 kewl & grooving!! ☮️😎🥰

[@lonkirschner7448]

Rick and Jerry are too cool. The playing is effortless. As much fun to watch as to listen to. Kings of the Hi-Hat!

[@gmantube1535]

Loved it! Great singer and very talented musicians. Showing great respect for Steely Dan!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Very good vocals! That guy is awesome!

[@ispcapret1]

Huge Steely Dan fan- these folks are amazing!

[@joshb23]

Everyone is just killin' it! But DAMN that bass is out of this world! Awesome work all around, just so great.

[@erichaskell]

Its nice to see the genius of Steely Dan appreciated.

[@kenfridley8143]

Great seeing Jesse Gress in the corner!

[@dreenadelevieleuse9341]

for sure

[@rogerdixon1069]

The singer. Jesus, what a voice, I could listen to this all day. If anything is better than the original, this might be it

[@iansnyder274]

That's Joey Eppard. Amazing guitar player,songwriter too...look up Treetops

[@markwilliams8479]

Once you start to listen you just can't stop. Really nice.

[@joant1629]

awesome . my top steely dan song.

[@robb930]

cant wait to see them tonight!!! bearsville theater woodstock

[@paulemma8125]

Is there gas in the car..........IS THERE GAS IN THE CAR........awesome change! Bravo to all, great guitar solo!!!

[@affepost8520]

It made my eyes watery, ... it takes the original to a different level with this relaxed groove.

[@stranarn1]

Wonderful Guys 🥰❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻

[@Azman.]

Wooow!! Great vocalist (sweet girl), muzik arrangement & the band! Greetings from Jazzman KUL.

[@zeleznacesta]

Exactly the right groove and tempo, perfect....

[@TheJohnnyBE]

Whatever these guys get paid for this gig, it's not enough. A labor of love.

[@peterconnolly2724]

Proof that musicians are musicians, no matter how old...

[@TheRosco17]

This is just awesome. Everyone - and the lead singer Homage to Steely Dan Vocals. Great job!!

[@daciuk8]

Fantastic lead vocal!🇬🇧👍🇬🇧

[@fadzilbastun392]

Fantastic show.. Double thumbs up

[@mznyc1]

Man,every show I hear from LFDH always sounds fantastic! Kudo's the broadcast mixer!

[@archie34734]

Great Kid Charlemagne cover!

[@Collwila]

Never into Steely Dan music but that was fabulous musicianship by everyone. The guitar solo was really tastefull

[@PaulDeChambeau]

Lead singer is so darn good!

[@MikeFloutier]

Loved it, that was great, everyone played their parts to perfection; especially when you consider most of us will be comparing it to the original recording - and this was LIVE! I think the only thing I would change would be to re-mix with the lead guitar beefed up fractionally but that may just be me listening on my iPad. Well done and thank you!

[@LookinUp2001]

Bold to take it on at all. And they kill it. What a great job.

[@aarongoff1111]

Very nice rendition. Everyone bringing their A game. Such a great testament to the music of Steely Dan 👍🎸🎶🎵🎶🎺🥁

[@jmartz1969]

Very nice wow luv it 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@bradleyg.3159]

What an absolute Pleasure, Superlative musicianship across the board and the Bassist? Sublimb, I'll be smiling for Hours. Thanks for this . . . . .

[@ailishbethd4033]

Perfect voice for the Steely Dan stuff. Sounding great guy.

[@johnthomas479]

Damn, That was GOOD!

[@rickbales1880]

Bravo, BRAVO!

[@markd1810]

had to listen to the man sing a couple of SD songs and yes he has the chops to sing SD...not many do. Bravo.

[@miscellanyman263]

Grandma rockin' it on bass with her smoove grooves wow :-)

[@williampage5869]

The singer is fantastic!

[@chrissimons9733]

[@jasonsobol32]

Rick played with Steely Dan on Peg, on the album Aja. Great drummer

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

It took a few minutes to realize there were two drummers. Being a drummer myself, I never understood the purpose of having two.

[@wnenf]

Great cover….all players are so talented

[@haroldmessinger1]

vocals are spot on. Tight band...

[@DocRockTheDj]

Got a "stiffie" listening to this great cover! Damn!👍😁

[@hunterlawrence7228]

I am digging this

[@randyrowe3097]

Can you imagine a band like this

[@TheMg49]

Old Steely Dan fan here. Really enjoyed this. This band and singers are so good. Thumbs up!

[@marksc1929]

...great singer / band ....to add to this ...yes the bands tight with a great groove .....but I love how the singer , sings with so much passion ....feels each n every lyric ....DF should be proud ... cheers 👍

[@Will-tl7ns]

Guitar playing is incredible, not sure he even looked at the neck for the whole song. How can this be possible with the accuracy required for this. Remind me of watching Rory Gallagher..

[@snakelakeestates8666]

Thanks to D for this platform

[@wernerrohr7259]

Amazing version, great musicians

[@bettinau.erichkulling7642]

The great Chris Pasin on trumpet. Killer band!

[@seanharrington730]

Superb... Nuff said

[@megaritabest1]

Really great, yes there's gas in the car! Love it!

[@NattydreadOldSchool]

Not only my favorite Steely Dan song, my favorite song ever.. I wanted to give this a thumbs down just for the audacity of trying to remake it.. but that would have been short sighted.... loved your take...

[@philchitarra6710]

Mine too

[@davek1990]

Shout out for the singer tone and phrasing spot on! How?..........practice

[@russbuford8392]

Excellent cover to Bear’s tribute
