Jon Herington of Steely Dan

[@markford6154]

Steely Dan are a magical, otherworldly band demonstrating the finest musicianship on the planet. I am very pleased to have seen them, here in the U.K. at Birmingham NIA in 2009.

[@michaelhellwarth9357]

One of my favorite bands ever! So many great songs and their timeless…

100%. The writing is top notch and they're all so talented. Jon is a super nice guy too. Whole interview was dope!

I can honestly say I never skip a track on a steely Dan album. Really.... tell me a Dan song you don't like

@@luvmenow33 Do It Again. Showbiz Kids. A bunch of the stuff from 2AN and EMG. But I don’t really count 2AN and EMG as official Steely Dan albums. So yeah, Do It Again and Showbiz kids. Those are the only two I don’t listen to. Other than that, all bangers.

@sgrey9181 Well these days I'm more into the songs not on the radio so I gotta ask why Showbiz kids? I love fagans solo stuff too. I.G.Y. is a favorite

[@sgrey9181]

@@luvmenow33 I just don’t like the groove of Showbiz Kids and Do It Again. They both feel very hollow to me

I kinda figured he was gonna say something like that..because - I was fortunate enough to see them in 92 (Aja's long awaited tour!) and again in 93 (Two against the world) and, in both cases it got my attention right away how they opened..by walking out in opposite directions and shaking hands. A VERY COOL way to show "humility". But..it didn't end with that thought. I bought programs for both tours as well cuz I ALWAYS do if they're available. I noticed that both Becker and Fagan were both very casually dressed in all of their shots - like..regular dudes, and I found that to be a very cool personal aspect of both of these gentlemen! Becker is ALREADY SORELY MISSED!! They were waaaay ahead of their time and I was honored to see that! It was the very BEST non-visual show that I've ever seen on both accounts. Pink Floyd holds the "visual" spot. 😁 Yes, I got to see them too - 4 times. But, Steely Dan sounds EXACTLY like they do in the studio! That speaks volumes because VERY FEW bands can make THAT claim! Very cool little clip ya got here. I guess I've seen this man play too then, huh? 😉

Wow!

Legendary

[@patton303]

Donald and Walter let their musicians be musicians. They knew that a good player always knows what needs to be fixed.

[@luvmenow33]

He couldn't bring himself to direct me. Is this the same guy who wasn't satisfied with Babylon Sisters until the 262th take? (Btw thats why its the greatest song ever made.) Well its definitely up there
