[@axyshaysi]

Mark is hell of a funky man. I wonder if he made this solo in first shot

[@cironicholas526]

Benni is a beast. I've never heard someone lay down lines THAT solid while singing. Easily one of the most inspiring bands out there today

[@benjudbass]

🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

@@benjudbass How were you getting that sound? It sounded almost like slap bass, but you weren't slapping or popping it. Was that a patch on the foot pedal you were using? Great playing...!!!

[@kipanshi]

@@The_Doc_Rocks He's definitely using compressor there plus something else. Also baritone guitar adds to the mix a lot.

[@cironicholas526]

@@The_Doc_Rocks Pure magic

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

@@kipanshi I used the DI track we recorded and ran it through a bit of distortion in the mid to high frequencies.

[@88mikemoody]

So so good. Benni, I don't think the average person realizes how hard it is to play a bass line like that and sing, you made it look so easy!

[@thehumblepundit9790]

The rhythm section is insane. The groove. Wow. Bass player and the drummer are the highlight here. Incredible.

[@kkfurtado]

You guys definitely should do a Steely Dan medley... I would gladly wait for it. They have so many amazing pieces you could put together! Well done on this!

[@skullkid112]

So glad I found Martin through Troy Grady. The quality of all these covers is insane.

[@STRAGGLER36]

Brilliant. But of course, you know that. Keep it up. There are some of us musicians out here, well not really musicians, guitar players, who really loved this stuff.

[@seanfitzpatrick7878]

I too found Martin through Troy Grady and of all the guitarists and musicians I've been turned on to in the past decade, these sessions are the most lucrative for my soul. I've listened to them all so many times now. These sessions are my most played playlist in my car, my computer and my phone...

[@skullkid112]

Sean Fitzpatrick nice! Yes I think they’ll be one of my most played as well

[@ThomasHoffDE]

Agree - sounds like HD. Talent amazing

[@BenMcrea61]

That’s where I discovered Martin too. Been a huge admirer since that moment.

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Badass. I loved the interplay between Mark and the bassist during Mark’s solo.

[@markprater1]

Mark Letter I: Funkiest guitarist in the game...🔥🔥🔥

[@dftns]

How the bloody hell people can dislike this! It was just delicious! Long live to the Martin Miller Session Band!

[@themunoshful]

Easy .. over playing verses the original .. they killed it there way though. 👌✅

[@thukdun]

This bass groove makes me wanna dance.

[@floydburney6060]

...... Steely Dan is timeless. Excellent rendition by Miller & his homies. If these guys ever tour? I'll be there.

[@TechMetalRules]

You can't ever have too much Steely Dan!

[@PhilUKNet]

Too right. 45 years already and I still never get bored.

[@rudyabiakl5900]

The sound of the drums is insane and so clean

[@markal3023]

And Felix. Skillfully holding it all together. Solid foundation for the other guys to work on.

[@g-love6507]

Mark Lettieri was outrageous on that octave solo.. straight crazy !

[@julienpirondeau9378]

Just amazing. A perfect version. A perfect group.

[@FT-64]

This is the first Steely Dan cover that I have truly enjoyed. The original work's production is so definitive that only rarely can a group manage to add anything of value....but these guys have managed it, from every single player. The contrasting guitar voicings work together in a way that I would not have expected. Outstanding job by everyone in the room!

[@kennyslg8914]

I've been listening to a lot of Aja lately, it honestly may be my favorite album of all time, and I love hundreds of albums. It's so awesome to see a cover of this track, and it's done very well.

[@danielhorn2322]

My favorites are probably aja and the royal scam

[@mattdaggett3695]

Mine too

[@cantstartafire]

Some of the best drums on this tune ever... Wow!!! Bravo!

[@iansnyder274]

Marks groove and time are frightening!!!! He is so dialed in ...and the rest are awesome too!

[@JohnMcGFrance]

Great musicians playing a great song. Brilliant.

[@jessicatorres3599]

Another great cover! This band always amazes me! Congratulations to all! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jamesgoddin8880]

Just sublime. Love it, love it, love it. Everyone is at the top of their game here.

[@iandennis7256]

Incredible groove the drummer takes it to another level

[@davidgrey6816]

One of the most talented bands ive ever heard much love from England

[@jonglee5220]

I sincerely thank you for your wonderful music.

[@ME-wh5pf]

A masterpiece for master musicians! Wonderful. Much respect!

[@bigdognance]

This piece was so spacious...where each instrument and voice has room to breath...excite...then move on through the crispness of slight improvisation well tasted and true! Great Job Guys! A+++++

[@Roestikrokette]

this band is out of another world! sick bass, epic guitars, a hammond organ from heaven and a clockwork on the drums! genious!

[@MrMeta410]

Always Amazing music

[@ImageClipsbyTim]

YES!!!!! Crazy crazy good as always!! Are you kidding me, that guitar solo that Mark does is insane!! Thanks to all of you for sharing your talent with us! You guys are awesome!!

[@18echosf]

This is one of the very best covers of any song I’ve ever heard! Monster musicianship!

[@amedeus40k]

I think you guys found the perfect band to cover given the talent/style of all of your members, and how they tend to express as they play. Steely Dan encompasses a group of serious musicians with a sound that drips of nothing but pure class, and you guys captured that effortlessly. Thank you!

[@markbowling3475]

Unbelievably detailed if you really sit back and listen , Martin you all absolutely blow me away !

[@marcoanaya7]

Wow! Mark "the beast" Lettieri. Awesome guys!

[@andrewstpierre4837]

Tone monster tour de force. Everybody clicking like nobody’s business . Love the baritone solo! Just a terrific rendition of a great tune!

[@FLYEAL]

Among many greats, my favourite cover here.

[@john.lakeman]

You guys are incredible.

[@93MBC]

You guys should cover "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago! Like this comment so Martin and the band can see it

[@TNKHART]

The awesome music and just watching you guys play takes me back. Thanks for the great music and looking forward to more

[@Jointlock]

WOW, WOW, F'ing WOW! Being a pretty serious musician myself this blew me away. Just gotta love when supremely talented people just gel and turn out work like this. Simply awesome guys!

[@user-ge3dk2ks9e]

Guys you are fantastic! All of you 💣🤘👍

[@johndoyle1810]

There is so many cool perfectionists people in music hence these guys

[@Sam-vl9sl]

My favourite rendition of yours to date! Just the right balance between insanely tight and funky groove and tasteful, song-serving solos! Well done, guys, I'm a fan!

[@southpaw335]

One of my favourite Steely Dan tracks and a brilliant take on it by you guys (as always) - cheers !

[@justnobody2933]

Such a sweet bass line, and I love how you always make use of each singer's natural strengths depending on the song.

[@makeitcount179]

Heh Josie, its your song!

[@2manyguitars]

War damals schon meine Lieblingsband und gehört immer noch zu meinen Top Ten.

[@marc_leblanc]

[@bicycleutopia]

i dont play the guitar and know nothing about music as a musician, but as a listener...martin miller is unbelievable. the whole band is fantastic. i cant believe im saying this, but martins solo here is even better than on YYZ....which i thought would be impossible!!! wow.

[@casparuskruger4807]

Top notch production/performance all around.

[@crbraue]

Damn! How refreshing,.. in the swill of these times! Forgot about everything for a moment, Thank You!

[@theyareallcrazy]

awesome and amazing talent and soul

[@gcavy1]

That overlap between bass and baritone is next level!

[@arianavarveris7156]

I first listened to this song without headphones and liked it, but was not blown away. When I listened for a second time this morning, I had headphones and was blown away with how good the sound quality was! Shoutout to the bass.

[@peterleclerc3053]

Fantastically great job!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheEddiez06]

Oh My God... Amazing!

[@georgebennett3197]

Nice! Martin - really got the feel of the Steely Dan vibe. Superb.... oh and the rest of the guys - awesome.

[@elarson312]

You guys sound incredible! Thanks for posting such a great rendition of this Steely Dan song. You guys rock!!!!

[@PlanetMezz]

Love love love!

[@frankierodriguez8661]

Steely Dan is in my opinion the best band ever so, to cover a masterpiece like Josie takes a lot of work, skill and delicacy. excellent Martin, the band is truly flawless. Having here my total hero Mark Lettieri is the icing of a wonderful cake. You are doing something we are not going to be able to repay my friend THANK YOU!!!!!

[@bartmulder6995]

Don't know what to say, goosebumps! This song was written and performed by the best musicians in the world and they totally pulled it off while doing their own take on it. Respect!

[@MarcoDiGiosaffatte]

Wonderful.... Amzizing!!! Very best compliments!

[@dougcotter8523]

Brilliant!!

[@ericindallas5293]

[@mathuyed971]

[@Kim_Jong_Un_2023]

After this brilliant performance I actually had Josie come home

[@anthony22bob]

Every person in this video is an absolute beast.

[@garrettpatton1795]

So good! Mark is a beast!

[@flaviopresutti]

Amazing power of the band!

[@johngomillion4872]

You guys never disappoint, always loved this song..👌👌👍🏻👍🏻

[@juanhurtado4248]

You are all excellent musicians, but, man, how huge is the drummer

[@Behine.DeChilis]

So pocket. Tight does not go far enough.

[@headunits]

He steals the show on almost every video.

[@bezzarguy]

He drives the band, so pocket.

[@diversify210]

Pretty sure the drummer Felix Lehrmanm. haven't seen him in a while. German drummer played for Meinl for a while. The dude is dope. One of the things I love about him is he has some funky ass pocket beats.

[@hectorsanaifric343]

Pocket deeper then a stitched up trouser leg

[@lmh6339]

This is awesome. And that drum mix is freaking incredible!!

[@BreckKitts]

WOW.... THE BEST !!!!!

[@4LowRocks]

Crushed it! Excellence right here folks. I was worried when the song first started - wondered who was going to sing the chorus, but Martin - great work. So musical this song - love it.

[@FabiodosSantosPY]

Awesome!!!!!

[@ChuloDavidcito]

That was so good, it's just about the most fun you can have with clothes on! Everything... vocals, solos, such drum funkiness. Wow.
