[@dougpeters1625]

They are walking on holy ground and this is a very respectable performance. Special kudos to the guitar solo.

[@88mphing]

That bass guitarist. She rules

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

I'm reading comments and this band is not out of tune or...off.A live performance is exactly that.Its not master mixed and every blemish removed in a studio. It's a very talented group playing without cheat sheets and lyrics in front of them.Which even Donald Fagan does.(not putting down chord sheets or lyrics I do it when needed also).and nailed a song most bands couldn't play. I am a trained musician and and I heard every one hit their marks.Once again this is not the album version it is a group of talented musicians doing their thing .. rock on

[@FenderBassMan]

@MrFourToTheBar It's an adventure that I'd begun some 30 years ago...and am still diving! I used to play in a jazz-rock, blues 'n funk band on the West coast (not the area/region that immediately comes to mind), and when our band founder and leader said, "Okay, dudes, we enter a new era: we're going to be adding Steely Dan into our repertoire, so I'm adding a horn section, too." I still remember taking a massive gulp, and then went about undertaking a musical exploration and undertaking that's been akin to a lifelong gift. It forced me to get back into sight-reading, playing what I hear, and improving what I thought were my already very good rhythmic abilities. Enjoy the journey, it'll be worth every frustrating moment, I promise!

[@Hue_Nery]

100%. I grew up in a household of musicians and Steely Dan set the standard. The fact alone that these folks are pretty well note for note with some embellishments in the guitar solo, should shut the haters up.

[@tracylf5409]

"I'm reading comments and see some haters in the room." "I'm reading comments and see some no-talent, armchair, non-musician, envious KB-warriors in the room." FIFY ;)

[@tomchrisfield7348]

I agree. This band is doing something that even Steely Dan didn't do until late in their careers, play a live show.

[@ER-me1ii]

Anyone bitching probably can’t play a c major chord on piano. This is phenomenal cover. And I’m a lousy musician but I try.

[@tpledger100]

The Bass player is in her own universe. Well done!!

[@ivorwm2291]

Jenifer is killing the bass. I love this ! It's fantastic music! It needs to be played and loved! Thanks

I am THE biggest Steely Dan fan that there is and these talented musicians NAILED it! Slam dunk!!!

[@harmonicres]

Recreating a classic like Peg this good is no easy feat and a high water mark for rare talent that can pull it off this well. Kudo's to the performers.

[@Musiclover-bg2nn]

Steely Dan is difficult to capture and this group did it very well. Their dissonant harmonies and sophisticated melodies are just so unique and a good ear and great musicians seems to have made it happen!!

[@robertjackson3819]

Who's mom is that playing the hell out of the bass? Well done, Madame. Not everyone can walk with the gods. This band just did. Beautiful piece of work.

[@sasha6009]

Holy crap - that IS Rick Moratta! I haven't seen him since the Behind The Music episode on VH1 on Steely Dan...what.. 20 years ago? Damn we're getting old. But Rick has always been one of my favorites. Glad to see he's still playing

[@jimfreeman5479]

it's unbelievable how such a talented band post this outstanding live perfomance viewed by more then 20 thousand times so far and get only 164 likes.. on top of that: 8 dislikes.. it's a truly underrated recognition and heartbreaking IMHO...

I know ... it’s wild. Anyway, we do it for the love of playing and the music. For those who are disappointed with our rendition all I can say is I’m sorry ... oh, and Blow Me!

[@granthurlburt4062]

@@jerrymarottadrums I bought every SD album as soon as it came out on vinyl, or later as a CD, and listened all the time. I saw SD play outside SCranton, PA in about 2004 and the band was like one huge well-integrated instrument. Unbelievable. And YOU GUYS ARE JUST GREAT! I play enough guitar to know how hard it is. Anyone who criticizes the great and original and honest job you do is ignorant. I've seen other cover bands on KZbin that arent nearly as good, including one hyper-slick team with a self-involved singer tht I couldnt bear. Keep it up!

[@jerrymammoser9857]

Rick Marotta, laying it down in prime fashion. So glad to catch him playing his signature tune live. Rick, you haven’t lost a step. Beautiful groove, I will be forever grateful to you for this groove. You’re my hero! Letting that right hand just drop...gorgeous groove.

[@jerrymammoser9857]

Thanks, Jerry!

[@ebenclukey7293]

As a full time musician of thirty five years, musical snob and huge fan of the Dan, I can truly appreciate that. Well played, and that's not easy. After all it's a song from the masters. Not at all schlocky. Straight forward representation. Thank you for it.

[@khermann63]

Well said! As a 10th-11th grader, ‘Aja’ opened my mind & ears to what great sounds like, and I proceeded to buy up any Steely Dan record, cassette, even recording straight off the radio, and later, replenish a collection w/ CDs, and later still with mp3. They’re also the motivation (along with Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler) to pick up my guitar and start playing again, after far too many years! That said, to Mr. Drew's comment - agreed "it ain't easy!” I've resigned myself to the fact that I’d need more than one lifetime to reach that level of expertise but I’ll just keep trying, regardless.

[@jairobarbosa4028]
