REACTION COMPILATION | Steely Dan - Peg | Reaction Mashup

[@WonderMommaOG]

💬 SURPRISE! 😅 I just couldn’t stop working on these! I just worked on it locally from my computer despite not having much space to do so and my new hard drive arrived yesterday. So that’s the good news. And there’s more good news… In case you missed it ( kzbin.infoUgkxJHIv0SizXDbveVZXsScUWPgT5XiyElGt ) my hard drive crashed and I lost access to all of my work, the finished Boston - Foreplay/Long time video and a bunch of other stuff. Just today, the drive’s manufacturer has agreed to perform a data recovery service on it free of charge for me. My data recovery plan expired a year ago, but they are making a one time exception… which really made my day! The only drawback is there’s no guarantee I’ll get anything back and if I do, it could take up to 30 days to get it returned to me. That’s ok. I’ll take what I can get. As far as artwork… I will just do what I did for this video… create new artwork as I need it. I’m really hoping that I get my finished Boston video back and I don’t have to start that one completely over! There is also no “Making of” portion of this video as I didn’t have the space resources to record the process. I was going to make “25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago my next project… but most of the reactions to it are to the live Tanglewood version and the quality of the audio is not that good. I might have to push this one off for a while. So I’m moving on to yet another epic song by yet another epic band! Onto the next! 💜

Steely Dan is like the subtle music played on a cruise in the backround while your sipping on a cocktail, every song hits

[@amberthomas4839]

That’s why the music is called yacht rock

[@PureMetalBanzai]

The level of Musicianship on this record is NEXT LEVEL. The best studio musicians of all time are on this record. This takes me back. AWESOME choice Momma

[@maggynewtown3500]

Sorry. Must disagree. The studio musicians of all time were in Philadelphia. At Sigma Studios. They were called MFSB.

[@peterbulloch4328]

In 1980 I was 18years old, left my country in NSW Australia to get work at a steel works factory in Newcastle. Stayed at my aunty and uncles house while my cool older surfer dude cousin went on an overseas trip. He had a stereo in the living room so one day I picked out one of his albums (they were warped by the sun) and to my surprise they played perfectly. What I didn't know about was Steely Dan, when I heard them for the first time I was blown away. I quickly bought as many of their albums I could afford and while I'm now 61 years old still love every track by them when I hear it!

[@sonitawong7993]

Me too, I was blown away the first time I heard this song Peg, and the rest of their music...

[@jerrychiles7752]

Reminds me of a time when we all played together , danced together, and loved together ,great times...Thanks for the memories ❤❤❤❤❤❤

TIMELESS!!!I This song will get folks grooving generations from now😀

[@michellegriffith4200]

Momma you couldn't go wrong with Stealy Dan. Classic, smooth, good times.

[@selbord1]

Michael McDonald was a studio keyboardist and songwriter, with his soulful voice & keys became a member of Steely Dan (1973-1974) but never recorded his music with them, He then joined the Doobie Brothers (1975-1982, 1987, 2019-present). wrote and sang several hit singles. As for Stelly Dan (Donald Fagen, Walter Becker), they became the industry standard of the highest regard. Becker and Fagen played together studying at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, moved to Los Angeles, gathered a band of musicians, and began recording. Their first, Can't Buy a Thrill (1972), blends elements of rock, jazz, Latin music, R&B, blues, and sophisticated studio production.

[@Fuphyter]

I love Steely Dan ❤ I was 13 in 1970. I love so many artists. The first time I heard Reeling In The Years, I was blown away. I bought every album. I sang in bands and acoustic gigs in the 70s. I wanted to do some Steely Dan, they were all like "are you kidding?" Not easy to pull off.

[@poweredbyjoymusic]

What a brilliant idea to compile these reactions! I believe I’ve seen them all before, but it’s so great to see them in one spot and so well edited and put together. Thank you!!!

[@unitoolzee]

Man, that buttery bass line. ❤

[@anitasmith4559]

Once you hear Steely Dan, you will always have it.

[@anonagain]

The bass (played by Chuck Rainey) ) is mind-blowing. And the use of space in both the music and the mixing/mastering is amazing. Genre? It's a mash-up of rock/jazz/funk/soul, often with a touch of sarcasm and cynicism - both music and lyrics.. Pretty much their own sound. Thanks for the reactions!

[@bct1959]

...don't forget the cocaine and divorce papers.

[@FUBAR1986]

Aja! Loved to play Steely Dan on Sunday mornings when i lived at the beach...great way to start a relaxing day !!! Love that Michael McDonald is singing on this track! So i heard that Donald Fagan said at one time..."imagine that Peg takes place at a seedy photo shoot in LA in the 1950s...and that it all comes from the perspective of a jilted boyfriend who was still hanging around...and how it will come back to her." When i think of it that way the lyrics really bring the meaning forward...great choice Wondermomma! You are the best! ❤Thank you so much for the memories!!! Love you! ❤❤

[@dansavoie5087]

My favorite band since my friend Tom O'Malley in 1973 on his family's turntable said "listen to the guitar in this song". That song was "My Old School". I have never tired of listening to Steely Dan.

The Dan never cheaped out on the guitar work, for real.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

The pure musicianship of Steely Dan is incredible. They have such an iconic and unique sound! My mom's name is Ricki (short for Fredericka) and one of the first songs I remember hearing and liking as a child was Rikki Don't Lose That Number, because my mom thought it was a hoot that her name was in it. On a weirder note, I wonder if any of these people know where they got their band name from? 😂

It is so cool to see these reactions. This is the music from my college days. We had sooooo much incredible music in the 1970's. I'm glad to see this generation reacting to Steely Dan the way we did when it was released. Peg is one of their best. You can never go wrong with The Dan.

Thanks Momma ❤ I really appreciate what you do so much ❤

[@streghewitch77]

I am a massive Steely Dan fan. My children probably grew up being sick of hearing them. There's just no possible way to put this song on and not smile and have the groove grab your booty. Steely Dan was a once in a lifetime experience. There is not been a band like them before or since. I've not seen a band fuse jazz funk and Rock, other than them...so seamless. Michael Mcdonald from the Doibie Brothers singin backup was that icing on the cake!!
