[@lindabergman3127]

They sound just like Steely Dan😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@dinodeveyra]

Closing my eyes, I'm back in grade school again, hanging with my childhood buddies* who turned me on to rock/jazz guitar and Steely Dan. I'm 61. *RIP Tonet Lipana

[@Honkey_Tonker]

I couldn’t agree more. Listening to this band puts a great big smile on my face. Very talented musicians.

[@paullehr9236]

The guitars, the bass, the keyboard, the drums, the vocals, all of it...amazing.

[@lindabergman3127]

It’s beautiful 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shelbydeguzman97]

Jeff Baxter and Deny Dias has been reborn!Very nice indeed!

[@Zibenlurr]

It takes some serious chops to pull off almost anything that Steely Dan made. Your bassist is on point with his groove! As usual, excellent job!

[@Shaken_AND_Stirred]

@Zibenlurr Well said. I totally agree with that.

[@paulbrown7369]

@@Shaken_AND_Stirred His work on the Boston songs was amazing.

[@Kalwren]

I love how talented their bassist is. Have you watched their video for Cult of Personality? 💯

[@b.vonschnauser207]

100% agree.

[@rockymntdan1]

Started a little choppy but after the first 10 seconds seemed like the band settled in. Was it one take on the video?

[@seanlester6500]

Thanks for letting Randy's bass stand out in your mix. What a groove!!!

[@shield8430]

Randy rules!!!

[@Honkey_Tonker]

Yes, the bass player kills it on every song I've heard. I'm a guitar player and love listening to his bass lines. Kudos to the whole band! Simply amazing.

[@paulhutchinson6552]

Randy is the MAN!

[@aa8ia-mike924]

[@lindabergman3127]

Absolutely right 🔥🔥🔥

[@dirkpittthegreat4559]

Indeed beautiful!

[@Iamironman76]

I don’t know why cover bands aren’t more respected. They do the same thing as big professional orchestras playing Beethoven, Bach, etc. and you will not hear a better version anywhere else than LLB. My fricking hero’s!

[@vincemarshall9520]

I never thought about Classical music is the same as playing covers! Well done!

[@redhed9776]

that guitar player killed it. wonderful voices. well done

[@Jon.......]

Which one? 🙂

[@batesm]

Killed it? That's an understatement!

[@allentumminello2343]

Can I get two claps and a Rick fair

[@billofjazz]

@@Jon....... How can you slight either. Those harmonies were 'Kick Ass."

[@markydo7]

​@@billofjazzWas going to mention the harmonies, then I saw your comment 😂👍

[@dellcrill6733]

I just don't see how it can get any better than this! Someone please explain to me how one group of musicians can nail these classic songs with such perfection over and over again. I haven't found one song in their vast collection that disappoints in anyway. Your all superstars!

[@donny4274]

Wow just wow!!! What an awesome performance. Just when you think LLB can’t get any better. What an amazing left handed player.

[@carlkingery9259]

One of the best covers of this song i have ever heard. You guys (and girls) are amazing. Keep up providing these covers for our full enjoyment. Thank you for doing this for us.

[@lindabergman3127]

Same

[@resipsaloquitur854]

Your Steely Dan covers are some of my favorites. I love seeing Jessica too, she always seems as though she's digging singing like it's the best part of her day!

[@AnthonyRothgeb]

These Musicians are NOT a Cover Band. They are true pros and play all their songs with complete originality. Thanks for allowing all of us to listen to your perfect versions of real music.

[@jbach4311]

Group Standing Ovation!! Jessica killing Backing Vocals!! Thanks for Reelin in another Dan for us!!

[@LancePeterman]

Just a delight to listen to. Playing Steely Dan is no small artistic feat, but y'all make it sound like it is your own. Well done!

[@VW5767]

Being a huge Steely Dan fan, everyone was on point! Awesome job as always everyone!

[@norcoauctions]

you have seen their other Steely Dan songs haven't you? Best on ebay. no one else even comes close. Not even Steely Dan could do it as well as LLB!

[@akasgsvirgil9503]

The drummer is damn metronome. Cudos on the snare tone and the overall production to whoever mixed it. Outstanding job!

[@dw3562]

Ticking like a clock great job

[@sr009]

LLB assembles SO much talent - I sit and smile (and a few tears) every time they play - it's such a pleasure to enjoy every performance - THANK YOU!

[@phineasyoungs6643]

Thanks for echoing my own sentiments regarding the collective talent of LLB. So much to acknowledge, appreciate and celebrate.

[@YoursTrulyC2]

Exactly!!

[@tankgrrl]

Adam Scott and Silent Bob make a great guitar team. 😋 Seriously, this was outstanding. Stephan absolutely killed that intro.

[@philipwilkie3239]

For the first time I heard the lyrics properly. A testament to high production standards.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Same. I didn't know that was the name of this song. 🤣 Had heard totally different words for so many years. "Are you really into me-eee"

[@adrianourbina8440]

Que excelentes covers hacen ustedes muchachos, felicidades, excelente banda. Deverian de hacer musica propia. Saludos desde Nuevo León, México.

[@MichaelTrogdon1990]

Steely Dan always had high production standards. You just can’t hear that well.

[@Marbleslite]

Are you reelin' in the years? Stowin' away the time Are you gatherin' up the tears? Have you had enough of mine Are you reelin' in the years? Stowin' away the time Are you gatherin' up the tears? Have you had enough of mine YES! Those are the words. Always heard them wrong.

[@KevinJStoll]

You guys did it again. Took a classic and made it your own. Well done LLB. Love it ! Shalom and love......

[@juanrestrepo7599]

Everyone was perfect. I especially liked the bass and the drummer. I’m a sucker for rhythm. Excelent job. Damn this was good.

[@johnkilgore1201]

Best Steely Dan tribute I've heard. Brings back memories.

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

This cover and their cover of Kid Charlemagne are insanely good

[@sparkplug0000]

I’m not sure why watching a left handed guitarist always seems like an alternative reality. And once again Vandy, I’d like to put my vote in for a video with more of Jessica dancing! Of course her singing is absolutely incredible, but if anyone has missed the little snippets of her dancing to a song she seems to particularly like, they’ve really missed out. Her dancing just exudes a genuine happiness in her that makes you cheerful just to watch.

[@jangoosen5407]

Out the park, cross the coast and off the planet! Brilliant work, LLB - the perfect way to start my Friday! No. 1 fan from Australia 😊

[@JudyIngram]

I’ve never heard this song covered and didn’t think this was possible. I bow to you guys.

[@moparedtn]

First of all, how ambitious a song to choose! Skunk Baxter is smiling to himself in front of a monitor somewhere... Wonderful job by everyone here - and Randy gets to tear it up some even! Love you guys... - Ed on the Ridge

[@The_Weissman]

Elliott Randall but yeah

[@moparedtn]

@@The_Weissman Skunk was rhythm. Yes, this is the famous "one take" Randall solo.

[@colsenball2949]

I am at a loss for words to describe my feelings of awe, respect, and admiration, so I will just say, "Well done, indeed. Bravo!" Love and Blessings to you all.

[@JC-cm9bn]

You can bet Walter Becker is looking down from heaven loving this! Great job LLB 👏 👏👏👏

Can’t get enough of watching just how much every single musician is LOVING what they’re doing. 😍 First Class talent. Thanks guys!

[@billbertagnoli4226]

Drummer is so tight. The backfills are precise. Drumming In the pocket is art unto itself 😊

[@DrLumpy]

A beautiful culmination of a few thousand hours of hard work and practice. Thanks musicians. Thanks for the attention to detail in all of your parts. Thanks Jessica and Benji for being so darn adorable. Every time I hear those big, multi part vox mix covers, I think Monday Monday, Creeque Alley, and California Dreamin'...🙂

[@redsoles174]

Listening with goose bumps all over! Amazingly well done as always!!! Bravo.....!!!!!

[@michaelc7880]

You guys rock, late 60’s and 70’s I grew up in that music.some of the best times of my life! Thanks for taking me back and helping me remember . I have been diagnosed with ALZ. Thanks for helping me remember some of the better times ! Keep on rocking.

[@imdubbs]

Great musicians all around. That's a tough song to cover. They nailed it!

[@Bpdrumr]

Excellent musicianship as always! As a drummer myself, I have to give huge props to the drummer.. he totally nailed that shuffle feel w/the ghost notes... 👏👏👏👏

[@billbelk7250]

My feet were shuffling, for sure! Drumming is clean and crisp!

[@broodmom]

Drummer here and yes!!!

[@michaelginever732]

Love this song. Once again you have produced a beautiful rendition. It sounds fresher than the original. The harmonizing guitars were always my favourite thing about the original and they sound great here. I love it. I'll listen again later today. Thank you all of you and particularly you 'Vandy. It's a big job putting it all together as you do.

[@davidtucker3008]

Steely Dan covers have to be some of the hardest tunes to pull off successfully, and you guys damn sure did it. I'll never get those solos down like that. Excellent performance.

[@SlowhandGreg]

Jeez that Gibson has a tone and a half

[@NancyKeeling]

No doubt

[@redneckReno]

you guys are fast becoming my new favorite band, no matter who slots in and what band you cover!! you guy are awesome!!

[@pilotoespacial3000]

claps to that lefty!!!

[@dmichaelelkins1]

I am going to keep requesting that you do “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” until you do it. It seems like a natural for you guys!

[@karma3101]

Real music, made with real musicians and vocalists.

[@Boomer04151961]

Steely Dan, not an easy band to cover yet you all accomplished it flawlessly!! Cudos to the solid "Purdy Shuffle" done by Mr. Tucker Wilson!! Great job to all once again!!

[@paulbrown7369]

What a wonderful tribute to a real classic. Thanks, LLB!

[@Paul.Douglas]

Wait! That was a cover?!?! So well done!

[@StreetsOfVancouverChannel]

Mighty damn fine snare sound and hittin'! Fab performance, y'all!

[@tnoutdoors9]

Goosebumps commenced from the opening guitar riff and they burst when the harmonies kicked in.

[@ivanalmora1267]

!! Q buena banda Lexington.... Buenos músicos y vocalista de tremendo tema del Gran Steely Dan de los 80's.

[@scottbatson8721]

Nothing but love for you all! ♥️👍👍♥️😁 Man on the guitar absolutely phenomenal. All are A1all the way! 🤟

[@harrytackett1645]

LLB is a (reincarnation), if you will, of yesterdays' great music and song, performed masterfully. Thank you all.

[@ScottPykare]

BRAVO 👏. Always a sincere pleasure to listen to you LLB!!

[@JayDuke-r2d]

I think I enjoy these versions more than the originals.

[@ChrisAndrew-l1d]

Not nearly enough love shown to the mixing of this masterpiece. OMG so much care has been taken with the levels, the sounds, everything to make it exactly like the recording. Superb. Lead singer also seems underappreciated for that incredible effort. Gorgeous backup vocals, duelling guitars so well synchronized , bass and drums and keyboards all superb as well. I thought I had reached the pinnacle with Leonid and Friends but you are right up there. Great job all.

[@peeringatu]

You don't tackle Steele Dan without knowing what you're doing! Congrats, you nailed it.

[@greenbudkelly2820]

Randy is definitely in the zone with this one. When he drops the pick you know it’s a favorite of his.

[@Tbug666]

This is yet another great song played so well. I would love to hear the Lexington Lab Band play “Rikki Don’t Lose that Number” in the future. Steely Dan was so underrated and I think you guys would do it justice, as you do with all of your renditions. Thanks for posting these. It inspires me even though I’m 61 years old, to plug into my PA with my acoustic and play for hours and sing. Music, especially music from the 60s, 70s and 80s will always be the best overall. So much diversity from a time we should never forget.

[@philstubblefield]

My favorite Steely Dan song, and one of the top guitar duets of all time! Well done, all! 👍👍

[@dannyholder9452]

Another fantastic toe tapping song performed by the BEST cover on KZbin!!! Always good to see Jessica knocking out some kickass vocals!!!

[@sclewell777]

I've got chills. SPOT ON PERFECTION. I Closed my eyes and it was if Steely Dan were playing it. My favorite song that have ever done. Thank you.

[@ttown918]

Love the dude playing the red guitar. He makes me think of a guy who's been practicing forever at home and then someone said come play with us and he just slays it while having a ton of fun doing it. Even the bass guy at one point looked over and smiled. :)

[@TheBent139]

There is never a weak link with LLB. You bring in new players and they fall right into the groove. This Is as good as the previous Steely Dan set, and that is a high compliment. Kudos to all!

[@oldjarhead386]

I’m watching these videos thinking “man these aren’t beginner songs they are playing!”. Fantastic musicianship!

[@ScubaOz]

Hats off to the Guitarist on this for sure, Y'all did a wonderful job, great vocals, old school drummer for sure, he was kicking it OG. You guys always make my day🤪

[@glennhansen3046]

I'm running out of adjectives to describe how brilliant you performed this very difficult song! Amazing!

[@dan4345]

Super talented musicians. Makes you have an even greater respect for those that created these tunes.

[@rustysprouse118]

Great Job!! Love the Masters cap, Tucker! 🤟🥁🏌️‍♂️

[@ttman1233]

The only diss I can think of is that it doesn't sound muddled like my old scratched up record and crappy speakers I had when I was younger. 😂

[@Alabama_Kurt]

Imagine driving down Highway 231 into Florida in a suped up 1969 Ford Mustang Mach l in 1975 with this blasting on the radio! I lived it! 17 forever!

[@marcwarrick]

close your eyes and flashback and enjoy the way it was YEAH!!!!

[@Oklahoman-in6ph]

This whole band is FABULOUS, But let me Buy that lead Guitar a drink... 👍👍👍

[@robertbourke7935]

Absolutely brilliant LLB! Love it!

[@TCS088]

OMG! That was amazing! You guys (and gal) knocked it out of the park.

[@veiloeperen]

Try to cover the guitar-solo and you’ll quickly realise how many years it takes to play it this perfectly🙂

[@iamrichrocker]

one of the best guitar solos in music..and you guys sound like the original..bravo..

[@f14flyer11]

OH Vandy, you and the gang do it again...awesome awesomeness......SWEEEET

[@BingBangBye]

Absolutely fantastic!!🤩 We can all be grateful that after Becker and Fagan tried out several different guitarists for the solo, Elliott Randall finally showed up.

[@mbeenz]

Brilliant Simply Brilliant! Many Thanks!👍👍🎼🎼🍺🍺🍺

[@bossb2539]

My favorite band…brilliant! Production; talent, soul, wow….!

[@genewilliams617]

Good stuff for sure!!!! The melodic harmony is beautiful, and the Allman Brothers vibe on the guitars...sweet. So easy on the ears, and pleasant to hear. It's been too many years, glad this came up in my feed.

[@JasonMcNamara]

Fućķ me dead!!! That was utterly sublime. The musicianship, the vocals, the video production, the audio production, the space you were in… sheer perfection ❤

[@nathanfrisby3133]

Just simply brilliant job of covering a great classic.

[@davep670]

Here's the deal. 75 years old, garage band in HS, experienced the best rock EVER. And thought it was gone years ago. NOW, groups like LLB, HCSS and L&F are breathing life back into my spirit. Man, the music is actually better than it was originally, thanks to tech. I've been set free to ROCK ON.

[@larserickson2862]

That was blazing! You couldn’t perform that any better, Wow!

[@williamharvey697]

Damn! Nailed it! Grew up with that music - brings back many good memories. You guys most definitely rock!

[@stevefraser8411]

I stumbled upon LLB several years ago now and have been truly blessed by their talent and the people they attract to perform with them, My Spotify is full of their songs

[@phill.2924]

Jimmy Page was reported to have said that he has high appreciation for this song because of "how difficult the solo is to play." Kudos to LLB for pulling this off in style.

[@verjim69]

Way to go everyone, another great rendition! Really really good!

[@jameshogan1871]

[@lindabergman3127]

Yep I’m addicted to them😂❤

[@JeffStrange-l9w]

Steely Dan were one of my all time favourite bands as a teenager and still are, their music has been acclaimed as technically difficult, you nailed it especially your guest guitarist in the cap albeit l have not seen him in any other appearances

[@josecornell9523]

Your cover of this song blew me out of my seat....awesome

[@jacksonrsneed]

This drummer is gettin it done! Love how solid his backbeats are and how perfectly he sits on top of the groove.

[@BigEasyPatriot]

WOW! Now that’s a group of seriously tight professional musicians!!! Incredible job guys

[@randygrebel1539]

Great version and great strumming beat. Always loved this NRPS song.

[@philgriswold2133]

Phew!, mere words escape me. Phenomenal, Outstanding, Excellent. The cleanest cover ever of the cleanest rock band ever. Steely Dan stands alone in this style of rock and the LLB damn sure did themselves proud. Amazing.

[@BigJimSlade67]

The Greatest Band on the Planet! WOW!

[@Ralph2]

As a musician I admired Steely Dan immensely. Funny then that I never really got off on their music. Probably proves I'm not much of a musician 🤣. Great version, you guys never fail to deliver.
