Kim...absolutely nailed the backing vocals! The rest of the band performed the subtleties with perfection, a sign of great ears and sublime musicianship. Long ago I played in a funk and jazz-rock group covering many Steely Dan (and Tower of Power, Chicago, EW&F) gems, including this one. Though the keys man handled the support vocals with aplomb, without backing vocals it didn't have the "shine" like this. What makes it even better imo is that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Exquisite video.

I know it’s been a while, but think back to a summer festival. You hear a decent cover bands and you stop for a second and think, “That’ nice,” and then you just keep walking. If this group played a local festival, I would stay for hours. I don’t know where to begin with whom to salute first. The horn section is lovely. The drummer absolutely nailed the shuffle, I’m so jealous. The lead and bass guitarists were perfectly understated. The keyboardist, wow, I’ve listened to so many covers and no one comes close to his take. The lead vocalist was ideal for this song and he really did it justice. But I honestly think the MVP might be the backup vocalist. Is she a professional? I mean she literally could’ve stepped off the Steely Dan concert stage. Thank you so much for sharing, what a blessing!
