Everyone's favorite band has a favorite band and it's Steely Dan.

[@SpuzzyLargo]

"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" was another huge hit for this unique sounding team.

[@diceau]

yes loved this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZLbfqWwp9Ctrassi=qN96GK16sQR3jGjF

[@stuBdoc]

This version cuts out the great keyboard solo that follows the guitar (actually, electric sitar) solo. You should find the uncut version and listen again. Steely Dan has dozens of outstanding songs, all different, all brilliant, and always with very cynical and often cryptic lyrics. Don't miss Kid Charlemagne.

[@SpuzzyLargo]

Yeah, this edited version sucks!

[@sourisvoleur4854]

And it's not live, they've just synced (badly) the radio version onto a live video. Worst is that they make it look like Palmer is doing the vocals when it's actually Fagan.

[@richardscratcher6075]

Not so much "cuts out" as "hacks out" ☹

[@zimjun7]

THAT'S what I thought!!

[@irgounemeth4645]

The Royal Scam is a pure diamond too!

[@SpuzzyLargo]

Imagine hearing the gorgeous original version where the audio isn't chopped up and edited like this one here. 😢

[@mayLibertyprevail1a]

Yes--please do yourselves a favor and find the long version to listen to!

[@briangray00]

It's butchered, the video is "illustrative" ; there's enough to get this lovely couple interested. They should do more and get properly invested.

[@jordan390a]

The short version again...There is a longer version on the album...

[@ralphwheeler8534]

Steely dan rules

[@Ollie-h1n]

A HUGE hit in the fall of 1972. I remember. Its about a compulsive gambler.

[@d4mdcykey]

Steely Dan is THAT band who created such a unique sound you never forget it; moves the body, relaxes the mind. Also, if you have a dark sense of humor, look up where they got the name for the band from, and why...LOL.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

We just found out 😂

[@larryhelmeczy4320]

Steely Dan was a full band initially but then dissolved to their 2 main talents, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen plus very talented studio musicians. Not too long ago I saw you do a Chick Corea video and you expressed difficulties following it. Even though Steely Dan was a "rock" band they have chord progressions and sophistication often found in jazz. They would be another good warmup for a jazz novice. Try "Rikki, Don't lose that Number" or "Aja" There's a ton of songs that veer away from straight rock, particularly on their later albums. "Aja" has some great jazz playing on it.

[@guyhenderson405]

Such a huge rabbit hole.....throw a dart, hit a song, you will not be disappointed. I like Josie, FM, Kid Charlemagne, Dirty Work, My Old School.

[@derricktrottier6763]

one of the best quotes ive ever heard on tv was.. "give me a gun and i can rob a bank, give me a bank and i can rob the world"

[@drogusmaxwell6640]

The Dan is definitely one of the most unique rock sounds in any decade.

[@joejoesguitarinventions]

...reelin in the years ...rikki don't lose that number ...hey 19 ...peg ...fm ...josie.... and about 20 more ---- that guitar lead is one of the best ever enjoy !!

[@williamcabell142]

One of the GIANTS of the 70’s…true Jaz/Rock fusion! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@joymoore1904]

Perfection.

[@ssacra22]

An English friend of mine was a sound engineer with bands like The Eurthymics and Tears for Fears....he said of Steely Dan that they were most known to be one of the greatest recording bands of all-time because they were so well schooled and methodical. I saw them live and thought they were brilliant

[@markmurphy558]

They have 7 or eight albums with this quality and musicianship. They are considered jazz infused soft rock, but if you listen carefully, you will find extraordinary guitar work and sophisticated drumming. Many in the US use SD as a way to distinguish themselves from your run of the mill headbanger's. A bit of a snob thing. I just think it is good music.

[@JayyeStone]

Their catalog is pretty deep and they kind of became their own genre of music IMO. This is a great road trip song. Reelin' in the Years is a pretty good one.

[@dagmar.6954]

Steely Dan is a great American rock band founded in 1971. They had a lot of great hits such as "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Hey Nineteen", "Peg", "Dirty Work", "Josie", "Aja", "Kid Charlemagne", "Reelin' In The Years", "Deacon Blues", "FM", "Show Biz Kids", "My Old School", "Babylon Sisters" etc."

[@williamcabell142]

They are Rock/Jazz Fusion! 🤨Wow you know all the songs😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@claimguy]

One of the "vibe"-iest songs ever. It just grabs you, wraps that groove around you, and refuses to let go. These boys could JAM

[@Coolrockndad]

Try any tune from the album "Aja" by Steely Dan. "Black Cow", "Deacon Blues", "Peg", "Aja", "Josie". You'll love them all.

[@helenespaulding7562]

I’m surprised you hadn’t heard this band before now on your channel. Super popular. One of the best debut albums ever ( Can’t Buy a Thrill). Jazz infused soft rock with sometimes allot of funk. A staple of “yacht rock” playlists these days. They used top LA studio musicians for most of their run. Unique sound. Total perfectionists and top production quality.

[@kevinjones4559]

Every time I listen to this notice something new. 1971 was the start of the music centre and the album. 71 thought of as being the greatest year in music (see David Hepworth's book)

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

Good choice….. sad that this was the radio edit, missed the middle section.

[@johnharris6087]

Steely Dan is a rabbit hole with a massive collection of great music and were one of the biggest bands of the 70’s. Almost every record collection had Steely Dan in it back in the day.

[@debbiechang5781]

Steely Dan music is in a class by itself. Amazing in every possible way. 🌺✌️

[@paul00390]

"Bodhisattva", "Reeling In The Years", "My Old School". So many to hear.

[@jefferyshute6641]

Down a very deep rabbit hole. The entire "Aja" album, especially the song, "Aja." "Big Black Cow," "Dirty Work," "Show Biz Kids," "Deacon Blues," "Peg," "My Old School," "Hey Nineteen," "Josie," well, you get the idea. All great.

[@JoeCruz-hs2yt]

steely dan has lots of great songs !

[@golfr-kg9ss]

Steely Dan has a very unique sound for 70s bands. One of the reasons they standout so much.

[@gcats6059]

Funny, I was talking about SD this past weekend with a friend. My friend commented that SD had a reputation as being difficult to deal with. I told my friend, Well, that may have been the case, but they were a true 70s rock fusion band that stayed true to their "thing" and their distinct sound. They are unmistakable.

[@raycewilliams3300]

I believe that Steely Dan quite often exercise "poetic license" in many of their songs. They will often use metaphors and at times are cryptic. As I recall the 70's I do not remember a lot of "rock" bands using congas and shakers. Santana comes to mind. I have always had a hard time labeling Steely Dan as a rock band. They are masters at mixing genre's into their music. Great reaction. Take care....

[@tammyjones8111]

Dirty work is my fav Steely Dan song

[@757optim]

"Rikki, don't lose that number You don't wanna call nobody else Send it off in a letter to yourself"

[@Boss-hw2ve]

On the same album with Do It Again was a song called Dirty Work. I recommend it, and they have so many great songs. There is a song called "Peg" that is absolutely wonderful! The whole album called "Aja" is fantastic!!

[@cjrory]

LOVE Steely Dan, and you are right to love them so much! Please also check out Babylon Sisters and Kid Charlemagne. Thanks for another great upload ❤️

[@mikemiller3069]

There is a piece of the song missing near the beginning. I don't know if you edited it or just watched a bad lyric version. But the intro should have been a little longer and some words were missing

[@79BlackRose]

@@mikemiller3069 The entire keyboard solo is missing! It is a dumb video and a dumb recommendation. 🙄

[@Leslie-d4e]

Love Steely Dan ❤

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

Dominika and Andre I was in high school 1969-1972, there was so much music 🎶 then it was an expression of a larger population, the baby boomers 👶 born 1946-1964 the more people you have, the larger the talent pool. It was creative and experimental, the feel of the Hippies and the start of the sexual revolution, the music was an expression of the changing times. Peace✌️ ☮️ and Love❤️ Gary😊 I had the album in college Steely Dan "Can't Buy a Thrill" it had "Do it Again" the whole album is great! PEACE✌️

[@dropfishboogie3869]

A lot of great tunes by Steely Dan. ..you can pick any of them.

[@attaboy95425]

Steely Dan has so many great songs. So many hits "Ricky don't lose that number, Reeling in the years" just to name a few but if you really want to be blown away you should check out "My old school" it has the wildest guitar solo you will ever hear. Some of the coolest horns and a cowbell you will find infectious . you won't be sorry, All the best......

[@SeaMark782]

Some of the finest music ever produced is by Becker & Fagan, dba, Steely Dan. Composers of music, always the original. The genre is SD.

[@Straydogger]

The song "Aja" from the album of the same name is widely regarded as their masterpiece. The album is praised by many as the best-produced and best-sounding album.

[@KOLLIS1969]

Every piece, exactly how and where it should be, all the time, every time, album after album......THAT is Steely Dan.

[@iandxx]

thank you for a great reaction - steely dan are an aladdin's cave of treasures - they made so many great records - can i suggest "any major dude will tell you", "black cow" or "rikki, don't lose that number" - thanks again!

[@darrylguerrant5101]

I do not know why they did it this way? However, the lead singer throughout Steely Dan's time and even today is Donald Fagen. It's his voice recorded for the song 'Do It Again' only. They ran the recorded version over a live performance here. At the time they had David Palmer who was a short time vocalist for their first album. Obviously, Plmaer was there for this performance. But it looks like Palmer was doing the lead vocals and Fagen backing Palmer at "You go back Jack, do it again..." Palmer did lead vocals for the song 'Dirty Work' from the same album, 'Çan't Buy A Thrill'. Fagen and Palmers voices are completely different. Then and only then did Fagen back anyone else besides himself. The other band members they had who could do the job were there to back Fagen. That's why this threw me for a bit

[@randytorres8211]

Brings back memories of one of my favorite concerts at the Terrace Ballroom back in 1972 when Steely Dan was early in their career and this song was popular. The other band performing (Doobie Brothers) was also get their start to long career.

[@SeaMark782]

Ha, I saw them a few times in 1974 with the new kid, Jeff Porcaro, on drums, he was always on fire. We knew back then that SD were special. Timeless music we found out.

[@em17jayvee]

Do your self a favor and check out the audio version. Parts were edited from this version. Must listen to Reelin’ In The Years.

[@Ajonr]

This was the first Steely Dan song to hit the FM airwaves. That was enough for me - I was a fan for life. (Still am.) Their lyrics are chock full of allusions and hidden meanings, but ultimately their songs all tell a story. The Dan of Steel did not have a set lineup - "they" were Walter B and Donald F, and they sought out the best of the best artists to work with, often varying the line up in the same album. Their engineering was cutting edge. Every album was different - new sounds, new styles, etc. Steely Dan are the artists' artists. As for which songs next - start with the album Can't Buy a Thrill (first album), grab anything from there. Then move on to Countdown to Ecstasy and do the same. At some point you will need to back up and listen to everything from each album - there isn't a bad cut on a one of them. This is a rabbit hole you will not regret diving into.

[@WooBino.]

I'm thrown not knowing Fagan is/was not signing lead.

[@Ajonr]

@@WooBino. Back in the day he was EXTREMELY self-conscious about his singing. He also was a bit camera shy, and this is a "live" (i.e. lip-synced) performance.

[@williamr9537]

Steely Dan as you heard and saw is not your typical rock band having their own unique sound. They were great musicians and their songs had such great instrumentations and variety. One of my favorite songs of theirs is 'My Old School' which also had a great groove with mind blowing solos.

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

Andre, you understood the theme of the song perfectly. Not all of Steely Dan's lyrics are easy to figure out, but you can always count on superb musicianship, a great groove, and a jazz influence in virtually all of their songs. They really are a cream-of-the-crop band. So happy you liked this; they have so many more great songs to enjoy! (EVERYONE seems to love their song "Peg".)

[@JamesDolen-dn6wz]

I like Rikki Don't Lose That Number

[@jenniferbabros1985]

Only A Fool Would Day That is another great song of STEELY DANS songs

[@TheMinster1960]

Steely Dan is an excellent band that released seven albums between 1972 and 1980. Donald Fagen (keyboards/vocals) and Walter Becker (guitar/bass) were the primary writers in the band. In fact, by the end of the decade there really wasn't a Steely Dan group as it was just Donald and Walter in the studio with whatever musicians they decided to use for a particular album. They stopped touring in 1975. Other songs to check out include Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Showbiz Kids, Reelin' In The Years, Bodhisattva, Black Friday, Doctor Wu, Aja, Deacon Blues, Gaucho and Time Out Of Mind. And there's lots more where those tunes come from.

[@LordEagle]

"FM", “Hey Nineteen” “Do It Again” “Peg” for starters.

[@bd200]

My favorite band. Donald Fagen (singer) had stage fright in the early days, so they had the guy front the mic for this video (this version was a severe cutdown from the original)... Steely Dan is a fascinatingly awesome rabbit hole... Hard to pigeonhole a genre for them... Check out "Kid Charlemagne" or "Deacon Blues"... So many great songs... Donald Fagen also had a fantastic solo career, so check out his songs "IGY" or "New Frontier."

Love that you all checked this song out! This is one of my favorite songs made by Steely Dan, but of course, they have many other great hits that make you groove and move!! You guys should check out "Peg" by Steely Dan. It's gonna have you guys dancing!

[@colibri1]

The audio you're hearing here is the studio release edited to fit this live performance video. They completely edited out a spacey-sounding keyboard solo that comes after the guitar/sitar solo in the middle. If you have a chance, you should go back and listen to the full studio release to hear that. You would love it. This song was a big radio hit in the early seventies, but their sound changed with the times. Try their equally big 1977 hits "Peg" and Josie" for an equally impressive but pretty different sound.

[@kimcutts6153]

[@richeaton5752]

(another rabbithole) In '75, I turned 18, graduated HS, and could buy beer. I saw Jaws in the theater and the Frampton "Comes Alive" tour in the summer, but the absolute highlight of the year was seeing The Who with Mooney in November. I've seen The Stones twice and Zep once, but that is still my favorite concert memory. Great year! I saw the Tommy tour twice in '89 and saw them once again in the early 2000s, before John passed. I liked Tommy, but Quadrophenia and this tune, Naked Eye, is what turned me into a Who fan. Because you always dig into the lyrics, here's another 10 from Pete Townshend. (and some of his best lead playing) It's Kenny Jones on drums, not Mooney, but still great. Genius lyrics. The Who Naked Eye kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaK0dI2EjMaAeLs RIP Mooney and John. Thank You!

[@GS-xt8fu]

Steely Dan. Classic. Great singer songwriters……instrumentalist. Wonderful

[@steve4562]

You just found Steely Dan? I envy you. Best concert I ever saw was Steely Dan in 1975(?) in Mt. Pleasant Michigan. Students went nuts so they did THREE encores. To top it off the band was spotted after midnight at the area's only 24/7 restaurant. Missed it, drat (too stoned).

[@sirbisket8775]

If you keep listening to these songs pretty soon you are going to find yourself including the 50's, 60's, and 80's as well in your 70's standard of music, it's all good. people actually living their lives and writing about it compared to people now watching other people live their lives, many already dead, is the extent of people's creativity today.

[@markmurphy558]

Steely Dan was an unusual band, in that after their first album, they basically were the two founders, Brecker and Fagen, and a revolving group of studio musicians. As a result, they didn't tour live, and never achieved superstardom back in the day. They were very respected by other musicians, and it looked good on your resume if you played on one of SD's albums.

[@rickeylucero3955]

Ok. This was the studio version. Not live. They put the studio music to a live performance vid. Always do the studio for Steely Dan.

[@benengle2279]

Dear friends.....thanks for your review. If you are just now discovering Steely Dan, you are certainly in for a treat. One of my favorite bands. There are a number of other songs you might consider. How about Josie and FM?

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

Thanks for this! Very insightful to recognize what you still have yet to hear from the '70's, even though you have heard so much. There were so many different artists that all had to play live consistently to survive. It was an entire world industry of local bands breaking out to regional/national/international. Others you may not have heard that are great: Talking Heads, Earth Wind and Fire, Aerosmith, Paul Simon, Kool and the Gang, Hall and Oates, The Doobie Brothers...These are examples of acts that made very good music over years in the '70's (and '80's) as well as selling out 15-20K venues every show. There are many more!

[@tammywhite5742]

Steely Dan have their own unique sound, they mix jazz, funk, rock, blues and much more into their music. My favorite Steely Dan song is “FM-No Static at All” but other greats are “Black Cow” @Babylon Sister” and “ Deacon Blues” but they but have dozens of great songs!!! Enjoy the rabbit hole!!!
