Steely Dan performed two times on Late Show: 1. October 20, 1995: "Josie" 2. March 3, 2000: "Cousin Dupree" Both performances in full and glorious stereo. For Walter.

What they did was such a rarity though. Two guys who were freakishly gifted at songwriting, and also into beatnik culture and old jazz music, took that sensibility into the rock music idiom of that era. The result is this deadpan, effortlessly cool and often quite biting music that exists in its own dimension. It's hard to imagine such a thing (or anything close to it) happening again in music, that attitude they had doesn't really exist in the modern day with my generation. There have of course been several amazing bands over the last 25 years or so but they're nothing like SD.

As a teenage saxophone player in the 70's & 80's hooked on jazz, surrounded by rock, and somewhat intrigued by punk/new wave, I was totally captivated by Steely Dan. Despite the AM radio air play of "Reelin' In the Years", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", and "Peg" (the only Steely Dan songs I ever heard on the radio), it was "Bodisatva", "Dr. Wu", "Don't Take Me Alive", "FM", and my all time favorite "Black Cow" that intrigued me, got me through finals at college, and gave me comfort. The sophistication of their chord progressions alone were exhilarating, but when combined with Phil Woods' tasty sax solos, Becker & Donnie Diaz's crying guitar licks, and the memorable echos of Michael McDonald's voice, well I just surrendered to it. And yet there was more: the art of sarcasm redefined through their provocative lyrics. I mean not just profound poetry (e.g. "Reelin' in the Years", "Black Cow"), self deprecating introspection (e.g. "Deacon Blues", "Brooklyn", "Any World"), or drug fueled mayhem (e.g. "Doctor Wu", "Kid Charlemagne"), but unforgettable imagery with phrases like "Kick off your high-heeled sneakers", "Just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl", and "Every man and beast appeared a friend as real as I". Walter Becker and Donald Fagen: you got me, I bopped and cruised to rock, I danced at clubs to New Wave, but I "thought" to the perfect fusion of jazz and rock that had but one master: the Dan of Steel. In a truly sardonic irony, the fate suffered by Walter Becker puts him in a league with Michael Angelo, Van Gogh, Beethoven, Billie Holiday, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and other twisted geniuses the world has loved and lost.

By the late summer of '73 every club band worth a damn was trying their best to cover "Reelin' In the Years," "Dirty Work" and even "My Old School" from their second album. They became for me in the '70s what The Beatles had been in the '60s. My wife and I were lucky to see their April 1974 tour stop at the U. of Toledo … their last tour as a real band.

Being a musician (and getting paid for it too!) for a couple of decades, I watch videos of my heroes - such as Steely Dan - and imagine having lived their life. And then I get sad because my life isn't anywhere near what theirs was. And then I'm reminded that the imagination, and the world it takes me to is way better than having lived their reality with all of the suffering and struggles that came with it. Rarely do very gifted people feel as though their lives are gifted. Maybe they would look at my life and imagine living it.

They're playing live and is absolutely perfect. Can't get any tighter. It's super hard for a band to be that tight and the sound that perfect. That's why you rarely hear it. These guys are the best. Hat's off to the Sam Donaldson Orchestra!

Yes - the Rock Professor. Old Walt's probably laying there thinking, "I shouldn't have worn those white sneakers. What was I thinking?"

Considering how much production went in to their music in the studio it’s as much a testament to their talents to sound so good/tight, live. And that means everyone playing.

For a genius level guitarist, Walter always looked so unassuming. Reminds me of one of my history teachers in high school. Love both the teacher.... and the the professor aka The late great Walter Becker.You are sorely missed by this history buff sir. RIP
