Glad you said this, cause I was just about to. I know that In the earliest days of televised rock, a lot of your life tv producers were a product of the Old School like Ed Sullivan, Hollywood Palace, Smothers Brothers...(What are they talking about, Grandpa???) and it was all pre programmed, rehearsed, and shot from the waist up, camera in a tight shot on the lead singers face. Multi Instrumental groups like Steely Dan, Chicago, Doobie Brothers, The Eagles they didn't know how to shoot them because the focus was more on the music. Ask much as I liked the Midnight special, it's why I always thought Don Kirshner's Rock Concert was a better show. Their camera crew how to shoot a rock band for a new younger demographic of TV audience.

You can claim "it had to be live" all you want (a very dubious claim to make about TV music broadcasts in the '70s - look around on KZbin and you'll find numerous people explaining why this is so), but that does nothing to explain how they accomplished the impossible in flawlessly duplicating the sound of the album. Others have already pointed out that the guitars are not even plugged in, so skip that part and consider the drums. Not only is the drum-playing note-for-note identical as the playing on the album (this is virtually impossible to accomplish, and any drummer who's familiar with the album will notice this right away), but the sound of the drums and even the cymbals is exactly the same as on the album. That never happens in real life, and how could they accomplish such a sound-engineering miracle without even using any microphones? They set up microphones for the singers because they knew that's what the viewing audience would notice, but the dozen or more microphones that would have been needed for the drums (along with the big, bulky microphone stands which would be reaching in from all directions) are conspicuously absent.

A great early lineup!...Singer David Palmer in front, Donald Fagen on keyboards, situated in the back stage because of his early, well documented issues with stage fright...Denny Dias and Jeff (Skunk) Baxter on guitar.,..Walter Becker on bass...The late, great, Jim Hodder on drums...

Yes. Song of my youth. Elliot Randall did the solo on this one. And Denny Dias did the solo on 'Do It Again'.

FANTASTIC! Still can't get enough after all these years! You've been telling me you're a genius ever since you were 17 And I'll the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned The things that pass for knowledge I don't understand

I thought were only studio musicians. Lovely to see them live at last! One of the best bands ever.

In the early years they were very much a band. Over time Steely Dan became mainly Fagen and Becker with a variety of studio musicians or touring musicians.

I love Steely Dan,I just wish this video would have been synced up with the actual playing of the lead licks,which it wasn't. Skunk Baxter should have been shown as playing lead on this song.

They both alternated leads except during the duet bridge.

Except Skunk isn't playing on this recording. That's the original recording with Elliott Randall.

By 1974, the music that I wanted to listen to was no longer being made. Steely Dan was there to fill the void left by the disappearance of progressive rock and psychedelic blues.

I think the camera men who took the video of this was so in-experienced!...It was Jeff Baxter who was doing the guitar solo intro and they were shooting the rhythm guitar man!...The intro guitar is the most exciting to listen and watch for!

All these guys are session musicians. Some of the best on the planet. Sooo good. Way ahead of their time as progressive rockers.
