Wow! This is my favourite SD song! Oh wait, ... every time I see SD or a tribute band perform any of their songs, I feel the same way. I guess this means, ... they're all great? That must be why I think SD is the best band, ever.

[@AlbertoVO5]

Wow. Perfect balance of faithful and interpretive. Lucky to have that lead vox too. If you’re gonna cover Dan you gotta show up and these guys did.

[@andyinoregon]

Hard to believe that Becker & Fagen considered their 2nd album "a rush job" with songs this perfect on it. The guitar interplay here between Frank and Sean sounds even better than I remember from Skunk and Denny at Steely Dan's U. of Toledo concert on April 21, 1974.

[@woodrowwilkins149]

Wow! Just wow.

[@jstanley279]

Now that’s some great 70’s hair 😃!!! Sounds great guys 😉

[@47lets-go-brandon]

HOLY smokes! Man, You guys are tight! A+ ! Donald Fagan should be dropping a dime!

[@caretakerfoch6103]

Worthy. So worthy. One of my favourite SD numbers. Not disappointed.

[@jimbouwens1854]

I can listen to, and watch you guys for hours.

[@billlivezey9355]

The Lab is chill, the licks are tasty, it ain’t no drag.

[@georgedobbs2860]

perfect vocal approach --not too on-the-nose with mimickry, and wonderfully pure --reminds me of Jayhawks

[@jamesstarks3676]

What a beautiful interpretation of this song and band. The complexity and rigorous demands that the music of Steely Dan requires eliminates me from calling you a cover band. Such a title appears as sacrilegious and demeaning to your skill proficiency and outright mastery of skill. This is quentissential music and assures it lives on into perpetuity. Thank you!

[@orgelssecondrule9221]

Yes perfectly said!

[@acangial1]

Supremely executed on old school instruments. Thank you!

[@garypickin8174]

You guys definitely brought it back!🎧

[@fredesparza9139]

Let’s get something straight. Donald must be proud of your fine interpretation of the B.R. Please keep them coming. I’m definitely a fan!

[@alhollywood6486]

So glad to see you all back in the same studio! Time for a Dirty Work studio session!

[@judiheath5352]

Another suh-weeeet cover job, guys! U guys really shine on some of the most tasty-yet-tricky 'Dan licks, and we major fans really appreciate it! U guys ever come to coastal VA., U better get in touch w/ me, or I'll be furious AND heartbroken!!!! Love it - 💖💜🎹 - Judi

[@cazza-tea]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@campsjams]

Excellent as always!!!

[@MikeSTUDIO-fg8wj]

The vocals are really good on this cover for a nice change

[@micaelasaathoff3935]

This cover was insane. Amazing job!!! One of my favorite SD tunes

[@Canaveral_Videos]

More Cowbell!!!

[@chrislehne73]

Remarkably accomplished at first blush, only to be more interesting upon repeating listen, when it still had the feel a faithful mirror of the original, but now I could hear the many changes in tone and intensity, which made it more interesting particularly when you apply intensity I felt the original always deserved. I keep coming back to which say it all. Congratulations to the whole band!

[@FoolishPrankster]

Very good, Thanks

[@Inediblebulk]

Soooo awesome! Very faithful and super skilled recreation of some of the best music in the worls. This is why I'm a faithful subscriber. Would love to see you guys in concert, except I'm halfway across the country and housebound. Would also love to see "Everything You Did" here ... and maybe some of the Gaucho album (title track, Third World Man, Time Out Of Mind)? But heck, put whatever SD you want to out there and I'll faithfully watch (Even if it's Show Biz Kids, ugh.)

[@TheUtuber143]

Agree that Third World Man has a lot of guitar solo improvising potential, especially at the end of the song.

[@joshjerge733]

You guys are so insanely good. Soulful, right, you really do the music justice. Please come to California when all this covid crap is over.

[@anthonyrothberg]

Fantastic. Made my day.

[@kenhebert6490]

Brilliant, you chaps are quite awesome, Thanks!,

[@erotonelli]

great job, fellas! greetings from Brazil!

[@pepechomas]

Maravilloso ❤

[@ajhill4851]

Best cover ever WOW

[@commador3986]

Nice on you guys! Y'all should totally consider covering the unreleased "The Second Arrangement". Think you'll like it!

[@joshjerge733]

The world deserves a Brooklyn Charmers version of that song. We're all sick of listening to that scratchy cassette version.

[@kenhebert6490]

Charles Sutton Brilliant Idea!!!

[@garyjerkatis8883]

Sounds great Little buddy

[@Stevesmyth2022-um3xl]

Yeah! Never heard this covered before and it’s brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@je5415]

Another amazing cover! Please please keep them coming. Any chance of a volume two CD?

[@shaunweston1183]

Superb ❤

[@cometface]

I love this video and I hate being a stickler and a snob like this, but I wish the bassist played the written part for the big solo. The original bass line hits on the back beat so hard, I’m sure the drummer would’ve loved it

[@StevenFolberg-yw1oc]

Wonderful!!

[@Turnitupluber]

Awesome job

[@pickle6529]

Gullywater next? : )

[@reinotsurugi]

Worthy rendition! Good job!

[@francescoielmoni3702]

Excellent , from 3:47 shades of Pink Floyd

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

So Damn Good! Very well done!

[@palmsofdestin1]

Wow. This is the most his voice has sounded like Fagens

[@brucegoodwin634]

Clean.

[@silverdjembe]

Guys that was fucking awesome

[@AlbertoVO5]

Was 5 string bass original equipment?

[@jerrymammoser9857]

Yeah, excellent is Right! The “fff” coming back in after the solo was the true merit of a good band. You crank it where it NEEDS to be cranked. Very dyanmic indeed. Thanks

[@Sander12348]

Hoooooly shit!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@noswonky]

Greak work.

[@meredithwatts2293]

Frank's elaboration of what Skunk laid down (I think it was Skunk?) is so perfect, I'd have to say I like this better than the original!! Ahhhhhhh. Meredith Watts

[@AlbertoVO5]

I don’t know about better but they can walk out tall. Few could cover without making me wince. Sure, a few deflections - it’s an interpretation not a carbon copy - but they totally nailed it.

[@LentusFlentus]

niiiice :)

[@richieammons-vo2001]

cook that thang yall!

[@discodrum]

The bassist lost his beard...!?!

[@discodrum]

and glasses.

[@pdoriot]

tasty

[@ub85zwq]

I liked everything that copied the original

[@shyamo90]

great cover. bass poppin too much during solo and guitar isnt elevated enough
