I was fortunate to see Steely Dan before Walter Becker passed. RIP. Steely Dan has the best catalog of songs! ❤

[@vaccumme]

It ain't Snoop Dog, but it's OK.

[@jeffoldknow]

I'm the luckiest man in the world. I'm 57, I got Steely Dan, journey ACDC, Frampton, elo, doobies, Chicago etc etc etc. My parents got rockabilly and my kids got shit. Right place and time to grow up.

[@msmiller57]

Truth! Although I'm a bit older, my kids grew up listening to MY music collection and now they appreciate the music of that time as much as me. This is a stellar version even without Walter.

[@Doodger12]

Yip, I'm 65 now, best music in my life was all of it.

[@karleewabo]

I’m 59, same. Billy Squire, Def Lep,Aerosmith, Journey, etc etc. My daughter loves rap shit, I don’t. But I made sure in 2024 she will listen to my 80s music on her own and everyone looks at her taste of music and just don’t get it. I do. It’s part of her soul. I’m a proud dad.

Donald Fagen is so precise in his music. His talent is outstanding. Even at an older age, he shines!

[@blueshorecreative3146]

Do many realise how many guitar parts and solos Jon Herington masters for these songs, and how many different hot guitarists from the recordings he is emulating? He's amazing. Then to have Boz Scaggs providing rhythm and counterpoint to Jon. Such good performances.

[@angturil]

Yes he is absolutely amazing!

[@rebeccagroves1096]

Don’t forgot Michael McDonald , love him!

[@Heknowswhatyoudid]

[@gmichaelgold8433]

Absolutely right about Jon Herington - it's like paying an homage to the late (and oh sooo great) Walter Becker

That Jon Herington is a true guitar mercenary. He's true to whatever the song's DNA and flavor call for.

And it's perfect for the song's sleazy but pathetic protagonist: He can afford to buy the best booze and the best weed, and that probably has a whole lot to do with what that half-his-age girl sees in him. Plus, Michael Leonhart's trumpet solo is almost as sardonic as Fagen's vocal.

Our music was, and still IS, gold. The artists, lyrists, musician's are GOATS. Today's music doesn't compete in any genre.

[@simplysubliminal2943]

Music is always a reflection of the times. But never before has almost every genre resembled one another so much. Country and rap are more combined than ever, I still think it's exactly what I thought it was as a teenager and I'm 37 now and that's CRAP!

[@morbidmanmusic]

well, as someone who is old, and loves these guys, and produces music. I don't agree. Music is fine. You look in the old person places and find bad music. That is the issue. musicians are every bit as good if not better depending on what you are evaluating. Most of the band is replacements here and they are young... todays generation of touring people. Nobody is original except fagan. stop being old.

[@victorowens9150]

I disagree. You have to look beyond mainstream music.😊

[@mr.k.3856]

I understand perfectly what you say. Howver in the 70, 80s there was mainstream pop and rock rubbish , just like today. Honestly, Steely Dan was never listened to by the masses, their audience was people who also often liked jazz and what we like to call "intellectual" music. Same today, nothing changed. It's still is a 1% club. The problem is that this kind of music is much less visible today due to modern media and the commercialzation of everything. Rap, Hip hop, pop and fast profit and short lived "music" has taken over.

[@richardgrier8968]

You can tell Fagan really likes Jon Herington’s playing.

In fact I was listening while I was on the toilet. Fagen was basically a studio band but I like 👍👍👍 3 thumbs up. I've seen about every bad in the 70s and I'm telling you parrying having the best time of my life only my daughter and grandson can get me this excited.

[@dougpoulton5544]

Session guitarists are the most talented, can play anything and make a ton of money doing it for anyone and everyone. Probably why Jon declined to join Steely Dan preferring to be a non contract free agent. Fagen is talented but he sure hit some clinkers in this song.

First time I heard "Hey Nineteen" on the radio, I immediately recognized Donald Fagen's voice, and wondered what band it was that featured him on as a guest vocalist. One guy at work told me in fact it was Steely Dan. I told him to double check that because it sounded so radically different than Aja album, or any other work of theirs that was previously recorded. I couldn't believe it when 2 days later my older brother came home with Gaucho! I ate that entire album up! It would be years later when I learned that with Gaucho (unless I am mistaken), Fagen had finally found the sound he was looking for. And I thought- What the heck was He and Becker doing all that time before that?
