[@pallhe]

Having Michael McDonald on backing vocals lends an unbeatable veneer of authenticity.

[@sean_heisler]

Michael McDonald's backing vocals on any song - GOLD.

[@cmr58]

Sitting here in tears hearing this.........My childhood of music!!! If only I could go back to those AM/FM radio days when songs like this filled the air.

[@dbell582]

For real. It’s nice that other generations have internet so they can witness it for themselves.

[@lennyhendricks4628]

nice thing about this song is it brings back one of the original studio backup singers, Michael MacDonald.

[@ConcertTours]

Great comment. That goes back as ways, but I remember.

[@robertobravo7714]

¿One? he did all the backing harmonies on the original studio version!

[@markusbuhmann]

@@robertobravo7714 yep, he did all of them. Ridiculously good.

[@DonFredricks]

Too bad there's only one of him, instead of four. ;)

[@WestPac-ny9vi]

Only 2 parts that sounded original of the song was Michael McDonald & the Horns.

[@kevinwilliams3668]

I smile but part of me wants to cry tears of joy. My Grandmother's nickname was "Peg", she was about 5 feet tall. I have shared with others but my Grandparents sent me to college with just a few dollars, but she made sure I had my black leather Bible, my athletic gear, and a few tunes. One of them was Steely Dan, the track that rocked me to sleep when life was tough, I had only a few friends, no money, but plenty of memories was "Peg". Thank you for being part of my youth !!!

[@jennyjones3978]

They just don’t make music like this anymore!❤️❤️❤️ so awesome

[@charlesmoreno3212]

Whoever the drummer is, I think he's awesome👍

[@JC-cm9bn]

Shannon Forrest is the drummer

Since 1977…. THIS HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE STEELY DAN SONG ! I WAS 8yrs. old ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kristofferwash1]

One of the best hooks in history..

Bozz still kills it effortlessly. Legend .

[@whoneedssantawhenthereisgr1724]

Love this song especially Michaels backup vocals!

[@rwjazz1299]

gotta love that 335 sound. Jon Herington sure gets it all that beautiful Gibson sound to come out.

[@jimr3179]

I'm not a guitar player and really know nothing about them. But that Gibson has what I would call a warm,woody sound to it.But I also like the way Fenders sound.

[@simplethings474]

This should be an annual event.

[@bbsal4031]

Oh my gosh this sounds so awesome. What legends.

[@jmgalbo1]

OK, only one album to listen to for the rest of your life - AJA! The Sgt. Pepper of the Steely Dan era!

[@TheoSmith249]

It the most played album of my life. Does that count? 😃

[@user-fo2vt8py2p]

amazing guitar solo

[@danielmckay6405]

I can't explain how much i love this version. Donald is so great.

[@Ornthoron]

Notice also how Boz Scaggs is laying down tasteful guitar parts off camera as if he had played with Steely Dan for real.

[@angusorvid8840]

Boz is a terrific guitarist. John Herrington too.

Have you seen Ray's wife!? Neither has he.

[@golds04]

PLEASE COME BACK GUYS!!

[@dbell582]

As if these guys could get any cooler but somehow they did! Donald Fagen is just aging so well. Michael McDonald never changes. Boz Skaggs is timeless. Love this!

The guitarist on this video is the one that currently plays in the spot left by Walter Becker. RIP.

[@kendramiller3677]

Drone/Quadcopter101 that's nice. I know it isn't the same without Walter. We will always miss him.😢

[@ConcertTours]

I think that the guitarist holds true to the sound that Walter brought to each song. There will always be only one Walter Becker but the sound remains true!

[@kendramiller3677]

Drone/Quadcopter101 I can totally agree on that.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

John Herrington on lead guitar.

although jay graydon's solo is not separable from the song. IMHO.

"The Duke of September"are the Back up of "Donald Fagen" who's founded "Steely Dan" with "Walter Baker" that's passin' away this song is "Peg"(mean's picture of a girl in the song!) "Peg" is the Single of the most influenced and most popular from"Aja" of Steely Dan!

[@markusbuhmann]

Sampled by De La Soul as well (also a great track)

[@robertlee6781]

I like how John Herrington paid homage to the original solo but pulled in his style to make it his own.

[@angusorvid8840]

I totally dig that, and thank you for pointing it out in a positive way. I see too many players dogging on John for not playing Jay Graydon's solo note for note. But these same characters would dog him even if he did because they're foolish. Herrington is a wonderful player.

[@joemasse4568]

Jay Graydon,solo? One of the best on any steely Dan songs, Herrington should play it note for note, it’s a masterpiece inside the song, not a easy solo? Perhaps he never took the time to learn it? I would compare it to a Beatles solo big part of the song and should be played accordingly!

[@acemechanical275]

@@joemasse4568 I agree 💯

[@lancewebb1532]

Joe Masse: My take is that he is playing what Donald Fagen asked him to play. He obviously is capable to play the historic solo note for note but he is after all an employee. My guess is that he asked whether he should play “the solo”, his own improv or some combo of both. Nothing about his playing says to me that he has not studied the SD guitar book, intensely and that is truly a great feat.

[@kennethhenson8240]

Donald looks a bit like a mad scientist on Peg. Doing some Stevie Wonder moves on the mic.

[@bcask61]

Stevie Wonder and Stephen Hawking had a baby.

[@charlesdbruce]

Jon Herington is a superb player but... for this song (and for all Steel Dan songs for that matter)... I really wish he had recreated thestudio version solo (this one by Jay Grayden) which is such a masterpiece.

[@Funk-ix6hw]

I cannot believe the half ass fast tracking auto-tune job I hear on Donald Fagan's voice... that has got to be some kinda inside joke we are not privy to.

[@ConcertTours]

I had to google it: Tracking with Autotune (or any effect) usually means recording the Autotune on the vocals, meaning you can't change or get rid of it, often called printing to track.

[@ConcertTours]

Unbelievable.

[@kbop]

its disturbingly off brand lol

[@fishmojo865]

I hate to say it as a huge SD fan, everything is awesome here except Donald’s vocals. He managed studio work with all the takes and editing, but really has shortcomings in live work. The older he gets, the worse it gets.

[@ojsefg]

I’m high AF. I could have sworn that was Steven Hawking gettin down on vocals.
