"The Goodbye Look" (Donald Fagen) (cover) live at 3rd and Lindsley 3/15/18

[@dayender]

Only hard working musicians and steely fan’s can appreciate how hard it is to play another’s composition like they wrote it. The night fly is truly underrated.

[@davenova850]

It really is difficult to reproduce. And to see all that on stage talent shows the complexity of Donald Fagen's compositions. Well done all!

[@erlycuyler]

One of the best albums of any genre by any artist at any time period.

[@erlycuyler]

I miss Nashville.

[@schachforderunge.v.6501]

it is a joke? One of the most critical acclaimed album and one of the best of the 80's

[@jayblanche3432]

Is it really “underrated”? But the rest, yeah, couldn’t agree more. I doubt I will ever have the chops for this 53-chord masterpiece.

[@rocketpost1]

I clicked on this thinking it was Donald Fagen but stayed with it and it turned out to be excellent. Not the easiest of songs but Gene Miller certainly did it justice and the musicians/ singers were spot on. Very well done.

[@ricvillegas3074]

Same here !

[@JP-nb7tm]

Awesome cover. beautiful live sound.

[@shannonk.6528]

I've been a very very long time fan of Steely Dan and Donald Fagen on his own and you folks have done the best covers I've heard. Bravo to you all.

I echo your thoughts. Where have you been all of my life?!

Cool chord changes.

I hope listeners know how good these musicians are. Akers, Carlton, Hemby... Love love this

[@a.marcoux4274]

The lead singer sounds just like Donald Fagen. I wish I could see them live; this is definitely their day job. I love it when the cover band takes their job so seriously.

[@jcm21354]

Amazing cover. Fagen must be proud of you guys.

Miracle lyric song

[@janiceslater5547]

Such a fabulous lead vocal and backups....oh and a fabulous band too! The best cover of Fagen's 'Goodbye Look' I've heard...listening again and again...wonderful!

"Won't you pour me a Cuban Breeze, Gretchen?" -- awesome playing everyone. Kudos!

I always dug that line from this tune..🤣

This material is probably the most enjoyable music I've ever consumed, played a little. I sing somewhat in Fagen's range including the strained notes LOL! These folks are presenting the material as good as it gets! I'm sure Donald appreciate's it also!! Bravo !

WOW, I was just listening with headphone and not watching the video and didn't realize it was a cover until 2 minutes in. Well done boys, you've done it!

[@jurgentreue1200]

I'm not a big fan of covers but this one's excellent. My favourite Donald Fagen song. The lyrics are straight out of a Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall movie.

[@TheDarinAmes]

I only just stumbled upon this amazing show footage and am utterly floored at how beautifully performed these songs are. My girlfriend is a background vocalist in a Steely Dan tribute band and I’ve sat in a few times to sing lead so I know just how difficult it is to faithfully recreated these tunes. You’ve done an incredible job… better than any other I’ve ever heard. Congrats and thank you so much for sharing this!

[@nickgood8166]

As a life long Steely Dan fan that was a fantastic rendition and the singer has quite a unique voice; you nailed it !

[@FlaschDJ]

You guys/gals are fucking good! “Nightfly” may be my favorite-ever album. Cameraman needs to show the soloist (vibes player never shown). Oh. Maybe you’re using a simulator for the vibes).

[@itsayesfromme2669]

Best cover I think i have ever heard - as good as the original. Great vocals. Well done one and all.

This is like a music machine…….made by brilliant craftsmen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JoopAbma]

A brilliant cover of this marvellous composition! I have always admired Fagan's skill in creating a whole world with just some simple words: the American, friend of the Batista regime, who stays in Cuba just too long and is surprised by Castro's revolution, which will probably cost him his life.

[@PeterVred]

I was in a different mindset when the Dan and Donald were making albums, now I’m making up for lost time. Listen to it every day for a few years now. THIS is a treasure trove. I feel so blessed to be able to watch this.

[@kmac3215]

This is fucking brilliant! An exceedingly warm and heartfelt performance that really packs a punch. Bravo!

[@michaeledwards7283]

Hands Down, the best cover of this that I’ve ever heard. To take on SD is a task in itself, but to be able to capture the essence of their material and it still sounds fresh with a KILLER cast from the lead singers rasp, to the powerful BGVs, and the dynamic band. What a great listen⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love it! You may not know it, but sound reinforcement engineers use this album "The Nightfly" by Donald F.,and other albums, to properly adjust sound systems for maximum performance.

[@elementrypenguin3116]

It looks like the intro bass is played by the keyboardist on the right. I don’t see the bass player start playing until just before the vocals begin .

[@TNKeys]

You are correct. On the recording the intro was just played by Bass marimba. The electric bass takes over towards the end of the introduction.
