Steely Dan continues to grow. It will live more in the future than it has....

[@St705]

As a longtime SD fan this is one of the best covers of this song I have heard. Cheers folks!!

[@DoctorWuBand]

Thank you for the kind words. We'll be releasing our latest in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned. DW

[@moetrymwm7807]

I've been a fan of the Dan since I was in my mid teens. I'm 61 now. Covers rarelly surpass the original. In this case I have to admit that this version is absolutely extraordinarilly superior. If that is at all possible. No slight whatsoever to Fagan and Becker, my heroes. Bravo all!

[@DoctorWuBand]

You've no idea how that warms our hearts, Moetrymwm! Wu thanks you!

[@dmljones2550]

You have to be joking.

[@moetrymwm7807]

Don't get your panties all in a wad. It's just my opinion. So you don't agree. BFD!@@dmljones2550

[@latetotheparty184]

It's true for me too. I like the vocals a little better in this cover. It seems a little livelier too which I like.

[@alfcollins3810]

You know,the dan are so perfectionist,it´s so worth it to copy them note for note ......cause when you play it ( not that I ever played it in a cover version band,mind you,) it sounds like aural bliss when you get that close......congrats!!!!!!

[@StevenFolberg-yw1oc]

You guys absolutely killed it. BRAVO!!

[@DoctorWuBand]

Cheers, SF! Thanks for watching. Rock on!

[@andyinoregon]

Whenever I hear "Time Out of Mind" I wonder if there's a Steely Dan Tribute band out there called "Perfection and Grace."

[@DoctorWuBand]

There probably is. I saw mention of a group out of Temecula, CA calling themselves Illegal Fun. Talk about obscure references! They're only a 5 piece and mildly entertaining but I do dig the name.

[@andyinoregon]

@@DoctorWuBand Wow! "Illegal Fun" is about as obscure as Steely Dan references ever get. Interesting that the song "Glamour Profession" also inspired the name for the 1980s group of Steely Dan session musicians, The Hoops McCann Band. Seeing them perform at the very first Mt. Hood Jazz Festival in Gresham, Oregon on Aug. 7, 1982 was the closest my wife and I came (up to that time) to our 2nd Steely Dan concert (since our first on April 21, 1974).

[@DoctorWuBand]

@@andyinoregon Right, exactly on the Hoops McCann Band. That was Slyde Hyde and Chuck Findley - Chuck doing a few of the arrangements on that one. Our former trumpeter and mensch extraordinaire, Andy Winer, (former MD for Chaka Khan and keyboardist with Patti Austin, American Idol Live and more, did an arrangement of Glamour Profession from that album for us. Sometimes we use the arrangement to open up 2nd sets. We haven't played it in a while but it's heady as can be.

[@Jazzgriot]

Great stuff. Well impressed.

[@DoctorWuBand]

Thank you for listening - and for the kind words!

[@bakersfieldre]

Just saw your Bakersfield concert..Excellant..Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your tribute to such a great band.

[@DoctorWuBand]

BakersfieldRE! Thank you for being there. Big time fun for us and, boy, what an amazing crowd! We hope to DO IT AGAIN soon! ~ DW

[@jeffaja29]

Fantastic performances of a classic Dan track...must have taken some work by all...❤

[@Liverpoolego60]

Thank you. Anthony Egan lead singer with the band

[@Tokelahomatentfarmer]

Damn yall killed it...a more impressive cover I have yet to see.

[@DoctorWuBand]

Very kind of you to say! Tryin' to keep it real over here in LaLa Land.

[@ericcoppala8234]

Solid work. SD is one of the bands I hooked on in my teens. You guys are nailing it down.

[@DoctorWuBand]

Thank you, EC! We've been hooked for 24 years as a band!

[@edsherrod5216]

Excellent cover!

[@DoctorWuBand]

Thank you!

[@edsherrod5216]

Dang - I think if I were to hear this song played by Steely Dan and your version, I couldn't tell the difference! Great job!

[@DoctorWuBand]

big thanks for watching, edsherrod5216! your kind words happily reverberated through the band!

[@debi5292]

I hope this was a fun to play as it is to listen to. You guys' n gals rock it, the right way chasing that dragon. 💯Steely Dan fan for life here.

[@DoctorWuBand]

Thank you, Debi! Glad we could 'bring the Dan' for you on this track! Yes, we did have that much fun recording it. XO ~ Doctor Wu

[@debi5292]

Back for seconds!

[@VBLASPO1]

GREAT music and Anne King displays her usual upbeat sense of humor (pun intended) 😁

[@DoctorWuBand]

Yes, she does. Always! Thanks for checking it out, Steve!

[@andyinoregon]

Thanks for performing my favorite track from "Gaucho." My very first phone answering machine greeted callers with the intro to this song.

[@StevenKane79]

Nice work, guys!

[@DoctorWuBand]

Thank you! Glad to be getting back to live performances again in front of actual humans. Comin' up in a couple of weeks.

[@jonrichardson8461]

Congrats on a great job on one of my SD favourites.

[@andyinoregon]

Totally binging on Wu juice today. Nine out of ten musical doctors recommend it!

[@user-vk6ju2qf9c]

Cant believe there are no steely dan cover bands calling themselves steely fan, what a great name

[@jeffreyullmer2831]

O my gosh you guys crushed it! Vocals are spot on, come to Dayton ohio❤

[@DoctorWuBand]

Very kind of you, Sir! We' ve got a rep and have been working our way toward the Fraze - 2024? Here's hopin'. Peace!

I never saw anything like this before--cool!

[@DoctorWuBand]

Thank you!

[@AStanton1966]

@@DoctorWuBandWe love the Dan music. In the Northeast here we try and catch the Hey Nineteen cover band when possible.

[@PhotonPhotos]

❤ such a clear and precise remake, the vocals were even better than the original, but hey, no junk no soul🐲

[@PhotonPhotos]

I love how the guy in the lower left is really feeling the groove.

[@peggyrannick7812]

Fantastically fab!

As enjoyable as the original!

[@user-vk6ju2qf9c]

Sounds good and not easy to do mark knopfler guitar part

[@DoctorWuBand]

Thanks for noticing the nuance, Robert! Much appreciated.

[@martyh5644]

That was fun! But why is the lead guitar seemingly always 'behind' the rest of the band?

[@thomasmedlin1908]

Are you with me?

[@DoctorWuBand]

Nailed it!

[@Joel_Powell]

Cool.. a female horn player - don't see that enough!

[@Joel_Powell]

And now I know her name is Anne King since I watched until the end!

[@DoctorWuBand]

She's one of the best in the biz, JP. Adele, Rod Stewart, Guns 'N Roses...thanks for watching! ~ DW

[@Pablo_sanz359]

The lead singer cracked me up lol

[@Liverpoolego60]

I’m still totally interested as to why the singer cracked you up

[@Liverpoolego60]

I’m still waiting for why the singer cracked you up I’m just interested I thought it was a funny comment

[@MichelleSeukunian-yz8ju]

@Pablo_sanz359 That’s okay if you cracked up - doesn’t take away from his extreme vocal abilities.

[@steve.the.farmer]

I think you play this as well as the Dan (amazingly enough) but the bass player is creepy.

[@johnboybliss680]

sadly fagen and becker would have rejected this band

[@rochthis]

Fagen actually digs it. So does his assistant producer on Aja (Bill Schnee) his lead trumpeter on Aja, Gaucho and the Royal Scam (Chuck Findley) and their bone guru on the same records (Slyde Hyde). Jay Graydon’s even played with the band. Haters gotta hate, I guess.

[@Liverpoolego60]

That’s my new favorite idea for a Steely Dan song . John Boy Bliss . Inspiration comes in my ways thanks John. John Boy Bliss it’s brilliant. The lyrics are flowing fast and strong.

[@Liverpoolego60]

I can’t wait to give you a shout out on the next sold out show. This one is for are biggest fan John Boy Bliss.
