the back-up singer vocal lines - the solos - the longful lyrics - the chord progressions - it all comes together in this SD song - fell in love with it as a kid, bought the album, and never looked back as a devoted Dan fan - still touches my soul, even now
Hail Cornelius Bumpus!! His outré playing proves his ultra-coolness, revealing the authentic and genuine “Deacon Blues” himself! Wow. Bravo Mr.Bumpus! Bravo! You probably know that Cornelius used to play in the subway just for the feel of it. The Big Man, indeed.
This is World music. Like at a UN holiday party, this would be the entertainment. Good, Real Music that no one can't like. Like the other comments said, everyone just comes together in this performance and its absolutely perfect. 🙏 🔥
…and master lyricists, too. No one draws an imaginary, yet vividly realistic picture with their song lyrics like Becker & Fagen did… (Well, maybe Lennon & McCartney…but they’re in rare company!)

Loved "Deacon Blues" as a teenager back in 1977, i bought the 45 record. 💿
Cornelius : maybe my favorite Tenor solo
Opening Chords are exquisitely sublime. God Damn take me back to 1977 to Hamburg, New York. And Vicky Cave is luscious!
Took my Aja album with me when I was reassigned overseas to South Korea in November 1977 because of this song...ah the memories!
Yeah man nothing like hanging with my ole friend Steely Dan.
Thanks for uploading this great footage!
Bumpas killing it

Deacon Blues Jam..Cornelius Bumpus is unbelievablely good.
The two chords and then the camera man/backup singer thing at 3:43 😆
Great song and the band

Becker and Fagen. Two true masters of music. Not many make it to this level.
