@@michaelfitzurka5659 A lot of talented kids for sure. But how many are listening to this caliber of music, much less creating new?

Wow, are you kidding me? A Fagen, McDonald and Skaggs jam session! We're fortunate to live in a country where we're not only blessed to have this talent among us but we're free to listen and support these musicians !!
At first, I thought this was just going to be one more cover band.... but then I realize, sh*t this is the real thing here!!!!! Wow, what can you say?? Just speechless and mesmerized with all this talent on one stage!!!!!! I've watched hundreds of music videos on utube, why have I not seen this before???? WELL DONE!!!!
It's unfortunate, but I believe we [or more accurately popular Music] will never see their like again! I didn't fully realise how lucky I was growing up and becoming a music fan / consumer / buyer in the 1970's. ... I do now.
"You've been telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen. In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean." One of my favorite lines ever.
You know, there are these "guitar gods" with their crazy hats, big hair, tattoos, or funny names but there are so many other guitar artists that can just play circles around them but toil around in relative obscurity entertaining us poor schlobs with their mastery of the instrument. Their efforts impress me daily!!!
Amen to that !!! I lost count of the times when learning to play an "easy " number when listening closely enough to notate it reveals a multitude of delicate complexity naturally most of this occurred before youtube or indeed digital recording which was my journeyman era
Let's not knock those "guitar gods" just because there are other great guitarists out there that are least known to the general public. The problem is not them, the problem is the ignorant public that won't listen to anything that is not mainstream. And no, there are no guitar players that play circles around the "guitar gods" if by guitar gods you are referring to the likes of Hendrix, SRV, Clapton, Page, Beck, Blackmore, Gilmour, Santana, Young, Iommi, Moore, Allman, EVH..........

He is a chill guy too. Saw one of the last Becker tours at the Beacon, “The Dan who knew too much.” It was Aja “album” night. Third row with wife and friends. Got to watch all of them close. Great group of pros. Jon is unique, so smooth and chill. Look him up. After the show we go to Beacon Hotel Bar, and there is some of the band. Jon was so approachable, easy to talk to. We decide to find a pub for a burger, and sure enough, they showed up to eat. They were seated next to us. Great folks and conversations. Great night.
With a Donald Fagen band, you know each and every musician is going to give 110 percent on every vocal, every note. No let ups anywhere. Perfectionist.
Heck yeah Boz is incredible, he had albums out in 74, I worked at a bar he had played regularly in Austin, amazing talent, he toured silk degrees at the auditorium in Austin, packed, the boy had done good and was coming home.!!
Props to Herrington of course, he's a beast as we all know, but can we give some shine to Shannon Forrest on the drums too? Dude is absolutely incredible, he crushed it the entire concert
I played drums for over 35 years, and Jeff Porcaro is one my all-time top-three drummers. I humbly submit that Shannon Forrest is the closest living thing you can get to Jeff Porcaro. The dude is absolutely, undeniably, off-the-charts in groove. Tasty grooves. Tasty fills. Same drum sounds, same cymbal sounds, same "lope" on the Jeff tunes he played with Toto. If I believe in that sort of thing, I'd argue that he actually IS Jeff Porcaro reincarnated.
Very tastefully! A gorgeous mixture of very faithful original licks interwoven with some super new material. To be frank, I don’t think I’ve heard a better version; superb in all departments! Thank you one and all🍾❤️
my first concert steely dan opened for black oak arkansas...i know crazy! They played this and I fell into a 40+ year love affair with Fagen and Becker, may he RIP.
Jon was passing through Indiana for one year in 1981-82. Took a part time gig teaching guitar at Anderson College where I was studying guitar performance. To have him as a private instructor for one year is still one of the most humbling and blessed experiences I’ve ever had! He was a gifted teacher and his playing left us speechless! So happy for his success through the years. We’ll deserved!
@@ncpathak5525 the bulk of what I know I learned from Jon. His ear was unbelievable and his patience as a teacher was a gift! There were only six of us that received private lessons. As a farm boy from a quiet, western Indiana family farm I never dreamed of such an opportunity. We really didn’t know who he was in ‘81 but we knew he was good, and destined for greater things. So glad for him!
@@stephendawg1 Great post Steve, I know what you mean, I had lessons with Frank White in Sheffield, England who was Joe Cocker's guitar player and his ear was amazing....I think that is so key. I had been trying to figure out the solo on "Fingers burned" by Alan Parsons...on Eye in the Sky by Iairn Bairnson...which is tricky...Frank had never heard it, listened to it once and played it note perfect back to me...and taught me how to play it...I am still not quite there.....25 years later! Jon though is truly world class.
Boz was actually born in Canton, Ohio but is considered a Texan. William Royce Scaggs. Genius. Always great live. That tenor ages beautifully. Don't miss him if you get the opportunity.
More beautiful than the day I first fell in love with it 50 years ago. Thank you for adding so much pleasure to my life, Donald, late Walter and everyone else.
What a combo of professionals doing what they love best. Singing and be part of the music world. I was only a kid back then listening to this song on the radio. At 50 now and still appreciating that music. Beautiful video. Regards from Bougainville Island, Buka. PNG.😂😅
Musicianship is just incredible here as it always was growing up in the 70's. They're all just amazingly in sync and beautiful mood created over and over.
Giant HOLE without Fagan. Miss him. Boz and McDonald?? Geezus this is DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN time. Herrington is a wizard. CAn't say enough....my ALL TIME FAVORITE song. This video is 11 years ago...we are INDEED "Reeling in the years".
I remember listening to this when the album first came out. During a difficult time for me in my 20s. This song in particular helped a lot. Thanks eternally Steely Dan.
I have watched the dvd of this show soooo many times….no pyro, no laser, just pure music, great songs and very very talented musicians. I just hope the Dukes will come to europe one day..
All those years these guys were battling for airplay on different competing record labels, now they all come together as one to make good music, it's a beautiful thing !!! 🙂
Jeezus John Herrington is a friggin MONSTER guitar player. And I’m a pro guitarist playing for 40 years. Gotta play this one like the record for obvious reasons but I’d love to hear this guitarist just improvise his own stuff over the whole tune.
Grew up listening to these artists. To hear them now is so awesome and nostalgic. They sound absolutely terrific. Music you hear today like the weird stuff when you're shopping at Lowe's I'm like what the heck is this.
The drummer, Shannon Forrest is outstanding and needs mention for his props. Great band ,Love the name The Dukes of September. Kudos to Fagan, Scaggs and McDonald.
tasty version, I’m pretty sure Elliot Randall and J Skunk B would approve ! JH is a beast and how about that Boz Skaggs & Shannon really keeps the groove in the pocket. Well done gents !
Herrington naisl every note every time. Not a wasted, bragging lick, ever. Impressive. The stage is just overloaded with the absolute top shelf of american music.

Should have seen them in the 70s.
@@jdotozyes! But even today better than most of what’s out there now.
Now that Walter's gone, Donald has to carry the torch, stay healthy Donald, you are a national treasure, nobody will replace Steely Dan.
Walter's not gone he lives on he"s in the Steally Dan's music. Besides, what's pretzel logic ?It's about time travel if you must know.
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you play lead guitar there's nobody better
That first note of the solo, just hanging there in the air, like a firework burning down ...
And that ladies and gentlemen is how to play lead guitar.
And for younger viewers,that's a musical instrument called a guitar (gee - tar)
Just nails the lines: technically perfect, so musical and great tone!
So tasty
Herrigton will never play a Steely solo. not perfect hooks. solos because he said those are someone elses creations. His. solos rock
His tone is so dead on perfect too
Boz Scaggs was always underrated as a guitar player. I like to see him bringing it.
That kind of guitar playing is Hall of Fame.
It was 1973, I was 19 years old and I had just left my home in Pittsburgh to start my new job in Waynesboro VA. I was ready to get off the PA turnpike when this song came on the radio. So now every time I hear this song, I’m 19 once again. I wish!

Herrington is just so versatile. He duplicates the styles of multiple session guys that the Dan used over the years. Just incredible.
he's still learning he does his best to copy elliott but sadly inferior
Love watching Donald smile during his guitar solos, Jon never misses a beat, ever, like a clock.
I was really impressed with him. Had to dig to find out his name. He is so relaxed and plays within himself. That's a Major Dude.

I’m their biggest fan so I can say this….years & tears should be year-ers & tear-ers- two syllables, two notes. Don’t argue with me…..
I want some skunk
Shannon is freakin GREAT on drums...his feel reminds me so much of Jeff Porcaro RIP
A lush, proper banger, folks.💥💥💥
Grew up listening to these artists. To hear them now is so awesome and nostalgic. They sound absolutely terrific. Music you hear today like the weird stuff when you're shopping at Lowe's I'm like what the heck is this.
Thank u ... me german 72 years old msn ... this f... song was mine in the 70ies ... love u donald ... 🐺
Absolute musical perfection all round 👌👌👌
Everyone is forgetting the back up vocals. That is what makes a great event from any artist that play the tunes correctly.
Fricken Flawless !! Exactly how I remember it. exactly ! Time Machine Experience . I'm so happy right now !! Thanks Guys !!
Make no mistake, Boz can hang with the best of them!
The drummer, Shannon Forrest is outstanding and needs mention for his props. Great band ,Love the name The Dukes of September. Kudos to Fagan, Scaggs and McDonald.
Took it from XTC's psuedo name Dukes Of the Stratosphere.
What a trio of great singers; Donald Fagan, Boz Scaggs and Michael McDonald!!!
tasty version, I’m pretty sure Elliot Randall and J Skunk B would approve ! JH is a beast and how about that Boz Skaggs & Shannon really keeps the groove in the pocket. Well done gents !
I saw this show here in Texas. I also have the DVD. And I STILL watch these same clips. They're incredible. It was an amazing evening.
Someday I want to see this band
That one second introduction from Donald Fagen means volumes in the music industry
Omg. What a great concert to be at. So glad the 70s music is what I had to listen to.❤❤❤❤
All stars
Diaz and Baxter were INCREDIBLE, these dudes are just going through the motions compared to them...
These guys are pretty fucking good.
Your take on it is so Ferrari, it's true that Scaggs sucks but you're Ferrari just got passed by John Herrington standing still.
