@@thomaseliason8376 You are the MAN !! Always great seeing Steely Dan and the Danettes thru the years. It was a great ride Walter --- you will be missed.
Totally agree. Seen them twice, will again. This is one of their best tunes, right up there with Deacon Blues. Love Fagen solo too, and Nightfly had great tunes.
I was lucky to see Steely in 2007 at Towers PA. This song brings me back some good and crazy times !!!!!! The most sampled group for sure. Rip Mr W Becker 🙏.
This band is nothing short of perfection in pure genius millennials pay attention people used to write real music and play instruments and they can sing also wow what a concept
Hip hop without Steely Dan is like hockey games without fights !!!!!! One of the most sampled group for sure. This song brings me back to crazy past of my life ,party has to end sometimes. Rip Mr W Becker 🙏. De LA SOUL to ATcQ they took madddd samples.
Saw Steely Dan one year before we lost Walter. They sounded exactly like their CDS. Unbelievable! Perfection and Grace….We were outdoors with speakers in trees all around us. It felt surreal. They did all their hits,this was one of them . Hard to sit still ,you have to sway to this and believe me there were smiles on every face… time out of mind. Steely Dan Soothes the soul… RIP Walter Becker. ❤🎸♥️
Steely Dan defined my life beginning as a kid growing up to an adult. Finishing school having a family and now I just became a grandpa this year. Thanks Donald and rest peace Walter. From the Philippines 🇵🇭 Mabuhay to you Thomas 👍
this tune IS my pulse, timeless, unknown by far too many, but those of us that do, We are blessed...Carry on Walter Becker, You will live forever in Us, You made the world a better place
Alan Smith Pulse is the word. I went for a job interview a thousand years ago and the rather bored interviewer asked me who my idol was. Donald Fagen...I replied. He sings in Steely Dan. He's just always in my head. I said. The interviewer remained rather bored and I didn't get the job. But...pulse...you're right. This tune is my pulse.
Yeah maybe but then again maybe it was more the original studio recording wherein Mark Knopfler supposedly laid down the lead track, intro/outro, etc. Becker, when performing this live, always over-killed the lead guitar part by playing these meandering, noodling note patterns, just boring with no emotional uplift throughout the tune....thus serving as a buzzkill. Listen to the recording and enjoy....
There were times when there was music being made... I'am afraid those times of creativity are gone forever... Thanks Walter and Donald for your catalogue !
No, he wasn't and he clearly says here that 'Creativity [is] gone forever' implying that all modern musicians are useless even if this sweeping generalisation is completely ridiculous and subjective
Two things come to mind. 1st, the genius of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen together. What a series of music they wrote together over the years. My heart was broken with the passing of Walter. RIP. 2nd, is it me, or does anyone else notice that Carolyn Leonhart just keeps looking better and better as she ages?
She sure looks like it. Steely Dan knew to include the girls singing in the background of almost every view. There`s nothing wrong with listening and watching the girls as they sing.
Thank god I found Steely Dan all those years ago. I crawled away from turgid British concept rock on my hands and knees and was able to stand on two feet and groove in a happier place.
God, makes me want to experience that! Tonight when I chase the dragon, the water may change to cherry wine, the silver Will turn to gold, time outta mind! Oh that’s so beautiful! So glad I am not an addict - but honestly, this sounds appealing!
Bring back magical memories growing up and evolving into a adult days gone by things were much simpler in the D ( Detroit) late 70's 80's and early 90's miss you wjzz R.I.P Rosetta Hines
I just stop asking myself: How in the hell do they keep doing this? Such greatness??? Just when you think that the bar can go no higher, THEY TAKE IT HIGHER!!!!
I have been to countless concerts……I have been privileged to Enjoy Steely Dan 5 times in 3 decades. They sound exactly like their albums. Rip Walter Becker.
Nothing else compares to Steely Dan. I've listened to them since the 70's when I was in my teens and I'm listening to them now in my 60's. There music transcends time, it's always mellow and cool.... it enters my ears, sends me into a dream that lands in my soul.
Saw Steely Dan with the Doobie Brothers in Houston after Walter passed. Good show but you could tell Donald missed Walter being there. 😢 Great music still.
I put their music down a long time ago. Just picked it back up and realized what I have been missing. A true band of artists who have created some of the best music. Thanks for for the further opening of my mind, sister Carla.
As the song goes "It's the light in my eyes, it's perfection and grace, it's the smile on my face" think on things that are noble, right, pure, just, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy. Cheers
Grew up on the Beatles......still love em. Now Im a man of a certain age and I split my listening between the fab 4 and steely dan. What a delight for the ears and mind!!!!!!!!!!
Another gem from Tom Top Kat
You just got pinned !
@@thomaseliason8376 You are the MAN !! Always great seeing Steely Dan and the Danettes thru the years. It was a great ride Walter --- you will be missed.
Don't know what that means but I'd give my WHOLE social security check to see them live. I love them & their music. 4REAL!!!
I
I would
Becker and fagan, no matinee idols but find me 2 better musical artists composers in any group.i dare you.
How many ppl would go see Steely Dan, Mickael McDonald, Kenny Loggins and Boz Skaggs All together under 1 roof.?
Roughly 17 gazillion, give or take a half a dozen.
Me
You can count me in, for sure !!!!!!
Already happened - 1
All but Kenny
Steely Dan's music DOES NOT AGE, it get's better and better like a Cezanne or a Van Gogh
Totally agree. Seen them twice, will again. This is one of their best tunes, right up there with Deacon Blues. Love Fagen solo too, and Nightfly had great tunes.
Way back when in 67.
Totally Agree! Sounds even better now because you don’t hear any good and real music anymore! I appreciate the Dan 😊
It's amazing how brilliant this band is. Incredible.
I'M 72 years old but when I listen to Steely Dan I feel young very young the Music is timeless. GREAT music writing and craft an ship to perfection.
Only 4 yrs behind ya....rock on!
71 and love this music!!
Steely Dan I couldn't wait for the next album to come out ............they never disappoint Walter Becker you are missed
I was lucky to see Steely in 2007 at Towers PA. This song brings me back some good and crazy times !!!!!! The most sampled group for sure. Rip Mr W Becker 🙏.
Michael's Better 1/2
Can't listen to this one enough. Absolutely outstanding.
Walter's guitar changes from blue to tobacco sunburst and back again! Is there anything these guys can't do? RIP sir. You were a gift to all of us.
Actually, it is Mark Knopfler's guitar
Pure genius. “It’s Perfection and Grace. It’s the Smile on my Face” whenever I listen to these brilliant creators.
Yupper's Chasing The Dragon
You can tell these gentlemen had strong Jazz influences in their lives. You can hear throughout all their arrangements. It's wonderful.
And add a splash of Funk to it! Makes great sounding music!
@@olly8 Let's not forget "The Funk", Ms. Susi E. I see you didn't forget.
Hip hop without Steely Dan is like hockey games without fights!!!!!! One the most sampled group for sure.
De LA SOUL, ATCQ etc .
Is it me or does Donald move like Ray Charles? Luv the Dan!
Ray Charles is Donald Fagen's idol. Background singers are the Danettes. He wrote a song 'What I Do' that talks about their relationship.
@@slit4659 Naw, I was reminded of Ray Charles at the piano too.
Please bear in mind The Dan is my ALL time favorite!
Right on observation. I see it so clearly now!
I would have never made that conection if you had not said anything ---

Sounds like an unforgettable evening, good for all there.
My favourite Dan track, from my favourite album. Love everything about it, the rhythm, the brass, guitars and vocals, just perfection!

I can't get enough of this song. Thank you steely Dan. You guys are one of a kind. God bless you musicians. 😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏

That’s the thing. If you can sing in steely dan you need not worry about english

One of my favorite bands of all time !!!!!! Still listening ..... u betcha !!!! 2019. R.i.p. Walter
The best of the best of the best of the best of the best.
you can never be in a bad mood when listening to Steely D .... yeah
But they can change a mood - or feed one - deacon blues was my intense teen sadness song
RIP Walter Becker
Only 271,000 views?? Their music deserves as many views as any other band.
Steely Dan never disappoints-never.
Yep - double thumbs up me on this comment!
Love love love love love this song. Steely Dan music is fabulous 🤩😍
Music that endures time!!!! That’s Perfection and Grace!!!!
And puts a smile on my face
@@TheBerkeleyBeauty 😂😂 most definitely .
God touched this group . That's the only way they could've been so blessed and they blessed us by exposing us to their God given talent.
There were times when there was music being made...
I'am afraid those times of creativity are gone forever...
Thanks Walter and Donald for your catalogue !
Creativity in music is just as present today as it was in the past, it's simply no longer orbits your particular nostalgic sphere.
Borg, what Johan was trying to say is, there will never be another like Steely Dan. He was right.
No, he wasn't and he clearly says here that 'Creativity [is] gone forever' implying that all modern musicians are useless even if this sweeping generalisation is completely ridiculous and subjective
I agree creativity have STALLED not stopped. God bless you Mr Becker.
Modern music is not nearly as complex and creative as this. The *very best* current tracks would be left in the trash bin in any Steely Dan session.
Two things come to mind. 1st, the genius of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen together. What a series of music they wrote together over the years. My heart was broken with the passing of Walter. RIP. 2nd, is it me, or does anyone else notice that Carolyn Leonhart just keeps looking better and better as she ages?
Hard to say... she's always looked pretty damn good to me. I would eat the peanuts out of her shit.
She sure looks like it. Steely Dan knew to include the girls singing in the background of almost every view. There`s nothing wrong with listening and watching the girls as they sing.
I agree about Carolyn. I always notice her perfection and grace. Puts a smile on my face.
For those of us not in the know which one is Carolyn?
Tall thin brunette
Donald Fegan is one of my favorite. Love his style and that proper accent in his voice when he sing. So unique!
As Steely Dan startet the concert in Stuttgart Germany with this Song I could only stare with open mouth! 😮 Still I get shivers...
Magical music. Who the hell needs drugs, Steely Dan music gets me high enough.
To my 84' Firebird. I was time out mind to buy that car.
Black coated in gold flak.
Man, Thanks. Rob62...
my favorite Dan song ....and there were so many .
On a level unmatched in musical history. The pure essence of musical genius !!!
Double thumbs up, please.
Thank god I found Steely Dan all those years ago. I crawled away from turgid British concept rock on my hands and knees and was able to stand on two feet and groove in a happier place.
A brilliant song from an epic album by a legendary band at their peak. With Steely Dan, the superlatives never end.
God, makes me want to experience that! Tonight when I chase the dragon, the water may change to cherry wine, the silver Will turn to gold, time outta mind!
Oh that’s so beautiful! So glad I am not an addict - but honestly, this sounds appealing!

Reminds me of SLAGGERS ...... I will Never forget !!!
Amazing incredible beautiful fabulous fantastic great performance 🎸🎼🎻🎤🎈🎶🕺💃
Good luck seeing another group like this
I hint a bit of sarcasm. LOL
U got that right
Awesome material to listen to. Fell in love with these guys back in 1972. --- R.I.P Walter
RIP Walter Becker, one of the all-time greats ! Carry on Donald !
WOW,it doesn’t get better than this.
Dire Strait's Mark Knopfler on guitar on the studio recording. Fabulous quality, timeless, brilliant band, Walter Becker RIP.
Like them, this jam is so cool it's beyond words.
Nothing in the world better than cherry wine. A Top 10 Dan song for me - and that's a tough list to crack.
Smooth as gold🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Two extremely talented,artful guys. Incredible.
It doesn't any better than this...Superb stuff !
So good it is surreal!
I just stop asking myself: How in the hell do they keep doing this? Such greatness??? Just when you think that the bar can go no higher, THEY TAKE IT HIGHER!!!!
When these guys were at their top popularity, I was way too young to appreciate them at all. Now days, I could listen to them for hours...
Toured Once in 1975...they hated it
I been a fan of Steely Dan since mid 70's. Thanks for this song !!!
About 1980 for me - basically it was high-end audio that sold me on these guys.
The groove is insane 🔥🔥🔥
The Dan are perfection and grace ❤
Two mad bastards in the studio perfection and grace 👌
I have been to countless concerts……I have been privileged to Enjoy Steely Dan 5 times in 3 decades. They sound exactly like their albums. Rip Walter Becker.
This never gets old I wish I can see them live

in my soul.
Love Steely Dan....I've been there from the very beginning ....Great "original" music. Thanks Guys.. Rest in peace Walter....
I love steely Dan
Timeless, genius, never be anyone even come close to this kind of music .. perfection itself!!
Untouchable brilliance!
If there’s ever been a better band I’ve never seen them…..and I’ve seen a fair few ..They have been the soundtrack to my life.
they performed some of their greatest hits at PNC Bank Arts Center this summer. They were perfect, as always. oh what a night!!!!!!
Hope they tour again in 2023!
@jayhgoodwin they probably will Donald Fagan loves money
STEELY DAN........in a class all by themselves!!!!! Especially the AJA album!!!! I never get tired of it!
Time out of time, like fine wine. Epic…………

My favorite musicians.
Take it from a teen from the 70s. The Dan has had it going on for half a century.
I'll see then in the Spring, in Seattle.
This my shit right here! Even though it way past my time line😅😅
Great music is timeless. Hell, I listen to Mozart for crying out loud.
I was lucky enough to see the Steely Dan for the last time 2007 Towers PA. Oh this song brings me to crazy days !!!!! Rip Mr W Becker 🙏
love Steely Dan. Donald Fagan n Walter Becker.
Saw Steely Dan with the Doobie Brothers in Houston after Walter passed. Good show but you could tell Donald missed Walter being there. 😢 Great music still.

Awesome song
Thank you for easing the pain
wow..always loved steely dan..some kool stuff
timeless....just remember when this was recorded....:)
When exactly was that?
As the song goes "It's the light in my eyes, it's perfection and grace, it's the smile on my face" think on things that are noble, right, pure, just, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy. Cheers
Grew up on Steely Dan a staple on the radio
I love this band 2024……. RIP The great Walter Becker
Donald Fagens voice is it’s own unique instrument
The water just changed to cherry wine! Time out of mind (what a relief!). Thank you.
These guys were so tight.
Wow!!!!! Keep on rockin Steely Dan you pull me up of hard times when I was a teenager
One ☝🏾 word , CLASSIC ! Enough said ⏳👴🏾✌🏾
Grew up on the Beatles......still love em. Now Im a man of a certain age and I split my listening between the fab 4 and steely dan. What a delight for the ears and mind!!!!!!!!!!
Perfection and grace 👍🎤🎼🎶
