I'm a 65 year old Limey Pommie bar steward who's been listening to 'The Dan' for around 2 thirds of my life and still getting goosebumps on hearing their songs. Fagan and Becker, the best songwriters of all time. My life might soon be over but thank God I was born when I was.
The Dan plays the best sounds that I reveled in during my prime in the 70s. Now when I listen to them I get the chills and a few tears from sweet memories from way back when. There's a good chance that their songs will be repeating from the imprints made upon my mind when I pass! Thank God for my Steely Dan!
I have listened to all types of music in my 70 years of life....but no other music group has ever, in my opinion, created such a unique sound by blending blues, jazz and soft rock like these guys. The music and lyrics create a truly one of a kind sound I think is ageless. I consider Steel Dan's blended sound to be the best contemporary music ever created.
maybe the Bee Gees were another genius type musicians of same ilk albeit more with a slant to disco. But I definitely agree with you - maybe also aligned here are the Average White Band
Undoubtedly!!when I heard them the first time it was just instantaneous gold!! I had never heard anything like them before.. It was mysterious, intriguing and touch my very musical core at its deepest! A spot I didn’t even know existed in me!! Still listen to them after all these years.
78 years old I still cry when I hear this music. My brother loved this guys and last hit we enjoyed before he passed away. It gives me chills,... not like the mess we hear today. Love those tones!! Rick, from , Fairmount -Philly
I know what you mean. We were so fortunate to have lived it. My first concert (other than symphony and MJQ) was Steely Dan at Memorial Auditorium in around '76 - '77 I think? Glory days.
I was born 51 ,l play drums and still play gigs as often as possible,. I just love music, more so to this high standard ,. So much to do ,, so little time left, memories so sweet , long live rock and roll
No one is making this kind of music anymore 😔 This is definitely what distinguishes today from yesteryear. This music is a gem that I will always return to, to fill my heart and soul, when I am wistful for the good old days; when people were more kind and helpful to their neighbours; when people spoke to eachother face to face; when people's gaze was forward facing rather than down at their dumb cell phones, contemplating their next idiotic selfie. At least we have our beautiful memories 💕😍
I absolutely Love Steely Dan ❤❤❤!!! And this is My Anthem!!! Josie was a Bad Bitch!!! Steely Dan told stories in their music 🎶 🎵!!! Steely Dan is My All Time Favorite Group!!!!!
Nice summer night in Wisconsin in 2023! Beautiful evening! Out deck sitting with a chocolate cherry cigar, a beer, and Steely Dan whilst on a short summer break as a teacher!
Just when you thought Steely Dan couldn’t surprise you,they would.This song had such a great groove.A one musicianship.Smooth doesn’t even begin to describe this band.It doesn’t get any better.✌️
Since 72's Can't buy a Thrill, I've followed their music. Saw them once in Vegas, they were amazing! The excitement of a new CD coming was like the next 007 movies! How easy it was to entertain our little minds!
This video alone should just about clinch it.....easily one of the top 5 (bands, Duo's or whatever you wanna call Steely Dan) of all time, and this particular video is one of their best Live performances ever. I've seen them a few times, but this live cut of "Josie" is the best one I've ever heard from them. Incredible!
This is one of those rare songs, that when you hear the opening chords, you KNOW what song it is! My hat is off to the group for putting out a well-recognized song!!!!
Thank you to radio stations who play music from all decades so I can remember songs I forgot about like this one 😎 and thanks to UA-cam for the videos 😎💯
Indeed!! The compositions of Donald Fagan and Walter Becker speak for themselves!! No nonsense chord changes, with no nonsense chord progressions with generous usage of the dominant 7th sharp 9 chords even vocally-- sounds so contemporary--- thats WHY their music will never sound stale or dated. Yes, indeed--- a group and " sound" that will stand the test of time!!
FANTASTIC! STILL CAN'T GET ENOUGH! When Josie comes home, so good She's the pride of the neighborhood She's the raw flame, the live wire She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire 🔥
Real old school, layed back in the pocket Funk. The bass player and the drummer are really locked in. And the guitar player's licks are awesome. No one is trying to out play the other. And the vocals top it off. Real true 70's groove. The key board's top it off
I hoping for a renascence in music. Sure there are some in the world out there who are talented and all but the scope is nothing like music from the pass. Real instruments, song writing etc. There are singers and songs people went to sleep on and now they are coming into full view.
Grew up with them going to college and beyond. Brings back many memories. Never get tired of hearing their music. Can't go to long without hearing their songs.
I still blast Steely Dan while driving thru Bluetooth! Is anybody writing "real music" any more? It was and still is great! I even blast John Denver! I believe there's been a music "mental block" since way back when! Everyone is waiting for Josie to come home!
Another masterpiece from Tom -- Thanks
You, sir, are my favorite viewer !
I second that statement :-)
@@thomaseliason8376 I particularly enjoy the 2 shot of Donald Fagan at the keyboad with the same head tilt at 1:50 GREAT

Becker is one of the greatest guitarists
100% all that music is deep in my soul..

They have no equal !
Steely Dan was simply the best. I've loved their music for a long long time.... I'm 75 and still rockin'...
59nyrs old my 2o yr old daughter loves this
One of the intellectual bands. Words can't express how I miss the seventies.
I was born in the 70's. But totally agree with you. The best music ever made was in the 70's. Although the early 80s were also good.
Take care
I know
How about 2023?
The 70´´s were great, all right. Lots of unforgettable concerts by world class bands and artists.

When everyone is watching hunting and fishing programs, I put my earbuds in and crank it up.I am 61,Steely Dan is one of my favorites to listen to.
I absolutely Love Steely Dan ❤❤❤!!! And this is My Anthem!!! Josie was a Bad Bitch!!! Steely Dan told stories in their music 🎶 🎵!!! Steely Dan is My All Time Favorite Group!!!!!
Checking out this classic in 2023 love Steely Dan👍👍♥️♥️
This album WAS 1977. Album of the year. The Dan, never fails.
I named my dog after this song 16 years ago and she's still the pride of the neighborhood! :)
My cousin Peg (yes, Peg) named her daughter Josie.
Now I want to rename my dog to Josie! Nice!
me too
I'm sorry-for your dog.
I’ll bet she is😂
Imagine your first yr of college getting to listen this new song on the radio… and all those other amazing songs from the late 70s.
Nice summer night in Wisconsin in 2023! Beautiful evening! Out deck sitting with a chocolate cherry cigar, a beer, and Steely Dan whilst on a short summer break as a teacher!
enjoy fellow wisconsinite..summer is around the corner bud!
short??
Their music is timeless. Sooo good
Soooooooooooooooooooooogood

This song does surprise you! I feel that.
Just taking the instrumental only throughout is mind-blowing and very catchy.
Great music, jazz and rock mixed together, so loose and yet so precise.
This and " Peg " are my two favourites of theirs. Memories of high school. :)
Please someone shoot me back into the seventies when life and the music of the Dan were so sweet...
THE BEST MUSICIANS AND BANDS WAS IN THE 70's .
Sorry Johan we can't shoot back into the 70s the last guy who thought he could accomplish that...I think was...U.S. Representative James Trafficant.
James Traficant was framed not to mention way ahead of his time God rest his Soul !
The sad thing is, none of my friends listened to them. I sure did, and snapped up every album I could.
Me too and know what I know now!!!!
You are the Stuff that I grew up with and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU!!
The super-smooth chorus is the tension release hook. So good. So damn dirty good
Can't touch this! Thanks UA-cam for sharing this with the world.
Steely Dan did it He brought the most beautiful music and singers and musicians to the stage.
Walter Becker was always such subdued perfection. RIP Walter!!
Walter Becker Fantastic
Nobody has or will copy the sound of this group. Crystal clear and a groove unto itself!
Over 40 years old now and it still sounds wonderful!
SD is one of those bands where the older you get, the better they sound.
gary krebs
Yes... but missing Walter Becker.... 😔
If you like prog rock ... this album is timeless!
I wouldn't call it prog per se. but it certainly is crossover: jazz/blues/funk. This particular song is jazzy disco.
@@thomaseliason8376 Yes, I agree.
I introduced my youngest brother to Steely Dan in 1975
He loved it
67 years old
I don't always listen to Steely Dan but when I do , so do my neighbors !
😊😊😊😊
This is the way
Steely Dan music is timeless. I started listening late 1973 after my return from CA USA
Todd Rundgren is MY ! Star , too
Greetings from Finland
Missing my Wonderful Walter.
Magnificent Masterpiece from Master Musicians, fan for over 50 years, top of the line solid gold standard of excellence
🗣That whole album (Aja) is MY JAAMM!!!💃🏾🔥💃🏾🔥
Blessings From Texas🤠
Cool montage of the boys -- you rock, they rock!🤘
Steely Dan bloody brilliant
I'm checking it out right now, love steely Dan. 😎🎸🎷🎺👏💃☮️✌️💯💋😉😁🙂😏☺️
One of my favorite bands back in the day & now!!
Saw them on Long Island back in 1973-74. Again in Oklahoma City in 2014. Best Band ever! RIP Walter. I listen to the Dan almost everyday.
It's now 2021and I'm still comin' back to this great sound... who Els here in 2021??
Bar none, the greatest sounding group, ever!
Since 72's Can't buy a Thrill, I've followed their music. Saw them once in Vegas, they were amazing! The excitement of a new CD coming was like the next 007 movies! How easy it was to entertain our little minds!
Excellent video editing the old with the newer performances!
Never get enough of Steely Dan!
Awesome and wonderful music! Great Steely Dan & Donald Fagen

My best great all time jazzy SD !! Got all their album's collection in my library !! Greetings from Jazzman KUL.
Steely Dan is my comfort food of music. Brings back so many memories of my youth. I will always love SD.
This is one of those rare songs, that when you hear the opening chords, you KNOW what song it is! My hat is off to the group for putting out a well-recognized song!!!!
Steely Dan Unlimited Perfectionist Band.
I love it..!!!
Over 40 years and still sounding good !!🎉
You know, don't you, that that was a lip sync to the album cut of the song.
What a pleasure it is to listen to and watch craftsmen and women. Great musicians, masters of their art. So good.
Pp
geniuses extraordinaire - you come home smoothly every time, even after four decades
Dam I miss the 70s, great music rather chilling out or riding SD made some soulful jam
You never cease to amaze me
I heard this song for the first time when I was a kid and fell in love with Steely Dan.
To the parents for creating these Brilliant musicians...The mould broke...Forever The Best...Goose Bumps for the past 30 years..Thank u So much...
That BASS line though. MELTS.
Steel Dan a great band from rock and music too special thanks so much
So nice. Aren't any bands like this anymore. Was a teenager in the 70's. How I miss music like this.
Thank you to radio stations who play music from all decades so I can remember songs I forgot about like this one 😎 and thanks to UA-cam for the videos 😎💯
Everyone doing their job. So perfect
Steely Dan,....simply one of the best bands ever. EVER. So many great songs and players. Still amazing. Listenable FOREVER!

She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame, the live wire
She prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire 🔥
Fantastic!!
Classic love that bass line.Great band .
BEAUTIFUL!!!! Can't get any better than this.
Royal Scam, Aja, Gaucho- the trifecta of Masterpiece Brilliance!
I'm 62 now & still jammin to Steely Dan

Just the fucking best, so brings me back to growing up in the 80’s. This music means more to me than anyone could imagine
Arguably their very Best

Steely Dan one of my all-time favorites. Good memories of my days in high school.
Does it get any better than this ? No it does not , best musicians making the best music ever.
One of the best bands ever.
I own all the studio and solo albums..... something about Aja.....
I think its just their Masterpiece
Cbuck Rainey on bass....what an inspiration :)
@@Vinnybrain Can't buy a thrill is not too shabby.
I guess that depends on how you define "band".
The best
Thanx Thomas.
Steely Dan is awesome ❤
Perfect drinking music to chill to. Always has been. Played in college dorms everywhere to this very day. Timeless group.
Thank you Thomas.
I love Steely Dan live !!
Me too !
Such a great group of musicians!!
One of the tightest and most technical bands ever. Still dig the jazz vibe.
That bass player is one of a kind. Very good player!
5 times now. In concert. The Beacon theater. NYC. RIP Walter
One of best albums in the history of music.
For sure!
There are no words that will do these guys justice... 😎
Hoo Boy! I've played Steely Dan lots in the past and enjoying it again now like it's brand new. Excellent music. Would love to have seen em live.
Even with Walter gone they are worth going to see. I have seen them six times, once without Walter.
Me too! If you reside in the US, they are on in Austin, Vienna June & July 2021.
Nothing follows Steely Dan. Too good. Very summer sound. Were great live at H. Bowl, despite asshole drinkers needing attention.
