    As a guy in a cover band I have two comments. 99% of cover bands don’t attempt or shouldn’t attempt Steely Dan because of the technical ability you have to have to do it right. Also this vocalist deserves massive credit this is a really really talented group. Well done, bravo.

      You have idea how much I was into Steely Dan.
      I had very expensive taste in stereos back Int the day. steely Dan was the best sound, style, completely different than ‘pop and rock’.
      I’m binging now

    Loved it, that was great, everyone played their parts to perfection; especially when you consider most of us will be comparing it to the original recording - and this was LIVE!
    I think the only thing I would change would be to re-mix with the lead guitar beefed up fractionally but that may just be me listening on my iPad.
    Well done and thank you!
