Paul Humprey's drumming is also hard to cover . Remember you are talking about the best session players in the buisness . Nonetheless the cover was pretty good.
Every musician in this is perfect … that back up singer lady - god she’s got the whole “melty background Steely Dan Sound.” Every one on perfect point. But (keyboard player here) … that old man on bass. Good Lord - man. He’s got that timing and anchoring everything. Focking respect man. You making that sound like it’s easy.
Hey Doc true Dan fans have an appreciation, love and knowledge of music that others just do not understand . Dan music is real art for the mind and soul .
Nobody today is ever going to spend a million U.S. dollars on making a record. Imagine having the balls to go to ABC or MCA and tell them the session they just paid $50, 000 for is a wash-out and you're going to have to go back, jack, and do it again (see what I did there?).
WOW! Just wow! You guys nailed it! Besides maybe Steely themselves, I don't think I've heard a better rendition. The fact that you did this online with each other makes it even more impressive.
That's pretty much what I was going say. From the very first note, I was like, "Wow! This is totally authentic in nearly every way!" Respect from the US.
Sorry people but... Steely Dan doesn't sound nearly as good live as these wonderful Irish musicians. I actually hate Steely Dan''s live rendition of "Black Cow."
I just saw UA-cam video of Leonid and Friends doing "My Old School" and commented my astonishment that anybody could ever do a cover of anything this good. I would not have bet in a million years that a couple of days later I would see a Steely Dan cover that is even BETTER. If I ever see a Steely Dan cover more perfect than this one, I will eat my hat.
As an avid Dan Fan for over 50 years and also a musician/writer who has played their music, I love what you've done here. Steely Dan are no better than you when they're live. But this is more like a live recording, which I find more 'musical' and real. Well done, guys.
I always approach UA-cam covers of Steely Dan songs with a high degree of skepticism. MANY of them are less than what you would hope for. But in THIS case, I was somewhat shocked at how well this was done. Great job all the way around! Thank you.
Hi Mark. WOW! 1. To have the courage to even think about covering Steely Dan. 2. Pulling it the hell off WAY above and beyond expectations. Not to mention in this forum. Blown away! Great job!!! WOW!
Wow .. I am a huge SD fan and just heard your band cover Jack of Speed (amazing!) so I thought I should check out more. So glad that I did as this cover of Black Cow is among the very best that I have heard. I am subscribed and looking forward to hearing more. all the best
The sound was brilliant and the feel even better still, I think steely dan themselves would be proud of this composition and maybe even flattered at the quality of the rendition here, well done team.nice.
This is my single favorite Steely Dan song, and you ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT! Outstanding work and amazing musicianship on display! May you soon be able to jam together! Thank you for sharing this!
Why don't you have a bazillion subscribers? What's wrong with this world we live in??? Sigh.... So sleek, so lovely. Perfect in every way. Thanks so much!
The entire group is amazing. Steely Dan has been one of my favorite bands since the 1970's when I was a teenager. The great sax playing reminds me of the famous Bobby Keys of Rolling Stones fame.
Nice. A very eclectic group doing a Dan song that exemplifies that smooth meld which makes Fagan’s music and metaphor so specifically interesting and always musically on point...the music and the message...nice.
Well... damn... wow. I have no think. I'm still speechless.. and that is rarer than finding a cover of steely dan that actually does the music justice. BRAVO
You've all done so well with this cover… I'm so impressed. Ive listened to the original since it came out but I really love this and what a lovely female backing voice from that lady who's so subtle but full of texture. Thank you everyone.
Very, very good! It's so easy to see bands cover Dan tunes and sound like a lounge act. Super accurate, great silky tone, wonderful vocals, Fat AF groove.
Worth playing for ever and ever again. The feeling is in the composition, that unique feeling. If you play it good, like these guys do, it's all there. Thank you Donald and Walter for your inspiration.
@@markwildesax No worries - music is the essence of life. The oligarchs are systematically dragging us all down to survival mode (again!) with their gaslightin' and restrictions. Fools. If only they knew how to love life. Alas!! BTW you guys are good. Keep it up. The Irish are a musical bunch...deep in their bones. Greetings from Australia.
The problem with Dan covers is very few can match Fagan’s voice or the production quality. They did a very good job of both
Thanks 🙏
Paul Humprey's drumming is also hard to cover . Remember you are talking about the best session players in the buisness . Nonetheless the cover was pretty good.
Agreed. I might have liked a larger compliment of woodwinds in this arrangement. Would have filled out the coda. But, Yes! a good cover.

Thank you so much for the kind comments. From the “old man “ on bass!
The old man sings quite well
If you’re not a Steely Dan fan I don’t know what to say. They put music together like no one else.
Hey Doc true Dan fans have an appreciation, love and knowledge of music that others just do not understand . Dan music is real art for the mind and soul .
Yup...no substitute....
I don't trust anyone who doesn't love Steely

Never a truer word spoken
Guys seriously, you NAILED IT!!! That sax solo? Come on man.
Deserves more views! Great guys
Thanks G

So outrageous indeed! I love SD. Fantastic cover - bravo!

Thank you thank you devoted musicians - needed this .

Great presentation! other bands can learn from this kind of video. Thanks!
The Vic Feldman Rhodes solo is just insane
I have to react. It sounds exactly like my yamaha clavinova
Wow! Absolutely incredible!
Unbelievably good. The talent is so thick here. Beautiful

You've all done so well with this cover… I'm so impressed. Ive listened to the original since it came out but I really love this and what a lovely female backing voice from that lady who's so subtle but full of texture. Thank you everyone.

Thanks 🙏
Great job! Steely Dan is a fabulous band and has certainly had a big
influence on our song writing and approach to production. You nailed
