One of the greatest guitar solos ever, courtesy of Larry Carlton.
You never grow out of Steely Dan....you grow into them-Jack
Thank you, Mr. Schitt😉
Fagen and Becker were (R.I.P. Walter Becker) The Best song composers and arrangers, EVER. They had Only the Best musicians record with them. Musical Perfection ! Welcome to the Land Of Dan!
Thank you!😁
Owsley was the Walter from Breaking Bad of the 60's. He was caught trying to get away when his car ran out of gas.
SD classic period (1972 - 1980) had over 60 songs in which every one was great. I love their rock/jazz/funk/R&B fusion sound. A very deep rabbit hole for sure. Their fan base is huge and I am hooked on SD music reaction videos. Keep them coming!
Thank you for watching!😁
SD’s sound is timeless. 50 years later and their music still sounds fresh.
Babylon Sister is a Steely Dan Tune, must listen to it...!
Stanley was the lead sound engineer for The Grateful Dead. He also was the purveyor of home-made "kitchen clean" LSD that fueled a lot of the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll party scene in San Francisco in the late 60s-early 70s.
Try “Peg”!
Steely Dan has no bad tracks ... All top tier .. its due to Donald and Walter being perfectionists. Enjoy this ride ❤
Yes, definitely react to the Steely Dan SONG titled “Babylon Sisters” from their Gaucho album.
👍🏼🎸🎼❤️😎
FWIW, it's really hard to make LSD. Owsley was a terrific chemist.
Tremendous band, this song isn't one of my personal favorites, but they have tons of great ones. Try "Peg", or "Deacon Blue", or "Rikki don't lose that number" or "Aja", but they have dozens of excellent songs. Amazing writers/arrangers, and they worked with the best studio musicians of their day. The tracks were all basically FLAWLESS. No note out of place, the band all together and first rate every second, and all done without digital fixing up, auto-tune, etc., etc.!
You've just found the perfect rabbit hole. 😎😎😎😎😎
One of the best albums you will ever listen to also i advise you to listen to what were once vices are now habbits by the doobie brothers another top 10 of mine 🎸🎸🎸
It is pure fire.
The Royal Scam Album is all hits, in my top 10 all time greats.
If you liked this, you are going to Love Steely Dan.
I was into punk in 1976, so this album passed me by at the time. What was I thinking? Even some of the punk bands I liked were secretly into Steely Dan. It would have been career suicide for them to admit it though. Punk was a very welcome change from the turgid prog rock bilge that dominated the UK album charts in 1976, but Steely Dan was a class act.
Punk is cool!🤘🏾Having an appreciation for any genre is bad a**! Rock on!🎶🎸
@@DLynn Most of my rockin' is done in a chair now. 😏
@jamesrowe3606 oh my! 🤣 rockin out can occur from anywhere...as long as you're happy and safe!
@@jamesrowe3606 Hell yeah! 😎🤣
So much more material that you will get into!! A long, winding rabbit hole! There is also Becker and Fagen’s solo material!
Oh boy...🤪
Nothing better than seeing them do this song live.
Steely Dan does a song Babylon Sister off of the album Gaucho. You should check that one out.
I like how it says the man is wise and it's owl-sley, haha...
Yeah, that was ironic and weird!🤣
Yes you have great taste😅 it's a fabulous band
I have people who have great taste leading me in the right direction 😁
@@DLynn ❤
Wow D! I don't believe I have ever heard anyone react to a suggestion just from the comment section before! and I appreciate you in a BIG way! Kanye West actually sampled this. I just love that you did some background on them and the song. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia to fill in a few gaps, "Augustus Owsley Stanley III (January 19, 1935 - March 12, 2011) was an American-Australian audio engineer and clandestine chemist. He was a key figure in the San Francisco Bay Area hippie movement during the 1960s and played a pivotal role in the decade's counterculture. Under the professional name Bear, he was the sound engineer for the Grateful Dead, recording many of the band's live performances. Stanley also developed the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound, one of the largest mobile sound reinforcement systems ever constructed. Stanley also helped Robert Thomas design the band's trademark skull logo.[1]
Called the Acid King by the media,[2][3] Stanley was the first known private individual to manufacture mass quantities of LSD.[4][5][6] By his own account, between 1965 and 1967, Stanley produced at least 500 grams of LSD, amounting to a little more than five million doses.[7] " [Wikipedia:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owsley_Stanley]
Steely Dan is such a rabbit hole, and I will leave it to others for further recommendations, although my handle, Babylon Sister is from one of their songs, Babylon Sisters. Having lived in S.F. from the east coast and having left a part of my heart there, these songs are personal for me.
They are well known for their perfectionism, and super clean productions, and actually used 40 various session musicians for the album, Aja. Thanks again for taking on this suggestion. May your musical journey be a long and fruitful one! You. my friend are a class act!
Steely Dan is a great American rock band founded in 1971. They had a lot of great hits such as "Do It Again", "Dirty Work", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Hey Nineteen", "Josie", "Aja", "Peg", "Reelin' In The Years", "Deacon Blues", "FM", "Show Biz Kids", "My Old School", "Babylon Sisters" etc."
Owsley Acid
Strange days and fun times!!...
I kinda remember it?!!...
Their finest effort is their album Aja. It's highly jazz and funk infused. You might want to check it out.
Kid Charlemagne was a genius chemist who experimented in creation of psychedelic drugs.
Love Steele dan grew up on their music.
Guitar solo is the great Larry Carlton . That’s considered one of the greatest guitar solos.
Thank you!
1.24.24. 1976 My High School Graduation Year … superb music™️🎸
Steely Dan was notorious for bringing in the best studio musicians, sound engineers, and technicians. Everything they did was pure precision and top notch. Suggest watching their concert video Two Against Nature (Plush TV Jazz-Rock conçert version) to GET the full Steely Dan experience!!
Hit their tune Hey 19.
Hey good to see you
I believe that drug dealer actually handled sound production during The Grateful Dead concerts.A legendary artist that have over fifty great songs combining fantastic and mostly true stories with a funky jazzy style with the best studio musicians around just about anywhere. Try reacting to songs like Deacon Blues, My Old School, Dr. Wu, and Bad Sneakers!
That cracked me up...the sound guy?! I guess inspiration comes from anywhere!🤣 Thank you for watching and for your suggestions!
Loved your reaction!
Thank you for watching!
Also this song part of the Royal scam album with many consider their mask masterpiece
Stanley was THE acid dealer of the 60's when LSD ruled the drug culture. But by the 70's, acid had fallen out of favor. The line "you were obsolete, look at all the white men on the street.", the white men are referring to cocaine dealers. And the line "Is there gas in the car, yes there's gas in the car." is ironic because after years of eluding the police, he finally got caught when his car ran out of gas.
Thank you for the insight! I kinda giggled at the gas part...I guess it wasn't meant to be funny😬🤷🏽♀️
No, it was funny, well at least ironic that gas would be the thing that finally did him in. Thing was he was a genius also with audio equipment and developed cutting edge sound systems for some of the top bands of the era as well as the best acid. Which put him in contact with some of the most frequent users of acid like the Grateful Dead that was definitely advantageous for his side business. One last thing, Kanye West sampled the end of the first verse for his song Champion. @@DLynn
I'm impressed by the background work you did, most reactors don't!
Aw...thank you!😁
@@DLynn Agreed!!
Steely Dan was fusion of Rock Jazz mostly
They always use the best musicians in the business. Look up Owsley Stanley....world famous LSD maker/dealer. Steely Dan....perfection.
There's a "controversy" on this song: is Larry Carlton's guitar solo the greatest ever? I think the case can be made- they always hired the best studio musicians and had the best production. I think you'll revisit them again.
No, they don't do rock. More of a jazz rock funk blend. 'Deacon Blues' is a song that sums them up better. Have fun, it's a deep rabbit hole! They were just two guys, but sounded like a big band because they hired the best studio musicians for backing. Like Frank Zappa- another worthwhile avenue to explore!
Bodhisattva, Black Friday and Don't Take Me Alive are as rocking as can be.
Interesting a lady talking to me as if i were in the passenger seat of your car... You setup makes me feel I am in the car with you, the Star. Know you will enjoy😊
😘😘😘
I like you much. This is appreciated. I don't hear reggae in their music. The Police, yes .. Roxanne. Try it. More Steely Dan, yes try Peg or Josie... Or Decon Blues which is my fave by this band...
They are unique, one of the best ever. Check out only a fool would say that. A real slap in the face to the late John Lennon for his hypocritical Imagine
Prolly more rock oriented on this song than their others. Jazz reggae pop rock are featured in others. Let's just call them urban contemporary
Just checked you out and love your reaction @courtnywallace is right. Larry Carlton is still a monster guitar player. Check out his Room 335 from album of same name. I’m subscribed!
Thank you for checkin' me out and for subbing! Welcome to my channel! I hope I can check put your suggestion...sooner than later!
"Did you realize, that you were a champion in their eyes?" Steely Dan - 1976
Stolen by Kanye West - 2007
Bear made the best stuff.
word of warning if you go down the SD rabbit hole it’s extremely hard to get out but you will one incredible journey 🙃
if you go down the SD rabbit hole (which I highly recommend you do 🙃) you will find it extremely hard to get out.
Did you catch the Kanye sample? Champion...
What?! Where?
Where did they get the name Steely Dan? Ha, look it up...
Sold lsd, then coke was the thing ( white men on the street)
😅
I think he's talking about "Crack Cocaine." "Then you crossed a Diamond with a Pearl." It's about a drug Dealer in any event.
Charles Manson is what you associate the '60s with? That's a pretty skewed view...
Um, not the whole 60s...I'm pretty sure I mention Haight-Ashbury, in relation to where the guy who is the inspo for this song was said to have hung out.
All the crap you’re listening to you could have been playing this band , time wasted
Others may have commented... the lyrics on the video you used are stupid wrong. Grab a copy of actual real lyrics and listen again, just for you own benefit. Sad to see you used a bum copy of the lyrics... it was just too painful to watch you groove to butchered lyrics. Better luck next time.
Steely Dan isn’t really a band 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, I read they kinda did session work but always wound up recording together. Or something to that effect.
@@DLynn They are a band ~ they, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker Are the band ~ they have some of the best musicians on the planet, some who are studio musicians, play with them. The goal is to pair the perfect musician for the song they've written. Steely Dan is a complex, brilliant band of musicians.
@jessicalee7119 please correct me, for sure! I get my info from the internet, which can be and usually is wrong. Thank you for the correct info!😁
@@DLynn It wasn't meant as a correction ~ just information. 🙂I've been a Dan Fan for 50 plus years after seeing them waaayyyy back in 1972! There are a lot of us out there who are thrilled to see another generation being introduced to their music. Thanks for reacting to them ~
