@@lukeguitar1 almost too perfect. The background rhythm part - I think it's a sound from a keyboard (possibly a sequenced part) sounds EXACTLY like the original recording.

I don't see anyone playing it, and I don't know if it's possible to play it "by hand" and have it be so perfectly tight. I mean, , I'm a keyboard player and I know theoretically it's possible to have played it perfectly, but it seems unlikely - and more to the point , I don't see anyone playing it.

And in any case, Carlton's playing is sublime; and he's definitely playing live. :)
@@skykeys I think you know whereof you speak. It's kind of too good to be totally live. However, there's a huge gulf between your typical cell phone recording of a live concert, and this, which the link you provided illustrates only too well. There's no way to get any where near this kind of audio quality unless you have a pre-arranged setup to record the live performance properly. Otherwise you get just waaay too much room ambience, improper instrumental balance, standing waves, etc. This performance recording was obviously thought out ahead of time. And post production/mixing would also be an important factor.
I don’t think Larry Carlton is using his own guitar. It’s probably Tom Hemby’s guitar. Listen to this a few times and you will hear something different each time. It’s that good.
I grew up with one of Larry's cousins. I ran into him several times over the years. One thing about Larry he really hasn't changed over the years. Very cool guy and if he can he'll give you time if you ever met him. The way to Larry's heart is fishing... he loves fishing with his cousin Steve.
Larry, Larry, Larry! The musician other musicians pay to see. Listen to Third World Man to further remind you of just what a remarkable professional this dude is. Clearly, one of the best covers of one of Donald's classics.
A huge "thank you" to everyone involved! This is one of my favorite songs, and such an excellent cover version. Larry Carlton is amazing, but that's something that I expect from him. What suprised me in a cover-version was just how good everyone else was, and especially Scott with his excellent keyboard, and how his singing complemented Donald Fagen's original voice. Y'all have put a HUGE smile on my face! 🙂
I am floored by the thought that the harmonica player is also an phenomenal guitar player. People that can play multiple instruments at that level are amazing to me.
JUST can't stop commenting on this video! The sound quality... the camera angles... the fine musicians.......brings a few tears to my eyes every time I hear it !
Of course the players are unsurprisingly fine, but I wanted to give a shout for the guy doing that sweet vocal rendition. DF's voice is a unique one and not that easy to capture. This guy did a really outstanding job here.
At a Russ Taff concert once, John starts the hi-hat lead in to a song when suddenly Russ decides to put his guitar down and preach for a while. John keeps playing. After several minutes, I'm thinking any second now John's arms are gonna fall off. He just kept going. That was in the 80's.
@@TNKeys You are so right, forgive my error! ..Should have been about DF!.... Nevertheless you guys kicked ass & probably sound better "live" than SD! RESPECT
@@paulychannel7914 No error my friend. I was just agreeing about Larry being in the background. He didn’t want the show to be about him, he just wanted to play along and be a part of it. He was very sweet, and went on to hire me to do some charts for his live show.
youtube feeds this to me over and over. because it knows that SD/DF is the best ever and i'm addicted to it - being a musician and songwriter myself. but this takes us back to a place my Dad built, with a party and a shelter and lots of beer, a big blonde who looks like Tuesday Weld. how do you not go into a cool place in the shade of this pop/jazz masterpiece w/ Larry Carlton for crying out loud! everyone here did a wonderful job i will say again.
WOW! The legendary Larry Carlton. I knew this was going to be good. I've seen several SD tribute bands and have been lucky enough to have seen SD live before Becker died, once in Vegas w/ Larry Carlton. You all are better than the tribute bands I've seen. Well done.
Amazing dedication to the original❤what’s their name? With this (and the immortal Larry Carlton)they’ve earned my respect and admiration. And for a STEELY SNOB, like myself, for it to still be welcomed and enjoyed, I’m(almost)speechless! Lol
Right. I've been listening to lots of covers of SD tracks recently, but this is the first cover I've heard of a Nightfly track. They do a great job and there's no greater accolade than having Larry Carlton play guitar.
Had NO idea Tom Hemby also plays harmonica. It’s dead on for the LP recording. And having Mr. 335 himself, just tucked away back there as part of the rhythm section - this is too much!
So I absently click on this Donald Fagen cover, kind of expecting to hear it mauled - Fagen’s hard to cover. Then I’m thinking, “Wow, smooth BGVs and guitar player has Larry Carlton’s sound nailed pretty good.” Then I’m thinking, “Ha, he even looks like Larry Carlton...” Then I read the credits. John Hammond and Gary Lunn are both such fine players, so much to love about this whole group. Very pleasant surprise.
I keep seeing Tom Hemby, their regular lead guitarist, looking over at Larry Carlton with a smile on his face. What it must feel like to have the OG on stage with you...gives me shivers.
Who on earth would give this a thumbs down "Please show yourselves", and maybe a reason why? Are you Jealous, that you are not as good as anybody on this stage? This is A-Class act, soon to be gone in the next few yrs
Who wants to listen to wonderfully crafted tunes performed by some of the best musicians of the time? Ya, I can't figure out SD haters, doesn't make musical sense...Loved the cover.
This is absolutely outstanding. Steely Dan are my all time favourite band, but I just love it when a group of very, very talented people get together and do a cover of their stuff. People like this bring something extra special to SD's amazing music.
This is superb musicianship. Donald Fagan/Steely Dan will be played at my funeral so I can enjoy for eternity. And just think, some folks listen to "Pitbull", I'm not joking!!!
Played perfectly by all the band members. But Larry's playing gives the song the special touch it needed on the original album and her live... his playing definitely sticks out. One of my all time heroes.
Words that come to mind. Absolutely amazing Incredible performance! With Larry Carlton too? How sweet is that! Just an Absolutely terrific performance of a timeless masterpiece by a great composer!
@@TNKeys there are just so many hits from these two that it was as if the guys and girls were looking at a radio or a record player and waiting for those last notes as their ears and memories rode the last perfect waves to the shore line on which the small fire surrounded by friends and family members watching another perfect sun set.
He's one of those guys, sure he sounds great on a record, but when you see him live, you REALLY get it. All the little nuances... one of the absolute best guitarists of his era for sure
Thanks! I went to Steely Dan concert at Osaka Japan in 1994. The drummer was a legendary Peter Erskine. I rather love their Live in 1970's! Jeff Porcaro was super super cool!! Jeff Baxter as well! They were all young and super energetic!
@@darylcadman2863 I see. Anyway the drummer in The Chicken Live was Peter! The collaboration of Super Legend Jaco and Peter is miracle groove and tone! I wanna try to cover it in my youtube channel!
I just clicked on the video because I saw Donald Fagen and New frontier in the title, one of my favorite songs from Donald and had no idea it was a cover. Fooled me for a bit, awesome group and the Harmonies! Loved the bass, drums, guitar riffs...everything!
My experience with this song makes me feel so good. My great grandmother converted a bunch of old 8mm videos onto a VHS tape in the 70s so it’s just a bunch of old short videos that cut from random things like my uncle painting out house to my aunts and uncles as kids swimming to my dads first birthday. I used to watch that tape all the time when I was a kid
I want that drum n bass on loop playing that groove in my house every morning to punch me through my day. “Ok, just take it to the top again, that’s right. Never stop.”
I've seen Steely Dan live six times but have never seen Larry Carlton. When the pandemic ends and I can travel, I am going to see Larry Carlton live. It's on my bucket list! And maybe that all-star lineup will be playing too!
Larry Carlton is phantastic with his own band. I had the pleasure to hear him live about five times. Also had a chat with him and he's a really nice guy.
Watched Larry play 3 times .Boston Massachusetts after he survived a gunshot to his neck. Then years later in Georgie with Fourplay twice. Amazing clean super tight notes .
Who in their right freaking mind would give this a “thumbs down”?????? I would be honored to be on stage, singing back up, and playing a percussive instrument with this bunch - holy frick was this good!!
Donald Fagans music is so different and popular. His sounds,the compositions,the rhythm. It sounds like it shouldn't work but it does. Amazing, can't stop listening to his style of music.
Besides this being an absolute great performance by outstanding muscians, what a great moment at the end giving a standing ovation for Larry. Pure class!
That was just crazy! The background vocals, the drummer, the dude on bass, harmonica, Donald Fagen keyboards…. Just crazy!! Not everyone can play Fagen’s music!!!
50 years old. Fagen has been my favourite artist for 40 years and the New Frontier is number one for me. Listened to it every day for 40 years. Would love to get to a live show but living in Australia and the damn COVID-19 i don't see that happening any time soon.
What has impressed me is that, despite what must have been painstaking work to recreate the sound with such accuracy, they are all so joyful in doing so. Thank you.
Very impressive! I was sitting in my garage drinking my IPA while listening to my playlist UA-cam provided me and realized that this does not sound like Donald Fagan. Very well done!
What guitarist in his right mind would have the balls to step on a wah pedal during this song? Tom seemed surprised to hear it but then smiles approvingly, like, “Damn, if he doesn’t make that wah sound perfect for this part!” Brilliant.
I hope people understand that it's basically impossible to sound like this. I hope you guys do more DF. I'd fly out from California to see you guys. Thank you for this gem and ALL HAIL LARRY CARLTON
Nashville is one of the few cities where you can get this many artists together for something like this. It doesn’t hurt that Larry Carlton lives there.
Whoever miked and mixed this performance deserves a gold star!
On-point comment toznerd. I can't believe they got the rythm section in such perfect balance. Nothin' but Pocket baby!!
Crisp, clean great tone across the spectrum - just enough reverb - masterful

That was me. I'm also his guitar teacher. And, then, I WOKE UP!🤣
I'm amazed that anyone can sound this close to the studio version, even Fagen.
I was just about to comment the same thing until I scrolled to yours.I agree 💯% with you.This sounds like they're in a studio.
Yeah that was very impressive!
I'm going with ' it probably helps to have Larry Carlton in your band' .... 😵💫🤗. But, yeah.. these folks are truly PHENOMENAL!
I don’t think Larry Carlton is using his own guitar. It’s probably Tom Hemby’s guitar.
Listen to this a few times and you will hear something different each time. It’s that good.
I swear I just thinking that!!!
When I listened first time, I was seventeen years young boy .
Now I am 56 years old boy, but still be young boy in mind.
Master piece!
Wonderful ... that drummer is right on the mark. Mr Carlton is tastefully understated - what a legend.
sorry, that is the wrong snare for this song. and he's rushing.

Not a cover band . A MASTER band !!! OMG !
Holy shit that's the ACTUAL Larry Carlton!!
Awesome
The one and only Larry Carlton. Saw him at a jazz festival at a small venue in Austin Texas about 30 yrs ago. He was no less amazing then.
I grew up with one of Larry's cousins. I ran into him several times over the years. One thing about Larry he really hasn't changed over the years. Very cool guy and if he can he'll give you time if you ever met him. The way to Larry's heart is fishing... he loves fishing with his cousin Steve.
Lol and several other pro session players:)
Accept no substitutes !!!
Anyone that loves Steely Dan and Donald Fagen is alright in my book!!!
I’m the Biggest Steely Dan Fan I know!! That was ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!
Wow!!! Insanely Good
se tu sei il più grande fan degli Steely Dan e perchè non conosci me,facciamo a gara?

I sure miss seeing them in person at 3rd & Lindsley!!
It's a year later and I agree with you my friend. They are all terrific and the sound...must be a blast to see them live
Same
Listen to quarantine cover playing "the new Frontier", if you did,nt know it, you would swear its Steely dan, its scarily brilliant.
To cover Fagen you need all of that and more !
It's one thing to claim badass but another to prove it true.
Like everyone is saying, this is so faithful to the original it's uncanny! Amazing!
Frickin awesome..hats off to the recording engineer/mixer
The version is stunning but Larry's performance is out of this world
Of course the players are unsurprisingly fine, but I wanted to give a shout for the guy doing that sweet vocal rendition. DF's voice is a unique one and not that easy to capture. This guy did a really outstanding job here.
Thank you sir.
@@TNKeys I agree. You gave it a Fagen feel but still kept it your own. Brilliant!

The Drummers great
Mr. John Hammond
I've ended up listening to this even more than the original. Larry Carlton's exquisite solo towards the end.. pure unadulterated joy.
Love the way Larry is just hiding in the background ! What a LEGEND. Band did a nice job too!....... KUDOS

This is one of Fagen's finest compositions. Imaginative. Bright. Brilliant.
The album was a genial move from DF after the SD disbanding
The drummer is a machine.......or is playing to a track. The groove is so solid it's almost relentless.
Perfect!!! Larry Carlton played on the original D.Fagen album, some 40 years ago, but he's still the one...
Drummer is a machine!! Great groove:)
And there is sequenced percussion - The return of Wendel!
I was just thinking that! He's amazing!
Also now I focused on him he is so smooth but rock solid on that groove, so tight
I don’t think I could have done it, without throwing in a needless fill. If I played like that, I’d leave my toms at home.

Fantastic!
Larry is giving this special feeling I cannot describe, but it's the Dan-feeling. ;)
Just lovely....
You're right...that guitar sound is the number one SD sound for me
the 70s fusion vibe
because larry is the dan-sound :)
That’s how Larry rolls. He’s the very best IMHO.

How special Larry Carlton is spinning his magic on this classic Donald Fagen tune. Great job by all.
Actually it's from Fagen's classic solo album from 1982...
Killed it. 1980 I was a caddy. Caddy master played this album every morning. Loved every note
Presque aussi beau que "FM" que j'avais découvert en écoutant radio FIP , en 1978 , à Paris !!
Quelle DÉCOUVERTE à l' époque
Fantastic cover from great musicians. Plus what a boon to have Larry Carlton guesting on the track. Absolutely amazing! 😎👍🏻
I love the part where he shreds a lead and then walks over to the girls and talks to them with a sweet subtle lead! Favorite part of this video!

50 years old. Fagen has been my favourite artist for 40 years and the New Frontier is number one for me. Listened to it every day for 40 years. Would love to get to a live show but living in Australia and the damn COVID-19 i don't see that happening any time soon.
What has impressed me is that, despite what must have been painstaking work to recreate the sound with such accuracy, they are all so joyful in doing so. Thank you.
Very impressive! I was sitting in my garage drinking my IPA while listening to my playlist UA-cam provided me and realized that this does not sound like Donald Fagan. Very well done!
Larry is a gifted genius. Tone touch phrasing notes...

What guitarist in his right mind would have the balls to step on a wah pedal during this song? Tom seemed surprised to hear it but then smiles approvingly, like, “Damn, if he doesn’t make that wah sound perfect for this part!” Brilliant.
The harmony on the live chorus, just superb.
Immaculate. Wow. The drumming is incredible, the bass is so tasteful, that dude on the guitar really seems to know this song.
Amazing rendition of this Donald Fagan classic.
This is pure aural gold - incredible!
Love you image. Great comment
Now THAT'S a cover!
I hope people understand that it's basically impossible to sound like this. I hope you guys do more DF. I'd fly out from California to see you guys. Thank you for this gem and ALL HAIL LARRY CARLTON
Nashville is one of the few cities where you can get this many artists together for something like this. It doesn’t hurt that Larry Carlton lives there.
In the presence of greatness.
Larry "Mr335" Carlton what cool guy. Band nailed it. 👍
I could have listened to that outro another 10 hours
Miss the days when we could go to shows like this !
The video of this song has always been a favorite. Grew up during the Kennedy years. Great memories of what might have been.
Musical instruments singing in perfect harmony! Thats my idea of live music!
This is the FINEST outro I have ever heard. Truly spectacular.
