    I believe Dr. Wu is one of my top favorites (among many from SD). This one clearly shows DF's penchant for film noir ala Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett while on the edge of a vividly colorful world he's created for us. I can tell it's a favorite of yours as well since you've done at least two versions. Still, I'm hoping for the definitive tutorial from above as you've done with Time Out of Mind for this one as it's a showcase for many of the subtle keyboard magic tricks DF uses from Katey Lied onward, and it's been over 13 years since this version.
    Looking forward to that and many more - maybe Rose Darling? Charlemagne? 3rd World Man?

    I sang, and I almost cried, because this is the Perfect song. The piano, the lyrics ... DAMN GOOD Song!

    Wonderful! I love Dr Wu, and primarily because the piano is so beautiful. Even with all the intricate writing and variety of instruments, the piano stands out. You have shown how the melody stands on it's own with just the piano. I love it, thank you for sharing.

    This is wonderful. I was looking thru some Steely Dan vids and came across your instrumental. Beautiful. Thanks.

    Awesome! I love your interpretations of SD's stuff. Thought I had this stuff figured out right, but I hear sonorities in your interpretations that I don't have covered....damn! Thanks for posting!

    I read the Brian Sweet autobiography of SD and they used a particular piano in the studio on Katy Lied and its stamp is all over the album. I love that album and Dr Wu is one of their beautiful ballads with an amazing sax solo .Hard to pick a favourite Dan album but Katy Lied is right up there.

    • @Flavum
      @Flavum 6 років тому

      The late, great Phil Woods performed that solo. A perfect example of playing for the song.

    It took me 10 years to give 11 TOW a fair listen, and I have spun it pretty regularly for the past five. As much as I really wanted to like Morph The Cat, it's truly a collection of songs I don't need to hear.

  • @logosthedestroyer

    I will certainly try! Yeah thanks I appreciate that its one of my favourite beats. Thanks v much for the kind words :)

    Fantastic Job! Learned this great Steely Dan song from your tutorial and its the best song we do in our family band. Can you post any other Steely Dan songs as tutorials with a good angle? Kid Charlemagne anything...... These guys are the tightest band I have ever heard.

  • @logosthedestroyer

    I think you're the guy I responded to some time ago regarding the Josie part on Rhodes? Once again you've done a fantastic job and even included some horn parts into the melody. Fantastic effort. Shame you're so far away because a lot of the stuff I write is similarly based chordally, although a little more modern, and thankfully I'm a guitar player. Wouldn't be able to compete with that. :-)

    Hey - thanks for responding... I'm not intimately acquainted with each of their solo material, but every time I saw the Dan live the contrast shone through sharply. The first time was at SPAC a number of years back from that show I just remember how weak Becker's solo material was. More recently at the Beacon, he tried to sing one of the songs and it just wilted. Anyway - kudos to Becker, he has some great guitar work in there. But good players are far more common than great writers.

    Seems so difficult at first to play, I guess. Kinda Jazzy a bit. Love to hear the main part (in my opinion) of this song - Piano sound.

  • @logosthedestroyer
    @logosthedestroyer  16 років тому

    Hey thanks man I appreciate that! Yeah Australia is quite far for a collaboration I guess lol, but you never know! It would be great to hear some of your stuff, why not upload some? :)

  • @ejt00b
    @ejt00b 15 років тому

    Interesting - see, I would argue that most of those songs are about much more than "the party excess lifestyle" - that's all subjective anyway, what is "excess...."
    Less important in a sense than the story itself sometimes is how it's told - and as you said, Fagen is a deep storyteller; he is a poet and an artist.

  • @martinofm
    @martinofm 13 років тому

    Could you please tell the chords during the sax break?
    The music I have doesn't cover that part.

  • @maartenvanderpoll
    @maartenvanderpoll 14 років тому

    @logosthedestroyer Ah ! ok :-)
    and the Dutch is your own or the translater's ? :-))
    Anyway, nice sound and well played. I wish to play like that some day, but i have just started with my keyboard

  • @andyinoregon

  • @logosthedestroyer
    @logosthedestroyer  16 років тому

    I would if I had the time CTruman, unfortunately I have my dissertation (in history lol) to get done this month but maybe after that! The thing is the 'chords' and tune are the same in this, so just giving the chords might not be much help. Thanks for the offer on peg though!

  • @logosthedestroyer

    @maartenvanderpoll Oh nee, ik niet, ik wil alleen maar om beleefd te zijn! Ik uit England, Stourbridge. Ja, het is een Yamaha ik speel, een p-120's, dat is ongeveer 10 jaar oud.

  • @logosthedestroyer
    @logosthedestroyer  15 років тому

    From what I gather, Walter is more a psychological counterbalance to Fagen

  • @ejt00b
    @ejt00b 15 років тому

    Please let me know what the "Walt" side of this song is, or most of Dan's COMPOSITIONS. When you see Fagen and Becker side by side, you realize where the strength of this band lies. Becker could have been any decent guitarist (sorry, Walt!)

  • @ejt00b
    @ejt00b 15 років тому

    Dr. Wu to me is not really sad - to me it's a picture of two worlds - reality and a heroin fueled utopia - and the border line in between the two. Sometimes in the chorus here, I am pulled into the opium den...that's good writing.
