    I've heard this song hundreds of times. One day I may get tired of it, but it hasn't happened yet. The solo was by Larry Carleton, who also played on Kid Charlemagne - both arguably among the greatest Steely Dan solos. Love that you're going through the whole catalog - Enjoy!

    Another honest heartfelt reaction. This song is likely grow on you. The Royal Scam might be my desert island album, for real. I don't want to be without it. Of course, I've been tasting it since high school. It's a masterpiece. Keep on keeping on, Man. I value you exposing your exploration.

    Appreciate anyone who is open to any genre of music. Not every song or performance is good enough to keep in a rotation or even to listen to a second time, but without an open mind and ears you may miss out on a number of gems. Well done, sir.

    Right on with the guitar being the main carriage of content, almost being the "voice" of the lyrical intent of the track... whereas the vocals were almost part of the rhythm section... manning the bridges to how the guitar seethed with its story. Good channel, gratitude. 🤟

  • @danielthompson6880
    @danielthompson6880 3 роки тому +1

    This song is about the bombing of Sterling Hall at the University of Wisconsin in 1970. There were 4 guys who planted the bomb. One professor was killed as a result of the bombing. The lyrics pertain to catching the last fugitive of the bombing. He was apprehended in California but there was no standoff. He surrendered peacefully when the police found him in his apartment. His father was a bookkeeper from Portland, Oregon. Steely Dan took some artistic license with the story. Great song and love Larry Carleton's opening solo.

    Yes of course outstanding guitar work by Larry Carlton, but for me this song hasn’t aged as well as a lot of their other tracks, and sounds very “70’s”.
    Not that that’s a bad thing lol!
    If you take the main riff from “Witchy Woman” by the Eagles, and mix it with “Magic Man” by Heart, you basically get this song. Not in subject matter of course, but in the vibe and feel.

    Kind of reminds me of the first song you ever did by SD, Reelin’ in the Years. Both songs have that killer opening guitar solo. As you see by the other comments, the one and only Larry Carlton on lead on this one. Killer keyboard work on the next track. Inching ever closer to Aja my man!

    Hello my friend. I sang this song in a cover band and believe me it was not so easy. Great song, and as you said, the guitar parts are certainly the main focus of the song. If you would like to hear some of my latest music it is available on UA-cam. Check out Need To feel John Stephen Frank and Vic-Here We are. Keep doing what you're doing and continue to enjoy all this great music. Peace. John.

    My eyes popped wide open after clearly and unmistakably hearing--thanks mostly to having bought top-of-the-line headphones and native keen hearing, besides--one particular word mistakenly written/assumed by SD fanatics (and lesser aficionados) ever since the LP was distributed. I succinctly heard, "...well I crossed my OWN man back in Oregon..." Exsqueeze me, but HUH? Holy kwap, that actually adds some sense to those storytelling lyrics. Kudos to Beyerdynamic audio for great headphones!
