Steely Dan is the name of the group, mainly Donald Fagan (lead vocals, keyboards) and Walter Becker (guitar) with many session players who have come in and out through the years, notably Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and Michael McDonald from the Doobie Brothers and guitarist Larry Carlton. If you haven't heard Don't Take Me Alive, there is some great guitar with from Larry Carlton in that one.
Dont Take Me Alive one of the best intros ever
"Got a case of dynamite.."
The entire Royal Scam album is just waves and waves of tasty.
Did you catch all the slick ghost notes the drummer Jeff Pocarro was playing. Gives me goosebumps.
What a track by Jeff Porcaro
Its a blend of Porcaro's drum tracks over 46 takes, and they bent the timing of the drums to their idea of precision. Basically the first live sounding drum machine.
You learn something new every day. I was not aware Porcaro plays this track. I had assumed it was Bernard Purdie, from whom Porcaro copied to create the Rosanna shuffle beat and who plays on "Babylon Sisters."
@@jtaycock Not exactly true. This wasn't a wendel-track, and they didn't bend the timing of anything for this track. This was just a normal comped drum track from many takes. Each take was absolutely perfect off course and could have been used for the final track without us being able to hear much difference, but each take had a certain energy or charm that was important to Donald, and luckily Gary knew his tastes enough that they managed to comp together pieces from many takes to suit Donald's idea of what he wanted from the song. So this was all live, and comped just like we do today (only way more tedius than how we do it now with playlists etc). The only programmed drums where they did adjust timing for this album was Hey Nineteen, My Rival and Glamour Profession, the rest are live drums, with timing untouched :)
Steely Dan always wanted a good drum track. This one took them into the wee hours. RIP Jeff porcaro
From Steely Dan, Kid Charlemagne or Babylon Sisters next, please.
Love your reactions. The Beatles and Steely Dan are my favorite bands. Steely Dan is a band for their first three albums. After touring for the 3rd album Pretzel Logic neither Walter nor Donald was satisfied with the sound produced on stage. The rest of their albums are Walter Becker (RIP) and Donald Fagen with the best studio musicians they could find. Gaucho is a sad song written by Donald Fagen to Walter Becker during the height of Walter's heroin addiction. The Gaucho is Walter's drug dealer who was always hanging around. Donald hated the guy. "Why is he standing there in your poncho and your shoes?" "No, he can't stay here" Doesn't he have a home?" "you're too messed up today we'll try again tomorrow". "I know you're a special friend, (Walter) but you don't seem to understand."
Chod, It'd be interesting to hear your Dad's perspective on music / his influence on your preferences. You should have him on your channel
Would love to see them both react. I'm sure it would be insightful.
Lots of great songs...chain lightening, time out of mind, pretzel logic, don't take me alive, etc., etc. 👍
Steely Dan built the entire song around Jeff Porcaro's drum track!
Becker laid it down on this too, very tastefully done by both of them.
Maybe you actually know, but simply misspoke.... Steely Dan is the band name. Not the name of a dude. Steely Dan is a actually a reference from the book Naked Lunch from William S. Burroughs. Steely Dan III from Yokohama. I'll let you check out what that actually is. Donald Fagan and Walter Becker are Steely Dan, basically. They used a number of hired guns when recording and touring.
Gaucho is a killer track.
Another great one that grows on me every time I listen to it!👍🏻❤️☮️🎹🎼🎤
If you haven't listed to Deacon Blues from Steely Dan, that is a must hear
And the title track (Aja)
Oh heck, just react to the entire album! 😃
This is one of the old drum covers still on my channel. I love playing this song.
First I wanted to say...... I am by no means a musician. I simply love music. You mentioned an "irregular beat" on this song. For my tastes that's one of the many attributes to a Steely Dan song. The irregular beat and what I call "change ups" where they suddenly go off into a totally different direction are two of the Steely Dan trademarks. Fagan and Becker had the ability to meld rock, jazz, R&B and fusion into a single song. Their songs sounds as good, if not better, today as the day they were released decades ago.
“Glamour Profession” next!
Babylon Sisters next brother man!
My kids use to call this, Sunday morning music when they were little, they're in their thirties now
The extraordinary gentlemen of the endlessly perfect grooves. They just don't miss. Smoooooooooth ...
The keyboard riffs played by Donald Fagen are based upon a song by Keith Garrett, the famous jazz pianist. Kid Charlemagne, Green Earrings next!
Please, please do "Any Major Dude Will Tell You"!
Gotta do “Green Earrings!” And for incredible drumming, the title track of “Aja.” I promise you will not be disappointed. Rick Beato did a whole episode on the drums in “Aja.”
This is just another example of why you are my favorite reactor!
All of those studio musicians read music. Difficult counts are on the sheets. That's one of the differences between jazz musicians and rock/pop musicians, virtually all jazz musicians read music and know music theory (Bix Biderbecke (1903-1931--an early member of the "27 Club"--was one notable exception).
Steely Dan, after they're second album became Donald Fagan, Walter Becker, and any number of studio musicians. During the recording of the Aja album, on each song they routinely went through several groups of musicians to find the sound they wanted.
How do commenters miss pointing out Chuck Rainey? He is CORE Steely Dan! He and Larry Carlton are permanent players....during some of the most creative iterations of the band
Steely Dan, my favorite....
More great tunes from the duo known as Steely Dan,Walter Becker and Donald Fagen : Deacon Blues, Hey Nineteen, Bad Sneakers , Josie, Aja, Babylon Sisters ,Bodhisattva.
You have to check out Kid Charlemagne, Caves of Altamira or Aja those are amazing
"Gaucho" and "AJA" records............ PURE GOLD!
An interesting article on this song and album:
Gaucho session drummer Jeff Porcaro (who would go on to find fame and success with his band Toto) once told Modern Drummer magazine a bit about the difficult recording process:
"From noon till six we’d play the tune over and over and over again, nailing each part. We’d go to dinner and come back and start recording. They made everybody play like their life depended on it. But they weren’t gonna keep anything anyone else played that night, no matter how tight it was. All they were going for was the drum track."
liveforlivemusic.com/news/steely-dan-gaucho-40-years-later/
No "dude," more like a band turned into a duo (Donald Fagen and the late, great Walter Becker)
Masters of their art!!!!!!!!😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Its so funny you talked about the rhythmic feel because they had a really hard time trying to get the drummers to get the right feel on this one and spent weeks on it. Walter Becker (one half of SD) said the change in feel during the chorus was especially tricky to nail. They are notorious for being perfectionists in the studio, to the point of madness haha
'Home at Last' is my favorite, that & 'The Royal Scam'.
"Dr. Wu" is my favorite Steely Dave recording ever. By the way, Steely Dan is a group, not an individual.
Donald is a one in a million voice. Deacon Blues for the win. Check it!
Steely Dan is the name of the group. There are no members named Steely Dan. Look up where they got their name.
The smooth singer is Donald Fagen, guitar Walter Becker.
Steely Dan is in a class by themselves. I’ll just keep suggesting: Reeling in the Years, Bodhisattva, and My Old School.
Isn't outside Led Zeppelin and Yes, Steely Dan your favorite band????? Steely Dan is an American rock band founded in 1971 by core members Walter Becker (guitars, bass, backing vocals) and Donald Fagen (keyboards, lead vocals).
!!!!! My Favorite Band ....My favorite song from this Album...Great choice....Steve Kahn on Guitar...nice Chod!!! New step up is Blasting in my Room...Ray
All I have to say is....Babylon Sisters - Shake it!
Great comments, you truly do understand music and the technical aspects of what goes in to songs, that most take for granted or done recognize and dare I say, even appreciate the artistry 😎
I'm going to guess the Steely Dan track your dad had on his play list was Aja or Sign In Stranger. The keys shine through on those two.
Maybe Fire In The Hole too for nice keys.
@@mikewritz Another great possibility!
Check out King of the World - nice groove that hooks you right away
Post apocalyptic life in the American Southwest - have the lyrics handy too
Good Music! Thanks. I dont think anyone has reacted to Aja off the Aja album.
Still waiting for "Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan to be reacted to. :-)
Isn't the breaking off great? it's nice to hear your comments on varying time signatures because most just pick up the general vibe and don't have your technical knowledge or experience from actually playing. You can drop the needle on any song on Aja, Gaucho, or Donald Fagen's solo album, The Nightfly, and the music is engrossing.
Regarding time signatures, for a future reaction (or a private listening), one of the most epic and beautifully structured pieces is a song by Kansas that no one seems to want to react to. "Carry On Wayward Sun" iand "Dust in the Wind" have been reacted to out the wazoo, but no one seems to want to touch "Song for America." A few have, but just a few. I played it for a friend who listens only to classical music and he loved it. Written by classically trained Kerry Livgren, the piece has so many sections, of course all exposed then recapitulated throughout. But I bring it up because you would find the time signature changes very interesting. Note the piano solo in the middle is in 9/8 meter. If you ever have ten minutes, I'm almost positive you'd like it, and it won't feel like ten minutes. Cheers! If you do it, I'd recommend the studio version so you can hear everything the way Livgren intended.
Great suggestion, Song for America was always one of my favorites of theirs. Incredibly interesting from the perspective of a musician (and an US citizen besides), fantastic song.
@@missbelled6700 I just think Chod would enjoy it, he being a drummer and all. I also think many radio-only listeners would like it. Everyone requests "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind." Over and over. And these were prevalent on the radio. "Song for America" may have been heard on progressive-rock stations, but my feeling is most people never heard it, save Kansas aficionados who actually bought the albums. So, hopefully, Chod will get curious. Well, what do you do? Did you study or are you in a band? What do you play?
I suggest "Aja" for your next Steely Dan song, with "Deacon Blues" as a close second. Or you could play them back-to-back, because "Deacon Blues" follows "Aja" on the Aja album.
I have requested this one several times but didn't seem to generate much interest. I'm so glad you reached out. great reaction! re-request: Loggins and Messina: "Danny's song" First take: studio version. put this on your 'family' playlist; your wife and kids will love this (then, "House at pooh Corner" live at Grand Canyon)
Bruford - Five G
Original studio version please (not the 2017 remix).
Another vote for Deacon Blues. Also a Vote for Foghat , live 1974 I just want to make to you. I know it is out of your norm for first reactions. But trust me.
That's it my Boi you can't go wrong with the Dan
You're the first to do this one great track
Steely Dan is the name of the group.
Saw them 3 x's through the last 20 years , always great
Walter on bass AND lead guitar....
You are almost at 20,000K !
GAUCHO
THANK YOU I DONT KNOW HOW THAT N GOT IN THERE LOL
@@WILBURNREACTIONS you’re welcome loved your Jeff Beck reaction. Been a fan since 1966.
Thank you! I am becoming a big fan myself. Love his style
@@WILBURNREACTIONS He’s the one who started it all as far as doing something different with a guitar. I have seen him 5 times since 1980. He is famous since 1989 for playing melodies using just the whammy bar alone bending notes from low to high after a harmonic on an open string. It’s impossible for most because it’s very difficult to find the correct pitch doing that. Most of the greats can’t do it. The song is Where Were You from Guitar Shop.
ruclips.net/video/howz7gVecjE/видео.html
Cigar-whisky vibe: enjoying a $16 Padron as I watch.
All this time and Wilburn still hasn’t figured out “Steely Dan” is two guys?
Listen to anything and everything from Donald Fagen's Morph the Cat album, and Sunken Condos and Kamakiriad. All good. Not a bad song there.
Ok so try Security Joan, The H Gang, On The Dunes, Brite Nightgown, Snowbound, The New Breed, Miss Marlene, Slinky Thing.
Try Showbiz Kids on Can't Buy A thrill.
CHOD LUV LISTENNING WITH YOU TRY THIRD WORLD MAN ON GAUHO
Chod - I love the range and diversity of music that you play on your channel. I especially enjoy how you always give love to the great members of the bands playing their hearts out (drums, keyboards, bass). Your father raised you well. Try giving Donald Fagen's (singer/songwriter from Steely Dan) solo tunes a try. He has help from people like Abe Laboriel on bass, Ed Greene on drums, and Larry Carlton on lead guitar, and more. The 'Night Fly' album is unique and right down your alley. 'IGY' ruclips.net/video/ijLtyR16sdM/видео.html ''New Frontier' ruclips.net/video/uNNeRTfeX1o/видео.html - I've been praying someone would play some Fagan solo tunes. He does a tribute song to Ray Charles (a big hero) called 'WHAT I DO'' from the album Morph The Cat - ruclips.net/video/Kl4LhVu8gjY/видео.html - You gotta play that tune Big Soul Jamel, you gotta! Keep great music and the memory of Ray alive. It may be the first time you stop a video in the middle and call your Dad (laugh). Thanks for keeping the magic alive for us old guys in or 70's.
I think you'd like "Only A Fool Would Say That" from their Can't Buy A Thrill album.
your Dad has to know John McGlaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra , for early 70's this was underground never heard on FM
Gaucho, pronounced "gow-cho" with the accent on the first syllable.
May i suggest The mahavishnu Orchestra > Lila's dance > awesome prog jazz
I'm more looking forward to your reaction when you learn what Steel Dan really is!
Somehow the lyrics get lost behind the songs magnifence. You need to check them out...
One word. Aja. Do it.
No need to make suggestions for Steely Dan, just play anything you have not heard yet, it will be amazing so I really don’t care.
Please react to Dirty Work by Steely Dan!!
or Midnight Cruiser. That whole album was great, had kind of its own sound, a little bit mellower Steely Dan.
@@markhavens1153 Still think that is their best album !!
Are you going to be there?
www.steelydan.com/#!/events?page=1
One will want to see the lyrics.
Steely Dan is just the name of the band. There is not a guy named Steely Dan.
Time Out of Mind by Steely Dan is on this album as well and it is better than this in my opinion.
Love your perspective, but you do know that Steely Dan is not a person, yes?
One of the worst Steely Dan songs ever. Why was this on the list to react to?
Well you’re entitled to your own opinion but this is not your show.
@@kualua6612 of all their songs, this is a bad one. Go bother someone else with your awful taste.
And to top it off, they ripped this one off from Keith Jarrett, and got sued.
There is not a thing wrong with this song. Excellent musicianship all around as you would expect from this band. Steely Dan has no bad songs. None.
@@MichaelTrogdon1990 This is a weak tune lyrically, it’s underwhelming musically as well. All this sensitivity to criticism is silly. It’s an average song and they have easily 50 songs that would be better reactions. Obviously.
