It's always 'go back in time to kill Hitler', never 'prevent the assistant from losing "The Second Arrangement"'.
Luv it! 😂
A mixed blessing. Losing it only made it more of a fan favorite. gAlthough we’ll never know how it was meant to sound in 1980, Donald sang it in live concerts in the early 2000s. I wish Fagen and Becker had revived it on their Live in America album.
Fun fact: going back in time to save that Steely Dan recording was actually the first successful use of a time machine. But then someone when back in time and changed that mission to "have the Astros win the World Series".
No matter how many likes this comment gets, it will never be enough.
Lol
Anyone listening in 2024? Friggin marvelous!!!
As an musician I can tell; THIS IS PARADISE. Steely Dan Forever.
Perfection! Don't erase it!!
Hahaha. It’s on the cloud now bro.
😂
@@TNKeysstuck in a cloud! Its raining Dan...i love it! ❤
Best reply ever.
Wonderful tribute to Steely Dan, my favourite group.
Petition to make Scott an honorary member of Steely Dan
Between this masterpiece, his version of Maxine and the live concert of The Nightfly. Scott seems like the right guy to keep Steely Dan music alive when Donald retires.
My signature!
This is what the internet was made for - outstanding.
Michael Omartian, Bill Schnee etc.. all pro players. How can you lose? Sounds wonderful.
I feel like I'm hearing a new SD song for the first time in over 40 years. Awesome!
You bet!
The most beautiful and sad/terrible thing, at the same time, is as if they had actually put it on the album directly: not only does this version sound very good, as if we lived in an alternative universe where this WAS NEVER DELETED BY ACCIDENT, but The lyrics haven't aged a bit and in fact hit the nail on the head with the SAME problem as always. We easily forget that the music sounds great but the lyrics to it are depressing as hell. It aged well because it never aged: couple relationships, be they dating, married or even parents, in which their love life falls apart or falls apart or they even get divorced, and many ask to start from scratch as the music says. It is timeless music, as if it were thrown at you yesterday and it hits like a truck because it is an almost cyclical reality of humanity.
This is so awesome good love it, beautiful voice , thank you , love SD ❤🍀🥰
Mr. Omartian's piano just screams Steely Dan. Put it on vinyl, and just TAKE. MY. MONEY.👏🏾
Haha. If only Donald would give us a first use license…
You guys hit a grand slam! I think Donald and Walter would be proud.
Best Steely Dan cover of all time
Wow!!!
Mr Schnalien himself in the control room!
Divine groove! The drummer has that great Jeff Porcaro (RIP) thing going.
Great work all of you guys!
Hope Mr. Fagen doesn't take it off youtube (please Mr. Fagen, don't).
Those horns are just DIVINE!!!
ABSOLUTELY LUSCIOUS!!!!!
Michael Omartian is my hero.
Mr Omartian is brilliant talking to Rick
Rolls Royce music and performance, we want more ....please give us "The Third Arrangement" 🙂
The Graydon-ish coda was a nice surprise. Also, it never occurred to me how much horns were missed on the original version. Great job to everyone involved.
Those horns are sexy af and fit in exquisitely with the song. Bravo lads, this is a brilliant session and you knocked it out of the park.
This is out of this world! A truly great song brought back by an incredible group of musicians and organizers! Thanks a million for this!
As sad as it is to have lost the original mix, the online effort and collaboration that has happened in its absence is seriously inspiring and beautiful. That's what music is all about, amazing work guys. Hope Fagen sees these renditions someday.
Not sure he’s seen it, but he’s definitely heard it.
I'm not sure if words can describe how awesome this is. I can easily hear this at the end of Gaucho.
Really, REALLY nice. The horn arrangement is very tasty and in line with how I imagine Don & Walt would would chart it. And of course the great Michael Omartian, who put his indelible stamp on Katy Lied and Pretzel Logic.
Oh my god. This is so great, made me cry. GOOD LORD!!
So, I am not the only one.
Absolutely brilliant. You’ve all brought the lost track to life. Amazing job. Thank you for making the effort 👍
Thanks for making a pro version in hq of a lost fuzzy tape capturing steely Dan in their prime.
Ole should definitely become an honorary life Dan member. He is extraordinary, SO underrated! Bravo everyone!
The Norwegian Ole has strong yet crisp high voice. In harmony the three vocalists sounded so rich.
Simply superb and what a pleasure it was to see Michael Omartian play on piano who was a significant arranger and played on SD and Donald’s Albums.
I keep playing this all over again. Super musicians and great arrangements and production. Love this rendition.😀
the horns section is out of this world
I'm in awe gentleman, this is by far the best SD cover I've ever heard. To execute it at this level requires the degree of intense fanaticism and respect for the genius all of you obviously possess. Just brilliant, you put a smile on my face today. Total pros, one and all. Thank you for this gift.
Wonderful, you guys absolutely nailed the Steely Dan sound. Wish I could add this to my Steely Dan Gaucho album. Well done, guys.
Love it! Anytime Ole Borud is involved, I'm all in!
Pretty amazing fellas.
This sounds so great! The band here is fantastic - NAILED the classic SD sound. Amazing. I particularly loved the voice of the vocalist on the first verse. He captured the Fagenisms so well! Love it. Great job, guys!
THAT is some serious playing. The mix is so so so good. Great job!
Fantastic! Think I have watched this 20 times already!
Me too ❤
It was refreshing to hear and watch another arrangement of The Second Arrangement.
Great job getting the chords and harmonies correct, from a less than clear source. Really well done!
The horns arrangement and mixing sounds fantastic!
Fantastic! This sounds every bit as good as I imagined the studio version could have sounded! Great job guys!
Very nice job! Definitely has the unique Steely Dan sound dialed in. Josh Turner Guitar (& friends) also released a version of this one a day or two ago. It's definitely worth checking out.
Josh Turner & Friends version is good, but this one by the International Dan Collective has the edge in my book. Just a tad slower, a better fit to "the swing" in the piece. Vocals and horns also superior.
Yeah, but then you consider what JTG & friends were working with, vs. this group, and it's very impressive. Very.
Thx for the heads-up. Turner's version is outstanding.
@@bayouflier6641 Sure thing. Josh & his collaborators never disappoint, and never fail to impress (me, anyway).
Compared to the international Dan Collective Josh Turner and friends look like amateur newbies. I don’t know why they rate a mention here.
The guitar tone is just spectacularly good on this. Lifts the whole thing.
Fabulous song...excellent Musicians...great arrangement...what a combination. It really lifted me. Thank you guys...one and all.
Thank you so bloody much !!!!!! I want to cry . I’m so happy 😀 !
I think I'm officially obsessed. Great job, everyone.
0h YeeeeeYah!!:)* Great Post 📫, Scott Sheriff!! 😀~*
3:30 "Old Fri-ends" love it!!!!
Absokutely the best rendition! So far
What a wonderful tune
That segment from 3:03 to 3:32 is bliss
Superb!
Oh my god you brought this to life. The boys would be so proud of you. Thank you!
Incredible! Can't imagine it being done better. Please do The Bear and sell us recordings!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant, absolutely Brilliant!
Just like listening to Steely Dan on the radio in high school. Thanks for adding to their world, and mine.
This is incredible! Brilliant!
Lost for words really, different class comes to mind. Thanks
Excellent! And mixed by Bill Schnee to boot! (Just read his excellent book, you should too.) I hope you can find a way to make the full lossless file available for purchase.
Brilliant! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!
Magic indeed.
Wow! After listening to second generation cassette copies and the DAT backup disc. It is such a pleasure to hear the song played with brilliant musicians. The vocals are stellar as well. A fantastic performance. Maybe donald could fly it again in forthcoming concerts. His band are even more capable. Cheers
Just perfect!
The musicianship on display is phenomenal!!❤❤
Outstanding. Just...wow...well done!
Hopefully there would more content from the International Dan Collective. Love it a lot
Fabulous, absolutely perfect.
Absolutely fantastic! I am so happy multiple covers of this song came out to give us a fresh version of what would've been a killer track had it ever been finished - and this version currently sits at the top of my list!
This is absolute perfection!!
Hey, I used to see some of those guys doing Dan covers around Nashville, especially at 3rd and Lindsley. They did Chicago tunes perfect as well.
Superb performance, well done 😊😊😊😊😊
the chords, the phrasing, the vocal harmonies. It's that good old 'Dan Magic'.
There's a new sheriff in town on lost Dan classics!
Now I see how great this track could have been. Much respect. 👍
WOW !! a superb performance of a great Dan track - Well done boys
Damn…this is freaking Great!!!!
when bill rolled it ... i felt that 😎👍
Wow, SO good. Everyone nailed this. What a treat!
Wow. This is so much better than I expected. Love it!
You guys nailed it. Fagen and Becker would approve.
I love Steely Dan and I LOVE what you all just did. Thank you for being!
Wow! This is SPECIAL!!
thank you so so much for this! I played your version of this song on my wedding :>
That's beautiful and so Steely Dan! Very nice.
Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for this !!!
WOW! That is just brilliant - thanks for bringing The Second Arrangement to life again
Fantastic all around. Mix sounds clean and bright. Well done!
What a cast of characters! Great job guys. Nice to see Jerry on the band. I've been following him for years with the FCH. Excellent performance by all!
Absolutely *first class!* Brilliant production all round! 😎👌
good to see that Josh Weissman has branched out from recipe videos to providing backing vocals
Lost a bunch of his hair too.
Fantastic. Just love it.
I love how I heard this for 1:28 then realized there was an upbeat guitar playing all the time :D
That's just 100% real Steely Dan feeling.
Great job gents!
Amazing
Wow, just wow. So freaking good! Great arrangement of the Second Arrangement
Those horns are ON POINT
WONDERFUL GENTLEMEN!!... Is it not "WHO steps out with no regrets..."?
Not sure.
ruclips.net/video/weQsCjsDyxQ/видео.htmlsi=Gyg2OChXcZc51Ye5 is the one time Steely Dan played it live. If you look at Donald’s lips, I’m pretty sure he says “the rules.” Even on the old cassette you can hear the word “the”. “Rules” seems like the only logical word to come next, since he’s talking about breaking the rules and having an affair.
Almost outrageously great - everyone concerned - in every department. More please!
Sounds great!
This is absolutely outstanding.
Superb arrangement
This track is liking meeting a very old friend that you never met before...❤
Just Amazing! and so loved! Thank ALL of You!
This is 🔥
Excellent 🎶🎶🎶🎶 Thanks so much for this great musical experience.
