My very favorite Steely Dan song. This is the best cover by any group for any song. Just astounding. The talk box is what makes this jam one of the greatest jams ever.
@@mrp4u Of course not but for goodness sake man, this isn't the real Steely Dan so lighten up and give these guys some praise. A truly fantastic cover indeed.
I said to myself after hearing the first 30 seconds 'the good thing about steely dan is that they always sound as good live as on the albums.' Then I realised it was just an amazing covers band. Great job
I heard that when Steely Dan won a Grammy a few years ago they flew Hank and some of the other members of the the Damned to New York to play their Grammy party. Which, if true, seems insanely cool to me.
This clip was 2 track off the board. I've got the whole night on DVD but most of the guitar is not loud enough because of my stage volume. The other clips were from 2 mic's in the house. Glad you like them. Thanks, Hank
Guys I have to say,I'm a MASSIVE Dan fan & that was THE BEST I've come across on RUclips of ANY band covering a DAN song. That was just FANTASTIC.....Well done;-)
It takes about 12 people to cover Steeley Dan amazing🤣🤣Always used to put this on the Pub juke box in the Bulls Head Hayfield Derbyshire in the 70s.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Don't bother covering this song without the TalkBox. It's THE signature of the song. This cat NAILED IT. And... am I the only one who's hearing some "Do you feel like I do" in there? If so, it's goddamn brilliant. I've listened to that solo at the end about 20 times. Damn!!
Just when you think that it could make you weep, knowing that you will never find a video clip of Larry Carlton playing that solo with the talkbox... then what better to find this. This is superb. It baffles me how Don and Walter haven't drafted Hank Easton in. Love the bit in the closing solo where he gives the band a shout with the "Do you like The Damned?" Tremendous. Thank you Hank.
Hank, YES! I like the Damned! OMFG! I have just three words for you: A - MA - ZING! Ya killed it. Hitting all the accents, but also making it your own. Nice work.
every night before I go to bed I listen to two or three Steely Dan songs at least in honor of my little brother who now has gone on to heaven. my heart is so broken but when I listen to the Dan it's as if he can hear it and he's sitting right there with me. have peace now brother see you soon.
Fantastic cover of one of the best guitar solos of all time. I may have been at this show. I used to see The Steely Damned pretty much whenever they played at the Catamaran during this era. Best SD tribute I've ever seen.
One of the greatest live performances I've ever had the privilege to listen to. I've always loved this song. Been a Steely Dan fan since the 70's but never had a chance to see them. thanx for the post.
This is impressive to say the least. This is a very difficult song to perform live. One of the best SD covers I have listened to. I am pretty sure Mr. Fagen and Mr. Becker approves this interpretation.
Thanks for uploading. Saw you many times around SD and at the Catamaran as well. Probably there that night. You guys really nailed everything you played. Great memories.
I am learning to play bass and the bass line is killer. Hank Easton the guitar player in the video just blows me away totally with his incredible riffs and voice box work. As a student of music I can really begin to appreciate the incredible hard work and talent it takes to do it. This is one of my favorite videos. It lifts me off the ground!
Fantastic - what a fabulous band and cover. The guitarist is amazing. Wonderful control and superb playing and voice box technique. Just wish I had half that talent. Congratulations to the whole band on a magical performance. Thank you for the video.
Just stumbled on this. The performance was outstanding! Used to be a lead guitar player in the late sixties and early seventies, Zep, Chicago, Cream, CSN&Y, Allman Bros etc. cover bar band. Too early to cover S.D. though. Quit playing out when the drama became ridiculous and heads swelled to enormous proportions. -dave
Wow what a great cover! This isn't my fave Dan song by a long shot, but this breathed new life into it. Great recording quality and guitar work. The synth is setting the mood, and the singer is very good. Has his own unique voice without trying to sound like Don, but still got attitude behind it. Only complaint is I can't hear any backup singing.
“5:00, “Do you like The Damned.” Hank so killing it. Was at this show and many others at the Catarman and many other spots in SD at the time. Thank you Hank and that whole crew. Very good times!
This song was Musical Orgasm Material to me when it was released and I couldn't get enough of it but this cover is PURE AWESOMENESS !! Especially Love the Voice box wah wah and would LOVE to hear you cover Peter Frampton Do You Feel Like I Do !! Way to Go Hank, Faved and Subbed with Gratitude !! Steph
I just listened to this for the first time, and if you listen closely, I believe he's mouthing (in tribute) "do you feel like I/we do. I can't stop listening to this video. from 4:17 till the end is pure musical magic. Holy shit!
Steely Damned = Professional musicianship at its best, especially Hank Easton. You really should be front and center. The guitar is the soul of this piece.

My very favorite Steely Dan song. This is the best cover by any group for any song. Just astounding. The talk box is what makes this jam one of the greatest jams ever.
I would never of believed that somebody could cover that song so well. Almost no difference to the original. Well done!!! . . .
100% true!
almost, BUT no one sang this like "THE REAL Donald F." cant compare always
@@mrp4u
Of course not but for goodness sake man, this isn't the real Steely Dan so lighten up and give these guys some praise. A truly fantastic cover indeed.
@@Stringbean421 So true. Excellent comment.
An awesome version of "Haitian Divorce". Hank Easton on the Talk Box rocks! He makes it sound like the studio original.
This is not a cover or a version ... it is an amazingly perfect recital. Mozart will be proud.
The best cover of the original by far
Don't understand. Isn't this the original?
It is not. This is the Steely damned, the original was by Steely Dan. Excellent cover though, certainly the best I have heard so far.
I said to myself after hearing the first 30 seconds 'the good thing about steely dan is that they always sound as good live as on the albums.' Then I realised it was just an amazing covers band. Great job

Hello Hank, this is Nick and Steve from the Blue Danube. We never get tired of listening ,even after all these years.
It make it look so easy.
Hank, you are brilliant mate. Brilliant.
All hail the Steely Damned!
You had that song on lock-down! Fantastic!
Ever come to the UK 🙏
Nice Guitar work by Hank Easton with his Talkbox. Great Cover of an epic Steely Dan hit.
Guys I have to say,I'm a MASSIVE Dan fan & that was THE BEST I've come across on RUclips of ANY band covering a DAN song. That was just FANTASTIC.....Well done;-)
This is an incredible rendition of this solo. Frigging nailed it!
This is just great. Thats all. Just friggin great. Like the bandit said: "Who ARE those guys?"
Outstanding cover. Hank nailed the piece. Tight band, I wish they would come to the UK.
What a singer brilliant

Spot on, love y'all !!!!!!!
the singer and the guitarist are simply awesome
Hank Easton slayed with that talk box. Hats off to you my man. awesome cover!!

Hank is talking "Do you like The Damned" I believe. And, yes, he's brilliant.
this is a GREAT version of a beautiful song.
The best SD cover band ever, hands down. Bob Tedde, Hank Easton, Ruby, fuck they absolutely killed it. Killed it.
That was a Great version of the song. This was really tremendous.
Just when you think that it could make you weep, knowing that you will never find a video clip of Larry Carlton playing that solo with the talkbox... then what better to find this. This is superb.

OMFG! I have just three words for you:
A - MA - ZING!
Ya killed it. Hitting all the accents, but also making it your own. Nice work.
The best cover of any song I've viewed on RUclips. Without doubt.
This is the best version for me
Fantastic vocals....great cover.
Absolutely amazing - truely amazing !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting
Bloody superb! Well done people!

The guitar work here is fantastic. Wow.
An excellent cover - they captured the essence of this classic.
Hank as a guitar player I am very inspired by your talent. LOVE playing and watching others play guitar. Thanks. God bless you, Tony cash.
Fantastic cover of my favourite Dan song. Great job!
Nailed it. I remember these guys from when I used to live in SD.
Been attending the "Damned" shows for near 30 years now. They are the BEST.
Brilliant cover version of one of my fave songs
Monster guitar man. Spot on. Great band, very nice work. My fave from The Royal Scam. Bravo!
This is still the best thing I've ever seen. Jesus, these guys just absolutely crushed it! HANK EASTON can do NO WRONG!
You know who my new favorite guitar player is? Hank Easton. If a cover performance can be better than the original, Hank just proved it.
That's fantastic! It is a superb jam, with Hank Easton performing with a creative guitar/talk box solos! Loved!
Fantástico....Muito detalhista, esse guitarrista é dos bons...dos bons..!!!😂 Abraços do brasil.
Fantastic cover of one of the best guitar solos of all time. I may have been at this show. I used to see The Steely Damned pretty much whenever they played at the Catamaran during this era. Best SD tribute I've ever seen.
Amazing vocals and voice box guitar. Beautiful cover

Great cover
Best live vocals of this song i've found by a long way
Best over of this song I've heard!

All just awesome, Bob Tedde smashed the vocals out of the park, and as for Hank.. well.. incredible!
Absolutely brilliant cover. The guitarist is awesome. I couldn't stop playing this over and over,well done guys and girls

Hank you are awesome man!
Are you kidding me? This band rules!! and Hank rips! Best Talk Box Solo Ever!!
Holy fucking SHIT! This is MIND-BLOWINGLY good, guys! And the "wah-wah" skatting that the guitarist is doing is beyond belief. 11 out of 10! 💖
That is some of my favorite guitar work ever, and Hank nailed it. I think Donald will be calling you if Jon Herington can't make the next tour!
Hank Easton, not the friendliest guy I met, but one hell of a guitarist.
You must have caught Hank at a busy time, there is not a nicer, more mellow, laid back great guitarist on earth.
Damn what an amazing cover...I wish I was in this band
Que solo maravilhoso!!!
What a wonderful solo!!!
