Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin has said that the guitar solo in this song is his all-time favorite solo!
Cool!
I think he was more specific. I believe he said it was his favorite guitar intro. I could be wrong.
I read the interview in the late 70's so I could be delusional.
Wow, that is saying a boat load coming from JP!!
I thought the AQUALUNG solo was Jimmy Pages' fave?
No one is unmoved by the song. The music, the wit and sarcasm of the lyrics, unparalleled in the history of rock. Just amazing
Also, I suggest reacting to Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen!
If you like bass you have to listen to their song "Josie" - so funky and deliciously smooth.
Such a staple of 70’s rock!
Every album they ever released was an utter gem.
Saw them open for Elton John in the early 70's for 5.75 and they jammed this!
Anything off of "Aja." It's gold, Jay Rah, gold!
I'm glad you guys listen to these classic rock songs with great audio headsets. The only way to appreciate great rock is by cranking it up!!
That clean and dirty and unforgettable guitar work is by Elliott Randall.
Jazz/Rock/Fusion!! Love It!
The guy who plays guitar is named Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, he played guitar from the debut album to Katy Lied. However they got session musician Elliott Randall to play lead on the song and performed the solo. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin has stated that the solo is his all time favorite solo.
Skunk had a second life as a defense consultant for the Pentagon.
@@JeffreyTheTaylor Yeah I found that really interesting as well, before that he also played for the Doobie Brothers.
Skunk was probably nearby but Elliot Randall was lead guitar on this tune.
@@lancealrick6898 Yeah I made a mistake, sorry about that I went to double check it after the fact whoops
@@jostincolon-velez551 I've done the same with the Dan, they use so many musicians!
Always a nice surprise when I'm ridin' in my car & this comes on the radio.
Just binge watched all your Steely Dan reactions. Dude, there is so much more great shit by Steely Dan. You've only scratched the surface. Keep going! great reactions..btw.
I've heard this song too many times to count. Watching your reaction made me really listen to this song for the first time in many years. I had forgotten how truly awesome this song is! Thanks for sharing your discovery of great music and breathing new life into my appreciation of music that I grew up with. ☮❤🙏🏻
One of my favourite songs from them
Sooo many great guitarists & others worked in Steely Dan's music...a collaboration of awesome talent! :D
Guitar solos were done by Denny Diaz and. Jeff the skunk Baxter who was also in the Doobie Brothers
Steely Dan made me do it.
Wait til you hear the horns, guitar, and usual phenomenal overall mix and sound production of "My Old School". Try the radio staple "Deacon Blues", too. VERY tasty to the ears, JR.
My two favorite Steely Dan songs
Two great tracks. Don't sleep on Kid Charlemagne!!
Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne. You'll LOVE IT!!!+
My all-time favorite! Nice job!
New subscriber.....love that you are into the music like many of us are......
Yay! The Dan are the most musically sophisticated group ever. They utilized the greatest musicians in jazz and rock.
most musically sophisticated group ever = Rush. But hard to find a bad song from Steely Dan and are streets ahead of 2020 music
Home at Last is my favorite song by Steely Dan
Steely Dan is Donald Fagen (vocals, keys) & Walter Becker (bass/guitar) plus the best musicians around. The guitarist on this one is Elliot Randall who played on SD records throughout the 70s, along with a dozen other incredible players!
You can't miss with these guys cuz just about every song is great haha
You could spend the rest of December playing Steely Dan and still not run out of great music!
Its hard to Not Like Steely Dan. Powerful. My Old School is one terrific tune. Any Major Dude is another
Elliott Randall plays the lead guitar.
Bro..tell me that wasnt one of the sweetest base +slide guitar ever..still love it all these years later..God bless lad
Steely Dan is one of my fav bands. So many excellent songs, great musicians and production. Love Donald's voice too! That guitar tone is everything!!! King Of The World is one of my fav SD songs.
Jay Rah, I sat back and watched all of your Steely Dan vids. I was in high school from 'can't buy a thrill to 'Aja'... yeah, I'm not young anymore. Watching you react to the tonal qualities of this band, makes me smile. Reeling in the years launched a million guitars hero's..heheh.. I have been playing since I was 16 based on that tune. I still can't play; but I still have that guitar. For the last decade, it has been tuned to 'open G' so I can play 'Rain Song' by Led Zeppelin. I have other guitars of course but, that one is special because of 'reeling in the years'. You mentioned a few videos back that you were not exposed to this genre of music and that we should all be open to new forms. My personal quest for the last 50 years has been just that. 25 years ago I was into Tupac. Now, I listen to Latin Jazz. I listened to Rihanna, it has a good sense of rhythm but mainly because she is hot. The great thing about Steely Dan is the variety of instruments they provide for our listening enjoyment along with the sardonic lyrics. Keep digging into this genre, it will yield tremendous rewards for your own musical expressions. Great reactions, great insights, I subbed, and liked. Peace Out.
I love the fact that you picked up on this song being a diss track even though it has such an upbeat shuffle tempo.
More notable Steely Dan songs:
Dirty Work (1972)
Bodhisattva, My Old School (1973)
Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Any Major Dude Will Tell You (1974)
Black Friday, Bad Sneakers (1975)
Don't Take Me Alive, Haitian Divorce (1976)
Peg, Josie (1977)
Babylon Sisters, Hey Nineteen (1980)
I love Steely Dan. Not only for the music, but mostly for their smartass lyrics. They sound like the way I think. 😏 Black Cow is my favorite song.
Used to listen to a radio show called Reeling In The Years and this obviously played as It came on, the show was all about classic rock, thank my dad for his musical influence and always loved this show and King Biscuit Flour Hour if anyone remembers that radio show also! Keep those Steely Dan reactions coming!✌️
Denny Dias and "Skunk" Baxter on guitar here...now that's a 1-2 punch!!!!
Another Steely Dan fave of mine❤💖❤🤩👍👍👍✌
This album has been a part of my life for 50 years (nearly), and i just love the it's still relevant!
Hey Jay another great reaction! Try their song Old School. Got some great guitar work in that song!
One of my first eight tracks.
This song was one of their early hits.Their music took on a more jazzy feel with subsequent albums.👍
Steely Dan is awesome. I’d say my two favorites of theirs are Josie and Hey Nineteen
Deacon Blues, Peg. Hey 19, Aja, Haitian Divorce, Do it Again, Kid Charlemagne, My Old School, Green Earrings, Don't Take Me Alive.....Not every SD song is great, but NONE are bad.
The lead guitarist, Jeff Baxter, got his start as a teenager working with Jimi Hendrix at his Electric Ladyland studio, modifying Stratocasters trying to get that elusive sound that Hendrix was looking for. After his stint in The Dan, he went on to play with the Doobie Brothers, while he also worked for the Pentagon, helping to design our missile defense system (I shit you not!), later on, after 9/11, he went to work for the CIA as a counter-terrorism analyst. Baxter is the closest thing we have to a real life Buckaroo Banzai!
Elliot Randall is the guitar player in the version you're listening to although Skunk Baxter is the one that played it live with the band all the time.
Enjoyed. Thank you.
Elliott Randall is on lead guitar for this recording.
Saw them at the Ravinia Festival in Illinois in 2015. They sounded as good as you would expect them to, and DF was in good voice. The back-up singers were amazing. All the way back to Chicago, the people on that double-decker commuter train were singing Steely Dan tunes. A great night and one of my most memorable concerts.
There is not even one bad Steely Dan song, This one got a lot if air play back in the day.
2 guitarists - Jeff Skunk Baxter and Denny Diaz but Skunk joined the Doobie Bros along with michael McDonald who sang for Steely Dan- that is why you would like Living on the Fault Line - sounds like some Dan
Elliott Randall played lead guitar on this song
You’re so good at this dude.
Excellent choice - evokes so many memories 👍
Question: your close friends must have seen your channel, what do they think of you discovering great music ?
A great song that reresonates to this day. Black Cow is a great one though Deacon Vlues is one of the real bangers on Aja besides the title track! Check those songs out!👍🏻❤️☮️✌🏻
Hey Jayrah...I've really been enjoying all of your reactions. It's fun to hear your take on instrumentals & other details of a song! I'm a fan :)
Steely Dan ALWAYS brings the fire with the lyrics. 💜💚💛✌️
Wow! This is definitely an old one! Love it!
Phil Lynott always reminds me of Steely... The way he's singing.
Man this one is a rocker!
I forgot how great this song is. Reminds me of my weekend (4 years!) of college. ;>) Love hearing it with you again.
Couple songs I know you will like is humble pie black coffee and edgar and Johnny winter tobacco road. You will love these
Skunk nailed this lead that's for sure. BTW you're a very intelligent hooman.. I dig your reactions.
Elliott Randall played Lear guitar on this track
@@joshdrums37 thx.. always thought it was Skunk. cheers
Think you'd love some of Donald Fagan's solo stuff, like The Nightfly. super jazzy!
Check out Black Friday from the Dan!!
H e you done "My old school" yet? It is upbeat with horns. Love how you appreciate the music (the musicianship and the lyrics). Great job!
Green Earrings is the funkiest groove SD ever did IMO. A lot of people don't know it. Sad for them.
And one of the greatest drum fill ever too! :)
@@masapell That would be Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, one of the most influential drummers in modern music. Still alive and drumming at eighty-one.
You just scratched the service with Steely Dan
Check out Peg
Micheal mcdonald sings on that one!
They are spicey for sure. This is from their first album, a different vibe than Black Cow. This is more rock while the other songs you’ve heard were from later albums where their sound evolved to more of a jazzy, funky groove. This is 🔥 nonetheless. Enjoy your breakdowns of the instrumentation and production.
Man, you're VERY perceptive! Cool.
Love that you listened down to the last note, awesome!, some of the best play is in the fade out. SD, are brilliance, do check out Gaucho, if you haven't, "Hey 19, Babylon Sisters, and also Donald's solo work, "True Companion (Heavy Metal movie soundtrack), Nightfly album, Ruby Baby (my fav, so much old swing to it), I.G.Y., just brilliant,..keep going, enjoy, Godspeed, Peace ✌
I love their old music!
I heard you talk about folks hating on Hip Hop I think the problem lies deeper An artist today is alone no financial support These guys were talented but they were given huge budgets to make an album Lots of money to hire the best players money to spend months mixing The Golden age of record companies is over New artists get nothing I think it is way harder to make it now
Steely Dan is some of the best music of the 70s & 80s. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen basically recorded with the BEST studio musicians. Notorious perfectionists, they recorded multiple takes with multiple musicians until they liked what they heard. ANY song on their album Aja is excellent!
there is a live version that is so fucking good look out for Alive in America from like 1994 or something
Audiophiles to this day still use Steele Dan records to test their equipment.
Check out - "Steele Dan - Do it Again and also Peg".
Chain Lightnin! I never see anyone request that totally kick-ass SD tune. There are no sub-par SD tunes to be found. I've been looking for one since they came on the scene.
Shout out for Babylon Sisters - love that tune!
well spotted.. two guitars.. playing harmonies in some sections.
This is from about 1972 IIRC
Check out the Live version
👍
If you like Steely Dan, you have to listen to "Glamour Profession". Check it out.
Okay music like they said in the other comment yeah you pretty much can't miss with them I kind of like Hey Nineteen and Peg and this one by Steely Dan.
"Heard the drums"
The great Bernard Purdie played the drums on this track. Check out some of his drumming tutorials, he is an entertainer.
No, Jim Hodder played the drums on this track. The first time Bernard Purdie played for Steely Dan is on the album The Royal Scam, where he played on all but two of the tracks.
@@dwgale01 you're right, my apologies to you and Jim Hodder. I was misinformed. Steely Dan incorporated a lot of musicians in their career.
@@harrytreakle7986 They always wanted the best. Side note: Walter Becker had no problem NOT playing on one of his songs. He was more concerned that the song be as perfect as he could make it.
Check out Dirty work of the same album.
Yes there are 2 guitars.. ♠W.G.
check out "Doctor Wu" for some crucial Dan
This sounds like Thin Lizzy! 🤔
Super early stuff. I swear nothing they do is not good.
Steely Dan = Perfection in music.
i defy you to find an average track,let alone a bad one from the groove-masters.
I think you'll love FM by them,and Babylon Sisters,and Dont Take Me Alive,and Pretzel Logic,and Night by Night and.....damn,ALL of them.
Wait until you get to the albums “Two Against Nature (2000) and “Everything Must Go (2003)”....
Jeff “skunk” Baxter on lead guitar he’s great
Agree that Skunk is great, but this is Elliott Randall on lead.
It’s Elliott Randall on lead
Did you do show biz kids?
Jeff Skunk
Try FM, Any Major Dude Will Tell you
what's up with the third eye poster ? Are you a free mason ?
All apologies, J. I could’ve let it slide, didn’t so I owed you that apology. I’ll check myself
Empirical knowledge only means you know something, it doesn't imply you understand it. Understanding is equal to wisdom. Math can no more be equal to explanations than empirical knowledge is equal to wisdom. Math can just as easily support an incorrect conclusion, as it can support a correct conclusion, Math is not science, it is only a tool "of" science.
You know, you’re allowed to do one of these without having to say ‘with that being said.’ 😉 I mean you and every other person who reacts to songs. Just a thought.
