Let's just take a moment and acknowledge just how mesmerizing it is to watch an LP spin on a nice turntable. Love the entire Aja album. Bought this the day it came out on vinyl.
Yes LP is nice spread out on a mountain soon and yours ❤ but sometimes I really get off on a real to real , could of should of paid for one 30years ago . I guess if it's not used alot and properly cleaned it can still perform as a real to real?
See the real to real goes on for hours with hardly any fuss. LP needs the arm taken on and off every 30minutes. Yes it's nice to hear the scratches of and oldie but goodie, but sometimes there just too warped. You can't imagine how many I've come across that a just too warped to really appreciate the music. Then there's the freaknasee, don't get me going.
There's no bigger turn off to a real guy than when his lover puts on a Donna Sumners LP, well There's a few others Pink shower cap 3 hours in bathroom 20+ minutes to exit vehicle That's about it
Sadly, there aren't many artists as real as this anymore. This is true and pure talent. No computerizing, no auto-tuner... Man, I was born in the wrong decade. lol
@@Corekidbeenybunny well really, you could have seen them until 2017. That's when Walter Becker died and they were touring until then. I think Donald Fagen still tours, though. 🙂
I'd be honored if some Steely Dan fans would take a listen to my live keyboard & vocal performances of JOSIE and HOME AT LAST on my YT channel in tribute to the Aja album and the legendary songwriting of Fagen and Becker. Raw acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
My mothers name was Josie. When the line says Shes the pride of the neighborhood would come up she would raise her hands in joy. I would never tell what the song was really about. My departed mother will always be in my heart!
So Precious💋..that was her song (go Mama!) and mommas always know...Bless this and other memories of your mama😘...I miss my momma too (In our Hearts for Infinity)
To my grandma josphine. Lost her on June 11th 2009. Gone but never forgotten. Still in my heart today and forever. Eddies wife cheryl. R.i.p Grandma Love you.
You're not listening to vinyl, however. You're listening to audio that has been digitally compressed, at least twice - once by the uploader's encoding, and the second, by youtube itself. And it frankly sounds like this isn't direct from the source, anyway: it sounds like the uploader recorded the sound coming out of his speakers, probably with the mono mic on his cell phone.
Luna8P , Me too. I am now 56 years old. I remember when many '70's bands debuted. Brings back great memories.. I love Steely Dan And I loved the 1970's. ✌
Well, actually, he knew his craft well and that is the principle reason he did well. Music isn't simply expressing oneself. He was precise in what he wanted and released.
@@vanillagorilla8236 Whole band on the first 3 albums. Stopped touring in 1974-- started using different musicians to back up Donald Fagen & Walter Becker in the studio starting on the 4th album.. Katy Lied.
@@margovallen like I said, behind the music tells the whole story. Do it again and that early stuff most of us are no fans of. That Jazz,Rock,Blues is what most fans of Becker and Fagen love.
Nice job, sounds great I remember my first ever paychecks went to buying a technics receiver, 25 watts per channel etc and then it was the turntable, I used to love that quarts light and adjusting the speed to perfection, thanks for the memories, great tune.
Musically there are some similarities between this and "FM (No Static at All)" One of the best pieces of R & B fused with jazz that the album Aja had to offer. Although the whole album was revolutionary for its time. Thanks to Tenacious V for his inclusion of this on You Tube. I hope everyone else will get up and dance to this music.
Chuck Raney is such a wonderful humble man and a great bassist. When I met him at NAMM he graciously shared time and insights with me. Trulely an inspiration. I thanked him for his collective works and how they have furthered my abilities and graced F Clef charts for all times to come. ..... Josie and Don't take me alive are still on my performance set lists.
vinyl does sound better. you can heard each instrument better. CDs just smear it all together too much. vinyl sounds more like live music and is a bit more raw. it is richer sounding and more real. it like what film is to video. film is better, too. better quality, more depth, better color, looks more real, etc.
It sounds better when recorded directly in to the PC line input but not when recording the speakers with a low quality microphone which is what I presume happened here. Trust me I'm sat behind a nice pair of monitors and like vinyl enough to have three turntables.
No, it's a colossally stupid idea. Do you think you can stream an analog signal? What you're listening to here is a digital recording of an analog recording that now includes the record's surface noise.
The album Aja was Steely Dan's masterpiece........ Steely Dan isthe only artist I could hack mastering the sax. And that whole album was one I'll never forget........ah the times and the memories. Classic....... blazin' still.
I was 12 years old going through a very difficult time. This song took me to another dimension. It's a story to get lost in, and the groove is something my young body absorbed without even being aware of it. And the bass line... So tasty and with the 3 distinct parts of the part low mid and high slide part. amazing. Music education in one song...the song structure with all the different stages. so much to say. just listen with headphones
***** Have frozen shoulder in my typing arm - and arthritis - don't worry am working on it, will be better soon. You are very kind. Hope you are well and enjoying this special weekend.....Lorraine
Steely Dan is unique Mr Fagen is so remarkable with his ability to combine various musuc styles is off the charts, with music like his time was a whole lot better GOD BLESS YOU STEELY DAN
A Young Soldier 20 Years Old stationed In Germany, Man It Was On Like Mackey Stone...The Sound Systems Were Awesome, The Bigger The Better.. The Rack Stack Amps , Pioneer Reel 2 Reel, Teac, Kenwood, Akia, Technics Etc, On and On, The Turntables Bose 10.2 s , 901s 301s Man It Never STOPPED..Good Stuff..
The Aja, The royal scam, Gaucho and Alive in America albums are my favourites. Not only for the great musicianship but also the great recording sound. Not one weak second of music on any of these albums. I can hear them over and over again. Their old stuff is fantastic but the above mentioned is their best to me.
I`m 60 years old, and love all the songs from the group. In time when I had heard them for the first time, they gave me hope that R@R will survive. They not from this earth.
Just had a daughter named her Josephina and so I searched Josie and this came up. Had practically forgot about this song. Maybe never even heard it.lol. sounds on point great quality. Thanks for posting.
This song reminds me of driving through the city with my family to visit my cousins on a sunny Saturday afternoon as a little kid. That 'heady air', the aroma of barbeques on every neighboring block. Ahhh the good ole days ;)
Steely Dan sounds like Steely Dan. And nobody else does. Sometimes I have to listen to a "New Rock" radio station at work. And 60% of the songs sound like it is the same guy singing them. And 10 minutes after the song is over, you can't remember any detail of the song.
This group of songs that am listening right now just brings me back with so much pleasure. I know a girl in school that was just as the record describes as, Josie...OMG!!!
Maybe because it is a superlative example of song writing, musicianship and the coolness that permeated alot of the music that came out of the 70's? ;-)
Heerlijk, het geluid vanaf een draaitafel. Oh, wat hield ik van Steely Dan, dat geluid, die stemmen zo mooi samen en dan dat rare orgeltje. Toen en nu, ik zing mee.
I love when u find old quality stereo eq. I bought a beautiful turntable at a thrift shop. It finally broke. Called Hunt Audio. I know the owner. He said Rich take it to a dumpster close ur eyes and throw it in. That was sooooo hard to do. Remember the JC Penny MTX Stereo. Loved the silver face and toggle switches. Always wanted one. Rock on.
I disagree.always prefer a belt drive to direct drive turntable,and the midrange is seriously lacking on this upload.sorry mate,but Steely Dan deliver perfection,and perfection is required to listen.
Cockney Red Plus if you're going to share, put it through the PC. Can't get a full experience recording the speakers. Nice try though, it's better than most who do it this way.
I wanted to show the turntable in action for its nostalgic value and the raw sound of it playing in the room. I recently acquired a Sony PCM-M10 and will record some more with a direct line in next time.
Possibly the best drum groove ever recorded. When Jeff Porcaro heard this he made an hour loop of it and play it non-stop. Jim Keltner brilliance. Pure Kelter...listen to Gary Wright Dream Weaver for the same non-linear groove. Dude has ears unlike the rest of us mortals.
Jeff Porcaro rules-I love your screenname!!Jeff also recorded Peg on a cassette tape and drove around LA listening to it non stop.JP rules forever and always!!Porcaro,Keltner,Gadd.Marotta,Greene and Purdie not a bad group of drummers for the AJA sessions.
I am fascinated that you said "dude has ears unlike the rest of us mortals". As a long-time drummer who others think has a god-given talent, I myself have determined my drumming skills are not physical nor mental, but aural. I can hear things in other drummers' playing and in music that most people do not hear. That being said, JP is my favorite drummer of all time, followed closely by Louie Bellson and Gregg Bissonette. For radio played songs, SD will always be THE band I turn to for pure listening pleasure. Thank God for players like Jeff, Purdie, Gadd, Moratta, and all of those who have made my listening life so much richer.
***** I judge peoples musical knowledge on two things-favorite drummers and favorite bassists, and you pretty much nailed all my favorite drummers.My second favorite behind JP is Jim Gordon others I worship are-Steve Gadd,Tony Williams,Liberty De Vitto(Billy Joel)Danny Serraphine(Chicago),Stewart Copeland,Dennis Chambers,Vinnie Colauita,Dave Weckl and Virgil Donati to name a few.
Just beautiful best band ever Thankyou your music shaped my life .. Some f.......g great memories and great times and some good gear in the 70s just love em still to this day

Pink shower cap
3 hours in bathroom

That's about it
The grooves. The lyrics. The players. The playing. The song kills it on loop.
One of the most underrated bands in the history of music.
Sadly, there aren't many artists as real as this anymore. This is true and pure talent. No computerizing, no auto-tuner... Man, I was born in the wrong decade. lol
Steely Dan us one of the best bands ever. Too bad I was born too late to see them live
@@Corekidbeenybunny well really, you could have seen them until 2017. That's when Walter Becker died and they were touring until then. I think Donald Fagen still tours, though. 🙂
@@emeraldstardust10 Sadly, you comment from ten years ago is truer than ever, and only going to be more so with the proliferation of AI
This is such a damn good beat, There is not to much good music like this anymore.
The smoothness of their music never fails to impress. It's like it's too good for this world.
Had to play this today in memory of Walter Becker, and what a great way to do so than by LP.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Becker, and thank you.
packyman That's why I'm here too. I'd forgotten how much I loved this song, and so many others.
Fuck yeah...
But not to that other Steely Dan.
When Josie comes home
So bad
She's the best friend we ever had
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire
starns mc (She's the best friend we never had). Josie is a fictional character. But most men like a women who will pray like a roman.

Mmm, sounds so beautiful & clear on vinyl, I miss those good ol' days...
Looks like the good ol' days are back. More and more new releases are coming out on vinyl.
You're not listening to vinyl, however. You're listening to audio that has been digitally compressed, at least twice - once by the uploader's encoding, and the second, by youtube itself. And it frankly sounds like this isn't direct from the source, anyway: it sounds like the uploader recorded the sound coming out of his speakers, probably with the mono mic on his cell phone.
The BS is strong with this one
Luna8P , Me too. I am now 56 years old. I remember when many '70's bands debuted. Brings back great memories.. I love Steely Dan
And I loved the 1970's.
✌
I treasure this LP since I bought it in the 70's...One awesome piece of music!
NOTHING comes close to the sound quality of VINYL! This sounds absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely right. Nothing beats the whole vinyl experience...
Walter Becker was a hell'ov guitar player. Had his own style . RIP Brother
kixwire A real "player"...
Well, actually, he knew his craft well and that is the principle reason he did well. Music isn't simply expressing oneself. He was precise in what he wanted and released.
Larry Carlton plays the solo .. walter playing the fills
This tune is one of my favorite examples of brilliant Steely Dan lyrics and their usual superbly crafted sound quality.
Great song it really takes me back to a better time
I found myself not drumming on my table thinking it would make the record skip..
Lord, I haven't thought about that for decades. :-)
Patrick O'Connell: Yeah, In that old too!
:-@!
Ha ! A colleague table-drummer ! My former boss should have known about this fact !
I think you said that backwards lmao
I'm 15 years old, and I love them too! Actually, my boyfriend and I saw Donald Fagen in Dukes of September, and it was the best concert ever!
Better quality than Blu Ray.
One of my favorite Steely Dan tunes...then again, I say that anytime I hear them. Not a bad one among them!
the best band in the world
"Home at Last" is probably my favorite song of all time, no joke
2 Men, not really a Band ? If you get a chance watch the (behind the Music) video if you a fan, your will love it.
@@vanillagorilla8236 Whole band on the first 3 albums. Stopped touring in 1974-- started using different musicians to back up Donald Fagen & Walter Becker in the studio starting on the 4th album.. Katy Lied.

Top Thirty hit from the fall of 1978-This is one of the best songs on the "Aja" album.
I was in junyer high school when steely Dan Josie came out!

Winter mornings in Lorain. I would smoke a joint and float off to school with this album playing in my headphones
HA😂
RIP, Walter. Fagen keep it alive, the music is phenomenal.
Their precise recording techniques really stand out on this song!
Still phenomenal to listen to after all these decades, whether at nighttime or daytime..
Were gonna break out the hats and hooters

You can here how some this sounds like one his riffs from "peg"
Robert Nicklin , DON'T TAKE ME ALIVE. and KID CHARLEMAGNE are among my favorites of Steely Dan🙂✌
When Josie comes home so good,She is proud of our neighbor hood.
What a great idea. It sounds better. People should just admit it. Vinyl just sounds better.

One of my best friends just died, this was our jam. Miss you aj❤
it sounds SO incredible for vinyl! Love this song =)
Love the sound, Man! Damn. It's very crisp n' clear. Nice.
We're rocking and jamming with Josie in the 70's in San Francisco
Thank you,nothing like the sound of vinyl.
Speachless...This is the best of multi media...... Keep minds open..
Becker Brilliance. Laying down the jam.

Not one weak second of music on any of these albums. I can hear them over and over again. Their old stuff is fantastic but the above mentioned is their best to me.
Great Bopper, one of the best! Love the crackle and pop after the song ends- now that's a fond memory!
I LOVE this track! One of my most favorite Steely Dan tracks! I also like that you have a pic of the original album...very cool!
I am listening to this over marginally fair computer speakers, and the room echo from the recording is perfect. Reminds me of college.
I`m 60 years old, and love all the songs from the group. In time when I had heard them for the first time, they gave me hope that R@R will survive. They not from this earth.
Another golden one from this album. Parties on the beach ya!
thanks...it helped my kids understand what I mean by records, also helps them appreciate what they have now
Just had a daughter named her Josephina and so I searched Josie and this came up. Had practically forgot about this song. Maybe never even heard it.lol. sounds on point great quality. Thanks for posting.

Love Steely Dan this one my favorites. A classic. This man is a genius with the guitar.
A TURNTABLE!!!!!
AWESOME!!!
Love this band
this has got to be one of the greatest songs from Steely Dan....ever...if you love them , you know this to be true....
My aunt Penny introduced me to this band in the 70s...r.i.p. Penny, I can never thank you enough.....
Hear the crackle ..beautiful reality quality group unique amazing soulful brilliant lyrics...would never have been discovered in this soulless age.
Yes child! Old people's music is good. Kid you have culture and class.
Tremendous recording, best ever by SD--been loving it for so many years, great sound start to finish!

Apparently 13 people don't have EARS??! This is incredible music... creative, witty, beautiful and ahead of it's time etc.
I love Steely Dan. Memories of growing up in East L.A. 1970s.
I wonder why I love this song? :)
Josie Ouiri glen
Maybe because it is a superlative example of song writing, musicianship and the coolness that permeated alot of the music that came out of the 70's? ;-)
Because you appreachiate great music my friend
I wonder if it's something about the names Fagen & Becker choose for song titles?
Josie Ouiri In another life you were his back up sexy dancer?
The quality on this music is so crisp!
As fresh today as it was years and years ago!! So incredibly hip!!
SUPERB STEELY DAN
Love me some Steely Dan. Beautiful song
top of the line great music
One large two topping pizza, with pepperoni, and mushrooms and a 2 liter of Pepsi. Btw, I love this song...thought i'd just throw that out there!! :)
You got it, man! Even though I'm, 53, this sounds so good!

this great American music had good beat, suspense, things we lost along the way...

Great sound!!!. Love it!!!!. Great biker song!!!. Having a fantastic night at work at the university!!!.. Rock it!!!!.. love my heart and soul!!!!.
Look at thrift stores....found Jensen turntable...10 bucks!!! Connected to pair of Boston Acoustics speakers...$4 at same thrift store!!!!!! Happy!!!
Thrift stores are the best. I swear 85% of my record collection came from thrift stores.
Phyllis Petras AWESOME! I play on a Technics SL 23 Zenith 1040 Reciever & Technics 3-Way towers
Ive had similar luck..nice Technics AV receiver with surprisingly nice RCA 2 way speakers.
wow....
I love when u find old quality stereo eq. I bought a beautiful turntable at a thrift shop. It finally broke. Called Hunt Audio. I know the owner. He said Rich take it to a dumpster close ur eyes and throw it in. That was sooooo hard to do. Remember the JC Penny MTX Stereo. Loved the silver face and toggle switches. Always wanted one. Rock on.
It took me quite a while to figure out how to play this song on guitar it was well worth it . RIP Walter Beckner. You will be missed!
We named our dog Josie for this song. Steely Dan rules.
Such a dark & haunting guitar sound.. I love it
beautiful masterpiece
Jesus! You wish you could make music like this! Heaven indeed!
right on man.. that was a treat.. system sounds great!
