As someone old enough to remember AM radio, this song is 🔥❤️
Thanks for watching Cindy!
I'm old enough to remember drum circles
One of the tastiest guitar solos you'll ever hear by Walter on the fade out. RIP WB.
Delicious!
FM Radio was my generations" tech " that changed us. Born in 1960. Music would never be the same from that time on.
Music will never be the same, not even close>>>The music of today sucks, don't even listen to it, it's crap>>>!!!!
Born in 48 so I remember listening to was out of Chicago setting on a 59 Chevy hood
Yes. I grew up in radio back in the 1970’s with the hippie DJ’s. AM radio was the main frequencies and then FM Stereo came along. They put all of the elevator music on FM. About this time Steely Dan came out and all the cool stations switched to FM. Steely Dan definitely played a factor with the quality of their music and a new definition of Rock N Roll. BTW. I’m still a radio engineer now. Now it’s…HD. But there will never be anything like analog FM and Vinyl records.
Now you guys and GALS REAL LIZWY WE DIDN'T BOTHER WITH THE 8OS OR ANNTHING LATTER!
"That solo was more about what he wasn't playing" Keen observation!
Thanks!
Walter Becker’s finest soloing, with his solo on Josie a close second.
Hard not to enjoy it!
Don’t forget Water on Black Friday and Home At Last.
The late, great Jeff Porcaro once stated that this was his favorite performance.
The guy is in my top 3 drummers of all time, how can I argue with him?
Steely Dan are THE most sophisticated interpreters of lyrically oriented rock/jazz fusion music has yet produced. FM is art, plain and simple
Agreed!
@@SightAfterDark Hip with a capital H, for me since 74+😊😊
There are 2 versions of this classic Steely Dan song. The other one has a long sax solo at the end instead of the guitar solo (and my 45 7” single has the song fade back in and then the long sax solo. Someone had also combined both the guitar and sax end solos to make one long classic. It’s on RUclips somewhere.
I personally think that the longer version with the sax solo at the end is the best version. It’s a shame it’s less common.
Thanks! We’ll have to check it out!
@@52ndWarhawkGerbil I agree, the version with the long sax solo is the best. It's the more 'jazzy' version.
The sax player, Pete Christlieb, also did the solo on "Deacon Blues." He was a member of "The Tonight Show" band when the show was hosted by Johnny Carson. Fagen and Becker used to watch the show, and the band would play tunes during commercial breaks. Often, the band would be finishing a tune after the commercial ended and the broadcast returned to the set. Fagen and Becker took note of a particular saxophone player who would be blowing a blistering solo during these moments. They found out who he was, and hired him for a session.
That's awesome! Good for them!
If you hadn't mentioned Pete's contribution, I was gonna lay it in there! Nice to meet a fellow music geek! Gonna drop a link to a marvelous piece/production with some stellar LA session cats in it. It's a fantastic homage to the golden era of when these musicians could buy houses & raise families from steady work in the industry. Incredible to hear the interviews within. Pete is featured within. ruclips.net/video/NTod1vCePV8/видео.html
Interview starts @ 31:40
this song oozes confidence
You know it Peter!
I could stay on the Steely Dan train all the time! 💞
Us too!
I own the original letter bought it when it came out
Now you guys have to listen to their only other song not to appear on a studio album, or erased by a sound engineer...It’s called “Here At The Western World” and it was supposed to be on the Royal Scam but they decided against it and just put it on their ‘72- ‘80 box set called Citizen Steely Dan. It’s a must listen to for sure.
Just a correction but “Here at the Western World” was actually on the Greatest Hits album released in ‘78. The Citizen box set came out years later.
I always thought that HATWW would have fit perfectly on side two of "The Royal Scam", between "Green Earrings" and "Haitian Divorce" as a sort of palate cleanser.
Will definitely be listening soon!
@@SightAfterDark Second Arrangement and The Bear, were never released.
"Gilmour-esque" - love it. For some time, I thought that Walter was inspired by Gilmour's solo on Another Brick in the Wall, then realized that this tune pre-dates that song. Walter takes double duty on both bass and guitar. Pete Christlieb on tenor sax, who you no doubt recognize from his iconic solo on Aja's Deacon Blues. Finally, backup vox - Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Tim Schmit. Love your reactions. Here at the Western World next, please.
+1 for Here At The Western World.
Will do here at the western world soon! Thanks for being here!
In the beginning, you hear Victor Feldman playing a drum called a “Cuíca”. I think this was the only SD song it was featured on. I recently found out what it was. Always wondered what instrument was making that sound.
It sounds awesome!
Brilliant song! Quite a big hit single here in the UK. Thanks for reviewing it.
Thanks for watching Tim!
The title track to a movie of the same name - you’d really enjoy the movie, it’s really a snapshot of the time and what an FM radio station might have been like.
Thanks Dave!
It’s tough to find, though.
"That solo was more about what he wasn't playing." Perfection isn't when there's nothing left to add, but rather when there is nothing left to take away.
Thats a great way to put it David!
@@SightAfterDark, the first time I heard that was in reference to John Deacon's bass riff in Under Pressure.
There are 4 versions of this with an extended version jazz outro too that's amazing. Your right, Steely Dan doesn't disappoint. Great live too to this day.
Legendary song for a mostly forgettable movie.
LOL
True, but I watched the movie for the music!
As big a disconnect as "How Do You Talk To An Angel" was from "The Heights."
I grew up in a time before cable/satellite TV, internet, cell phones, VCRs, CDs/DVDs, earbuds, etc. Most TV and radio stations would sign off at midnight after playing the Star Spangled Banner. Most portable radios were little boxes that ran on 9v batteries, only received AM and sounded like shit. But we loved them. Those were the days of vinyl, 8-track, and cassette tapes and most radio stations were AM stations. WHB 710 was the AM top 40 station that I listened to almost exclusively. FM was a HUGE step forward to clear, stereo that sounded amazing. KYYS 102.1/KY-102 was the album rock station in Kansas City and it stood alone for many years. KBEQ 104.3/Q104 was the pop/rock Top 40 station that started the FM music wave in KC if memory serves correct. KPRS103.3 was the soul/funk station. These were programed into my push button presets(where you dialed to get the signal just right and pulled the button out and pressed it back in to set it). I can't remember the year but my most prized possession/Christmas gift was a Panasonic AM/FM cassette player/recorder. It wasn't stereo, but it had a big speaker with good sound that could record directly from the radio. I would camp out with my finger on the Record button during song transitions waiting for my favorites. This was one of them. It had to be at night because the daytime DJs would overlap the songs and talk during the intros. Great memories that really make me appreciate how far we have come.
Introduced to their music back in 1975 - never looked back since.
There is no bad SD song. They're all bangers.
My favorite from Steely Dan. Cannot go wrong with this one.
You said it Dan!
One of their best. It should have been included in Aja or Gaucho.
Its a great one!
Sax solo parts made it way to into Hey Nineteen
Love the occasional Steely Dan tune that doesn't really require a secret de-coder to decipher!
Haha very occasional! Thanks Randy!
Funky and smooth at the same time
Hell yeah!!!! You have to listen to all of Donald fagen solo albums!!!! Please!!!
I.G.Y. & New Frontier. - exceptional songs.
Can’t forget Ruby Baby & Maxine!
The Nitefly album is🔥
Will do once we finish the Steely Dan albums!
Nitefly....YES!
You got the same vibe from the song as far as the guitar solo sounding like David Gilmour. The guitar sound, plus the strum of chords sounds like the riff from Comfortably Numb, although it preceded that song by a couple of years or so.
Yup! That’s definitely it
Oh yeah that just took me back to the 70's in San Diego, Great thank you!
We’re glad you enjoyed Marian!
I grew up with this band
Your show at Parkside Lounge rocked the house!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much John, we appreciate you!
@@SightAfterDark There is an article about the song Glamour Profession which posits that "Hoops McCann" is a reference to a baseball player named Dock Ellis who played for the LA Pirates. They changed the sport from baseball to basketball to cover their tracks. Dock had taken LSD on a game day and was still tripping when the time for the game to start approached. So he had someone go score some coke for him. Hence the "special delivery". 😂😂😂
Hey, speaking of voting, I tried to vote for Gaucho today, but the site didn't calculate it so maybe the voting has ended, but all those choices I'd vote for, but primarily Kate Bush, who I don't think I've heard reactions from by you before, and Remain in Light I've been gearing for for a while. So you got my scattered votes now.
Hey Robert, thanks for the comment! The voting did end yesterday right before we recorded some more videos, but there will be a new poll as soon as we’re done with Tumbleweed Connection! Thanks again for your support, it means the world to us!
One of my top five Steely Dan songs, for sure.
It's a great one!
Hell yeah thanks SAD
No no. Thank you!!
The word that you're searching for is elite!!! This is the worlds first "Supergroup"!!!!! And you dont even know their names?
Elite for sure. Thanks for being here Brian!
Great!, you did this one!. I played the shit out of this track for a few months after it's release and my subsequent purchase of the FM movie soundtrack cassette which I purchased (I was in the 8th grade/14 y.o.) What is odd is I never saw the movie, but the soundtrack had Bob Segar, The Eagles, Queen. James Taylor, Randy Meisner, etc...yep played the shit out of the FM soundtrack. Thank you :)
I’ve always heard Gilmore in this masterpiece as well! Right on bro! 💥👊🥂
nice job folks!
Thanks for watching!
Man, when I discovered FM radio back in the 70s, it was like I had discovered a whole new planet. There were weird stations playing weird music you would NEVER hear on AM - bands like Jethro Tull, Rush, Genesis (back when they were good), Jarre, Led Zeppelin, Sex Pistols, ELP, XTC, etcetera, etcetera. I was INSTANTLY hooked. Oh yeah... and NO static at ALL.
No static ever!
Check out the 1978 movie FM. It was sort of a critique of the radio industry at that time. One of my favorite Steely Dan songs though.
I used to always plug in Micky Mouse to the Method of Modern love spelling
Real good one that it the movie topic well!👍🏻❤️☮️🎤🎼🎹🎸
LOL guys, re-visited this one . . . . as the iconic masterpiece of jazz-rock begins, world-famous musicians/stellar arrangement all merging, mixed perfectly for unique style and groove .... throwaway lyric "grapefruit wine" is sung and our girl's first reaction is "yum."
Gilmore tone for sure. FYI it is from the movie FM. (great soundtrack)
Haha we’ve heard the actual movie wasn’t that good
@@SightAfterDark true the movie was a flop but the soundtrack was great.
This was a song from the movie FM
It was written for purpose, and they certainly came up with the goods. The move was horrible, but this song is another ear-gasim from these legends. Getting the Eagles to do the backing vocals was a coup. Walter at his best, with clear Gilmour influences, but I'm also hearing him echo some classic Drew Zing licks, he's brilliant on bass as well as his wonderful guitar work, it just oozes excellence. Mandel's strings, Porcaro's drums, I mean, does it get any better than this? You guys are now changed forever like me and millions of other fans of the literary dildo duo. Thanks for another lovely reaction. I had a blast watching you guys succumb to a musical enigma that I fear may never be repeated. Not ever. Not by you, not by me, not by Shaggy or Beyonce, or DJ Khaled, or eAeon, anyone. I hope I'm wrong, though. You guys are young and talented, loving watching you grow as musicians. Thanks for giving us a window in on your journey with your art. Sending love and positive vibes! Keep at it! :-)
Thanks so much for being here! We appreciate your kind words!
David Gilmour; AKA Walter Becker. You're totally right though. It most certainly could have been Gilmour., and it's brilliant. There are alternative versions with sax outros.
Thanks for watching Brian!
no static at all!
You know it!
Won the "FM" soundtrack from local AM station back in the 70s. Filled with hit songs. Worth checking out.
Babylon sisters is a must.
ruclips.net/video/3BpmDqB3fg0/видео.html :)
There is this version with the sax solo in the end instead, it´s very very good. But I don´t wanna miss Becker´s guitar here. It´s a little bit gilmourish (oh, now I see, you mentioned that too - wasn´t paying attention) but in Walter´s sparkling restraint. You´re so right - not one note too much and none too few.
In "Gaslighting Abbie" he did an (almost) one-note guitar solo - believe it or not.
The guitar sound is similar to the soloing on “another brick in the wall”. Slightly dirty, very in and out with the dynamics.
Sounds about right!
For us older people who were around when the FM radio network was just getting off the ground, we know what a wonderful advance it was!
AM radio was vulnerable to any electrical issues.....a thunderstorm between you and your AM station's tower meant you got a big burst of static over your speakers.....FM eliminated that problem.
'No static at all'
Shoutout to FM radio! Thanks for watching Andrew!
Brilliant analysis. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
"Funky Glamorous" haha...nice foreshadowing ;)
That's Walter Becker on guitar and it does sound like Gilmour, another nice catch!
Thanks Tim
I liked the movie and TV show based on movie WKRP. The movie is 70s radio station to a tee. The actors and actresses were well known and made movie.
I think you are right, this is part of a movie score. Pete chrislieb??? On Sax, deacon blues Sax solo also
I think there are about 3-4 different versions of this song with different endings. ❤
Great Dan Sax Track.
You said it Steve!
I remember when the transistor radio first came and AM white noise on 2 dimensional motown music...we thought that was great...but FM was slick with depth and left and right walls.
Great song great review. I have to tell you I had this crazy reaction because even though I’ve heard this song a million times before (like most Steely Dan fans) it wasn’t until I heard it this time the thought occurred to me that Walter Beckers’s guitar solo sounded a bit like Pink Floyd - and then I heard you guys say it was Gilmore-esque! Wow something was in the air lol
Great minds think alike! Thanks for watching Steve!
This track, while recorded during the sessions for Aja, was never intended to appear on that album, as it was made for the movie soundtrack. But as others have said here, you owe it to yourselves to seek out the fan-maximized mix that includes both Becker’s brilliant extended guitar solo AND the equally amazing extended saxophone fade-out. It’s on RUclips, and it’s the only way to go with this track.
I have heard this song many times but reaction videos like yours have me listening to it thru other's ears. Thank you because I totally compared the guitar solo to Gilmore too. Great reaction!
Thanks so much Max!
I got it in a pile of cd singles that had been reduced in price. Best 20p I've ever spent!!
A thousand subs! Congrats, guys.
Thanks Andrew!
Steely Dan giving the masses the funked up Muzak … subversive elevator jams for days … people humming along to some twisted lyrics
😂yes
Totally agree with the Gilmour comparison.
:)
Gilmore-esk is a good description for the guitar. Lean and clean.....
That "FFFF MMMMM" refrain is very reminiscent of the first FM radio stations in the late 60s, early 70s, which were pretty sophisticated compared to the top 40 AM Stations that predominated at the time. AM had fast talking DJs and 3 minute radio versions with the DJ talking over any instrumental intros. FM had smooth DJs who spoke softly and less and played long album tracks.
The contrast is parodied well by Fireside Theater in the beginning to their comedy album, "How can you be in two places at once when you're not anyplace at all."
Thanks for watching! Appreciate your input!
How can you tease us like that
haha what do you mean?
@@SightAfterDark I wanted to see it right then and there!
@@robertcordero2917 Here it is!
You are probably too young to get the reference, before FM Radio there was no "hi fidelity" on the radio. AM had crap sound but that was all there was unless or until your friend had a great stereo! The "no static at all" is all about the sound quality. Musically, an amazing track, as most of the Dan's are.
Have you guys done Babylon Sisters yet? If not do it! Thank me later 😉
Haha haven’t done it yet. Thanks for watching Heather!
Sax solo is none other than Tonight Show alum Pete Christlieb again (Black Cow sax solo). The extended version has his great, long outro solo. His outro solo is pure genius!!
Awesome!
Tom Scott did the sax on Black Cow and Pete Christlieb did the sax solo on Deacon Blues.
Ahhh, yes you are correct! Tom was on Black Cow, Pete was on Deacon Blues....It’s my age catching up with me! (Tom is stellar in his own right!) ;)
Sifa, what d'you think of "the boys" take on things here?
This is a much different listening experience than those to which I'd become acclimated over the years...haven't done headphones on transit, in public in years...never done ear-buds, for example. Home? Hmmm...
So listenable, so worthy of the effort; well-conceived, well-crafted, wellwellwell...
Fair warning, I'm gonna suggest 'Electric Ladyland' asap 8>D
We love Electric Ladyland!
Songs as golden mesh shirts.
Soundtrack/theme music from the 1978 John A. Alonzo film.

Thanks Rogerio!
Favorite Steely Dan anecdote about their "musician stable"...
phone rings; (girlfriend's voice) Baby, how about I come over tonight? (guy) Sure honey, come on over. oh, there's someone on the other line; 10 seconds later..Umm I gotta bounce, Steely just called, they need me at the studio. (ex-girlfriend) you %$#^*&&&%@&& !!!
Lol sounds about right
from 12 to present
63
More than a hint - those ARE strings!
Another song you won’t find on an album is Here at the Western World (Greatest Hits only)
Sounds good! Thanks!
Bros got more rhythm than tha sista? Beautiful,
It's a pity the movie was nowhere as good as the song.
You should listen to Donald Fagens' Morph the Cat.
A simple song ...FM in early 70's was a phenomena..AM was hissing with static and not stereo..so imagine this FM WITH CRYSTAL silence that from what I here had amazing stations in west coast and east coast where all styling of music could be expressed...AM was king but not for long..small community radio channels used FM..BIG COMMERCIAL,,AM.....
Minimal guitar solo is what you say.
.BY mid to late 70's the simulcast was POPULAR where live concerts would do a simulcast with radio so the viewers could listen in stereo and experience quality sound instead of mono TV soundtrack.
gRATEFUL DEAD was first on commercial TV in 1970 ..This was hard to do to make the visuals line up with sound...When cable came this posed another problem and MTV in 1981 did first simulcast on MTV with Frank Zappa halloween concert..strange considering they did not play his music...
When I was young we had 4 Channels of commercial TV and every night at 11 PM the TV went off and there was nothing on...You would wake up with TV white noise...nothing come on till thunderbirds at 6 in morning..The programmers from Tavistock had no material for night and nobody was awake anyway..If you wanted milk or smokes there was no 7/11...you had to drive for miles to the truck stop petrol station..
Then a great thing happen..they kept TV on all night and played music video's on some eternal loop..after you saw the same video's you got sick of it but night owls had some relief..now it is shopping channel..check this out...this is what happen at 11 pm..so you are with friends smoking and drinking and the silly TV is on to comfort those like a security blanket and then boom...she pulls up...watch to end..This does pathos to my mind...watch it...Sydney was so wonderful and tiny small city..TV stopped????and no internet..nothing..no phone..we had no phone in house..you had to go to phone box..and when you walked to friends place and they were not home you would have to walk back home.but that was OK..not like today..mssg friends first..not walk miles and his mom says he went out,,??? i will delete all this..just communicating thoughts for perspective My city of sydney Tommy Leonetti - RUclips
Glad you enjoyed! We appreciate your thoughts!
@@SightAfterDark you do best first timers I have seen..my sister here likes Peter Tosh..surely she has heard ''third world''..a new zealander once turned me on to them in 1984,,somewhere near Victorian border of NSW australia..He showed my how to make a proper bow and arrow for pig shooting which is their tradition..that's another story..ruclips.net/video/ZtKc8ATkYik/видео.html
Did you guys know that there is another Steely Dan song between FM and Gaucho? It's called Century's End.
It's definitely worth checking out.
Thanks Ken!
Great tune but not Steely Dan, and not between Aja and Gaucho. It's Donald Fagen solo, and came out in the mid 80s as part of the soundtrack to the movie "Bright Lights, Big City"
Funked Up Music
Oh yeah!
I always though Gilmour’s solo in Another Brick In The Wall was inspired by the solo in FM
Very possible! Thanks Tim!
The guitar solo could have been a guitar hero solo . Instead he would pull back which gets major respect from me
TRUTH
STEELY DAN GOOD MUSIC >>>!!!!
You know it!
Gotta watch out for those internet lyrics...because there are mistakes. For example...the correct lyric is " funked up muzak", not "music". Muzak is an old term for what we call "elevator music". No static at all, was a staple call sign of early FM stereo radio, to differentiate it from monaural AM radio.
Makes sense! Thanks Michael!
STEELY DAN is not a rock band, it is a FUSION JAZZ or JAZZ FUSION band. You can thank the immortal MILES DAVIS for the genre. Miles caught hell for infusing rock into traditional Jazz when he released the album IN A SILENT WAY. Check it out. Thank you Miles Dewey Davis.
Smooth as a baby s bottom.
Here is trick..like CEREBRAL music generally..I know my sister here can ride the jazz train and likes to go the flight of music fantasy...most men like head music ..but women like the sub woofer..they love that thang that moves the hips and you see men say ''sub woofer''...but that is where the women are.but women don't care what's on..as long as it plays to dawn..Take the women to the club which is a fancy word for ''disco''..no membership so where is club..before you settle and get drinks they run like like little robots to the dance floor...I don't know what pathos they suffer from but there they go and they are lip syncing the words like they are on stage or televison ...It is bizarre,,,and when I was young in Australia men did not dance..until the slow last song when you might lasoo a filly to take home for a root..If some guy got on dancefloor like soultrain he would be knocked out in five minutes and sweeped away and the ladies continue..drink in hand on heart...Now the reason the man got knocked out is he is trying to lift requirements to get a root..Like a sailor sharpening his knife and shaving his face when shore leave came..he made the other men have to work harder to get laid..Now men are shaving their body from top to bottom..and women are waiting while they put their face on...what? Here is the cultural Australian trying to get a root. Rodney Rude- Life and times of allan alcock - Copy - RUclips

Thanks!
Come on babe (not you dude) loosen up.
THANK YOU TRY BEST OF FATTBURGER ALBUM
Seems like She has higher T-score than he does.
This is a out the girls not from radio if you get my drift. Lol
☺️
those were the days...just sayin':))
We bet!
I don't like listening to this song in the company of people who are not naked!!!!
LOL
Very tasty
