- Greetings fellow Dan fans !
We are back with another rarity. This time we present to you one of, if not THE highest quality version of the unreleased Gaucho song 'Talking bout my home,' recreated by Michael Caplin.
As for regular uploads, we are both currently quite busy with studies and other things so we still try to get a video out from time to time. One upload I've been pondering on for quite some time is a collection of almost all unreleased Steely Dan songs (those we have access to). Until then, enjoy our other content and take care!
Donald Fagen - Vocals
Michael Caplin - Keyboard, Guitar, Drums
enjoy :)

How did the Gaucho sessions produce literally a whole new album full of outtakes/unreleased tracks that are all some of the Dan’s best tunes?? Fagen needs to compile these into an album and release them!
Fitting the first song of the Album was Babylon Sisters, The Tower of Babylon being mankind’s attempt at reaching God’s domain, God in turn creating language division to divide humanity, trade out language division for record label demands and accidental tape deletion and hard drug use
@@hdofu You're confusing two different concepts - The Tower of Babel and Babylon.
@@BothFeetInPodcast where was the tower located?
@@hdofu I appreciate you trying to save your fumble, but it's always been called the Tower of Babel.
@@BothFeetInPodcast Babel = Babylon = Babîl
Without doubt, Donald Fagan writes the greatest chord progressions. Great song. Pure Steely Dan.
The Dan was known for loving their Soundcloud covers
I’ve listened to this 10 times already and I’m still not done with it
With Steely Dan and Donald Fagen stuff I require at least 50 times.
Superb job. Gaucho really should have been a double album! Talkin'; Bout My Home, Kulee Bama, 2nd Arrangement, The Bear, Can't Write home About You, the elusive Heartbreak Souvenir, Standing by the Seawall (Aja leftover).
Thank you very much! Glad to hear it.
Originally this was called 'Megashine City' ; it had slightly different lyrics and was written in late 1972 / early 1973 to serve as a live vehicle for original SD lead singer David Palmer. This is closer to the original tempo, the 1979 demo thatt serves as basis for this version are -and that came out w/ 'The Lost Gaucho' outtakes has half time drums. Here the arrangement and groove get a 'Time Out Of Mind' - like feel. Nice job, Michael Caplin, very fine, stylistically on point arrangement, great lead guitar parts....
PS: i reckon these outtakes get 'leaked' by personnel involved, either engineers or musicians who had either copies or maybe access to original 2 Inch tape?
And i also reckon Donald is fully aware they circulate and does not mind. I feel his attitude is 'fair enough let them hear it and realizes as to 'why' we never included them in official releases..' But this here is such a great song, I wonder if The Don would ever consider (and perhaps concede?) that at the end of the day, even on their most 'non approved' , 'reject' songs, him and Walt still wrote some darn good tunes, far and away above the vast majority of their contemporaries...
Insanely good. As far as i'm concerned this is now Steely Dan cannon. Best version out there mate.
Wonderful job! Guitar work is good enough for use on Gaucho way back when.
OMG! Dude, you've nailed just about EVERY pertinent detail around what a fully finished version of this would've sounded like in 1979, right down to the bass and drum sound. Beautiful!
Now just needs real horns instead of samples
Get this to Jive Miguel for the real horns maybe? @@pascalkempa8005
That's gotta be Walter on lead guitar.. the phrasing sounds like him. Thank you for this.
Read the caption notes: Fagan is the only Dan man on this track, with the rest being recreated.
@@MrCherryJuice yes i know, i didn't go back and edit the comment cause i have children scheming and running wild.
@@MrCherryJuice That's pretty mind blowing to me. All recreated except the basics? I'm not sure how that's made possible, but it's insanely good. Hats off to Michael Caplin (that's who's credited with the other instruments) and the recreation. It's all over my head, but sounds very sweet in my ears.
@@MrCherryJuiceWishful thinking for all of us. Always wished Becker was featured more often.
Not Walter. Michael Caplin played the overdubs, but yeah he was able to replicate Walter's lead style in a very authentic, convincing way
Great attempt at dragging a lost classic back to reality, keyboards, bassline and guitar work all tasty. Very "Wendel" drums too. Perfect.
This is beautifully done. Thank you!
Caplin is a straight up genius.
Fantastic. Being added to my new Steely Dan Album playlist. Michael with some incredibly tasty licks.
God I love this stuff, and who knows- miracles can happen (as we have recently seen) and maybe we'll one day discover a lost recorded version of "Wet Side Story" as well.
Listening to this fills my eyes with tears of joy. I love it so much! Thank you!
This is amazing, such a great beat and vibe.
my favorite type of backbeat, so typical Steely Dan.
Sounds like a Kamakiriad castoff.
The absolute perfect drums, everything sparkling perfect.
Get the Naloxone cause I'm gonna overdose on this ear candy. Add some backing singers and you have a new Dan single! Fantastic job!
Wow... I've been waiting for someone to administer a little Narcan to a SD comment thread.
This is SCARY good.
I am a real fan of Michael’s Steely Dan projects, and very grateful for the time he devotes to them. It is clear that his attention to detail is very much in the Walter F spirit. Do you know if there is a WAV/FLAC version please?
I wonder if this turned into "Time out of Mind." It has the same kinds of piano stabs.
This sounds like Fagen’s New Frontier tbh
Amazing to hear this one in a form that can Match it’s Megashine City counterpart.
Wow ! First time hearing this, what a great job and thank you.
"Put a dollar in the kitty" Gtr sounds like Water Beakers phrasing!
It sounds like Water Musik to me too. Someone knows for sure, however.
I'm only messing,sorry!Sounds like the same groove as time out of mind,only slightly faster.I'm a Dan respecter!!
It does indeed have a groove/tempo and feel reminiscent of 'Time Out Of Mind'.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Great job; especially the acoustic piano comping (one of the drawbacks of Gaucho compared to previous LPs was the relative absence of acoustic piano; Fagen said they rented a Steinway and “got a lemon!”)
Interesting! Do you remember where he said that?
What are you talking about? The title track itself is driven by a grand piano foundation...and the instrumental demo version of it really demonstrates this point.....all piano.
@@nickgodalin6487 I mean he did say relative absence lol, besides gaucho and the piano solo on glamour profession its pretty much epiano
Thanks for a really good version. Good luck with the studies!
Thank you for your kind words :) Good to hear you’re enjoying our latest goodie !
I so agree with the person below. For me, this is the strangest song in the entire Dan catalogue. Brite Nightgown was about Death, but this song is about someone who just died and is experiencing a home-coming. It's actually one of their most optimistic (if I read it right) songs.
Sooooo... thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job with such an obscure and mysterious number by the one and only Steely Dan.
Great job! It has a Kulee Baba sound to me, another lost great one.
much like this one, it has been found in much the same way.
There’s no Dan like your Dan. It’s staggeringly cool. Congrats, buddy!
Incredible! Studio quality from a Lost Gaucho!?
Its a recreation, looks very fine
We've been blessed with 3 such tracks lately, also Kulee Baba and The Second Arrangement. It's unreal ....
This is amazing! Great job!!! Love it!
Great tune. Donald really should consider compiling the "Complete Gaucho". Add other tracks like this one and Second Arrangement and the other 2 or 3 tracks that exist from what I read.
Wonderful , can't wait til the next 😂🥰😘👍
Thank you.
I love hearing alternate interpretations of the same song, but the Megashine City version feels infinitely better to me. I'm surprised they tried to turn that song in a yacht rock song, but it really does fit better in the CBAT era and could've been on that original album imo
Beats all the gash music out there right now, different standards 🤩
Love this stuff. Please keep it coming.
Love it! I knew I would! ❤️
wonderful!
so good thanks for making this dude
Excellent!! Thank you
Dude. You are Mr Nichols reincarnated. 😊
This sounds like it’s straight off Gaucho or Katy Lied… unbelievable. Get this guy on Kulee Baba stat!!
One of these days Donald may release an album of these “B” side tracks. Hopefully, he’ll see the response that we “danheads” give in the way of numbers. These are all good tracks and we can pick out the solos that Walter played. Those put a smile on my face. If they can re-release vinyl albums of a higher quality, then why not release an album of gems(not mounted).
..that’s some pretty tasty guitar work..sounds like Walter
This is awesome man, keep it up!
I LOVE IT!
This is better than some of the final tracks on the album
Snappy version. I like it
I always kind of interpreted the feel as similar to the bear or third world man. Slower. Half tempo. Great job though, guys.
Yes, half time. This sounds wrong.
Woah 👌🏾🔥🔥
Brilliant. Does sound like a newly recorded backing track over the vocals... is that right? or a remaster for an unreleased demo? As a song, doesn't sound as punchy or emotive as other demos.
Nice
Huh! I always felt the drums would be in half time for this song, based on the demo tape. But this has more of a time out of mind vibe...
You know you took the words right out of my mouth..... first.
Fun to listen at 1.25 speed.
I would suggest you widen the stereo
Sounds great! Any idea of personnel?
Donald Fagen - Vocals
Michael Caplin - Keyboard, Guitar, Drums
@@TheDanVault oh i didn't read it was a recreation lol. I think you clarified after I listened the first time.
You're holding the notes on the synth accompaniment too long. SD parts typically aren't going from one measure into the next. No footballs.
Now if you can just do this with Second Arrangement.......😁

Thanks for this. I don't like the original from the 1972 era. Just lacks personality because they didn't have one yet. But this tells the story of what they became. I'm not sure how much "recreation" is involved (?), but it's beautifully done. Is it remastered or recreated? I only ask because it sounds good enough to just be very well remastered. Whatever the case, this was a mighty fine late discovery for me because I'd only heard the original Megashine City demo. This is surely destined to get a lot of views. I'm a huge fan, but not one who truly understands their music at the highest level & can wax eloquent about it. Thank you for sharing this. It's divine to my ears.
Sorry, beat needs to be halftime.

Who's on lead guitar?
Samuel Pepys
@TheDanVault the English diarist and Naval administrator ? Wow a truly multi tented dude. No wonder he had so many affairs in his lifetime. The Santana of the Stuart dynasty.
@@lopedeaguirre1 correction: Michael Caplin
Seems like Walter is on lead guitar, with Roger Nichols' Wendel drum machine and Donald doing the rest. Decent enough demo but rhythmically a bit similar to Time out of Mind to make the cut. Indeed could it be an early version of that song?
this is just a really high quality recreation with Fagen's vocals on top, not a lost studio take
Very cool! Is this Michael Caplin?
Samuel Pepys
Yes, it is!
@@TheDanVault Also known as Michael Caplin when not engaging in nefarious activities on the web
@@michaelcaplin8969 thanks for the clarification
@@michaelcaplin8969 Impressive work, sorry to dox ya :)
At least the drums weren't done by (the drum machine) Wendel.
I hear a little bit of David Bowie in here. Anyone else
Everything is good, except for those monotonous drums.
