Just heads up...Most of Steely Dan's song were written/produced by Becker & Fagen. It also helps when your studio musicians were some of the Top Dogs in the business!
You're speaking highly of my favorite band. They had such a distinctive sound that is just as catchy today as when I was a young pup. With that being said I have to go for a walky.
You've obviously got a good ear for good music, and without prejudice towards age of the music or fashion. If it sounds good, it's good. I know I'm an old codger at 61, but please do your best to educate younger people like yourself. There's a treasure trove out there and even I haven't heard it all yet.
Steely Dan' is infamous for being engineering sticklers- they would do 30 or 40 takes with top session players to get just the right sound for different instruments and then take days to mix the final recording
@@misterbonzoid5623 got to keep it going another band hit can knock you down the charts, need the next hit to send up the charts . So bring your A game. Spend money to make money
I was a kid back in their heyday & liked them OK at the time, but didn't "get" them. My dad was a huge fan and had all their albums and wore them out. 😆 Now that I'm old I really appreciate them, and not just for nostalgic reasons.
Donald Fagen and Walter Becker are Steely Dan, just guys. Everyone else are hired session musicians. Steely Dan were perfectionists, especially Donald, in the studio.
I never really appreciated the lyrics to this song until I was around 30. Those lyrics are so real.... at age 52....they are me! I'm just thankful that another young person gets the message in time! Keep doing what you do. This old white guy on the East Coast loves the hell out of you.
One of the best bands ever. Basically 2 jazz musicians that could write pop songs.Their mix and engineering is impeccable. They always used session players that could give them exactly what they wanted.
I'm a 64 year old Navy Submarine Veteran that grew up with this music, to watch you immerse yourself in this music gives me hope in our young American youth
The musicianship and compositional skills of so many of the bands from this era are so tight. And yet they all have this ease to them. I grew up in the midwest, listening to this stuff. Really set the flavor of the times back then. I moved to L.A. 20 years ago, and so have some feeling for what the culture of your young years were like. Such a different world. Just fascinating and cool. Seeing you connect to that then and there in this, your here and now, is reassuring somehow. Thanks. Keep on keepin' on.
That guitar solo is so iconic and so memorable that even though I was like 9 when I first heard it, now at 57 I can pick up my guitar and play it flawlessness! Genius solo
@ScribeCash Enjoying you enjoying Steely Dan. I'd like to point out that both this track and Do It Again are from the same album (Can't buy A Thrill) which is the debut album from Steely Dan. They set a really high bar with this album and maintained or exceeded that standard with the albums that followed. Pick any of their albums, any track and you'll find gold.
You do this great music justice..you should check out the seminal live album "Strangers in the Night" by the great rockers UFO. You'll find many great tunes there you will appreciate
That's the legendary Elliot Randall on guitar here for the studio version. When the band played live, the guitar parts were taken over by Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and Denny Dias...
Awwwe Man... Steely Dan. This old tune takes me back to those days in my Sophomore year. " Riki Dont Lose That Number." And " Dont Take Me Alive." Are also great tunes. Steely Dan was more of a studio band and rarely toured. They have so many great tunes Its almost impossible to say which one is their best. On the other hand " Babylon Sister's." Is another, more lay back kinda tune. These guys were so versatile and ohhh so talented, their music was considered the gold standard of 70s lite rock.
Please check out “kid charlemagne “ by steely dan . Great song that you have probably heard other songs that were sampled from it . Thanks , love your reaction videos😀
I have always loved Steely Dan. I've seen them in concert many times through the years. I loved your reaction to this track. It's one of my favorites by them. They would kill this track live. I just wanted to suggest some artists for you to checkout and hopefully react to. STING - BE STILL MY BEATING HEART" DANGER MOUSE, DANIELE LUPPI (FT. NORAH JONES) - "SEASON'S TREES" TEARS FOR FEARS - "ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART" JOURNEY - "THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT" TOTO - "GEORGY PORGY" GEORGE MICHAEL & MARY J. BLIGE - "AS" HOLE - "MALIBU" I look forward to seeing if you give these artists and tracks a chance. I look forward to seeing your reaction to some or all of them I'm sure it will be something. Continued success.
“ Do it Again” and “FM” will get you.Perfect voices and instruments.Hard to believe this album is almost 50 years old.I appreciate your reactions so much.
Love how you can endure guitar solos and this song has some of the greatest. I understand they may be hard to appreciate if they're not your thing (as they are mine!). Great reaction and congrats on the new album!
For someone coming from an R&B perspective, there's a lot to catch on to with Steely Dan, and easier to appreciate, as they have big jazz and R&B elements in their music.
Hi “Scribe” you really should do Brooklyn by Steely Dan You are so beautiful btw i would love to have a listening party with you i really got into steely dan in 1989 especially this album just seeing your youthful enthusiasm lights me up thanks so much for doing this
Awesome Scribe🌷《☆》Jimmy Page of LedZepplin listed this song as having one of his favorite guitar solos😎I believe this was played by Skunk Baxter & Denny Diaz live. Not sure who did this studio guitars :*: Greetings from⛾Florida🤳my friend🤓🗣🔊☮✌👍🏾
I would still love to see you react to The Devil Went Down To Georgia - The Charlie Daniels Band. You reacted to Crypt's cover, you need to check out the original.
May I humble suggest you do the hits off all steely dans 70s and 1980 gaucho album. You will be at 60k by time you finish I predict! They have 20 or so hits.maybe 30! And they are all cutting edge production. They were gold standard in the day. Sub'd. ❤
Steely Dan is unique and iconic...a true original! This is very early Steely Dan. Definitely check out Deacon Blues or Josie from their Aja album from the late 70s!!!
Believe it or not you never knew what these guys looked like because they never put their faces on their albums. Fegan once said in an interview he thought they were to ugly.
If you never heard this one before Check the storyline on this (it'll blow yer mind)... ruclips.net/video/OAfxs0IDeMs/видео.html Heart - All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You (Official Music Video) It's a trip...

There’s 50 Steely Dan songs you could react to and like. They are that prolific.
They were the top jazz rock fusion group of the 70s and 80s
@@actuariallurker9650 Can I ask you something?
You're speaking highly of my favorite band. They had such a distinctive sound that is just as catchy today as when I was a young pup. With that being said I have to go for a walky.
Every song is amazing. I especially like Hey 19 and FM No Static and Peg.

Miss these freakin reactions ! One of best.
steely dan is responsible for some off finest solos in rock history...

Studio time wasn't as expensive as now, unless you use computer
@@albertagibinik3436Do you think studio time cost would've been a consideration for Becker and Fagen?
@@misterbonzoid5623 got to keep it going another band hit can knock you down the charts, need the next hit to send up the charts . So bring your A game. Spend money to make money
Not with Elliot ;)
Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Journey were as well.
People like their music and others don’t but almost everyone can agree that their music was the best produced and engineered music in maybe forever. 🔥
I was a kid back in their heyday & liked them OK at the time, but didn't "get" them. My dad was a huge fan and had all their albums and wore them out. 😆 Now that I'm old I really appreciate them, and not just for nostalgic reasons.
This song is one of the best ever simple as that
@@pamela4236 I liked them when I was young haha
Ur editor is really good always starts at the right time when you pause
Killer guitar solo.
A favorite of Jimmy Page. There's so much energy going on in it.
Donald Fagen and Walter Becker are Steely Dan, just guys. Everyone else are hired session musicians. Steely Dan were perfectionists, especially Donald, in the studio.
Damn, I'd completely forgotten how much I thoroughly enjoyed this song!

I'm an old rocker, but I really like the jazzy sound of this band.
I've liked Steely Dan since I was 15 lol and wasn't wasn't born when they were a thing. I like lots of styles though jazz rock funk etc
This just showed up in my feed. Subscribed, liked, & notified. You have a great voice.

give a listen to Steely Dan's song "FM (no static at all)" when you get a chance to...... gotta solid feeling you'll love that one young lady ;)
Good music is timeless. Glad to see the next gen liking it so much. Enjoy your videos.

A song that gives a singer the urge to sing? Heck yeah, you know Steely Dan is that good. Do "Josie" or "My Old School", you won't be sorry.
Love your intestinal fortitude.
Your favourite band’s favourite band.
Love how you can endure guitar solos and this song has some of the greatest. I understand they may be hard to appreciate if they're not your thing (as they are mine!). Great reaction and congrats on the new album!
MikeGlo If people can endure Pink Floyd, they can endure anything. Psychedelic rock was not my thing until my late teens.
If you wanna listen to a fast up best jam by steely dan listen to Bodhisattva.
Killer guitar by Denny Diez!
I have tickets to see Steely Dan June 8 of 2021, if it happens. One of the greatest, most original bands ever.
"Bodhisattva," off their next album (Countdown to Ecstacy), would be a great one to react to.
For someone coming from an R&B perspective, there's a lot to catch on to with Steely Dan, and easier to appreciate, as they have big jazz and R&B elements in their music.
Great reaction! I forgot how good this song is!
I love your channel!!
You just can't go wrong with Steely Dan.
😊✌
I love how you react to the coolest music
Elliot Randall does the amazing guitar performance.
I think she rather enjoyed that.

That particular incendiary cat gut torturing human was none other than Elliott Randall.
"West of Hollywood" by Steely Dan. It has an extended sax solo that’s out of this world. Check that out. Thanks.
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me!
I would still love to see you react to The Devil Went Down To Georgia - The Charlie Daniels Band. You reacted to Crypt's cover, you need to check out the original.

So I guess I'm going to have to subscribe to you tonight good job
They are the masters of the groove hook
React to Steely Dan: Bodhisattva!
man o man. Take me back lord.
Another great tune 😎👍🏻
remember walking the boardwalk with my girl listening to this song
I’d suggest Josie, Peg, or FM to continue your dive into the Dan.
First to the reaction 😀👍
Love love the tank top🤠
underrated remark :)
Believe it or not you never knew what these guys looked like because they never put their faces on their albums. Fegan once said in an interview he thought they were to ugly.
...and that’s how its done!
Led Zeppelin i cant quit you baby official video
Dirty Work and No Static (FM) would be two good ones to react to by them.
Steely dan is an island you can escape to.
Hi what software do you use for your you tube videos is it windows based or Mac, and where can I get it?
They were the same sound live not just studio group
Think youd love King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Sense, theyre a real quirky band
Shake it up with “Babylon Sisters”
May I suggest "Fire in the Hole" from the same album, Can't Buy A Thrill.
