    I'm a little sad that Walter has left us too soon, but mostly I'm thankful for the great music he made while he was here. His music continues to make my life more enjoyable. If there's an afterlife, I hope I can meet him over there.

    These are the days that you dread... I was fortunate enough to see them in 14 and 16 thinking that this fall would be my last time because of their ages...

    Steely Dan is and always has been my most favorite music ever in the whole wide world. The end of an era Since high school at 16 or 17 and I'm 59 now. Their so smooth jazzy, blues, etc. They're music was perfection. Pure beauty to my ears. Walter Becker was 1/2 of this musical royalty. Your music will forever live on and reign as the greatest ever. RIP Mr. WALTER BECKER. God bless and keep you. Forever in my heart ❤.

    I was 12 whenI first heard Peg on the radio, and it was sublime. I wore the grooves out of their records ever since. They are a major part of the soundtrack of my life that I turn to often. My heart is broken. RIP Walter, and thank you so much.

    @juanitashaffer1302 7 лет назад +4

    I am heartbroken. I discovered Steely Dan My junior yr of high school and worshipped them since. Never in my adult life have I not felt their music was the soundtrack of my life. So glad I got to see Steely Dan live back in the day. Play on Walter...thank you and RIP😔😢✌

      @keesbrakenhoff9295 7 лет назад

      Kees Brakenhoff. So am I. When I first heard Do it Again I knew this was MY music and that feeling has remained ever since. Was dumbfounded when I heard the news on tv last night and later cursed and cried. A bit embarrased to say this. Your reaction and that of so many others make me feel like being part of a big family that all share the same loss. So thank you for you for that.

    having been an avid Steely Dan fan, I was always impresses by the fact that Walter was an accomplished guitarist yet they would bring in an incredible roster of guitarists to also contribute to the final production of what they wanted the final music to be. A true artist.

    So glad I got to see SD during their reunion tour in 1993. I remember Walter even sung a song, which was really surprising! The audience was speechless, but I stood up and cheered really loudly for Walter, he was like 'Thank you.' It was really cool! Rest In Peace, Walter.

    Walter Becker - 1950-2017
    I first heard Steely Dan in 1972 when they played Reelin' in the years on the radio .... Such was the effect, I had to stop what I was doing and listen ... it knocked me out .. and when Johnny Walker said it was Steely Dan ..... all I could say was who the fuck are Steely Dan?, I immediately went out and purchased "Can't buy a thrill" and learned very quickly that these guys were not one trick rock n roll hicksters but very clever composers of music and lyrical geniuses.
    Since that day they became my favourite band and their music became the soundtrack to my life ... In 73 (or maybe 74) I had a ticket to see "The Dan" (as I, along with others in the know had started calling them) it was to be at the Hippodrome ... I went with fellow "Danster" mate Barry Kennedy ... Only to find Donald Fagan had laryngitis and the gig was cancelled .... I then had a 25 year wait before they played their next gig in the UK ... it was worth the wait.
    Walter Becker and Donald Fagan have thrilled me through the years with their brilliant compositions featuring the best rock and Jazz session musicians in the universe .. People like, Steve Gadd, Larry Carlton, Michael Brecker, Victor Feldman, Rick Derringer, Michael Omartian, Jay Graydon, Chuck Rainey, Tom Scott, Wayne Shorter .... and not forgetting their old mate on backing vocals and harmonies Michael McDonald.
    Their music sounds as fresh today as it did when they started out ... and as well as owning all their albums on vinyl and CD, they now feature heavily in my current Spotify download collection.
    I embrace all genres of music but The Dan have a special place in my heart.
    Walter ... your music and special cynically, delicious sense of humour will be greatly missed ... I'm sure your already up there arranging an impromptu version of Deacon Blues, with Miles on trumpet, Hendrix on Guitar, Bird on sax and Jeff Porcaro on drums ..
    If you've ever seen a squonks tears, then look at mine" ....
    Walter Becker - one half of Steely Dan ....RIP

Thank you Walter for your music, your inspiration and the wonderful memories. Goodbye my friend.

    i never did this before but i am sitting here sick to my as i feel a piece of my life has been taken away. These are the things i find hard to accept about life.I know all the history being a New Yorker and i followed the Dan from beginning until now. I first saw them at Avery Fisher Hall with ELO,when Donald stopped the music and told the sound crew that they wouldn´t continue unless they got it together! Seeing them numerous times, meeting them on the Letterman show with my arm around Roger Nichols,and being a musician,i am sad very sad. I thank you Dear Walter for your wonderful music that made my life worth living and no one will ever take your place. I just wish you didn't leave so soon. R.I.P.
