Peter Northcote's lead guitar here is such a perfect tribute to Steely Dan guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter's original performance, and the vocal outro is perfection.
@@BarryLeef My wife and I were so lucky to see their "Pretzel Logic" tour when it stopped at the University of Toledo, Ohio on Sunday April 21, 1974. We drove 90 miles home that night with no idea that Steely Dan wouldn't tour again until August of 1993.
Wonderful. Usually i listen to Steely Dan covers to hear how bad people butcher them, but that was fantastic! MORE than acceptable, that was brilliant. And all without anyone on keys!
Again another great video. I warms my heart to see older gentleman still playing together. I played for 50+ years in bands with mostly the same people until our brilliant lead guitar player died of brain cancer. We still gather and play acoustic now and again just to keep the memory alive.
Barry, Peter, Victor, Billy, Gentlemen... Thank You !!! It's a joy and a privilege to hear and see you at work ! Every performance you do makes people all over the world just that bit happier !
@@BarryLeef. My privilege Barry to praise you all where praise is due. Hopefully you guys make it to Brisbane / SE Qld one day for a live show. Kathy & I will be front row centre !!!
@@BarryLeef Maybe give this one a spin sometime: my all-time favorite Buffett song. ruclips.net/video/Qwx-MlbAyJ0/видео.html&ab_channel=JimmyBuffett-Topic
This really is a fantastic cover guys. The groove, tempo, rhythm, harmonies, and guitar solo are truly excellent. I almost feel bad for criticizing anything, but the lead vocal, while he's great, dead in-tune, and a very good singer, I think has too much of a country voice for this.
wow - just, WOW! 1st time here. I think that like a lot of 1st time listeners, I clicked the start button and waited for the first excuse to push me to the next clip. You all sounded so good(!) that I kept listening. Then I told myself: "well, let's wait until Skunk Baxter's solo, and that should be it..." Well, you guys nailed that too; in fact, you nailed the whole song. So instead of clicking another youtube clip, I hit 'Subscribe'.
Well done Men, being almost 66, that song brings back some good memories of younger days. Keep pumping out them great tunes when talent was obvious in the instrumentals, lyrics, and vocals. You guys have it all, keep up the good work.👍👍
Awesome - just like always! Great work on an absolutely classic tune! Great arrangement again on a big sound with just four pieces. More Steely Dan, please! Thanks! God Bless you guys!
Damn fine performance Barry and the fellas , Pete is such an amazing guitarist he really puts his heart and soul into his playing absolutely superb really enjoyed it thanks guys 👌👍
That was a fantastic version. The lead guitar was absolutely superb.
Thank you Alan, we agree with you !
The comments above and below represent a cross section of listeners from all over the world who love this group. Bravo!
No piano, just the lead guitarist that drive our mood right into the song, bravo.
Yep Riazor, Pete does it again !
This whole band is very good but the lead guitarist is freakin' amazing!
The lead work here is flawless
Love it. Steely Dan will always be a part of my life. I'm 61, so I've experienced the greatest decades of music. IMO.
Totally agree Mr Wallace !
Guitarist Peter Northcote is always on fire! A master musician.

Hi David, love it that you still hold dear those times !
Spot on!
Thank you PDG !

Hello Cowsongs, thank you, your criticism is fine with me, in fact in terms of interpretation, my inspiration and all-time favourite is B J Thomas.
