At 5:45 I let out a “yeah” which spreads a giggle around the band. love watching us come dangerously close to losing it then bring it back even tighter than before. 10/10 giggle recovery.
First off I think it fitted nicely in the recording. Second, as Josh end up saying; “well, I did have a lot of fun..” that really shines through in all of you and THAT dimension is what make your music not only good but great😊
I know we all appreciate the amount of talent in that room, but let's also acknowledge the amount of restraint of these musicians! They make the song shine, not themselves. This is what I LOVE about this channel.
For the same reason I LOVE Walter Becker. The man always knew how to show off his incredibly unique sound in a way that would sing with the choir more than some little shredder with a strat lol.
Seems faster than the original and I enjoy what seems like a faster pace Hogan’s vocals are just incredible on this cut also. Really shows off his talent. Josh seems to have same mindset of the great ones, no ego and who can match what we need to make a great song
But the whole point of Steely Dan is that the records kind of say it all. Live shows were never the point compared to some other bands ( The Who? Grateful Dead? ). And the band was two guys and a large group of revolving session men.
@@spindriftdrinker I deeply disagree, man. All session musicians they worked with were preetty good to say the least, even live... On many show recordings they give it something special too, with arrengements, solos, guests and even actual showmanship from Fagen and Becker... If I could I'd go see them still.
Frankly I wasn't so thrilled by the song as much as I was by the electrifying and astoundingly tight sound of the band: great to have Jim Hogan back, wonderful (and bewildering) to see Julia Chen joining this talented lot (the always composed Adam Neely, the Joshuas Lee, the McKees...). And, of course, the invisible camera woman who gives meaningful video time to each and everyone of them... A great august to all the musicians (and to everybody) in the whole world 😊.
@@JohnNathanShopper Yeah, I love that Steely Dan did gorgeously slick music with subversive lyrics. So many seedy characters and so many drug references. In some ways, I find SD to be more subversive than Black Sabbath or The Jefferson Airplane because normal people listened to SD instead of the freaky people who were into the wilder bands.
The lyric is "La roué steps out with no regrets", roué is French for "a debauched man", in this case, the narrator of the song who has comitted adultery (more specifically, the song is about the Profumo affair scandal). Great video guys ;)
Wow this is amazing. I bought Gaucho the day it came out in November of 1980…I was a senior in high school. I love this sound and lived in everyday. You guys did it justice beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks.
Incredible sound in a so tiny room. But so full of talents. Everyone here is on the top. Included Kelly at the video ! Not so simple to get a place, but one more time she was at the right place to give us a good view on the whole group. It seems that the backvocals affected a bit for Skylar... Very happy to see you all in a sacred version of this song. Very impressed by Jim voice. Bravo from France !
I have all of Steely Dan's released material, and I love the fact that the first time I hear this unreleased Steely Dan song is on a cover of it by Joshua Lee Turner and Friends. ❤
You accomplished with a home set up, what was done originally on thousand and thousands of dollars in equipment and studio. Proving that its all about the talent, and you guys have that
My god! All of these young musicians are so talented and beautiful. And they have their fingers on the pulse of the American zeitgeist that matters most to our hearts. Bravo!
I'm floored! This video has it all: a lost track by a legendary band, some technical tidbits for those so inclined, a stellar performance, TWO Josh-Lees, a superb ginger singer and sky(lar)-high backing vocals - I love it all! 😀
There's been rough bootlegs of this around for years, but you've all made a superb job of this and I'm sure this was how it was supposed to sound! Really well done!
"Oh, you know... just a couple of friends stopping by; we're gonna jam a little bit..." Holy cow! The sound you guys get out of that little apartment! Quite a testament to how far small-scale equipment and editing software has come in the last decade or so. (Can you imagine: if the Beatles had access to this technology in the 60's, or Tom Scholz in the 70's, etc.) And thanks so much for sharing this song with the world. I love Steely Dan, but have never heard of or about this song. A superb effort! More, please!
The whole time I was watching this, I was trying to figure out how there could be a Steely Dan song I had never heard before. Many thanks for explaining it near the end. Please feel free to do (many) more Steely Dan covers! Fantastic!!
Living in New York, cramming all musicians in your small apartment but having busloads of talented people who can come and play with you and your 9 microphone drum setup. Wonderful!
This is an incredible achievement. To do this - Steely Dan's studio sound - live in an apartment, tight, smooth, and impeccably mixed. You are all exceptional musicians, performers and producers. We are lucky to be able to witness this in our age.
This is unbelievable. I know Josh turned his tiny apartment into a kind of re-formed Abbey Road some years ago. But, gosh. Steely Dan. Am blown away by the precision, the musicality, the singing (lead and backing). It's just wonderful. Actually, it's way more than wonderful. It's a sort of miracle.
Always impressed by Josh and friends music. I think I’ve seen that lead singer in other videos of Josh’s and he has an amazing vocal range. Well done by all. 👍👍🇨🇦
I don't comment frequently, but I just had to in this instance. The fidelity achieved here is mind blowing to me. Despite not being a top pick for me from Steely catalog, I have re-listened several times for the mix of this alone.
From the jump, I was just waiting for them tasty taste backup harms... And they DELIVERED!!! killer work all around!! The tones and performances are on point. So fun to hear this tune un-warbly and reinterpreted!! My favorite unreleased Dan tune by far! All the ‼️❗❕❗‼️❕‼️‼️❗❕
So good!!! Real music, played and sung with excellence now withstanding a fit of the giggles! Pretty astounding to pull this so well in a cramped home studio, but Josh and his eminently musical friends have been astounding me on a regular basis for some time now.
OMG!!!! I have been listening to a restored version of this song on repeat for the last weeks and it's so good. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this video. Y'all killed it!! Kulee baba next?
Damn that was just perfect. Swift is handing out 100,000 to her truck drivers and I really hope you are all doing well financially. I don't begrudge anyone their success but I cry for the talent that isn't rewarded.
In these larger group performances in the apartment, I keep waiting for the sound of a cranky neighbor beating on the ceiling with a broom and yelling to "turn it down!" Amazing what you are able to accomplish in a small space!
That was really great. I am of the generation that grew up w/ Steely Dan (not to date myself tooooo much, but I WAS in my teens, which we all know generates the music of our lives) and this rendition was fun and honest, and the musicianship like usual was, superb.
Very nice job as always. For me however, seeing and hearing Skylar was the highlight. I’m desperate for anything with his voice and talent. Hoping he posts more songs someday but until then, finding him with you and Carson will suffice. His voice hits my soul deeply. Thx Josh, you’re a gift to the world.
Great pocket, great musicianship, great energy - kind of speechless! So cool to hear, what's for me, a new Steely Dan song. The 'roo steps out! 🦘 Sometimes invented lyrics are instantly legendary! 😂
So much fun, talents, pleasure, initiative, great video from Kelly, great vocals from Carson & Skylar McKee: love to see you more in these experiences!
Thank you, Kelly, for capturing and including the footage at 2:51. It makes me smile, good to see the often-serious (at least in their RUclips vids) Adam & Josh having a fun/cheesy moment!
Never have I been so proud of the few little shekels I send Josh every month. Steely Dan, *lost* Steely Dan. All these musicians who literally weren't born when Steely Dan disbanded, playing it like the originals. ❤
Thanks for the explanation. I’m a big Steely Dan fan and as I was listening to the song I wondered which album it was on because I didn’t remember it. It definitely had the Steely Dan sound and you guys did a fantastic job. I thought maybe my memory had gotten worse than I realized. Thank you!
It's so much fun to see this 40 year lost Steely Dan track getting so much new life blown into it lately by many new covers and remixes from the recovered tapes. Nice job guys (and lady!).
This was incredible! Josh, your mixing skills are blowing my mind man. Also, I really enjoyed the vlog side showing the setup. Killer video from both of you!
This song is available on streaming! bit.ly/second-arrangement-josh-turner

Haha, I didn't immediately relalize what caused that reaction. Whatever the source, enjoy whatever mirth you can find!
If music can't provoke genuine (and spontaneous) emotional responses, what good is it? I love seeing musicians genuinely enjoying making music.
Infectious 😂
wonderful, your face in that moment
I know we all appreciate the amount of talent in that room, but let's also acknowledge the amount of restraint of these musicians! They make the song shine, not themselves. This is what I LOVE about this channel.
Good point.
For the same reason I LOVE Walter Becker. The man always knew how to show off his incredibly unique sound in a way that would sing with the choir more than some little shredder with a strat lol.
So true, and yet you do have to put a big amount of yourself into the song to make it work. A paradox, no?
epic
Seems faster than the original and I enjoy what seems like a faster pace
Hogan’s vocals are just incredible on this cut also. Really shows off his talent.
Josh seems to have same mindset of the great ones, no ego and who can match what we need to make a great song
Adam Neely has such a nice deep pocket. Perfectly fit Steely Dan songs.
didnt recognise him wow
Adam Neeley legitimizes.
Not at all, the dude bring as much soul into the song as a wrench would
@@j1nsawesome 'soul-wrenching'?
@@j1nsawesome dude i dont know what are u talking about.. the bass is on point
To cover such a meticulously crafted, clean-ass studio song, equally as clean, LIVE in a room, is a huge achievement!
You made an old lady in the UK very happy. The one band I always wanted to see but never did. Fabulous work.
I know wb isn't available but df is touring steely Dan in uk next year i think.
But the whole point of Steely Dan is that the records kind of say it all. Live shows were never the point compared to some other bands ( The Who? Grateful Dead? ). And the band was two guys and a large group of revolving session men.

@@artbk When did I say that the session men weren't good? It seems that you just like to deeply disagree.
3:34 instantly blown away by how sick this sounds!! 😮 nice job!
Love that y'all recreated the infamous John Mayer/Kanye West handshake at 2:46; truly a meeting of powerful musical minds
Frankly I wasn't so thrilled by the song as much as I was by the electrifying and astoundingly tight sound of the band: great to have Jim Hogan back, wonderful (and bewildering) to see Julia Chen joining this talented lot (the always composed Adam Neely, the Joshuas Lee, the McKees...).

Allstars
I come for the musicianship. SD does nothing for me.
Listen a couple more times. It really grew on me.
YOU FINALLY DID A STEELY DAN SONG. Pleaseeeeeee do more I have so many suggestions.
This
"The Bear" Another lost SD classic or the effervescent "Glamour Profession."
@@Seacrestered Steely Dan is such a trip in that sense. Strangely dark lyrics juxtaposed with brilliant bright music.
Don’t Take Me Alive- greatest electric guitar intro of all time!

Profumo - the English politician - really?
On the Profumo scandal theory: Jesus. That guy is high. Not to mention pedantic.
Le roue’
Walter Becker always was so high brow
I love a good Adam Neely guest appearance
And what a great range of bass face 😮🎉❤
I've always felt Steely Dan is one of the toughest bands to cover. They had a unique sound, and their musicianship was at such a high level.
This group, everyone associated with Josh in all his videos, is talented, versatile, and enjoable. I ,eep searching for more.
Holy shit man this sounds so damn good. The level of production you guys are putting out from that small apartment is absolutely through the roof.
For real! Tiny untreated room with hardwood floors... and it still sounds awesome.
Nujabees
Wow this is amazing. I bought Gaucho the day it came out in November of 1980…I was a senior in high school. I love this sound and lived in everyday. You guys did it justice beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks.

Is Kelly Josh's wife?
@@LindaCasey Yes
@@AbigailPoirier Thanks
You pay golden tribute to Steely Dan by playing its lost song with such virtuoso talent! 🙌🏼
I have all of Steely Dan's released material, and I love the fact that the first time I hear this unreleased Steely Dan song is on a cover of it by Joshua Lee Turner and Friends. ❤
Excellent, love the Steely backing vocals they just complete the vibe. More Steely Dan please, all the best N&J🎸
It’s a Steely Dan cover AND you’re collabing with some of the coolest people on the internet??? I can’t, this is way too awesome!
From a banjo in a bug to Steely Dan in one week and yet both are great. You never disappoint.
You accomplished with a home set up, what was done originally on thousand and thousands of dollars in equipment and studio. Proving that its all about the talent, and you guys have that
My god! All of these young musicians are so talented and beautiful. And they have their fingers on the pulse of the American zeitgeist that matters most to our hearts. Bravo!
I'm floored! This video has it all: a lost track by a legendary band, some technical tidbits for those so inclined, a stellar performance, TWO Josh-Lees, a superb ginger singer and sky(lar)-high backing vocals - I love it all! 😀
This song would have fit perfectly on Gaucho! So glad to finally hear it, and with such incredible performances and production values.
See also link above. Compare and contrast!
From a major dude Dan fan . . you guys killed it!!! As usual. Josh Turner does Steely Dan . . my combo made in music heaven. Thank you!!
Possibly the lyric is "the roué steps out". Roué = a man devoted to a life of sensual pleasure; a libertine.
Josh Turner and Adam Neely working together. My music RUclips loving heart is so full right now!
A+ choreography
I need to see more of this group. You all compliment each other beautifully
Yep, they complement each other quite well too.... :)
There's been rough bootlegs of this around for years, but you've all made a superb job of this and I'm sure this was how it was supposed to sound! Really well done!
Truly Brilliant - I'm literally just sat here watching this again and again. Such class from everyone in that room.
"Oh, you know... just a couple of friends stopping by; we're gonna jam a little bit..." Holy cow! The sound you guys get out of that little apartment!

Outstanding wow Donald is proud super sound, it looks like everybody is having a great time
Huge Steely Dan fan you folks did it Right!!!
Man thats brave covering the Dan, y’all sounded awesome 🎸🌟
Perfectly performed! Fantastic listening to Steely Dan again.
Superb! Thank you, everyone. If I'd just heard this, and not seen you all playing, and you'd told me it was Steely Dan, I would have believed you.
Living in New York, cramming all musicians in your small apartment but having busloads of talented people who can come and play with you and your 9 microphone drum setup. Wonderful!
From a life long Steely Dan fan: Absolutely fantastic job!

Adam Neely showing up was such a delightful moment.
Never this this Steely Dan song, but because of this performance, it’s my new favorite. Thank you.
What a pearl! Shame it didn’t end up on the album, but I’ll have the Lee’s on repeat!
The return of Neely Turner Overdrive! Love it!
The amount of talent and musicality on this channel is breathtaking. You guys have outdone yourselves!
wow WoW WOW! Sounds amazing, ya’ll, thank you for recording this great “lost” song ♥️
Damn that was just perfect. Swift is handing out 100,000 to her truck drivers and I really hope you are all doing well financially. I don't begrudge anyone their success but I cry for the talent that isn't rewarded.
A Steely Dan tribute band!!! I would definitely buy a ticket to hear you!
I dig how there is some casual intro stuff before the performance. Reminds me of Live From Daryl’s House.
In these larger group performances in the apartment, I keep waiting for the sound of a cranky neighbor beating on the ceiling with a broom and yelling to "turn it down!" Amazing what you are able to accomplish in a small space!
That was really great. I am of the generation that grew up w/ Steely Dan (not to date myself tooooo much, but I WAS in my teens, which we all know generates the music of our lives) and this rendition was fun and honest, and the musicianship like usual was, superb.
It takes some balls to to take on a Steely Dan track live. But you guys killed it! Well done.
It's great to see and listen to all these talented boys and girls. You are great!
Very nice job as always. For me however, seeing and hearing Skylar was the highlight. I’m desperate for anything with his voice and talent. Hoping he posts more songs someday but until then, finding him with you and Carson will suffice. His voice hits my soul deeply. Thx Josh, you’re a gift to the world.
Very cool throughout. Always good to hear Jim Hogan sing.
yes, love Jim's vocals.
Great pocket, great musicianship, great energy - kind of speechless! So cool to hear, what's for me, a new Steely Dan song. The 'roo steps out! 🦘 Sometimes invented lyrics are instantly legendary! 😂
Josh…this is infectious. Just a groovy perfect jam. I cannot stop listening. Thank you for bringing this song to life!
So much fun, talents, pleasure, initiative, great video from Kelly, great vocals from Carson & Skylar McKee: love to see you more in these experiences!
Always in awe of the music you all put out into the world!! This was sensational. The drum set sounded incredibleeee. All the mics paid off for sure.
Great to see you all smiling and enjoying such cool music.
COME ON YA'LL !!!!! insanity
That is an impressive sound out of 13 channels in your apartment! Having such talented friends surely helps, but still, respect for the production!
I love it! You've all captured the essence of the song beautifully!
YESSSSS FINALLY A STEELY DAN SONG AND ONE OF THE BEST
Such a difficult song - instruments and vocals alike. You guys did an amazing job. Loved the giggles too
Crazy that a lost Steely Dan tune has gotten such attention.
And honestly, it’s now my second fav SD song after Pretzel
Thank you, Kelly, for capturing and including the footage at 2:51. It makes me smile, good to see the often-serious (at least in their RUclips vids) Adam & Josh having a fun/cheesy moment!
This is the best cover so far.
Never have I been so proud of the few little shekels I send Josh every month. Steely Dan, *lost* Steely Dan.
All these musicians who literally weren't born when Steely Dan disbanded, playing it like the originals. ❤
I know you put extra effort into the mic setup for this, but major props on the mix also! Listening with good headphones on is a delight.
This sounds so good .Great lost but now found song by Steely Dan.
Oh, and WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO THIS IS!!!! 😁👍🎉💚. LOVE STEELY DAN. You guys nailed it. Made my day
Steely Dan AND Adam Neely, instant click!
Oh to be one of his neighbors! I’d be dropping off baked goods (& kitty treats) all the time in appreciation!
Steely Dan is way underrated.
Sounded great! You guys have the talent to keep up with the awesome talent of Steely Dan so please do more
This was a blast
Thanks for the explanation. I’m a big Steely Dan fan and as I was listening to the song I wondered which album it was on because I didn’t remember it. It definitely had the Steely Dan sound and you guys did a fantastic job. I thought maybe my memory had gotten worse than I realized. Thank you!
Loved all 11:32 of this. Fridays with a new Josh Turner Guitar video are always just a little bit better than Fridays already are.
It's so much fun to see this 40 year lost Steely Dan track getting so much new life blown into it lately by many new covers and remixes from the recovered tapes. Nice job guys (and lady!).
the drums are mixed amazing in this track
I love this cover... It's TOO GOOD. The vibe that came off this song was just incredible.
I am such a HUGE fan of this. Amazing, incredible work everyone. I will be non stop streaming this for the next several months.
What a killer track. With the great Adam Neely on bass.
Listening to this is meeting an adored old friend...that you'd never met before... amazing..thanks..
This was incredible! Josh, your mixing skills are blowing my mind man. Also, I really enjoyed the vlog side showing the setup. Killer video from both of you!
Glorious~ Superb~ Thank you for this gorgeous sonic sculpture💗
Holy shit, that's Adam Neely on bass! Man, you guys are so in the pocket. Awesome playing and singing by everyone!
I love the surprise Brothers McKee. 😂
This is GOLD! Thanks Josh and company!
