By far the most underrated Dan song in their entire catalog
Absolutely! It’s one of our favorites!
@@SightAfterDark I’ve been begging reactors to get with it for awhile now, well done. I’ll be following your channel from here on out 🙏
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoy the videos!
WTF. How have I missed this. SD is playing on my headphones all the time. They are geniuses with brilliant arrangements and lyrics. I am 62 and now discover this? I love it. Add another to my long list of SD favorites.
You might be right about that.
My friend Danny gave me this album on my 18th birthday back in 1974 I am eternally grateful and have never looked back.
We can see why! This song is one of our favorites :)
The guitar on this song is filthy funky. So good.
Absolutely filthy! That’s prob why we love it so much. Thanks for watching Andrew!

Never saw you move so much, clearly enjoyed. One soulful, tasteful tune. What a diverse body of uniformly brilliant work, eh?
Absolutely! This songs is def one of our favorites!
I saw that too. Sifa was into it from the first note.
Skunk Baxter played the guitar solo on this track
As far as I know this is the most "rock & roll" of Steely Dan's songs. I always loved those solos.
Excellent name!
He killed it!
Some of the best solos we’ve heard for sure
@@SightAfterDark the next album is considered by many to be their "Guitar Album". Enjoy
My favourite band bar none and i'm a Brit.
Wait til you get to Gaucho,their funkiest,bass heaven album,with superstars guesting.
Magical.
Can’t wait!
All bangers
A killer tune, w/ another killer lead by Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter'. The beauty of 'Pretzel Logic' is that it has essentially 3 and half minute 'pop songs' - as weird as their 'pop' might get, that's essentially their approach, even if their tunes take these unusual turns here and there. This is from early 1974.
Love this song! One of our favs
You could just follow the discography of Jeff Skunk Baxter and get a music history lesson.
Skunk Baxter the Missile Man.
@@badbonzai1 Certified Genius on so many levels..
Walter as well.
What a great song and reaction! You two have some awesome tastes and insights. SD has been my fav since 1978.
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
When this came out it was vastly different than their other songs. A forgotten gem for sure. Thanks for reviewing 😎
Thanks for watching!
This band is so brilliant and they have such an amazing discography. For my money, the album Pretzel Logic is their finest moment.
So far it’s definitely our favorite. Thanks for watching!
Until Aja, this is my favorite Steely Dan album, especially the title track. Can’t wait for its premier.
This def is up there with their best albums so far!
Jeff Baxter is such a great guitar player he helps make any song special. Follow his career and you get a 70s / 80s rock history lesson.
And follow his mustache and you get a walrus!
Doobie Brothers,another immaculate band but a backward step for skunk imo,much as i love the Doobies.
He wasn't actually in Steely Dan. They touted once first album and quit here in Boston. People were shouting for the house band . Did half a show and never toured . All gold albums with zero live shoes. In 90 ? They said F it started touring. I saw them Walter Becker was the lead guitarist. Not bass.
You have to hear Automatic Man. 1976 one hit . Best first album ever. Bayette is the singer. Pat Thrall is lead guitar. Blue cover with alien head . Two albums , first is incredible. You will not be disappointed !! 76 Bat out of hell, hotel Cali, frampton comes alive, Boston, holy mackerel what a year.
That guitar solo still stands up today!
They tear this song UP!
Great reaction, love this song. The drummer on this was Jeff Porcaro from TOTO. 😊
Cool information, thanks!
Their best album in my books. I found this channel at just the right time, it seems. Nice reaction and easy sub!
Glad you enjoyed Jori! Thanks so much for watching!
You know it's a great Steely Dan when everyone is bobbing their heads.
One of our favorites!
The first recording session with Steely Dan for19 year old drummer Jeff Porcaro, may the drummers in heaven bless him.
You might want to know that I went to school and hung out with Jeff and his bros. Steve and Mike and Lukather and Paich-Toto.
Met and hung out with Steely Dan at a 2 day gig with Jeff, 50 yrs. ago, 3/11-12/74. It was very cool and so much fun to watch Jeff play with my favorite band. Listen to Katy Lied with an ear towards the rhythm section, Jeff's drumming, he was a real prodigy.
In my opinion the Steely Dan oevre is seperated into albums 1+2 and albums 3-7. My favourite track on Pretzel Logic is Any Major Dude, but this one is the runner up
Can definitely see that! Thanks for watching Siemon!
There's also 8 and 9.
It's the tune that and album that hooked me. Left home at 16 missed my parents albums and this was the first album i bought
Glad to see you both lovin' this track.
Super funky!
Love your reaction
Thank you 🙌
Great reaction, one of my favourite steely Dan tracks too. Look forward to royal scam reaction,it makes up for the dip in Katy lied!
Thanks for watching Ritchie! We’re glad you enjoyed!
Dip?
DIP???
No such thing in the Steely Dan playbook,please correct your post.
@@TheCornishCockney bear in mind I’m comparing Katy lied to their catalogue which is un real up until it. And comparing it to royal scam as well for me it’s their one album that isn’t my favourite. Still love some songs of it tho ofc
It's great when Steely Dan gets the love they deserve. Thanks for doing this.
SD is the best!
I used to cruise the night streets of DC and this was cool night driving music heading to Hammer jacks in Baltimore on ladies night Wild yeah
This song made me think about the movie Atlantic City from 1980 that I just saw again recently...just similar themes
They have to go down as one of the most listenable bands of that or any era. They had a knack for writing songs that just grab you right away.
The head bobbing is so cool
Dan fan since 16, the background vocals remind me of Manhattan Transfer. You know, Twilight Zone...
One of my favs!!!
SO many funky danceable jazzy tracks from the groovemasters but please check out the whole album Aja but especially Black Cow (a cocktail drink)
Its heaven for the ears like so many Dan tunes.
Thanks for watching! We already did all of Aja :) check it out if you like!
The two of you get it. You're listening to the music of my 20's - 50's.. I love Pretzel Logic.
Thanks for watching Glynn!
My favourite SD track, every note, every word, just perfect.
Is the song about homosecuality ??
I dont care if its wrong or if its right until my ship comes in i live night by night 😎✌ be safe !
That's Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on guitar. His guitar work is stellar on this track. A true guitar talent... and, of course, that's why Fagan and Becker hired him.
i used to drum with this tune..this is a song about bridging across the night to the light of day...getting on. Beautiful bridge interlude towards the short guitar solo...nice...rather then the usual walk in.
Missed this reaction when you did it but this is by far my favorite from Pretzel Logic. Very funky.
One of our favorite SD songs!
@@SightAfterDark mine too. It's different but still distinctively SD
2:06 one of the early foundations of R&B beats
This was the first Steely Dan album I ever bought even though I knew them from their radio hits. This album pulled me in and I was a Dan Fan from East Saint Louis Toodaloo on.
They do that ♥️!
Steely Dan Is In A Class All On Their Own !
For real!
Jeff Porcaro debut work for Steely Dan
My favorite Dan song and I play it extremely loud !
Yeahhhh it’s our favorite too!!
I got this CD...it fell out of heaven into my lap..somehow there is a million scratches on it but some parts still play....that's right...i found it in a Vietnamese 2nd hand shop in Chester Hill..
By far and away my favorite cut on the 'Pretzel' album. It's so thick, almost Big Band if big bands could rock...And so NYC...It's close to perfect.
Hell yeah! This is one of our favorites!
18 year old Jeff Porcaro (Toto) on drums!
Prodigy!
Actually it was Jim Gordon.
One of my personal favorites. I always want to play this when I'm turning someone on to Steely Dan. I figure if this doesn't grab them nothing will. You guys haven't done Royal Scam yet, have you?
Definitely one of our favorites so far. Royal Scam is next!
@@SightAfterDark Great. looking forward to it. I think it's considered their darkest album. But we'll let you decide. I don't usually self promote, but I have a small music channel of my own. Drop by and say hello if you have a second.
Looking forward to Royal Scam!
Jeff Baxter's short guitar solo is fantastic...the album is one of their best....
This amazing song is like a hint of things to come on Royal Scam. Sort of. But SD always surprises, intrigues, and pleases.
Your so right,in the pocket,the Dan don't do bad songs ,ever,keep on digging them,nice reaction
Thanks for watching Raymond!
favorite here!
We love this one!
Steely Dan are the best and this is indeed one of their best in my opinion of course ...
This is one of our favorites!
Dayum sista looking smoking!!
I agree!
A nice rocker of a deep cut.
One of our favorites!
You've just scratched the surface.
Royal Scam is another amazing Steely Dan album you have to listen to if you haven’t yet.
We have!
If you're still doing music reactions,, you guys might like to see and hear something different, try watching and listening to "Edgar Winter Group" perform "Frankenstein" live. You' ll see some of the talent of Edgar Winter possesses.
FYI just listened to your “Eastside Edibles” tune. A lot of great changeups and hooks - intro (which I believe you also use for your show) is a killer. Great arrangement. Not exactly sure what the lyrics were about (as I couldn’t make out all of them) overall great tune!
Thanks so much Steve ❤️!
In the pocket is what this is, great observation. Effortless groove and urban funk vibe before that was a thing.
You kiddin me? Been vibin on this fuckin gem since I was 15 and the girl next door did dig me deeply!! By the by, for the irreverently unititiated, There Is No Inferior Song By The Dan....jus play NEXT!!!
:)
"Yes."
Uhhh huhhhh!
Lol exactly
As a guy that regards can't buy a thrill for top spot, this is one my top five SD tracks. As a drummer, there are turns in this one that still vex me, and that guitar solo is just so perfectly nervously languid. Like casually actually chewing a toothpick.
Any major dude will tell you is so sweet. Very out of character. A great song for just about any band, but somehow low in my anthology rankings.
Thanks for sharing Brendan!
Dance!
I've got a feeling you guys are gonna dig Royal Scam.
Us too!
I am thinking you are aware of Two Against Nature?
Jeff Porcaro is the drummer on Night by Night and Katy Lied. Katy Lied is a lot more of a jazz album. Closer to Aja. Royal Scam is closer to Pretzel Logic.
Ooh, Skunk Baxter with that tasty guitar, stank face Last album with the 5 core members which is ashame given what they would do on this album. Peace.
Indeed. This is our favorite album from them so far! Can only imagine what would’ve happened if they kept going how they were
omg where have YOU guys been ........"kids today ...." HOW many years has this album been part of pop-music history?
It really is a fantastic album. Thanks for watching Ron!
@@SightAfterDark and kudos to you for discovering it and spreading the word! With nine studio albums and four Donald Fagen projects, spanning 40 years,--no shortage of creative brilliant jazz/R&B/pop MASTERPIECES from each. And with such layered subtlety to be discovered there, you’ll find the more you listen to these guys, the more you’ll appreciate. Fagen/Becker and Fagen-solo have no equal on our musical landscape!
From Can't Buy A Thrill to Aja Steely Dan did not make a Bad Album, end of story
TRUTH! Thanks for watching Tim!
I live night by night . I drink scotch whiskey all night long and stagger away from crashing my car into a tree . A little blood dripping from my skull but I'll wipe it away and crawl the surbanan streets like a viper making love to whoever I can snag . I used to write for the Boston rag . Throw some bowie in here
The revolution didn't work such a drag . All the young dudes carry the news .boogaloo blues
Some much news is a ruse . top gun cruise .I ran out of rhymes like whatever .
The end .
Hahah this has gotta be one of their best songs. The atmosphere is so intense
Early Steely Dan has always been a champion of the societal fringe and loserdom. The bulk of their songs then tell stories about the wrong side of the tracks. The newer stuff dwelled on the winners "up on the hill", who were really just losers in their own way.
The Fez - Royal Scam
You call it variety , 70's never turn off the Dan as songs fade solos are always screaming to fade. Walter Becker comes up with the lead. They then get who they want for the style or whatever. Rick Derringer said I spent six weeks doing one solo. I told Walter to do it. I heard it on the album and understood why they wanted me . Weird genius's
Weird genius’s could be the name of a SD documentary
@@SightAfterDark don't know but bad blood between camps after Walter Becker s death, :where his friend is finally showing him those bright colored blankets on the hereafter side. :
W.B. SURF AND OR DIE.
There are NO bad Steely Dan albums lol
Fair!
Nothe like Steely Dan really. Winwood in the 80's??? MEH.
why my guy head bobbing out of tune all the time, mans got no rhythm
To me this is the most OVERRATED song from their most overrated album.
IMO the chorus is uncharacteristically predictable and trite by Steely Dan’s incredibly lofty standards, and to me this track sounds like the theme song to a ‘70’s TV detective show.
Having said all that, they went on SUCH an incredibly creative tear AFTER Pretzel Logic with everything from Katy Lied through The Nightfly...that the slight creative hiccup here is easily forgiven and forgotten.
🎸❤️😎
Haha that's funny. We really like this one! To each his own! we agree they went on a tear after this
@@SightAfterDark I know I’m certainly in the minority with my opinion about this song, but I also absolutely LOVE Steely Dan, and I listen to their music constantly. Their music is the soundtrack of my life.
