Bro's, you'll love their "Josie" and "Black Cow"!!!! edit- Larry Carlton on the guitar solo on Kid Charlemagne. He also does the guitar solo on Steely Dan's "Don't Take Me Alive", which you haven't reacted to yet.
These guys need to listen to the words. They are missing out on the best part of Steely Dan. It is the Lyrics. If you think the music is great, the Lyrics will shock you. This Song was about a Drug Kingpin in 1960 San-Fran, that invented LSD, and his whole claim to fame, then crash and burn. A TRUE Story as are most of the songs they have written about.
One of my most favorite Steely Dan songs! Based on the story of Owsley Stanley a sound engineer for the Grateful Dead who made the best LSD back in the day. 🔥💖😎
Love the chill vibe. Funky keyboards, drums, and legendary guitar work by Larry Carlton. So cool. Your new studio set up is nice! Thanks for the reaction guys!!
Dang, I forgot Larry Carlton was on this. I still listen to his Room 335 album. I saw him live in an intimate setting long time ago…I’ll never forget it!
@@Katy_r what made it even more amazing is after the first show, we were approached by Carlton’s wife and family and she asked if they could sit with us to see the second show. We had the best booth in the restaurant and I think they assumed we had been seated to see the second show. Two for one! I got to see both shows and sit with his family! I hope you don’t mind..sorry to ramble on…
Steely Dan is fabulous, and this song is from The Royal Scam, my favorite album of all time. Dive into one album at a time because they are all different from each other, and great in their own way. Keep going down the rabbit hole that's in front of you. Nice review of this song.
The line, “Is there gas in the car? Yes there’s gas in the car, “ always stood out to me in this song for some reason! That and the superb guitar work. I like your shirt George. I live a couple hundred miles south of there in San Diego! 😎
Fun fact for you boys. Larry Carlton (the guitarist) showed up at the studio, they gave him the chord charts and played the track, he played around with some ideas for a few minutes, then he did both solos in two takes. They took the best parts of both takes and he left in about 30 minutes or so from when he entered the studio. He also played all the riffing throughout the song.
A song about Augustus Owsley the 3rd the best underground LSD chemist in the history of life! I was fortunate enough to have sampled some of his product. Oh, his nickname was " Bear " and he was also the sound man for the Grateful Dead. There's some knowledge 🙂
About 10 yeares ago I working at a conference for the in South Lake Tahoe, NV and in the evening from out concierge suite where we had cocktails and hors d'oeuvres we were able to see the entire concert from the balcony. It was awesome! A great setting for a wonderful party. The state was right below us. Love that you love listening to them. Great reaction guys!
Steely Dan, so many albums, so many tracks and not a bad one among them. I've searched and can't find one !!! Apart from brilliant compositions by Donald Fagen & the late Walter Becker, you will find their engineering in the recording studio is top notch sound reproduction mixing etc, and basically , as good as it gets, only equaled by very few artists that includes the incredible duo from "Yello", Dieter Meier & Boris Blank. On a good sound system you have sonic bliss at it's finest.
Yo tengo 55 años, escuché por radio a esta banda 1978,. Y desde entonces soy fan, saludos mijos,soy de GDL Jalisco, México. Si un día le llegan a guanatos,les ofrezco un tour de lugares para refinar, saludos.
Great insights, I completely agree that listening to Steely Dan with headphones help the listener grasp all the details in the arrangement and all the instrumentation of their tracks.
A big thanks to both of you for making music a communal experience again. We’re all listening to the music with you and each other and that’s the best way to do it. It’s a social experience. 🕊❤️🎼
Guys check out "Don't take me alive" from the same album, the soloist on Kid Charlemagne the legendary jazz/fusion guitarist Larry Carlton opens the song with an extraordinary solo, also check out "Don't give it up" from Larry's self-titled solo album from 1978, brilliant track ruclips.net/video/NzFsbhyiibU/видео.html cheers
You guys are missing out on the best part of Steely Dan. It is the Lyrics. If you think the music is great, the Lyrics will shock you. This Song was about a Drug Kingpin in 1960 San-Fran, that invented LSD, and his whole claim to fame, then crash and burn. A TRUE Story as are most of the songs they have written about.
It wouldn't hurt to listen again with the lyrics, it's a great story. "... white men on the streets" refers to cocaine. "Is there gas in the car? Yes there's gas in the car" Owsley got busted once when he ran out of gas. Great song with a great story behind it.
Owsley Stanley III was a brilliant man: audio engineer, inventor and clandestine chemist who, by his own admission, produced some 5 million doses of LSD in a about 2 years.
I am pretty sure "white men on the streets" is refering to the gentrification of the Cit;y. Hippies were fading out and the Silicon Valley businessmen were taking over the street. So yes, in a way cocaine was being used more than LSD, but it was because of the business men and all of their money.
Well done to you both. I enjoy your SD reactions .. here are a few more songs suggestions for you... Home at Last, King of the World, Black Cow. Take care
Do you dudes realize for years Steely Dan mid 7O,s was Walter Becker and the Great Donald Fagen and different session musicians! I got one for you Fagen solo early 80s new frontiers you will love it fo it You will only get this from me
Would like to hear your reaction to Neil Young's 'Cortez the Killer'. It's about Spain's conquest of Mexico & the Aztec Indians. Fun fact: The song was banned in Spain under the rule of Francisco Franco. Great song that makes the listener think and contemplate the destruction of the New World.
I’m in the USA 🇺🇸 and so depressed about our Democratic Administration, I need a Steely Dan, break. In the USA 🇺🇸 Please Vote on November 8th. Now back to the music
All those millions of jobs being created right here in the USA, along with the chip and semiconducters being made here now sure is depressing. That 3.7% unemployment rate is also depressing. I'll be sure to vote blue on November 8th.
You’re talking to two young men who’s country was once a part of the old Soviet Union. You should consider yourself lucky for living in a democracy under a President who whole-heartedly supported the resistance by Ukraine of another Putin aggression. But my best guess is you don’t have a clue what you have.
"Is there gas in the car? Yes, there's gas in the caaaar!" is a famous SD phrase. I got a T-shirt with it on it.
Steely Dan, enough said! Just enjoy 😉
Steely Dan is my favorite American Band. Love ❤️ everything they do. They literally have no bad songs. Hope you continue down this rabbit 🐇 hole.
Bro's, you'll love their "Josie" and "Black Cow"!!!!
edit- Larry Carlton on the guitar solo on Kid Charlemagne.
He also does the guitar solo on Steely Dan's "Don't Take Me Alive", which you haven't reacted to yet.
All of those and "Any Major Dude Will Tell You", "Night By Night", "Caves of Altamira"

Exactly, most of the Lyrics of many Steely Dan songs are of underworld deeds, but the music tune is bright and cheerful... very deceptive.
Cool song in every way. That guitar solo is top notch.
So happy to hear y’all enjoyed KingCrimson!! And now you’re doing my favorite SteelyDan song - “is there gas in the car?” - HELL YEAH! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
Yes, there’s gas in the caaaar!

The great Larry Carlton on guitar.
Luvvvv "The DAN" 👠🎷👠🎹👠🎙
The funkiest Steely Dan song is Green Earrings. Please dont miss this one. Rock on Bros!!
"Is there gas in the cah? Yes there's gas in the cah."
Love Steely Dan
This song has to be the inspiration for Breaking Bad.
Steely Dan be jammin'! "Don't Take Me Alive," also from The Royal Scam album, is off the hook too!
Caves of Altamira too, one of my favourite songs.
Enjoyed your reaction to a very talented group! Also enjoyed your King Crimson reaction on Patreon! 🙂💙

Absolutely one of the best 70s songs ever recorded. Simply a masterpiece of musical talent, writting and production.

I think they wrote this song about Stanley Owsley? LSD King of the 1960s? It is in my top 3 Steely Dan songs. 1. Josie 2. Bodhisattva 3. This one.
Clean this mess up or we'll all end up in jail, the test tubes and the scales, just get it all out of here....
Owsley Stanley is the correct pronunciation. (aka "Bear")
@@marymargaretmoore9034 This Bear ? - ruclips.net/video/kwghDRDzxfQ/видео.html - Hope not.
The great Larry Carlton is the guitarist.
One of their very best along with Ny Old School!
Great insights, I completely agree that listening to Steely Dan with headphones help the listener grasp all the details in the arrangement and all the instrumentation of their tracks.
Love me some Steely. " Bodhisattva" next. Hard to pronounce but fav song
Easily in the top 10 Steely Dan songs in my opinion
Please do "Any Major Dude Will Tell You", "Night By Night", "Caves of Altamira", "Josie', "Black Cow"...!
You won't be disappointed...
Nobody would be disappointed with those songs!
I could add more, but it would take too long 😕
A big thanks to both of you for making music a communal experience again. We’re all listening to the music with you and each other and that’s the best way to do it. It’s a social experience. 🕊❤️🎼

"F" Rap music. This is as good as it gets. And again , we are in the 70's. So much originality, so much talent.
My favorite band 💗

Keep going to Steely Dan. And check out Fagan's first two solo albums.
Brilliant.
Guys! I gotta have more Dan! This song is about a dude named Owsley who mass produced high quality acid back in the 60s .check the lyrics.
Donald Fagan (Steely Dan) "IGY" and "New Frontier" are Very good as well..!
Well done to you both. I enjoy your SD reactions .. here are a few more songs suggestions for you... Home at Last, King of the World, Black Cow. Take care
You've got to try: Jude Cole “Start The Car” It's not this genre at all, but I think you'll love it!
Hey guys, LOVE your channel! How about a newer Steely Dan like "What A Shame About Me" or "Cousin Dupree"? Great storytelling in both 😊
Do you dudes realize for years Steely Dan mid 7O,s was Walter Becker and the Great Donald Fagen and different session musicians! I got one for you Fagen solo early 80s new frontiers you will love it fo it
You will only get this from me
Hey guys what about the royal scam song
The test tubes and the scales I's there gas in the car 😂😂😆 i
Chuck Rainey's bass is so tasty. Really ties the song together.
They're best song in my opinion
Would like to hear your reaction to Neil Young's 'Cortez the Killer'. It's about Spain's conquest of Mexico & the Aztec Indians. Fun fact: The song was banned in Spain under the rule of Francisco Franco. Great song that makes the listener think and contemplate the destruction of the New World.
Please check out Steely Dan - Green Earrings. it's fire 🔥

If you'd like to hear a really great vocal, try Jill Scott "You Don't Know".
Please check out Black Friday if you like a nice guitar solo.
