Pretty funny stuff….a Steely Dan Japanese tribute band. The dude tries to mimic DF. Tried to clip just first 2 mins but couldn’t. Also, DF grew up around the block from where Maura lives in Kendall Park.
Such a good job these Asian guys did. Even Fagen himself was wowed by them. And as a bonus, in his attempt to do Fagen's vocals, the lead guy ends up giving you a nice Bob Dylan impression.
I watched Fagen interviewed by Ben Sidran's kid Leo, and Fagen mentioned that although he found Steely Dan tribute bands flattering, "I wonder why people don't just do their own material."
I remember this interview back in the day on XM radio before the merger and they f#%ked everything up. However, the one true fact and a shining star has always been Ron Bennington. He's one of the very best interviewers of the 90's and 2000's. Probably even before that but I didn't know about him before that. He's especially excellent doing a Q & A with rockers or funky blues/jazz/rock/whatever like the great Donald Fagen. "The Dukes of September" was a really great idea and they toured together for awhile. There's plenty of takes from their concerts uploaded to RU-vid. You're Welcome!
Excellent….Amazingly enough there are a number of SD cover bands that are remarkable as it is no easy feat! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qlAJRKdGC2Q.html Others inc Nostatic band & Steeling Dan ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_TCh8UKmVDI.html
