Totally! No other band is as eclectic, creative, unique and you'll find a song you love if you listen to all their tunes, no matter your musical tastes. 🎶🎶🎹🎸📯🎺
I'm not a religious man, but the fact that I lived long enough to see Steve Winwood and Steely Dan doing Pretzel Logic together suggests that whatever God is, this is part of it. 😎
I'm 76... I was the luckiest to live in these marvelous times of music, Beatles, Zappa, Hendrix, Led Zep, Doors, James Brown... so many... so many... thanks to ya'll brothers in music...
If I could, I would attend every effen Steely Dan show!! This is my musical influence growing up, no one had it better than us post Boomers in the late 60's and throughout the seventies!!
Carlock crushing it. Winwood ..... Herington sick solo. Caroline Leonhart vocalizing on the top. Those days are gone forever over a long time agooooooooo! Goosebumps every time.
I agree, he's missed so much. Been a fan since the beginning. I was so glad to see them around 2000. Michael Mcdonald opened, he sat in, played and sang with them they were great. The other guitarist, often wears a black t shirt on stage played a lot of the leads. Walter Becker would have solos also. On one song the other guitar player,(black t shirt) I believe Jon Herrington a famous jazz guitarist was about to solo. Walter next to him cut him off with body language and took it himself. Of course when your 50% of S.D. you can do that. He played a great lead. Yes Walter is missed....and his humor. I nremember a interview " whats your favorite SD album? He did not flinch...."Kind Of Blue".....a Miles Davis album....
@@lukemanify I see your view, if it was Donald gone respectfully, Wally would carry on. He would have sit in guest keyboardist, touring keyboardist, guest vocalist. It's their music, he would want to continue as Donald wants. They made that decision a long time ago as you recall. The name rights and so forth would go to the remaining one. I don't want to sound morbid, think if it was a plane crash and both were gone....yikes, horrible.
Every once in awhile. A pair of artists will tour together that just seems to make perfect sense. I was born in 1969 and my parents always had music going in the house. Traffic and Steely Dan were on heavy rotation. As I got older I continued listening. The Nightfly and Arc of a diver.Those CDs were constantly in the car and by 1994. WOW!! STEELY DAN AND TRAFFIC WERE BACK!!! Getting to see both these bands in my mid-twenties seem like the best of times. Both these artists are the surviving legacy of those respective bands. To see these two together on stage performing pretzel logic is nothing short of Goosebumps! Donald Fagen graciously passing the vocals to Stevie, who still at this age has a tremendous voice just put the biggest smile on my face! When two artists of this caliber share the stage to perform on a piece of music that was written when they were at their peak, it can't help but stir something within you. Either that or my leg has a brain of its own because it uncontrollably taps along in time with this song everytime I hear it!😃 Whoever gave this a thumbs down must have been standing on their freaking head when they voted or they just truly have no soul that music can reach!!
Im a few years older than you (66) and we too always called him Stevie Winwood... actually it was "Little Stevie Winwood"....when did it change to Steve Winwood? It gave me a good laugh because we are both much younger than Steve and we were all calling him Stevie!
@@bretschwartz Ha! Yeah. I have always heard other artists I respect referring to Stevie in that way. He really did earn it out the gate though writing " gimme some lovin" at 15. It's hard to accept that these guys are near double overtime in their touring years. I don't want it to ever end. Winwood, Stones , The Who, The Eagles, Clapton, I've definitely turned into the old man that just doesn't like a lot of modern music. 🤣🤣🤣
Steely Dan's music is highly complexed with all the jazz influences yet it's very easy on the ear a lot of amazing guitar work and musicianship including the vocal harmonies drumming keyboard and horns nice funky bass too. All the albums are excellent. The Royal scan and Aja are my favourites but all of them are amazing.
Nice! I saw Steely dan just before Covid and it was great.. Haven't heard that Steve Winwood was going to tour with them.. Will definitely be on the lookout for that!
Two great favourites Steely Dan and Steve Winwood. Such fantastic musical pleasure these special people have brought over the years. Thanks for all the great music.
This is great. I have always loved their live rendition of this song. Keith Carlock really drives this version with his percussive percussion. And I could listen to Steve Winwood improvise to the swampy bluesy chord progression all night!
Same here! Have only just discovered Keith Carlock, but I can’t stop watching him! Also pushed me Wayne Krantz’s way which has been another joyful guitarist discovery. That guy is in another world!
I have been following him since my first S D concert in Charlotte NC in 2005. Such a great rockin' guy when he needs to be, and super smooth when called upon. And always funky. Beautiful musician. And I'm a keyboard player lol.
Steely Dan and Stevie Winwood together on stage and two of my favourite acts. Being a drummer, I have played along to SD records as inspiration in the past and have some DAT tapes of a gig I played of their music which I must dig out and listen to at some point. I did some studio wiring installation work for Stevie W back in the late 1980's and, along with Peter Gabriel, he is one of the nicest people I have met in my career as a studio wiring installation person. Looks like Keith Carlock on drums who is fab. Quite good sound quality from a camera mic at the side, wow and thanks for sharing.
Watched the video. Wonderful stuff, couldn’t help but notice the drummer on his entrance. Talk about setting the course forward, powerful!! Didn’t know who he was but now I do. Great job by Keith, great drummer. The whole group, plus Winwood, super!
I've enjoyed Steely Dan live a couple of times over the years. It doesn't get a whole lot better. But if Stevie Winwood had been with them then I may have had to hi jack the concert and kept it going even now in December 2020. But I'm not all bad. I would've given them a 10 minute break every 24 hours.
I had this album when it came out, and my wife and I were in the process of separating. I listened to it a lot back then, but could never get into it, now 45 years later I have grown to enjoy the music while forgetting the circumstances surrounding it. Brilliant song, along with the riff from Rikki don't lose that number.
so important to me , saw them way back in Bristol supported by the wonderful Kiki Dee ( wow) and then in nec first time , had shit seats . but hey , music is a massive part of my life , I still play and the covers I do are , mostly from all those great performers of the 70's , Jackson Browne , J T , Stills , . such a great era and these dudes are still doing it ,
@@davidperez5089 With the exception of Donald, all of the band members were either in diapers or not even born when Stevie sang on not 1 but 2 top 10 hits with Spencer Davis group.
OMG! Two of my favorite keyboardists on a song that is one of my absolute favorites! I would have killed someone to have heard this in person!. And let me add that Keith Carlock is like loosely bridled chaos on percussion! His energy just flows all over this performance!
Having grown up with their music, it's hard for us not to see Walter there. I'm sure it's always on Donald's mind. Fantastic to see the genius known as Steve Winwood with Donald though.
Wow Steve Winwood. My son and I were just talking about him about 3 days ago. Would love to see him live some day. Wish this was better quality but for what it is, it’s really nice. Thank you.
