Steely Dan - Deacon Blues | REACTION/REVIEW 

“I cried when I wrote this song, so sue me if I play too long”…No sir, I wish this song were twice as long.

This Band has been in my top ten since 1972

This track is a whole fkn jam. The entire Aja album is an unmatched masterpiece. You don't get any cooler than Fagan and Becker 😎

Dark and sophisticated. That sax is beyond cool. I’ll be what I want to be.

Another beautiful tune, from a most brilliant SD album. Smooth, yeah. Love the sax!

I have no reason why, but this is my favorite Steely Dan song. ❤

One of my faves by them.

I love this song. It's got a great groove. Love this album start to finish. Thanks for your reaction as always!

Saw them countless times. My fav band.

The smoothest! Love Steely Dan ❤! Thanks for the excellent review. ☮️❤️😎

HOME AT LAST PLEASE DO NEXT !

What a awesome song it's been soothing since I first heard it in 1976! Great job Biz!

Perfect song.. And I'm a Metalhead. SD strived for perfection and this is the culmination of all that hard work. I think it's their best song.

On the vinyl this song was such a fitting ending to side 1 of Aja, literally knocking you back in your seat in reverence to what you just heard. Then you flipped it over and Peg is waiting for you to get up outta your chair and dance

Straight fire groove from SD 🔥

Watching you get off on my favorite music is truly a trip, sir . . . soul always wins!

For all of us in loserdom. Pete Cristlieb on sax straight from The Tonight Show band with the great Johnny Carson.

They need to bring back the horn section in music. It just adds so much to a song.

THANK YOU FROM JAZZ CITY, BUFFALO, NEW YORK. MORE STEELY DAN🤠

Your favorite band’s favorite band. I was here.

Great reaction. Another great song from Steely Dan is "King of the world".

Thanks for playing and reacting to another great song from SteelyDan, keep playing, there sound is so unique!

You might want the shlyrics for this one. 😆 Steely Dan taught me about drugs and booze and college football when I was a kid and I didn't know it. Heh. 😆 Imagine tuning in a pop radio station and hearing this song. It happened. It happened a lot.

Back when folks wanted to "check/test" their home sound systems, this was one of the albums they would use.

If you haven't checked out Donald Fagan's solo work, it has that same Steely Dan signature sound. Must hears: The Nightfly, Trans Island Skyway, Morph the Cat, the absolutely incredible Florida Room. I know you'll love it!

Classic. Nice.

nice pick!

Unmatched in studio perfection. That entire album. Top to bottom.

Love Steely Dan ❤

The absolute epitome of "Smooth".

Great song. Love the Dan.

My fave Dan song(and that's saying a lot!) 🙏❤🌹 Walter 🌹❤🙏

Great song one of my favs oh hell they all are! This is on my favorite album A Decade Of Steely Dan thank you Biz.

Such a classic and cool song. So smooth, so sexy.

New Subscriber. I heard this tune when it first came out. Best song they ever did in my opinion.

This being the 3rd best track on what some including myself feel is the best album ever produced👊

I don't know of a Steely Dan song that I don't absolutely love...

Hi Biz love Steele Dan 👋👋👋👋🇨🇦😎

A masterpiece from a masterpiece!

Great reaction , Steely Dan have a lot of great songs

If you love sum sax, check out The Big Man (Clarence Clemons) blow that sax solo at the end of Bruce Springsteen's "Jungleland"

“Sue me if I play too long”

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎆🎆🎆🎆

One of my favorites, love the sax. Biz I just got this today for some reason I’m not getting my notifications:( thank you love Steely Dan.

If you loved this, you will love "FM". So smooth and "saxy"!

The best studio musicians in the business

Love your reaction at 5.20 to that sax!

Relax and chill with Steely Dan !

Our deepest desire is our strangest fear.

One of their best 🔥 The whole album is 🔥 too

This is my favorite Steely Dan song

I have been a super huge Steely Dan fan since their first album came out in the early 70's and closely followed all of their many albums since, this is my favorite song of theirs!

One of my favs it takes me back

This is smoothness

How's that for a Cloud 9 manifesto? Used to love playing this - acoustic guitar solo. No solo section, no sax. Always surprised and delighted folks, females noticeably. Musicians too, of course. 😊❤

……Classic “Dan” ❤️🔥

Aja. Every song is a hit.

Excellent song

So many great things in one song. They don’t make music like this much anymore. Enjoy 🎶

Smooth!

I love to see you sing along

That moment when you decide to screw all the climbing and scratching and just play what you feel...sweet with some bitter. Nobody but Steely Dan would think to sing about this;)

Great band/great song. So mellow...

Love Steely Dan! This is such a good song! Good car song, get to your destination chilled out.❤

Love Love Love Steely Dan

tell your story in the most beautiful eloquent way. a call for us all.

This is just the “Coolest Music 🎼 “ !!!!!❤😅

You reacted to Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat", but you haven't listened to "Time Passages" & "Song on the Radio". They both have killer sax solos

Yea, this a jam. Die behind the wheel-

They used different artists to play on each song of the Aja album. The cohesion of the entire album is remarkable. It is definitely a classic album.

Great song but bitter. Love them.

Seems imo charlie parker, the iconic sax legend, is referenced in the lyrics, die behind the wheel, among others, and your take on it...👍👍

Another classic from the Aja album.

My fav from AJA

I'm so glad you got to check that out. This is such an amazing song and I've heard it so many times since I first encountered it in high school I suppose, and yeah I never get tired of hearing it. Something just occurred to me. I don't know how you feel about the Blues, but listening to this with you, it suddenly made me realize - I bet you would love something like Robert Cray's song Phone Booth from the 1980s, from his iconic Bad Influence album. It's really a groovy track and it captures the Blues, and it's so damn smooth and really compels you to dance, but it's funny as well. It t is actually hilarious and yet still poignant. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HMdGqfrT7Ro.html&pp=ygUXcm9iZXJ0IGNyYXkgcGhvbmUgYm9vdGg%3D

Present

I dig it

Please review the entire AJA album. So worth it for you ❤

Dude, both Billy Joel songs you’ve done are good, but relatively minor parts of his incredible catalogue. Check out Piano Man. New York State of Mind, Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, Vienna, Just the Way You Are, Always a Woman, Downeaster Alexa and Allentown just for starters. That would leave another couple dozen masterpieces for you to find on your own having become hooked on his genius.

Biz Blues

This song just freezes time when it's playing. Check out Home at Last from the same album.

Review FM please. It’s great!

Scotch Whisky, i.e. whisky produced in Scotland is spelled whisky and not whiskey.

Where is our great music gonna come from next ?

And I'm not talking about the saxophone.

The call Alabama the crimson tide. Call me Deacon Blues. I am a deacon. A Wake Forest Demon Deaxon. Might Bouges. Steely Dan is god!! 2 best songs tied for first and light years ahead of the rest, Black Cow and Kid Charlemagne

This song alone wraps up so many disparate and seemingly disconnected feelings of growing up in an insanely accelerating modern world of shifting goals.That was the 70's. What now? SD's music was full of sunshine and hope, even through the eyes of a nihilistic opportunist . Fatalistic to the bitter end, but happy that this was some redemption for a loser. I think Donald and Walter documented the end of an era in society better than any novelist or non fiction writer could strive for.

This is grown folks music

Calm down from the world music

I love these guys, but Steely is way cooler than Dan.

There just a little to slow for me But they r a good group.
