Steely Dan - My Old School (live @ Pine Knob Amphitheatre - 8.11.2003) 

5:24 best of times 70's

You lost me at Genesis.

All those poor kids who think we're just sad old boomers will never get it. Ignorance is bliss, and they have no idea what they missed.

Quoon? Omg

boston

Yes !!!!

Best in any year or town 🎹

Absolutely😊

MOS is my favorite Steely Dan song.

Well, put! He has to cover Denny Dias, Jeff Baxter, and Larry Carlton! And he covers their stuff while keeping his own style!

No shit

Yeah I agree, but not a very nice guy in person. Met him when he played the Queen Theater in Delaware and he was kind of a dick!

​@@timsullivan67I cut musicians a bit more slack than your average office workers. Genius often comes side by side with anxiety, depression and other fun things. I would hate to be so recognizable as to have to be obligated to be nice to everyone.

@@Creaulx when you wait on him all night, supply his rider in his green room, and escort him around the building, being nice to someone taking care of you is not much to ask!

Nah

It sure is their signature song. all the best steely dan right there!!!

Great song but I'm not sure it's their signature song.

While this song is better imo reelin in the years is the only song that gets radio play

Ricky don't lose that number is my favorite

They collected some great musicians for their concerts...

Hell yeah

Leonid and friends do this song

One reason I could never audition for this band 🤣🤣🤣

It was like the solo but not like the solo. I dug the differences to it.

There is a great interview out there somewhere with Larry Carlton about getting the call back 20 years after the recording fact to do a live gig with the Dan - he asked his friends and family should he do the solos like he did them now after 20 years of working on them or should he do it like he recorded them originaly? Apparently everyone looked at him like an idiot and he had to rely on John Harrington to get thru the gig! Now, I'm sure this was 90% the professional tip of the hat to Harrington who has the toughest seat in rock n roll but just the same! In this context you don't improvise very much outside the studio take at all! Lol! There's more than enough meat in the samwich as it is!

My hat's so off it's like I never had one.

Herrington is great..Just enough homage to the original solos with his own great playing and imagination

I could listen to this song a thousand times and never get tired of it.

That mfer can play

Leonid and friends do a way better version.

absolutely. just like the original

@@genenie5981 how do they do it better? they just copy the original note for note

Both versions are great. The thing with Leonid's version is the sound quality. It was played in a recording studio so the sounds were more clear.

Listen again sir, it’s rushed! Guitarist isn’t even close to the same feel and expression . Backing vocals a little thin.etc…. It’s good but not this

Me, too!!!🎉

Yup. Me, too🎉

You said it all❤

Perfect backup singer for Steely Dan: great intonation and energy in her voice, unforgettable beauty and a twinkle in her eye.

I have a crush on her too!

That mfer can play !

i agree!!!

Larry comes close here though

No one guitarist can recreate the incredible duet Skunk and Denny performed on this song. Even copying just one part takes a very gifted guitarist.

Uh....the Dan had several unbelievable guys over the years. Just look at Jon Herrington here in this vid. I like Baxter a lot. He's great, but......

Also, the tone of Skunk's Strat seems better suited to this song.

Who is Walter Fagan?

Lucky Dog

Me too

Me, too..😢

And everything else! Guitar.. the greatest!

Who is the other? ;-)

Mine was their original tour. Just outstanding.

Silence is better than hip-hop

You nailed it.
