So true...we were definitely spoiled by the sheer volume of exquisite sounds & musicianship during the 70s, via the radio or vinyl. I don't think we realized at the time just how lucky we actually were! I'm so grateful to have been around then to have experienced it. Even today, 90% of the music I listen to is from this era.

My all time favorite song! This song takes me back to 1973. My parents bought me a transistor radio for Christmas. I would lay in bed every night and fall asleep with the ear piece in my ear. The song was in heavy rotation at that time and it would always play around the same time every night. This song NEVE gets old and whenever I hear, it transports me back to great memories. Thanks Rob and Amber for playing my jam! You two are a Blessing!

These guys were some of the most talented songwriters and studio musicians to ever put on a set of headphones. This earlier stuff is a bit psychedelic and the would get a little jazzier the "Aja" LP, which is my fave. Been a faithful listener for many years and they never get old. Try "Peg" or "Deacon Blues" from Aja. You won't be disappointed. Cheers, guys!

@robertbyington7715 2 года назад

Do you know why it’s a nod to SD Becker’s Girlfriend at the time was a huge Eagles fan and every time they had an argument she would turn up the volume on an Eagles record so people couldn’t hear them argue which pissed B off even more. So on the Royal Scam album on the song tell me everything you did the line is turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening. So when HC was released they asked Felder who wrote the best lyrics and he said Steely Dan they are a BEAST; so they stabbed it with their steely knives but they could not kill the beast.

@danabuch324 2 месяца назад

I don't think so. "Steely Dan" refers to and is the name of a silver steel sex toy for the ladies.

@jennhurl 2 месяца назад

@danabuch324 Steely Dan's 1976 song “Everything You Did” included the sardonic line, “Turn up The Eagles, the neighbors are listening.” The Eagles answered - on “Hotel California,” released later that year - with “They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast.” -wiki Get ur mind out of the gutter 😂

@LiberalsArePoop 2 года назад

I am almost positive that back in 1979, some company was running commercials advertising Pink Floyd The Wall, Steely Dan Aja, and Toto's debut album all in one ad. But the weird thing is that The Wall was 79, Aja was 77, and Toto was 78. I was only 12 so I know I wasn't high. Maybe it's just a testament to how albums would chart for weeks, months, and even years back then.

@jmclen7 2 года назад

Steely Dan is worth a deep dive. Probably my favorite rock band. The musicianship and production are second to none. Then there’s the writing. Worth a deep dive for sure. As they move towards the disco era, their sound changes and yet it’s always unmistakably Steely Dan, which is a band btw, not a dude. Named after a marital aid from William S. Burroughs’ novel Naked Lunch, Steely Dan is one of a kind. These two songs you reacted to are their earliest stuff. I know you guys like horns. Steely Dan’s later stuff is filled with horns. They are also heavily sampled in hip hop and are beloved by so many hip hop producers and really all music producers who know how good and innovative they were. I know that feeling like there’s this deep well there when you first listen to them. Indeed there is.

Looked it up, the solo 'guitar' on this track is actually an electric sitar, played expertly by a fellow named Denny Dias. Not familiar with DD, but he sure rips it up on this track. The synth-sounding organ solo just after is played by Donald Fagan, who is also singing lead. I've always loved this track! Gives me hope that people your age can dig it too...:)

The solo isn't a guitar, it's a Danelectro Coral Electric Sitar, an electric version of a classic Indian instrument, which has a really unique tone. It's played by Denny Dias. The keyboard solo right after it is played by the lead singer Donald Fagen. The rest of the group on this song is Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on guitar, Walter Becker on bass, and Jim Hodder on drums.

@jamesredman1263 2 года назад

@@peacefulpossum2438 Fagan and Becker answering an ad by guitarist Denny Dias actually started what became Steely Dan. Denny was a member at the time of this album and until Fagan and Becker broke it up with the plan to use session musicians. Then he continued to work with them on an as-needed basis for a long time, as well as with others. Being a founder of Steely Dan doesn't hurt your rep. However, he worked other jobs as well, principally computer programming. He was one of the designers of Nantucket Clipper 5 xBase compiler, if you remember that. Among other guitar gigs, he toured with Toto in 1991. In 1999 he recorded a CD of his original tunes titled "Matter of Time." In 2012 he was part of a tour group supporting Spanky McFarlane, whose 1960s group "Spanky and Our Gang" made a bit of a splash when I was in high school. I don't know if they have done that since. Apparently they had fun though. In 2014 he gathered people for a similar tour as "Denny Dias and Friends" doing mainly early Steely Dan tunes he was originally part of. Again, not sure of current status but you can find some of these performances on RU-vid, notably from a 2016 gig at the Iridium, such as: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VxsjEccHEwU.html It's just a loose, good-time performance, not an attempt to duplicate Steely Dan.

@CrashLandon1 2 года назад

Having listened to this song for decades, I can tell you that it's about recidivism - swearing off the stupid things that are ruining your life, and then turning around and doing those same stupid things again. I do think that the first verse is best thought of in an Old West setting - someone steals your water while you're riding the trail, you catch up to him and shoot him, etc. The other two verses can easily take place in modern times. I'm really enjoying your reactions to the music that I grew up with - and especially the lack of profanity. Thank you for that.

Steely Dan is not a person. It’s just the name of the band. They started out as a band and toured for a few years. In 1974, the band stopped touring and Fagen and Becker turned Steely Dan into a studio band using only the best session musicians to record every album from Katy Lied through Gaucho. The guitar solo is an electric sitar played by Denny Dias. Good reaction.

What’s crazy is they haven’t done any RECENT remastered vinyl releases in quite a long time. I can’t think of too many bands who earnestly deserve such treatment for their entire catalogue. 🤷 I mean, I would be snatching up 180g remasters and paying double even for some limited edition colored vinyl remasters if they ever got the notion to press em. A couple of other bands I’ve noticed haven’t been remastered or reissued in ages are Journey and Heart too.. I’m sure there’s quite a few more I can’t think of now, but wish this would happen with all of these great classic rock bands.

So great to see how much you guys enjoyed Steely Dan , I’m 54 and grew up listening to them since I was 5 . Their music is not only amazing but timeless as well . Unlike a lot of classic rock that in my opinion is way overplayed , I never get tired of these guys . They are certainly my favorite classic rock artist of all time . Thanks for reacting to them and by all means keep doing more of their stuff , u won’t be disappointed !!

@johnj2763 2 года назад

They were quite cool. For some reason I grabbed the 1st release/debut album hot off the shelves in '72. Like them so much that I had to get my best bud stoned out of his mind to get him to accompany me to a corner tavern ( what I think might be the Cask & Flagon) next to Fenway Park to see this group, no one had heard of before. There was no stage, they played on the floor surrounded by maybe 10 tables. There couldn't have been more than 30 people there. We chewed the fat with the guys in between sets. I remember Becker and Fagan as being very quiet , shy and rather up tight. I don't remember the organ make, but it was a small portable unit. They were familiar with Boston, I think one of them went to Berklee for a time and another to BU. One also mentioned having worked with Jay and the Americans. Palmer and the Skunk were cool and very approachable. Skunk actually had worked once in a music shop in Boston. I bought them beers. Great 1st album.

Great choice! They sing "you go back Jack, do it again." Each verse is about someone who keeps repeating bad behaviors, even though they lead to misery. Violence in the first verse, getting involved with women who will two-time you in the second verse, and gambling in the third verse. Great song! Btw, yes, Steeley Dan is the name of the group.

@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253 2 года назад

This band is actually just two guys. In the early years, like this song, they had a set band so to speak to play on the record and tour. But they then moved on to just hiring different studio musicians to play on their album and that gave the music a totally different feel. And the big thing for them was the production. The album Aja is lauded as being sonically one of the most sophisticated records ever. Its almost like the studio was an instrument iteself with this band. Their music had such a specific crispness. Many classic hip hop producers credit this band for lots of inspiration and samples.

@1dkappe 2 года назад

Those studio musicians were by and large amazing, like Larry Carlton. Many of them deserve songwriting credit, they were so involved. Bernard Purdie brought his “Purdie Shuffle” to Babylon Sisters and Home at Last. Groovy stuff.

@ashleycowen5104 2 года назад

That keyboard used in that solo at 5:30 has such a rich and diverse history. Harold Rhodes, the inventor of the Fender Rhodes Electric Piano, joined the Army Air Corps during WW2 where he would make keyboards from the aluminum of B-17 bomber planes and play his makeshift keyboards for bedridden soldiers. The Fender Rhodes electric piano was later use by Herbie Hancock (who was introduced to it by Miles Davis), and by Ray Charles in the Tail Feathers scene in Blues Brothers. It was used on the soundtrack of A Charlie Brown Christmas. It was also used in The Beatle's song Get back, by the Doobie Brothers, by The Doors, and of course, Steely Dan!

Yes, it also brings in some killer keyboard to complement the guitar, but it just makes that solo all the better! Steely Dan's "Do It Again" is just a phenomenal, groovin' rock tune from back in the day, and glad you got turned on to the band and this tremendous song, because they could play their asses off! ;)
