Love me Steely Dan...music is so captivating.

[cowfunk]

Not catching Walter Becker while he was still on this planet with us was a mistake I’ll never recover from…. Love you Walter!

[NJFloyd]

Solid tune. aja is a masterpiece. one of the most underrated and over looked albums ever

[nulife]

It took Becker and Fagen a year to finish "Aja" What a masterpiece

[caioraphaeloliveira]

It"s such an honor to live in a world with Donald Fagen.

[joant]

the best. this reminds me of my sister lois. she passed at 23. back in 1987. we'd listen to this over and over. so miss her the times the music

[allindforeignmovie]

Cornelius Bumpus is the most sax player name i've ever heard

[ISS]

Best music band in the world. Nothing could ever hold a candle to Steely Dan.

[martianshoes]

In the musical side pop culture between 1970 and 1980; when there were crossovers from almost every genre’….Steely Dan made one of the biggest and best defined statements for their “niche”. In that decade radio spewed out country rock, bubble gum, hard rock, progressive, TV show themes, folk, “ socially conscious” tracks; all flavors.
Steely Dan didn’t change the world or even change the game.
But for 99% of the music of their active period - the “shelf life”…… the timelessness of their music stands up better now than all the Top Ten of that era. A sincere, non-delitante love of jazz and a perfectionist approach to recording quality combined to make their works totally listenable even today….45 years after “Aja”….

When we wanted to test a speakers sound you played the Dan. They were perfectionist.

[todddavis-bbsu]

[Furiothewonderhusky]

I was there! I still think Steely Dan is the greatest band ever. RIP Walter Becker. You guys got me through college, bad jobs, worse relationships and some pretty awesome times. 😁❤️

[JonBDD]

Damn!!!! This is one of my favorite songs! Rarely have I heard a "live" version of any song that is so close to the studio version, but they did Man I like this!!!

[RMR]

Cornelius Bumpus -- the man playing that sweet sax solo -- died just 6 months after this performance. He had a heart attack on a flight from New York to Los Angeles, where he was scheduled to perform. The plane made an emergency landing in Iowa, with an ambulance waiting for it on the runway, but Bumpus died a few minutes after landing. Just 58 years old. Gone far too soon but forever memorialized in his music. RIP.

[derekseven]

I'm glad to have been in a world and a time when this music was made

[flstffatboy]

Keith Carlock on drums 🥁 as good as it gets

[JoyMinistryy]

Thank you Donald Fagan...intelligence and talent in a world gone crazy

[kualua]

RIP Walter and Cornelius. Making beautiful music in heaven!

[williambeck]

Wow, Cornelius's sound. What a great tenor sax player!

[ThomasHooghe]

Steely dan fans were like a secret brotherhood!
