The Steely Damned 2: My Old School

One of the best guitar solos you'll ever see. The crowd goes wild in this video recorded at San Diego's Music Box on December 29, 2017. Hank Easton is a guitar god. I'm running stage camera, Sony FS7 is the 4K in back, and Josh manned the DSLR stage side for the horns.

I don't know who's having more fun: those on the stage or the ones in the audience.

I am always skeptical that a guitarist could do this song justice, but this guy not only easily nailed the solos but did a very impressive job improvising after the fade!! Skunk Baxter & Denny Diaz are geniuses & their work on Countdown to Ecstasy always engages my attention. Bravo to this entire group!!

Simply - FANTASTIC! Steely Dan my favourite band of all time! You guys absolutely nail it! Please come and tour the UK!

Amazing performance! My favorite Steely Dan song. Best cover I have ever heard.

Lordy the guitarist is on fire, what a great lineup

[billyf]

The guitar player is phenomenal. He didn't play the solos note for note like the original (like most great players covering this song) but in the correct style, made the leads his own. A very difficult task to do this good! Kudos for this excellent version. I have never seen a better one than this.

WOW! ... just f'n WOW! So well done, super tight, awesome guitar solo!!! Backup singers nailed it! Horn section rocked it!

[thomasmcgeehan]

Jesus!!! These folks are GOOD! I am a HUGE Dan Fan, and I’ve never seen anyone come this close.

[josephpereira]

Guitar player is phenomenal. Band is phenomenal.

[DonHornsby]

Wow. Simply wow! I would have loved to have been there at this show. One of the best (and most joyful) renditions of a Steely Dan song ever.

[jeffs.]

Wow. That was awesome. Those horns!, especially that cool fill later-on in the tune. Gave me chills. :)

I've never heard of these guys. Great Humorous Band Name. Outstanding Instrumentation. Those Horns Rock, The Guitarist is astounding - and I have been a studio guitarist from Manhattan to California and a lot of places in between - and this guy is amazing! Wow! What a great Band. I feel sorry for whoever had to map out all of those Horn Parts by listening to the Dan's Records. The General Public doesn't have the slightest idea what goes into making a Band like this happen. It is almost impossible to convey the amount of "Blood, Sweat & Tears" (forgive The Pun) that make these shows work. 3 Thumbs Up.

These guys truly are "Old School"...and that guitarist is incredibly funky and "Skunky"...the horns are awesome...terrific job, on a hard -to- duplicate masterpiece!

[danpatterson]

Horns nailed it. Vocals nailed it. Drummer nailed it. Guitar welded it.

[davidlodge]

Everyone looks as though they're having SUCH a good time! Brilliant! Throroughly excellent!

[CosmikDebrisFZ]

Damn!! That was incredible! I’m a huge fan of Steely Dan from day one and I can honestly say this is some of the best I’ve seen and heard. 👍🏻✌🏻

I’d like to hear Leonid and Friends cover this Steely Dan piece.

[willeigo]

I never knew this Old School guitar work could be so well replicated !

Our band used to do this song back in the 70's- we only had one sax player but our guitarist killed the solos like this guy. Glad I found you guys. Most excellent.
