  • From the full rehearsal video for the Plush Jazz Rock TV concert production just prior to the release of the Two Against Nature album. Thanks to Warren Weinberg for the original concert rehearsal video, available at • Video
    This performance did not make it onto the final version of the concert video. A shame, as it is a very good version where Walter Becker's guitar playing is featured. I always liked the song and wanted this version to be seen.
    Rest in peace, Walter, and thank you.

      You got that right. This song is a masterpiece musical composition that, to be honest, hasn't been matched since 1978. Nobody did it like the Dan.

    Standards are so low nowadays that I don't think Steely Dan would become mainstream as they were in the 70s, too cerebral, dry and sophisticated. A tight groove provided by the late great Ricky Lawson together with Walter's tasty guitar licks weighing in. Superb performance as always.

    • @noogagoose7750
      @noogagoose7750 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Agreed 100%. Couldn’t have summed that up better myself. These guys never get old and their incredible sound will always remain apart from any other band (ever!). A band that was always meant to fly below the radar for mainstream (IMO) and definitely unsurpassed IMO.

    I love practically everything I’ve seen of this “concert” made for an album release-yes, I have the DVD-but the changes Donald makes to the phrasing in the chorus of this song do not work for me. They are changes made solely for the sake of changing something, I believe. Too bad, because they distract from a masterpiece of a song. I can see why this one was left off the DVD.

They were cast as a couple of gays( not that there's anything wrong with it) of course Sir Sean dispatched them with low key British wit and a rather tasty Bombe. ( the fancy French pastry you Igors ) watch it I found it amusing especially when they held hands after killing a helicopter pilot. Most casual violence and implied sex which is how prefers Bond Movie. Dry even droll funnies then someone dies. Nice...
