As a former professional classical musician, my greatest joy came from being able to manifest those monumental works of the greatest musical geniuses humanity has ever produced. I can only imagine what it must feel like to be able to reproduce note-for-note these SD masterpieces. You all have my deepest respect.
@@1957PLATO why's it a stretch? the mode and medium of musical genius shifts through time and they did it about as well as anyone could in their own unique way, musically and lyrically. and it resonates with a lot of people. that's brilliant, plain and simple.
Thank you! Steely Dan is the sound track to my life. I was 8 yrs old in 72 when I heard my first Steely Dan song and I was hooked. Thank you for keeping this music alive.
You guys do a great job of this. It is nice to see players who like to play quietly and know how to find the pocket. This performance is inspiring. Nice job guys.
I have seen you all at The Wildey Theater in Edwardsville, IL several times and it is always an outstanding show. Superb musicianship and showmanship. Looking forward to your next performance there.
Wow. Great cover. This song is a monster. The drum/sax solo was awesome. I'm usually disappointed by the drum fill but it was handled so well by NOT trying to emulate Steve Gadd but playing musically to the tune.
some of the most iconic drumming in a pop/rock song ever and Alex, you nailed it. A few extra rolls to put your mark on it as well as the rest of the guys. Awesome recreation
How? How the hell can anyone cover Aja and make it sound so painfully awesome?! This is incredible. Grinning ear to ear. I did not hear the famous Steve Gadd stick-click, however, so I'm a bit suspicious of THAT, but maybe I just missed it! Going to Patreon riiiight about now.
Best I've heard, and as a Dan fan I do not impress easily! The rhythm section was fantastic all around. I enjoyed both players. The vocalist on keys has a nicer, more natural voice than Fagen, IMO! though he never professed to be a true singer. Sax was also great here. Thanks from Nr. London UK 🎉
A new line up but still sounding great. I won't use all the audiophile mumbo jumbo and just say it was well worth piping it through my 3000 watt system so the whole neighborhood could hear it.
Steely Dan are reality poets and exceptional musicians than their contemporaries, particularly The Eagles, that sold millions. Steely Dan is the best; Brooklyn Charmers gives justice to their legacy. Great cover as always. Thanks.
This was so delightful. Not only were all the musicians killing it, but Colin Peterik's video direction and editing took me right where I wanted to go, visually speaking. Thank you all for creating this performance. You rock.
Thank you Brooklyn Charmers. Your music brings me tremendous joy. Thank you for sharing your unbelievable talent with the world. Rock (or Jazz) on my brothers!
I don't think I've ever heard Steely Dan covered so perfectly.
The Brooklyn Charmers have easily become the best cover band I've ever seen
EASILY
Look at this th-cam.com/video/6VbU2IQ2n_E/w-d-xo.html
I used to think that, but there's a lot of other stuff out there on TH-cam . not just Steely Dan but all types of bands
@@palmsofdestin1 Everybody’s got their niche and they fill theirs very well.
@@palmsofdestin1So true but parts of this version are quite good.

Ex ballerina understand musicians
Did. Prima twice😮😊
Scary
I love Steely Dan very, very much but to call them them the greatest musical geniuses is a bit of a stretch.

Same here, and liked them more as I got older.
Brings back the best memories of my young life in the valley.
The best❤
I was 10 and it had the same effect on me.
"Can't Buy A Thrill " was the first album I ever bought myself. It, and everything they've done since is magical.
You guys do a great job of this. It is nice to see players who like to play quietly and know how to find the pocket. This performance is inspiring. Nice job guys.

An incredible reproduction of what is some difficult music to play. Timing, performance both vocally and instrumentally were amazing.
Covered beautifully. Congratulation!
Picking up jaw from the floor.
Guys seriously this gave me chills. One of the best rock songs of all time. Steve Gadd !! You guys are sooooo good. Talent !!!!
honey wake up, the charmers just posted
Holy Shit guys! Incredible
Wow. Great cover. This song is a monster. The drum/sax solo was awesome. I'm usually disappointed by the drum fill but it was handled so well by NOT trying to emulate Steve Gadd but playing musically to the tune.
Thanks for this!
One of SD’s hardest pieces to reproduce.
You fellas do it real justice 💕
👏👏👏👏👏
You guys are amazing!!! I won’t stop following you from now on!!!👌🏻
some of the most iconic drumming in a pop/rock song ever and Alex, you nailed it. A few extra rolls to put your mark on it as well as the rest of the guys. Awesome recreation

Goosebumps! 🤘
Well well well, turns out they DO make 'em like they used to -- really impressive, fellas.
THIS IS SO GOOD

It takes Americans to cover Steely Dan. Well done.
Actually Canadians can cover SD as well.
😀
WOW
The math behind the guitarist in the middle of the solo had me rolling. Amazing performance and a sub well earned🤣🤘
Beeutifull
Incredible! Probably their most difficult song and you guys nailed it!

lololol the floating math equations during the dias solo is 10/10
Brilliant guys, just stumbled into this, 👌

YOOOOO The ending solo was really reminiscent of something I feel like Christopher Cross would've thrown down on the track. SHEEEESH.
Amazing amazing amazing
Sounds amazing
Woff!!!!
This is the quintessential Brooklyn Charmers tune.
Sensational! Wow!
Best Steely Dan cover I've ever heard
Certainly a lot of work. Well done.
Perfect. Just. Perfect. Wayne Shorter, Denny Dias, Walter Becker, Steve Gadd all played on this track. And you nailed it!
A+ 💯 for sure!
Fantastic guys.
Amazing ...
Braaavvvooooo!!!
Those 2-stroke rolls tho...so smooth...
Brilliant ❤

Wow!!!!
I finally find you! wonderful!
Wow! fantastic. when will you be charming us in Brooklyn?
The combination of the sax and the drums is nothing but magical. And the vocal speaks the story. It’s like something everyone should hear.
Excellence, great drumming.
Steely Dan...music worth playing!
