I played with Larry Carlton for 5 years starting in 1961. He is still the coolest most laid back musician I ever worked with and he fits Steely Dan like a glove. Jerry LaFavor, drumer
Just recently started studying Larry and let me say...Man what an incredibly tasteful and wonderful guitar player. Needless to say I have a lot to learn lol
This life really throws you some curves, losing Walter had really saddened me, Fagen and Becker are geniuses, they created a new vibrant and unique style and sound of Jazz/vocal/piano and wind instruments we've never heard before. Steely Dan is my favorite instrumental band.
Listening to Steely Dan music slows the aging process. It's just such laid back and sophisticated harmony. It's a single malt triple scotch with no aftereffects.
R.I.P. Walter Becker. your musical genius and exquisite wit will be sorely missed. heaven will be having one heck of a jam session with you on board. I hope Donald will carry on......i know that's what you would have wanted.🎶🎶🎶
Walter Becker's finding himself in the studio with world-class sessions guys for the first time and thinking, "Wow, I'm really outclassed here," is such an education. The moment where you realize that a normal-looking person is a talented, experienced, musical genius...such a Salieri-meets-Mozart-for-the-first-time experience. Add that to the fact that there were several of them in the room.
bernard is a true professional....they give him a bunch of guidelines but say they dont know exactly what they want...and he immediately rises to the occassion
It's great to hear these back-stories: "Essentially, we just wrote a little blues about Ulysees." Intonation meets intelligence...it's a beautiful thing.
I swear Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey make one of the best bass-drums duos in Jazz/Funk. Music, period. And this album is only one piece of evidence.
Bernard is a riot. Met him a few times in NYC. A real character. The secret of the Purdie Shuffle is that the Hi hat and Kick are pushing the beat while the snare drum is sightly behind. Sounds easy but very tough to do.
This examination of the premier Steely Dan 70’s album “Aja” is wonderful because you have the original players here interviewed while still living. Great job VH 1 !!
Purdie: treasure trove of experience. Listening to him play is awesome, but to look at him play makes it inevitable to think of him as just a natural-born player.
Purdie is such a smooth cat ! Confident but not arrogant, he's the kind of guy any band would love to play with and learn from. He's playing a kind of 6/8 rhythm that doesn't sound like a shuffle but is a hybrid between a shuffle and a Rastafarian reggae feel. He's playing lots of rhythmic notes on his hi-hat which are subtle, behind the instruments which are playing fewer chords on the downbeats. This tune could be a challenge for any recording engineer to blend the instruments, but at no point does Bernard try to make this his tune by overplaying....the importance of the tune comes before the importance of any of it's players, including singers. P.S. I love the fact that Bernard Purdie uses his drumsticks as extensions of his expressive hands as he talks to the camera....any real expressive artist will use their instrument as an extension of their hand when talking......writers with pen in hand, architects with pencil in hand, teachers with chalk in hand, etc.
I saw Bernard Purdie sit in and play "Home At Last" and "Babylon Sisters" with a Steely Dan cover band several years ago. When he's at the drums, the dude struts sitting down. It's amazing. His whole body is involved. It's like he's strutting down the street in NYC, or something. It was incredible to see and hear. I think that is what it takes to be so amazing. You have to involve your whole self. Hope you all get to see this master at work in person sometime, if you haven't already.
@CribNotes None of those guys will own that song any more than the collective. SD has ALWAYS been about the collective. That's why it has always worked so well.
If you listen to this song one instrument at a time the precision is amazing. If you just close your eyes and take it all in, it is quite a beautiful tune. Kudos to all for a timeless masterpiece!
Notice Fagan’s comment of “This won’t be easy...” when Becker begins to tout Purdie’s contribution. I took that to mean that, while there’s no doubt of his drumming talents...dealing with his boisterous ego might’ve been challenging. But this is probably my favorite SD tune thanks to Purdie’s gorgeous groove. So that over-abundant “confidence” paid off handsomely.
I think he says "This isn't easy.." just adding to how amazing his playing is. But Bernard is prob quite a character when he's in a session laying down tracks
Was really hoping to hear the isolated Vibraphone track for this song. It's such a beautiful song, and the vibes really make it even if you don't notice them right off the bat.
these guys are classic about ambiguous lyrics which paint an image and a concept which has a loose theme. They leave it up to the imagination of the listener...so to answer your question: to me it is about being homesick for New York while in L.A. ,,,throw a little Homer and a little Purdie shuffle ...and...there it is...
This DVD was the first time I ever saw Purdie. He won me over with swagger. I love how much it sounds like he's listing all these great artists to compare them to Steely Dan, but it turns out he's just listing his own achievements. It's brilliant
I hung out with Bernard a couple of times over the years, and you will not meet a nicer, cooler guy. Being one to the world's most amazing drummers doesn't hurt either.
This song and so many DAN songs come from such a sophisticated place. It's a Greek-mythological-half-double-time-shuffle-blues-ballad. Here's one for you: Name that tune: Spanish-pre-historic-cave-painting-hollywood-pop-jazz. God, I love Steely Dan! Love these vids!
It's nice to see the studio-magic explained. Most people have no idea how a real record (CD) is made. Those musicians are great, especially Mr. Bernard Purdie (drummer). Finally, someone is giving him the praise he rightfully deserves.
a friend of mine played on a session with Bernard in NYC in the mid 60s. He said Bernard came in with a sidewalk sign (if you know NY, you know that it folds up and is about 3 feet high) that said "World's Greatest Drummer". And he was...I think it was a Monkees session.
There's a certain coolness in doing what you love in life. Listening to musicians the caliber of this you can tell it's not done for money or fame, that just happens to come along for the ride. Its the love of music that you feel from these guys that makes you respect them and their artistry.
In the past it was all about love and care, now its all about money. Its a mirror on how humanity lives these days. Purely identifying with their minds and putting childeren in a school to get mind slaves aswell. No room for creativity. Never get enough, destroying the earth to forfill there ever needing more and more. With these video`s you can see what the heart is. Care and attention.
Bernard "Pretty" Purdie & Chuck Rainey = One of the THE best drums-bass tandems in Jazz/Funk/Soul/R&B. Just listen to Steely Dan's recordings like this one and The Royal Scam. Somebody back me up please.
@@julienchick8556 As great as Purdie is, he NEVER played with the Beatles, at least according to Paul. Steely Dan is my favorite act, EXCEPT for The Beatles. Am I wrong?
To be honest, I agree in that you've just got to let Bernard Purdie go. He doesn't need to be told what to do similar to Shorter on Aja. Just give them the part and let them play. They're musicians, not school teachers. They don't need to have things explained to them as though they're children. It was the same with Pastorius and Metheny. Just give them the gig. No "student" is going to better them.
Oh yes, the cultural divide between New York City and Southern California. There are more New York transplants in Orange County, CA, than any county in the United States, and yet despite everyone's yapping about how great NYC is, nobody moves back. My only criticism of Walter and Donald is that I think they spent a little bit too much time in recording studios, and not enough time exploring Los Angeles. As Billy Bob Thornton once said, there is a real "soul" to Los Angeles, but you don't get it unless you have lived there for a long time and have sought it out. One of the major differences between L.A. and NYC is that L.A. people are reserved and more private. So it's harder to get to know them. I think Donald and Walter mistook that for superficiality, but again, I just think they spent so much time in recording studios that they never were going to get a proper perspective on Los Angeles. I still hate the song "Show Bizz Kids." Like NYC really does any better job of helping it's homeless people than L.A. does? I didn't see the Sex In The City girls helping out at soup kitchens that much. Checkout the real estate and apartment prices in NYC. That's going to attract a yuppie culture. I think the NYC they imagined in 1973 no longer exists.
Oh c'mon. We can see you're a Purdie fan, so am I. But they asked him in because he's a great drummer. But that song stands on its own. Purdie makes it taste better, but any number of the SD Drummers would have done something to make the song unique. Porcaro, Gadd, Marotta and the many others. It's not a reggae tune, so that's kind of a silly comparison. But if it were attempted, Becker and Fagen and the rest, could make it happen. It's always been the collective of ever-changing musicians.
That's a patented beat, the so-called "Purdie Shuffle". I would challenge anyone to mix in a different drumbeat at that tempo on Home At Last and make it not sound completely stupid. Imagine it with a reggae beat in your head.... What else can you really use at that tempo? I say Purdie OWNED that song because without him making that song what it was, I doubt SD would have included it on the Aja album at all.
The beat is called the "Purdie Shuffle." Bonham was an awesome enough musician to appreciate it and was discerning and respectful enough to add his own style to it and make it his own... and not merely copy. (Same way with Porcaro.) Good musicians are often inspired by each other's work, and they occasionally quote each other (Another example is Phil Collins drumming for Genesis. He always spoke highly of R&B groups like Kool and the Gang, and he totally gave props to drummers whose beats he adapted for Genesis [like the Weather Report beat he used on "Wot Gorilla" off "Wind and Wuthering."]).
I read in this new book, The Nightfly, that Fagen based his singing style, even his body language, on Ray Charles. It's one of those things that would never even occur to you but once somebody mentions it, it's so obvious!
An era of mastermusician's,Larry Carlton,Chuck Rainey,etc,listen to larry's opening rift on Michael Franks-"The Lady want's to know",Chuck's bassline,on Bobbi Humphrey's-"Harlem River Drive".Donald Fagen's piano chord's on "Home at Last",capture the essence of the song.
Thanks for the wonderful reference to Michael Franks. He's always been one of my favorites. Thinking about it, he was similar to Steely Dan in using top flight session players. Carlton added allot to both artists work.

I hope he's a nice guy.. almost all top level studio musicians are complete assholes personally
Proove it it I played with 15 recordnig artists abd will prove it
NNd will lcrovd it
@@MRSAGFLY54 But you just never mastered spelling or the ability to type. Congrats!
I like how casually Purdie brings up he has the perfect groove for the song because of course he does.
This life really throws you some curves, losing Walter had really saddened me, Fagen and Becker are geniuses, they created a new vibrant and unique style and sound of Jazz/vocal/piano and wind instruments we've never heard before. Steely Dan is my favorite instrumental band.
Purdie is definitely one of the best drummers of all time. His beat on this song is totally mesmerizing. :)
💯 % agree. Listen to Zeppelin playing "Fool in the Rain," some similarities there. Purdy and Bonham, both incredible
Listening to Steely Dan music slows the aging process. It's just such laid back and sophisticated harmony. It's a single malt triple scotch with no aftereffects.
Amen 😂
no after effects apart from a good buzz lol
Purdie shuffle!! I love you Bernard!! Master!!! God Bless you!❤❤👏
Damn...that drummer knows his shit

AJA will be another timeless album. Still listening to it 45 years later... Really a work of genius....
purdie raided bill cosby's sweater closet
lol... oh yes he did.
bernard is a true professional....they give him a bunch of guidelines but say they dont know exactly what they want...and he immediately rises to the occassion
It's great to hear these back-stories:
"Essentially, we just wrote a little blues about Ulysees."
Intonation meets intelligence...it's a beautiful thing.
What cracks me up is how the editor fades out Purdie as he lists off his collabs. The unedited version lasts for the entire length of Aja
I swear Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey make one of the best bass-drums duos in Jazz/Funk. Music, period. And this album is only one piece of evidence.
Timeless song. This album was a masterpiece.
Steely Dan brought up all the best in these musicians
They did. But they also tested their patience at times. :-) Which is fair enough, it's their name, they're entitled to expect the best.
I could listen to that Purdie Shuffle all day long.
Purdie listing bands he played with is just priceless. I love "Burdie"... Such a character.
Bernard is a riot. Met him a few times in NYC. A real character. The secret of the Purdie Shuffle is that the Hi hat and Kick are pushing the beat while the snare drum is sightly behind. Sounds easy but very tough to do.
This album was perfection....
This examination of the premier Steely Dan 70’s album “Aja” is wonderful because you have the original players here interviewed while still living. Great job VH 1 !!

He's arrogant as helllll. Just look up "bernard purdie beatles".
He NEVER played with The Beatles. He only wishes. DAN is my second favorite group, right behind The Beatles.
@@JB19504 steely dan was way better than the beatles
When Purdie plays drums, he looks like a cat rubbing up against its owner's legs. It just feels GOOD!
My favorite track on the whole album. That guitar solo kills me all the time. Just beautiful. Home At Last.
that solo
It's definitely one of my favorites
Rest in peace Walter Becker
Steely dan = Musical PERFECTION !
Gawd! Purdie at 3:52 is the best thing I've seen on TH-cam in months - maybe evvvvvaaaaa. Sweet Mother of God.
Is this my favorite Steely Dan song? MAYBE every time I hear it..................................

None of those guys will own that song any more than the collective. SD has ALWAYS been about the collective. That's why it has always worked so well.
Quite possibly the best ever 'making of' vid of a music album
Takes a big ego to drive such a slow tempo on a tune like "Home At Last".
One of my favs... So relaxing. I love all the works of Steely Dan!
If you listen to this song one instrument at a time the precision is amazing. If you just close your eyes and take it all in, it is quite a beautiful tune. Kudos to all for a timeless masterpiece!

Yes, just before he mentioned The Beatles.
@@julienchick8556 As great as Purdie is, he NEVER played with the Beatles, at least according to Paul. Steely Dan is my favorite act, EXCEPT for The Beatles. Am I wrong?
Jeffrey, agreed. I think his wires got crossed somewhere. The Beatles never recorded in the states.
I'd love to hear this version the whole way through. Purdie is a beast, and Walt's quote at the beginning is perfect.
I've never heard of Bernard before, but his drumming kicks total and complete arse!!!
Rip Walter Becker

You're damn right he is! Absolutely fantastic drummer with just a touch of arrogance. Confidence in your self always pays off!
wow! singers/songwriters who take thought and care to craft timeless music, not just a team of ppl pumping out hits to only make money.
I like how he performs "laid back".
Is there a part 2 to this?
Why is the documentary cut short mid sentence? Is there a redirect somewhere? A Part Two?
john k. It's the "Aja classic albums" documentary, it's 40 minutes long and it is available on youtube under that name
I have the complete DVD and,....yeah it bugs me too.
i love this song
Purdie really should talk himself up a bit more
Totally. Dude is the humblest most accomplished man ever. Loves to teach and explain his craft to people like us!
Outstanding. But you know, The Dan had a plethora of great drummers. Bernard, Rick Marotta, Steve Gadd, Keith Carlock. I know I'm leaving out some.
Jeff Porcaro played all the drums on Katy Lied.
The Purdie-Shuffle…becomes part of Jeff Porcaro‘s „Rosanna-Shuffle“ a couple of years later.

@ 4:20 The shuffle he's playing is John Bonham's shuffle. (R.I.P.)
Purdie was around long before. Bernard played HIS shuffle, and if anything Bonham aped it for Fool in the Rain. Just like Porcaro did for Toto.
That's absolutely correct. Bonham & Porcaro were both well aware of Purdie, & just modified it a little to fit their needs. Purdie came first.
The beat is called the "Purdie Shuffle." Bonham was an awesome enough musician to appreciate it and was discerning and respectful enough to add his own style to it and make it his own... and not merely copy. (Same way with Porcaro.) Good musicians are often inspired by each other's work, and they occasionally quote each other (Another example is Phil Collins drumming for Genesis.

am i the only 4 year old who's favorite band is steely dan?
😂😂
Whose.
I read in this new book, The Nightfly, that Fagen based his singing style, even his body language, on Ray Charles. It's one of those things that would never even occur to you but once somebody mentions it, it's so obvious!
Home at Last is a masterpiece, not just a great song. I covered it with my band and we barely scratched the surface of its richness and subtlety.
there is only ONE Pretty Purdie....he owns that groove, he should get royalties anytime anyone tries to play that nasty...
I've asked this before, but I've still not had a proper response. Have Steely Dan ever written a bad song? Answers on the back of a postage stamp.
Why do i feel like half the lyrics from 1612 by Vulfpeck were taken from this video?
Very Pure. Theres so much class in their music.
"That put me in the mood for a little funk." Amen!

Purdie is like a fucking professor. respect.
Are one of my best prefer group
The song that late led me to Steely Dan. Maybe my love for the Odyssey.
These players are definitely the best!
Purdie OWNS this song. Even more than Fagen and Becker.
Can anyone please tell me what makes the synth sound in this song?
Complex! Totally complex!👍🏻
Georg "Jojje" Wadenius! :D
A magical. favourite track.

LVOE it
Would love to see this whole jam session.

so is the song about L.A. or new york
Is that river sound??
Utter brilliance.
