It is depressing that something of this quality has less than 7,500 views in a year. How f%ing good do you have to be to get noticed? This is TOP NOTCH stuff here.
David Gerber I know your post was 3 years ago, but the reason for the lack of views is because there not that good. Listen to some of the Steely Dan tribute bands on YT. I think you’ll see what I mean.
Yeah, they were spot on! The lead singer--if she's the one farthest to the right--is particularly professional, and I enjoyed how she clearly was into it.
The lead singer is quite impressive. Not only virtually technically flawless, but the emotional connection to the material and phrasing so well done. I wish I could sing like that.
Geoff Bosco the first line is wrong, he simply sings the wrong notes for “to the sea”... the rhythm is consistently execrable, the second iteration of “so fine so young” ends horribly flat, where is your ear?
@@JeremyAndersonBoise Dude, you're being very picky....no that's not even the right word...what you're being is catty. I get it you don't like the singer and I do. Big fucking deal. Show me a live performance of this with Donald Fagen that has better intonation.
Decided on a whim to listen to this instead of the original, and put it through the Bass amp instead of the regular desktop speakers. Some mean drumming, and funky bass, loved the brass ensemble. What an excellent version this is!
I have been a huge S.D. fan since 1973 and I must say, this is so well done that it's hard to believe at first...but...@3:14 chills ran down my body. It IS that beautifully done. Babylon Sisters is not an easy piece to play right (I guess none of them really are) but Sam Bidgood & Co. nails it. It's a shame that more people haven't found out how good this ensemble REALLY is. So professional.
Really like the drummer. I’ve heard some live incarnations of the Dan band and his chops are better than a couple of the “pros” on the tour. Great job Folks!
Yeah man it's pretty Damn Good, but give yourself a treat and check out 'Stanlee Dee ' on Utube they're a tribute band from the South of England, but they are so much more!!!...
After many plays. I can confirm this fact. That's cover is really good. But the most amazing is the lead voice. Really man ! Your voice is 80% of the reason why I get back again to lesson that tune.
Nice job by everyone involved. Not sure about the vocal harmonies on “tell me I’m the only one”. Horns sound good, I like the leads voice, overall a very good band. You guys and gals are doing nice work.
Ambitious, and completely successful, my compliments! If this was a live recording, huge kudos to both the producer of the audio, and the director of the video, to say nothing of the prodigious talents of the performers. FLAWLESS.
I return to this video clip often - these guys just nail it! One of my favorite bands (S Dan) and one of many fav. songs. The drums (I play), vocals, horns... and video production (!) captures a great feel. I would pay to see these cats perform any day! very fine.
ARE U KIDDING ME?!! Not ONLY did you and ALL of your Band Mates; Nail It! BUT, you made it, ALL your own! ~~~Beautifully Done!~~~ God Bless and God Speed! :-)
This is absolutely outstanding musicianship..... PLEASE make a lot of people happy and do another one-and then another....quite simply one of the best SD covers I’ve heard on YT X
Bravo!! Bravo!!! I give you a standing ovation. Well orchestrated and produced. I almost like this version better than the original. Great job guys and gals.
ooooooohhhhhh that was so nice and smooth and expertly and professionally done.👏👏👏👏👏👏,bravo, bravo, BELLISIMO, well done young people. Steely Dan is class and sophistication, this is how you do it. Pleased do continue, the horns, the vocals,.the drummer,.now he was so laid back. Look at that horn with the thingamajig at the end of it, (not the trombone, the other horn)I haven't seen that in long, long time, look at the rich sound it added. Keep going ya'll, keep going, and keep reaching back to the past and bringing back good music Peace ✌
Certainly the best cover of this tune and in the running for possibly the best cover Ever of any Dan tune ! Wow
Wow.. The drummer literally holds this song together and the backup singers are what makes it... Outstanding.
Absolutely flawless. 🤯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I can never figure it out. Two squirrels playing on a wire; 6 million views. It doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't sell shoes....

Not depressing. Just reality. Not many climb to these heights, and when you get there, the air is thin and only specialised life forms can survive.
Seriously ...how good do you have to be to get Noticed .
Wow, young peoples whith this great song, i like it!
The background women singers on this are just amazing. The beat on this is spot on.
I have been to many Dan concerts and this is spot on. Great Perdie shuffle
Excellent guys and gals... NOT an easy gig! Love the drumming, tastefully done!
yes, VERY good drumming
A lovely 'Purdie Shuffle' ... (I love the way he reacts to the little fluff at 3.10!
Jonathan Ryan - aw, share your thoughts with the rest of us...
drummer was really the highlight for me
...good singing 2.
Wow great cover! Bravo to you all. The lead singer has a great voice.
Brilliant stuff
This is really ambitious and cannot really be faulted, about as good as a faithful cover can be. Inspirational.
How gorgeous! Slick, sleek, smooth...the lady singers are, as a given, always in Steeleydanland , simply fabulous.
When the Backup Singers Hit their Santa Anna Winds Verse they Sound just Like the Real thing Great job
Yeah, they were spot on! The lead singer--if she's the one farthest to the right--is particularly professional, and I enjoyed how she clearly was into it.
She has a bit of Babylon in her perhaps. Especially the cartoon eyebrows that some of the girls wear today. I'd like to see her tats.
The lead singer is quite impressive. Not only virtually technically flawless, but the emotional connection to the material and phrasing so well done.
I wish I could sing like that.

Geoff Bosco 100%. Vocal qualities of a pro. He'd have a record deal if this was the 70's.
You said it.
@@JeremyAndersonBoise Dude, you're being very picky....no that's not even the right word...what you're being is catty. I get it you don't like the singer and I do. Big fucking deal. Show me a live performance of this with Donald Fagen that has better intonation.
@@JeremyAndersonBoise It's a cover version lad, not an exact replica. Doubt he's done it by accident.
I bet that was fun!!
This is phenomenal.
Excellent work. Great horns, great vocals, awesome drums, super-bitchin' Star Wars shirt.
Love this much guys and gals....so classy and so "groovy"....great job...James
Dripping with class ,pure quality
Decided on a whim to listen to this instead of the original, and put it through the Bass amp instead of the regular desktop speakers. Some mean drumming, and funky bass, loved the brass ensemble. What an excellent version this is!
BRAVO!😱😮
Great mood song, well done
The days of original masterpieces, like this, are long gone. I'm just happy to have lived through it in real time..
Wow, this really, really Good. Just discovered this.
Fantastic! I am a jazz chromatic harmonica player and play the tune. I love Steeley Dan.
Here on May 5, 2023. May your music never get old.
Those backing singers are beautiful!
Bravo! Really well done team. One of my all time faves.
SD fan since their first album. My favorite band for decades. This cover is amazing. Drumming is perfect. Those backup singers are fire!
Impressive. I didn't think anyone but the Dan could do this song justice. Cover more Dan please.
Excellent rendition, the lead back vocals lady is great...

WTF?
I'm dumb struck.
That was incredible.
Any Steely Dan cover is no small feat but, WOW! You fuckin' Nailed It!
Quality work🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🙌🙌🙌👌👌👈👈👈👈👈👈👌👌👌
Really like the drummer. I’ve heard some live incarnations of the Dan band and his chops are better than a couple of the “pros” on the tour. Great job Folks!
I'm glad that my Fez was on when I viewed this! Nice musicianship and great video production.
I get it
@@toastkirby She didn't then ..
I glad nobody made john do it without the Fez on.
John, do you wanna be our holy man?
This song best captures the feel of LA in the evening dusk. Great job all!!!
One of the best covers of any SD song on TH-cam. By far.
Yeah man it's pretty Damn Good, but give yourself a treat and check out 'Stanlee Dee ' on Utube they're a tribute band from the South of England, but they are so much more!!!...
Wow, phenomenal cover all around! Everyone did an excellent job. As someone mentioned, the backup singers really nailed it and evoked the original.
Loved this. Group all very talented.
Big Steely Dan fan here and I have to say you guys nailed it! ladies...beautiful harmonies.
Yeah, that vocal mix is stoopid!! 👍👍
So good! You have to be fierce to sell the "you've got to shake it" outro but these girls have it in spades!
It must be cool to hang out with such talented friends … who all decide to perform this amazing piece … so amazingly. :-)
After many plays. I can confirm this fact. That's cover is really good. But the most amazing is the lead voice. Really man ! Your voice is 80% of the reason why I get back again to lesson that tune.
This is just a phenomenal video and band - never gets old... every portion is solidly fine!
Great cover...excellent drum part! Good!
Gotta love it, flippin sick job guys! You can hear the care that was put into every part!
This just popped up for me in August, 2022. Very nicely done!
Oh, WOW, that was excellent...one of my favorite 'Steely Dan' songs...and you guys did it great justice...well done!!! 💗💗💗
It's so smooth I'm pretty sure I'm melting to my chair. The louder I play it the smoother it gets.
Amazing job everyone. Steely Dan...in a class all their own.
great band!
That was TREMENDOUS!!! Thank you for that. Keep em coming!!!
music has the most amazing power to make feel good. Thank you Walter and Donald
Nice job by everyone involved. Not sure about the vocal harmonies on “tell me I’m the only one”. Horns sound good, I like the leads voice, overall a very good band. You guys and gals are doing nice work.
OK, you guys are scary good.
Amazing stuff! Youse are all so talented! Love it!
some serious musicians there.too good to go unnoticed.
Ambitious, and completely successful, my compliments!
If this was a live recording, huge kudos to both the producer of the audio, and the director of the video, to say nothing of the prodigious talents of the performers.
FLAWLESS.
Spectacular job everyone! Absolutely loved it!!
Beautiful performance. I enjoyed that a lot.
Absolutely loved this ❤
Holy shit!!! Nailed perfectly

Possibly my favourite song and this version is FANTASTIC.
Great job! Steely Dan is a fabulous band and has certainly had a big influence on our song writing and approach to production. You nailed this one :-)

Wow! Thank you TH-cam algorithm for hooking me up with this masterpiece. I will be watching this a lot I know... 🙌🏻

Damn, are we lucky that you all found each other to make this kind of music, and have it captured this well by Graeme Young and David Horne!
Great tone on the Bass--"Santa Ana winds" magical--well done---lead vocals outstanding--
.
...this has gone to my library of 2019.
Everyone was great I don't think you could have done it any better, one of my favorite songs keep rocking from St Louis Mo 👍✌
Tears of joy, love it yall
Great cover! It always cracks me up when someone from another country sings about our Santa Ana winds here in California or nights in “TJ”.
ARE U KIDDING ME?!! Not ONLY did you and ALL of your Band Mates; Nail It! BUT, you made it, ALL your own! ~~~Beautifully Done!~~~ God Bless and God Speed! :-)
