I would have thought that seeing a song deconstructed like this would take some of its magic away, but, if anything, it just makes me appreciate it more!

Their music is like 'revenge of the studio nerds'. Their music still stands up today.

I am blessed with a boss that gives me complete control of the music that is played over the speakers and Steely Dan's complete recordings is played all the way through at least once a week. Not one of their songs is a dud.

Ya let’s embarrass Michael McDonald by playing his flawless higher vocal takes!! 7:27

Autotune is calibrated to Michael McDonald.

Rick’s groove and presicion and technique and feel is mindblowing - it looks relatively ‘easy’ but it is an extremely difficult beat to play correct on the drums, with the 3-stroke roll in between opening the hi-hat WOW. That’s why Walter and Donald picked his touch and feel and complexity for PEG

These players are definitely the best!

Rainy says they never knew he was slappin’ on that bridge, but I’m betting Becker and Fagen knew exactly what was going down on that song…and all the rest of them, too.

Yo dawg I heard you like chord changes. We put some chord changes on your chord change, so you can change chords when you change chords haha So hard to play this rhythm part

They were the masters of musical collaboration.

ED MOTTA

A Masterpiece of a Song!!!!!

Any band that is named after a dildo gets my attention...

AMAZING!!

Michael is the best vocal group ever..LOL

Absolutely!!!!😊

These studio players have to ask only one question. Were they getting paid?? That's it. They were always paid for their contribution whether it was used or not.

Love this song!

1:38 Your bass line still slaps, man. Don’t ever think anything different 😂

If you don’t create a work of timeless musical genius on the spot: “NEXT!”

I grew up in a music household. R&B fantastic bass player step father and singer mother. Lots of fun parties and my sister and I would play with the other kids. My mother use to play this band on the 8-track and stereo when I was a kid. I'm 50 now and listening to Steely Dan i just cant help but notice how their talents then still hold water today. As far as complexity goes and just attention to detail.

In my next realm I wanna be a sound engineer

Can anyone please tell me what makes the synth sound in this song?

What a phenomenal group

Michael (The truly Great) Mac Donald is so humble, he speaks of difficulty "discerning" the pitch of his harmonies. The man was the best of the business, at the time.

I was blown away by Walter Becker's explanation of the Syncopation between the bass and the kick, starting at 2:55. Tbh, I always had an affinity for that section of Peg, but never fully understood why. Much Appreciated 🔥👏

Saw Donald in Seattle right before the Covid nonsense and couple of years after Walter passed. It was great but I miss Walter. the Danettes did a great job. The Doobies opened for Steely Dan and their set was super tight. Everything but the Michael McDonald tunes.

4:20 is hysterical.

I actually liked the first guitar solo they played here a lot better than the one they used.

So many great SD songs, but this one always rises to the top of the list... Thanks for sharing!

I could hear only the Purdy Shuffle paired with Michael's Background singing and be perfectly fine with it.

fantastic!!!!

The look of controlled disgust on Fagens face when he says “you’d have to ask chuck about the thumb business” knowing damn well he told him not to slap, but he did it anyway

Musical geniuses!

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.

Don't slap. I'm gonna slap and you're gonna like it!

This is the definitive album of all time past, present and future. Have the best day ever! :)

This is my favorite song to perform at karaoke!

They never knew it went down!!!

I was 19 when came out. I had the vinyl, which was yellow, and the tape for my little MGB convertible. College time. Those were the years baby.

Norah Jones crushes every single song she ever does. She has absolutely amazing vocals and spectacular piano playing. After all these years since she first came out, she is still the most beautiful woman to ever walk the planet.. Nobody going back 3000 years from present day can even hold a candle to her beauty and talent. This is a woman right here..

The Purdie-Shuffle…becomes part of Jeff Porcaro‘s „Rosanna-Shuffle“ a couple of years later.

This is my favourite Steely song! I played it the day we moved to Spain! “..I know this super highway, this bright familiar sun, I guess that I’m the lucky one..”

Such good memories from college days. Late nights with headphones on, skipping studying LOL. Serious music by real musicians.

One of their least interesting songs.

😍🤌👌

7:16 I remember showing this to my ex, as she was trying out for a SD tribute band. She got the gig, then dumped me. 🤷‍♂️

Better musicians make better music.
