    Nobody, and I mean nobody, says hey guys let’s cover Bodhisattva and everyone says great idea. The song is a master class in groove and guitar pyrotechnics courtesy of Denny Dias and Skunk Baxter. And you guys nailed it. Right down to the “look out!” I bow to you. Well played sirs, 🎶👏👏👏👏

      its a beast to get right.

    As a 65+-year old Steely Dan fan from back in the 70s, I gotta say that seeing this huge amount of talent and love for great music among your generation gives me hope for mankind! Fantastic job (and at a crazy tempo here)!!

      ​@@lesmatheson6001They were much better as a live outfit in the last five or six years before Walter's passing.
      Saw them live in Australia in 07 and 11, and in the US in 14. The first show was as you described, but the latter two you could tell they'd honed their stagecraft.
      They went from merely playing their songs on stage, to putting on a complete performance.
