Denny Dias did indeed play an electric sitar on this song!
Seriously??? I need to see a picture of that thing!
@@LegacyStudio Look up the Coral Electric Sitar - a lot of people were using them back in that era, but this is probably the best solo ever recorded with one. Steve Howe of Yes used one on Close to the Edge.
You're gonna attract Dan fans like flies...
No doubt
Im totally ok with that :0) Everyone is welcome ;0)Thanks for your comments!
Flies with intelligence and discernment.
This is BY FAR my favorite Steely Dan tune - and unlike some other classic rock songs which I have overplayed over the years I have never gotten sick or even bored of it. I love the very psychedelic part at just before and after the 5:00 mark on this video.
Agreed
Denny Dias, one of the original 1972 band members on electric sitar. I recently watched a You Tube vid with a guitarist playing virtually every SD solo. I asked him who was the most complex, challenging and difficult SD guitarist to emulate, and he said that it was Dias. First song on their first album, while Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were in their early 20's. You'll find beautiful melodies juxtaposed against stories that often portray the darkest side of human nature. Highly addictive band.
Recommended: Home at Last, Haitian Divorce, Daddy Don't Live in The New York City No More, Green Earrings, Black Cow, King of the World, and about 70 more.
Got your songs on the spreadsheet! Thanks so much for your comment Rich!
@@LegacyStudio Double check the 70 or more are on there. They have no bad songs. Their engineering is impeccable and their quality control is insanely good. They're America's answer to The Beatles, with OCD levels to details.
Keep going! Chain lightning, daddy dont live.. Tons of great ones from the Dan.
I added your suggestions to my spreadsheet!
Good catch! Electric sitar!
Pretzel Logic from the Dan
I miss Steely Dan month in NYC. They regularly played every Oct a different SD Album every few nights at The Beacon Theater on Broadway. 🤗 Id get a 3night pkg because it was the only way to get a 'Greatest Hits Night' ticket & an 'AJA Night' ticket. 😌 That way I got to hear the song 'Peg' twice. 🤔 Usually went with Royal Scam as my 3rd night. 😆 By the end of the month, we all hoped we still had $ left for 🎃 Halloween. 😁 Thank goodness the Village Halloween Parade was free to join in. 😉 59 and still do Thriller Dance every year with the 🧟🧟♀️🧟♂️ Zombies. 😒 Now SD plays Jones Beach and it's only 1 night and not worth the expense of the ticket, food plus transportation there & back home to Manhattan. Easier to see them in Atlantic City with a quick 20 minute trip from port Authority. 🥰🐰
Apparently this guitar was used on this song: 1957 Fender Duo-Sonic electric guitar
Love history like this. Great little factoid!
That was most probably not a waxhboard, but a Cuban or Mexican guiro. You'll find a lot of Latin jazz influence in SD
Hey Nineteen from the Dan
I am not a musician but I have heard that Steely Dan were all very respected studio musicians. So I feel that perhaps you may offend some hardcore Steely Dan fans with your comment about the organ playing by someone too drunk or high - lol.
Lol!!! Very likely:0) hopefully they have a sense of humor
Steely Dan was a self contained band for the first few records. The main guys Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. They wrote all the songs and Fagen sang lead and played keyboards, Becker played bass early on and then started playing guitar on the later records. They would bring in guests to overdub guitar solos and stuff when one of the main guys couldn’t get the right feel and then by the 4th album, the main guys were gone except for Denny Dias who plays electric sitar solo on this tune and they had stopped touring so they didn’t really need an actual band and Becker and Fagen would hire the best studio musicians and jazz soloists for their records. For the organ solo on this tune it’s actually played by Fagen on a cheap imported organ that had a pitch bend strip built into it so you could bend notes which was pretty unusual for the time but it happened to be the sound they were going for. Fagen is actually an underrated keyboard player he takes a bunch of amazing solos and Becker was a great bass player and ended up playing some of their most famous guitar solos later on like Black Friday, Bad Sneakers, Josie, etc
@@steelyd2 Indeed, it was a Yamaha YC-30. Not exactly cheap, but cheaper than a Hammond B-3 at the time, much less maintenance (Yamaha has had a great reputation on reliability for ages), and indeed had an interesting ribbon pitch controller, like many Yamaha keyboards in the '70s. Also, the organ solo was double-tracked. It was actually a very nice, well-built single-manual solid state organ, and paired with a Yamaha RA-200 rotating-horn speaker/amp combo (not heard here), could create a big, wonderful sound a bit similar to a B3 w/ Leslie, but much lighter, less expensive/bulky, and more roadworthy rig. Bonus: If you were a keyboard/guitar player, you could also use the RA-200 for your guitar, like David Gilmour did on _Shine On, You Crazy Diamond._ '70s Yamaha musical instruments and gear were held in high regard, and still are.
Güiro! :)
all about backsliding...steely dan..another band way out there in a class of their own
There is actually an official video, so you can figure out the instruments you're trying to figure out. By seeing the video you can tell its 70s. 👍👍
This is 15 years earlier than AJA !😊
5 years before Aja, not 15. This song came out in 1972 and Aja come out in 1977
@@girgameth8031 TY , a typo not intentional. I absolutely knew it was only 5 years previous.
Steely Dan's lyrics will NOT stay clean. That's a promise.
Yep it's my assumption we will bump into that with most songs :0) Just have to make some decisions as they come.
Actually, they (Fagen and Becker) don't curse much in their lyrics -- maybe a half dozen times in a dozen albums.
I feel that when they do, there's fair reason.
Somehow, I’m not so sure that Donald Fagan (keyboardist) would totally agree with your assessment of his musical performance. 😂✌🏼😎🇺🇸
LOL! You got me laughing out loud over here, your probably right. No offence to him in the slightest!
The sharp electric sound is from an electric sitar. The brand Coral manufactured an electric sitar in 1967. It is much like a standard solid body electric guitar but it has special hardware that makes it sound like a sitar. I got to play one at a music store iaround 1967.
Parker's Band and Deacon Blues ...
Added to the list! Thanks brother!
If you want to hear some beautiful organ please react to the studio album version of Child in Time by Deep Purple
I'll add that to my list! Thanks!
First listing, I enjoy your professional reaction.
My I suggest a track by Grand Funk Railroad called " Inside looking out"
Yes, Rhodes.
These guys were staples on both rock and pop radio in the 70's! Even though they had rotating band members (Yes, BABYMETAL, etc.) they were able to maintain a loyal fan base while stretching the limits of previous successes. Kind of like a pro athlete can switch teams and maintain (or even improve) a high level of performance. I'll add "My Old School" to the others below. "GJ"👍(a Black BABYMETAL song)
Skunk Baxter the rhythm/solo part at the end. Check out Night by night from Pretzel Logic their 3rd album. Jeffrey "Skunk" Baxter's guitar work on that tune is stellar
"Josie"
Well I apologize if things pop into my head when I listen to you. Then I cant stop myself from sharing. -->If you would like a good organ solo, I suggest Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf. In my eyes, the song is a one hit wonder, which shows how hard it is sometimes to get even that one hit, despite great talent. (If you like paying attention to lyrics, try sometime in the future, to figure out who the Green Eyed Lady is, to *some* people, when they try to analyze the lyrics.)
Suggestion: any song from The Royal Scam.
You didn't show album but you could have shown video that is just as clean as the album cover. The 2 rifts in middle to me were like battle rifts first the guitar and then the keyboard. But one of my favorite songs and groups for the Music and the song lyrics.
for other Steely Dan music good to listen too but you seem sensitive check out "Hey 19". If you like Steely Dan you will should love Dire Straits Money for nothing and "Sultans of Swing(alchemy version).
Its amazing to me how much this generation only listens to music in it extreme they listen to noise or vulgar. I still hear do it again in restaurants and department stores.
I'm 62 been listening to all kinds of music since the late '60s till now. My favorite "song" in all that time was, and still is "Close To The Edge" by YES. Love The Dan as well. Royal Scam Album!!!
I have been a Christian since I was very young, and although there have been "worldly messages" thrown at me my whole life, I know how to enjoy the music, and disregard what is offensive.
Close to the Edge is recorded and available to my channel members, ill release it to the public soon!
@@LegacyStudio Awesome
00:47 That's a güiro, not a washboard.
LOL! Thank you! I knew it had a proper name! Made out of a gord right?
Do Pretzel Logic the song off the same titled album as this one
Mate, I'm enjoying your reactions but please, do us all a favour, please try and comment after the solos so you and we can just soak them up. Then feel free to expound your thoughts. Otherwise it jars too much. Thank you.
Bear with me a BIIIIIIT longer. I am changing it up a bit and I think youll like it, but there are a few pre-recorded videos only viewable by my channel members that we have to release before you will see me get my act together. Thanks for the support!
So ref keep it clean avoid Steely Dan's songs:"Every One's gone to the movies", "Show Biz Kids" and maybe "Cousin Dupree" all great songs but the middle one has an F-bomb and the other two have dark lyrics if you really think about them. On the other hand the music is so great it is hard to be offended by them.
Thumbs down for breaking up one of my favorite guitar solo's.
Lol I'll still give your comment a like and give my full support. Thanks for stopping by my little channel and putting up with a noobie reactor
@@LegacyStudioditto--that is one of the great solos of all time and you broke it into six pieces
@@ammaleslie509 It needed to be enjoyed in courses. Like a meal. Not stuffed down like a happy meal. We sample the finer things here.
@@LegacyStudio Fair point.
I might say it was like reading a poem where the flow of the words and the rhyme scheme
mattered (Hamilton lyrics, say) but you kept stopping before the rhyme or in the middle of a word or eight before an important stressed syllable.
The poetry of the thing as a whole, the way it builds, the emotional journey, are lost.
@@ammaleslie509 Well I certainly hope you found those emotional expressions within your own listening experience beyond my little video. I would actually strongly advise buying the UHQR of the Album and listen to it. It was quite rewarding and a wonderful gift from another viewer. No reaction will ever live up to that experience and if you are counting on me to provide such an experience. As you can see, that ends in failure.... On another note I enjoy a good banter back and forth, but this was one of my earlier videos and I did record my experience of the UHQR that you can find on my channel. No pauses. You may enjoy that.
it IS a sitar.
