Jeff “Skunk” Baxter - my favorite rock trivia answer!
I own exactly one Steely Dan album - Aja.
Yep!
Great band - Fagen’s solo album The Nightfly is one my all time favorites.
Looking forward to seeing them in August when they play in Indy!
You should at least add Can’t But a Thrill.
Bodhisattva live at the Santa Monica Civic = their finest moment.
I’m jealous, Moe!
Why you, I oughta... lol
Best band ever. One of my favorites that is obscure is “Daddy Don’t Live In That NYC No More”.

I have seen them more times in concert than even the Dead. They are awesome. Coming the Bethlehem PA this summer live. Can’t wait. Good thread here Reaganite.
Thanks Lazlo, tho I’ve only seen ‘em once... agreed on ALL points
I saw Steely Dan live in 1974 in Long Beach Calif on their Pretzel Logic tour. Never have I heard a band that could play their music so closely to the original studio versions. They were amazing!
hey nineteen, my old school, reeling in the years, black friday, Peg, midnight cruiser.
There are no bad Steely Dan songs. Takes me back to my college years.
One of the best solo albums ever. A favorite of mine as well.

I was JUST thinking that exact same thing watching these clips I posted, REAL bands can play live- an almost non existent skill from the mediocre rubbish out there today
The live version of Bodhisattva I heard was, IMHO, the most impressive single display of complex precision I have ever witnessed. It simply blew me away.
You don’t happen to know of a good live version of Kid Charlemagne (for sale, or for free, doesn’t matter). I am not a fan of the one from their live album (it didn’t have the hard kick of the studio version). I have heard a much better version in person, but obviously have no recording of it.
