16track Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Did someone mention a Bullit DVD? Who has this? If possible, can I request for a copy bro? Sad to say din, I can't find Steve McQueen DVDs readily. Thanks! As for STEELY DAN-- big fan here as well. Got hooked when I heard Deacon Blues for the first time in high school! I was just starting out to break out from my classic rock period of playing guitar when I got thrown into the world of Dan's sophisticated brand of music -- just right after watching a band perform Steely Dan tunes at the Papillon Bar in Makati.Anybody remember the Papillon Bar? When Steely Dan came out, guitar players suddenly had to go searching for all those wonderful chords and progression the band was doing. Up to now, the chords I learned from their songs remain a staple in how I play. Other than the music itself, I got so blown away by the level of musicianship paraded in Dan's albums: Jeff Baxter - from the Doobie BrosDeny Diaz - played guitar solo in "Do it Again" ( along with Baxter )Elliot Randall - played brilliant guitar solo in "Reelin in the Years"Larry Carlton -from the Crusaders and also top session man of the 70'sJay Graydon - played guitar solo on "Peg"Jerome RichardsonRick DerringerJeff Porcaro - from TotoMichael McDonaldChuck Rainey - excellent bassistJoe SampleTom ScottSteve Gadd and many more....

bods1000 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Bods, I was in O Music video and I was so pleasantly surprised to see almost all of Steely Dan CDs available (sa Odyssey daw meron din) ...needless to say pinakyaw ko hehe, I got Katy Lied, Cant Buy a Thrill, Aja (matagal ko ng pinapangarap!), The Royal Scam, at meron din silang Gaucho at Pretzel Logic...I already had those so d ko na binili.....so hehe kumpleto na yata ako ng lahat ng Steely Dan, yahoo! Re the Bullitt DVD, let me know brod when is our next EB.....sad to say d ko pa nabibili yung DVD...but madali lang kasi I have people coming in and out of hkg so madali lang magpabilin brod.. Augustmoon, long time no hear ! thanks bro...no problem with Bullitt..yes it seems madaming reissue ng Steely Dan ngayon..nakita ko din sila sa Tower sa Alabang (or Music One?). Anyway hindi na ako bumili because I have them all on LPs hehehe parang sayang. You failed to mention Countdown to Ecstasy...wala ba nito? I have this on LP and this is a great album. This is the album that contains Bodhisattva, Razor Boy and My Old School...speaking of Steely Dan, they had a world tour just this year and they were in Japan, Australia and New Zealand just this August and September. Sadly hindi na naman kasama Philippines :goatee: Anyway mahilig naman ang mga promoters dito na magdala ng geriatric acts, why don't they think of bringing the Dan here - I believe they're already in their mid-5os....

16track Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Hi bods! Fagen and Becker are true masters of their craft. They got different musicians to play in different tracks just so they could get the sound they were hearing in their heads. Add the fact that both guys are control freaks when it comes to recording and you get excellent albums in the end. Here's a sampling of how much talent are brought to the table when it comes down to a Steely Dan Album. This is from GAUCHO--(Although it came out in 1980 --no longer the 70's) Walter Becker: Guitar, Bass, Solo Guitar Donald Fagen: Lead Vocals, Synthesizer, Electric Piano, Organ, Solo Guitar: Mark Knopfler, Steve Khan, Larry Carlton Guitar: Steve Khan, Hugh McCracken, Hiram Bullock, Rick Derringer Bass: Chuck Rainey, Anthony Jackson Drums: Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Rick Marotta Electric Piano: Joe Sample, Don Grolnick, Patrick Rebillot Piano: Rob Mounsey Synthesizer: Rob Mounsey Percussion: Victor Feldman, Crusher Bennett, Steve Gadd, Ralph McDonald Clavinet: Don Grolnick Woodwind: George Marge, Walter Kane, Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, Ronny Cuber, Dave Tofani, Tom Scott Brass: Randy Brecker, Wayne Andre Backing Vocals: Leslie Miller, Patti Austin, Toni Wine, Lani Groves, Diva Gray, Gordon Grady, Frank Floyd, Zack Sanders, Valerie Simpson, Michael McDonald add in as well Mark Knopfler who played lead in Time Out of Mind from Gaucho. The jazz drummer Peter Erskine played on their later albums. Al Dimeola performed in Aja. Deodato was in Do It Again and Dirty Work. Grover Washington did some saz in Time Out of Mind.

Dan experts....would you consider Donald Fagen's solo efforts an extension of Steely Dan work? naka 3 albums yata sya diba? The Nightfly, Kamakiriad and Morph the Cat. Quote Link to comment
hitman531ph Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The Steely Dan site includes the solo efforts of Donald Fagen... and the solo efforts of Walter Becker. Trivia: In 1985, Walter Becker was the producer of the Flaunt The Imperfection album by China Crisis. This new wave band took a different sound for that particular album. Quote Link to comment
16track Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) I liked the NightfFy album. Despite being his solo work, the Nightfly at worst --still sounded like Steely Dan. Many of the past Dan musicians were present in the tracks plus the fact that Fagen was the vice of Dan. " I.G.Y". and "Walk Between the Raindrops" remain the cuts I like the best. Was it an extension of Steely Dan ?--personally, I really cant say. Maybe .. maybe not. In my opinion, many big time artists who went solo ---were never as commercially or critically as big as the famous groups they were in before they went separate ways. Most-- but not all --as there are always exceptions such as Clapton and Peter Frampton who became bigger when they went solo or even Michael Jackson after he left his brothers. Mick Jagger did not find success when he came out solo ( a few times he tried ) nor did Robert Plant or Roger Daltrey. I can add Robin Gibb or Barry Gibb to the list. Even Paul MaCartney -despite his huge success--was never as big as the Beatles.

bods1000 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Dan experts....would you consider Donald Fagen's solo efforts an extension of Steely Dan work? naka 3 albums yata sya diba? The Nightfly, Kamakiriad and Morph the Cat. Donald Fagen's solo efforts were too jazzy compared to the earlier Steely Dan albums but would compare well with the later Dan like Aja and Gaucho which have become too slick - not that it offends me - I do like them all. Kamakiriad sounds too remote and distant - it's like a very slicked-up Steely Dan which I found cold. The Nightfly of course is so warm - I still enjoy it after all this time. Morph the Cat is spotty - only two or three cuts stand out - The H Gang and What I Do (which is some sort of a dialogue with Ray Charles. Very good grooves there). Walter Becker came out with a solo album some years back and I luckily have it on tape. Now, a Becker album sounds so distant from a Steely Dan effort of course because Becker sings and let's admit it - Fagen's is so much familiar and I daresay better. But the grooves and overall flow of music is very similar to SD. That album is called 11 Tracks of Whack - the lyrics remain biting and cutting-edge, and this is just half of Steely Dan. Only one personal favorite here - Book of Liars. The rest are quite throwaways. Better to just read the lyrics hehehe... Quote Link to comment
