Nice. No way I can go down that rabbit hole tonight. I really enjoyed that *More Than A Feeling" breakdown.

Improvised? Done in one take? Both? I can't remember, but I'll check it out tomorrow.

Rick Beato is just the best.
Can't recommend his videos enough.

I love the documentary from about a decade ago where Fagen/Becker take apart the making of the entire Aja album. It's available on YouTube, both in whole and on a song by song basis.

Rick Beato on Kid Charlemange...

It's the best. And I'm not even a big Steely Dan fan.

I keep writing too many words in a post to essentially say 'I liked that', so I'll just write that.

I did kinda laugh at the end where he included the admonition to spend a pretty fair amount of time shedding on the whole of Aja (really, ya think that's maybe a good idea?!?), but I also get it's a vid for an audience of who knows exactly what and it might be either really new for someone or it'll bring someone back around for a deeper dig in what may be their fifth or twenty-fifth dive in.

Beato interviewing Dean Parks, Jay Graydon , Tim Pierce. Tons of Steely Dan stories . Great stuff.

From a few years ago, story is in the video description. Gadd did play it in one take and didn't realize it was him later while listening to a playback. Purdie and Keltner were in that album as well as a few others
