Lyrics
Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive
Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad Dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything
CHORUS:
I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am
CHORUS

That guy can really sing! Excellent cover all round.
Great work by the guitarist, especially fine phrasing and feel. Then there was the lead vocal, bloody superb and he didn't even look like he was trying. Blew me away.
I am loving this lead singer! He could be a totally new direction for the SD aesthetic! SD 2018!!!
wow, that opening guitar scream was AWESOME!!!
Best cover ever. Throw a light phaser on that ax for the intro maybe. Tommy Freeman is rocking the house for sure.
Man, kudos to this entire band; I especially want to single out the lead singer, drummer and that damn guitar player for an exceptional job on a complex tune. Lots to be proud of gang!!
That was an incredible performance! Hope you guys are still rocking out!
Great guitar work by the lead and also the drummer was very stellar.
That slapped! Loved it!
Great job Tommy! That's a TOUGH cover and you nailed it!
Excellent cover of a very difficult song to play. Great guitar work - you got the fills and intro perfectly. Big ask on a Tele too !

I wouldn’t try to play that with single coils needs more output
Like this, a good tribute to my all time favourite band.
Outstanding !
Fantastic! Singer and guitarist brilliant! I was pleased to nail about 10seconds of the solo the other day and then this guy comes along 🤣🤣
Nice rendition! Terrific solo!!
The guitar steals the song and this guy nails it. Well done!
Amazing cover guys! the guitar player rocks :D
Would love to have heard this recorded through the desk. Nice work.
Superb Tele work! Great cover!
Excellent!
flippin awesome
Great job on a great tune!
Great band great version
Sounded awesome!! What a voice on this guy! I didn't know Russell Crowe could sing so well. His voice would do well singing "Orleans" songs, Still the one, Dance with me off the top of my head.
thank you very very much
I like the Josie fake at the beginning. I was like "wait, sounds like someone doesn't much about correct Steely Dan titles here" LOL
In the Steely Dan Tradition, you have placed some very beautiful and talented women. Great Video.
Beautiful girls. nice cover.
Well done!
Oh yeah
"Josie" intro surprise. Great guitarist.
that intro drop tho!
From a long time SD fan who has seen them 9 times their songs are daunting to play to say the least. I like the guitar player and the vocals, but what the hell is the drummer doing?
How can that guitar sound so thin running through a Vox? Probably the sound mix. Cool cover, but that guitar tone was really distracting. That song should have a warmer - more low end, less high end - guitar tone.

That is a vox sound. High end metallic sounding.

@@bmcash3411 agreed, I've tried Vox amps on a few occasions but they're not for me. Very thin sounding and way too bright. I much prefer Fender amps, especially for this type of music.

Good Cover Guys!..Douglas is a little bit fried I think..LOL!
Great singing and guitar. Not easy to pull this one off.
Great job. I like the tall one
Take heart, Larry would have given you a pat on the back. You keep playing!
TELETIME !!!!
Not bad. But I don't get why the vocal melody line is changed.
Big Dan Fan here, and I liked this a lot (except for the drums. they needed to be mic'd/mixed better... too tinny).
Pretty good, gents. Ladies, a smile goes a long way further than a mini.
singer is pretty damn good! I think the guitarist is good but he needs to tighten up the hinges a bit. drummer is solid!
Check these guys out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lXya1JmQXc-3f6g.html
What's the purpose of the "Josie" opening guitar riff? Makes no sense to kick off "Don't Take Me Alive" with the Josie open.
Singer sounds a bit like Gino Vanelli. Good version.
Almost, but not quite.
Not bad
random intro, but nice cover
Bbz
terrible fucking backup vocals, holy out of key singing batman! Anyway, the rest of the band is excellent in this cover. The guitar is awesome, and the drum's tone is absolutely sexy. Good job on the audio guy!
Nice job of covering a difficult song without the aid of a twenty piece band.
That's not bad. Is Tom Freeman the guitarist? If so, I'll recommend him to the next level....hehe. The band is ok, singers ok. I miss the distinction by the background singers of verse 2 and three on the original Steely Dan, but as the guitar work...... it is great to me. He got the soul and also the sort of backlaid feeling that Steely Dan has. Not too much, and not too less. Well done, except the vocals.
Not a single musician in the bunch of you. Not one mention of the fact that he started the song with the intro to Josie then the intro chord to the song in question?

so? i mean it had me a little confused with the title but it was a nice touch if not a little out of key.
Needs keyboard player...
dump the chicks, they aren't doing anything noticable anyway...hire a keyboard player. But A+++ for selection on cover tune.

I don't think the guitar player's name was Marty.
from a opportunity standpoint that sucked...allow me to explain before you start flaming. guitar lead, drums, and bass nailed it, rhythm was good, then it fell apart.... i love this song and you could have crushed it, if not for thin lead guitar sound, sophomore vocals, ( weak, thin, sloppy) and the worst choice of backup singers on the planet, totally lame ducks, find a different strawberry dude, one that can hold a tune......otherwise great show mates!!!
Well done!
