    Yes. I grew up in radio back in the 1970’s with the hippie DJ’s. AM radio was the main frequencies and then FM Stereo came along. They put all of the elevator music on FM. About this time Steely Dan came out and all the cool stations switched to FM. Steely Dan definitely played a factor with the quality of their music and a new definition of Rock N Roll. BTW. I’m still a radio engineer now. Now it’s…HD. But there will never be anything like analog FM and Vinyl records.

    The sax player, Pete Christlieb, also did the solo on "Deacon Blues." He was a member of "The Tonight Show" band when the show was hosted by Johnny Carson. Fagen and Becker used to watch the show, and the band would play tunes during commercial breaks. Often, the band would be finishing a tune after the commercial ended and the broadcast returned to the set. Fagen and Becker took note of a particular saxophone player who would be blowing a blistering solo during these moments. They found out who he was, and hired him for a session.

It's a fantastic homage to the golden era of when these musicians could buy houses & raise families from steady work in the industry. Incredible to hear the interviews within.

    There are 2 versions of this classic Steely Dan song. The other one has a long sax solo at the end instead of the guitar solo (and my 45 7” single has the song fade back in and then the long sax solo. Someone had also combined both the guitar and sax end solos to make one long classic. It’s on KZread somewhere.

    "Gilmour-esque" - love it. For some time, I thought that Walter was inspired by Gilmour's solo on Another Brick in the Wall, then realized that this tune pre-dates that song. Walter takes double duty on both bass and guitar. Pete Christlieb on tenor sax, who you no doubt recognize from his iconic solo on Aja's Deacon Blues. Finally, backup vox - Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Tim Schmit. Love your reactions. Here at the Western World next, please.

    I grew up in a time before cable/satellite TV, internet, cell phones, VCRs, CDs/DVDs, earbuds, etc. Most TV and radio stations would sign off at midnight after playing the Star Spangled Banner. Most portable radios were little boxes that ran on 9v batteries, only received AM and sounded like shit. But we loved them. Those were the days of vinyl, 8-track, and cassette tapes and most radio stations were AM stations. WHB 710 was the AM top 40 station that I listened to almost exclusively. FM was a HUGE step forward to clear, stereo that sounded amazing. KYYS 102.1/KY-102 was the album rock station in Kansas City and it stood alone for many years. KBEQ 104.3/Q104 was the pop/rock Top 40 station that started the FM music wave in KC if memory serves correct. KPRS103.3 was the soul/funk station. These were programed into my push button presets(where you dialed to get the signal just right and pulled the button out and pressed it back in to set it). I can't remember the year but my most prized possession/Christmas gift was a Panasonic AM/FM cassette player/recorder. It wasn't stereo, but it had a big speaker with good sound that could record directly from the radio. I would camp out with my finger on the Record button during song transitions waiting for my favorites. This was one of them. It had to be at night because the daytime DJs would overlap the songs and talk during the intros. Great memories that really make me appreciate how far we have come.

It´s a little bit gilmourish (oh, now I see, you mentioned that too - wasn´t paying attention) but in Walter´s sparkling restraint. You´re so right - not one note too much and none too few. In "Gaslighting Abbie" he did an (almost) one-note guitar solo - believe it or not.

    It was written for purpose, and they certainly came up with the goods. The move was horrible, but this song is another ear-gasim from these legends. Getting the Eagles to do the backing vocals was a coup. Walter at his best, with clear Gilmour influences, but I'm also hearing him echo some classic Drew Zing licks, he's brilliant on bass as well as his wonderful guitar work, it just oozes excellence. Mandel's strings, Porcaro's drums, I mean, does it get any better than this? You guys are now changed forever like me and millions of other fans of the literary dildo duo. Thanks for another lovely reaction. I had a blast watching you guys succumb to a musical enigma that I fear may never be repeated. Not ever. Not by you, not by me, not by Shaggy or Beyonce, or DJ Khaled, or eAeon, anyone. I hope I'm wrong, though. You guys are young and talented, loving watching you grow as musicians. Thanks for giving us a window in on your journey with your art. Sending love and positive vibes! Keep at it! :-)

    For us older people who were around when the FM radio network was just getting off the ground, we know what a wonderful advance it was! AM radio was vulnerable to any electrical issues.....a thunderstorm between you and your AM station's tower meant you got a big burst of static over your speakers.....FM eliminated that problem. 'No static at all'

    This track, while recorded during the sessions for Aja, was never intended to appear on that album, as it was made for the movie soundtrack. But as others have said here, you owe it to yourselves to seek out the fan-maximized mix that includes both Becker’s brilliant extended guitar solo AND the equally amazing extended saxophone fade-out. It’s on KZread, and it’s the only way to go with this track.

    That "FFFF MMMMM" refrain is very reminiscent of the first FM radio stations in the late 60s, early 70s, which were pretty sophisticated compared to the top 40 AM Stations that predominated at the time. AM had fast talking DJs and 3 minute radio versions with the DJ talking over any instrumental intros. FM had smooth DJs who spoke softly and less and played long album tracks. The contrast is parodied well by Fireside Theater in the beginning to their comedy album, "How can you be in two places at once when you're not anyplace at all."

    You are probably too young to get the reference, before FM Radio there was no "hi fidelity" on the radio. AM had crap sound but that was all there was unless or until your friend had a great stereo! The "no static at all" is all about the sound quality. Musically, an amazing track, as most of the Dan's are.

    A simple song ...FM in early 70's was a phenomena..AM was hissing with static and not stereo..so imagine this FM WITH CRYSTAL silence that from what I here had amazing stations in west coast and east coast where all styling of music could be expressed...AM was king but not for long..small community radio channels used FM..BIG COMMERCIAL,,AM..... Minimal guitar solo is what you say. .BY mid to late 70's the simulcast was POPULAR where live concerts would do a simulcast with radio so the viewers could listen in stereo and experience quality sound instead of mono TV soundtrack. gRATEFUL DEAD was first on commercial TV in 1970 ..This was hard to do to make the visuals line up with sound...When cable came this posed another problem and MTV in 1981 did first simulcast on MTV with Frank Zappa halloween concert..strange considering they did not play his music... When I was young we had 4 Channels of commercial TV and every night at 11 PM the TV went off and there was nothing on...You would wake up with TV white noise...nothing come on till thunderbirds at 6 in morning..The programmers from Tavistock had no material for night and nobody was awake anyway..If you wanted milk or smokes there was no 7/11...you had to drive for miles to the truck stop petrol station.. Then a great thing happen..they kept TV on all night and played music video's on some eternal loop..after you saw the same video's you got sick of it but night owls had some relief..now it is shopping channel..check this out...this is what happen at 11 pm..so you are with friends smoking and drinking and the silly TV is on to comfort those like a security blanket and then boom...she pulls up...watch to end..This does pathos to my mind...watch it...Sydney was so wonderful and tiny small city..TV stopped????and no internet..nothing..no phone..we had no phone in house..you had to go to phone box..and when you walked to friends place and they were not home you would have to walk back home.but that was OK..not like today..mssg friends first..not walk miles and his mom says he went out,,??? i will delete all this..just communicating thoughts for perspective My city of sydney Tommy Leonetti - KZread

    Gotta watch out for those internet lyrics...because there are mistakes. For example...the correct lyric is " funked up muzak", not "music". Muzak is an old term for what we call "elevator music". No static at all, was a staple call sign of early FM stereo radio, to differentiate it from monaural AM radio.

    Here is trick..like CEREBRAL music generally..I know my sister here can ride the jazz train and likes to go the flight of music fantasy...most men like head music ..but women like the sub woofer..they love that thang that moves the hips and you see men say ''sub woofer''...but that is where the women are.but women don't care what's on..as long as it plays to dawn..Take the women to the club which is a fancy word for ''disco''..no membership so where is club..before you settle and get drinks they run like like little robots to the dance floor...I don't know what pathos they suffer from but there they go and they are lip syncing the words like they are on stage or televison ...It is bizarre,,,and when I was young in Australia men did not dance..until the slow last song when you might lasoo a filly to take home for a root..If some guy got on dancefloor like soultrain he would be knocked out in five minutes and sweeped away and the ladies continue..drink in hand on heart...Now the reason the man got knocked out is he is trying to lift requirements to get a root..Like a sailor sharpening his knife and shaving his face when shore leave came..he made the other men have to work harder to get laid..Now men are shaving their body from top to bottom..and women are waiting while they put their face on...what?
