Isn't it amazing how many times you can listen to Steely Dan song, and it still pull's you in... I never get tired of the genius of Dan and Walter

I cannot explain how much I love this tune. It’s top 5 SD now for me.

This is incredible, not just the song but this restoration. Holy shit I'm not surprised they did this over and over and decided it wasn't worth it cus they'd never do it this good again. I don't think they fuckin could've.

God this mix is fucking amazing. I love it when lost media like this is found. Such a hidden gem

I just stumbled across an AI remix of The Beach Boys “lost” (or should I say “what if?”) album “Smile”, and it’s frighteningly impressive. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before our new computer overlords wrap their tentacles around the lost Gaucho recordings and pull them into the 21st century. That being said, this is the most impressive version of the Second Arrangement I’ve heard yet. It’s amazing what dedicated music fans can do with nothing but distorted scraps.

It’s exciting right ? I don’t care if they take my job and enslave me or whatever , they’re going to raise ‘the second arrangement’ from the dead and it’s the best SD song I ever heard. Totally worth it ! The age of miracles

A++++ You nailed it, definitely worth all the effort. Saw them at Westbury in '73 when they "opened" for Cheech & Chong. Starter song "Bodhisattva", that was it, I was hooked for life. One of my good friends brought along his college 'music professor' who later remarked "I'm not impressed, these guys are going nowhere". I told my friend he was wasting his money at that school.

An older couple, who came, with a young child, left during C&Cs first routine. They paused the act to apologize and explain that their show was not appropriate for kids that age. We will assume they were there to see the Dan, but were a bit surprised with what followed!

This track, the other Gaucho outtakes, AI track separation, remixes, and good liner notes would make for a great Gaucho box set. If Fagen hurries, it might be ready for the 50th Anniversary.

This song is an absolute masterpiece. I could play it every day for the rest of my life. If you know, you know... Thanks for sharing.

At 3:25 when Fagen exclaims, "then I run to the 2nd Arrangement", the way the bass line & the rhythm suddenly ramp up and kick into overdrive, it literally SOUNDS as if he's actually sprinting.

Now if Donald Fagan & the Walter Becker estate can use the same technology that the surviving Beatles & Giles Martin used for "Now & Then", they can save this missing masterpiece.

Here for the Steel....stayed cuz the Dan

This may be my new favorite Dan track, I can't stop listening to it. Great hook and the guitar solo fits perfectly.

This NEEDS TO BE PUBLISHED on music streaming platforms. Its a 10/10

Kudos..! There were some pretty fuzzy mixes of this floating around and this is by far the best mix I’ve heard. Amazing to think one of Steely Dan’s best songs was never officially released.

My mouth was agape for nearly all of my first listen. Going from years of listening to the demo and its pronounced audio limitations to what's presented here is just off the charts. The clarity and punch was borderline surreal to hear. Thank you so much for reviving and fleshing out this buried treasure of theirs.

This is incredible. You can barely hear the lofi residue in the vocals, but if I wasn't listening for it, I would have given this the stamp of approval for studio quality (maybe not to SD's level, but still incredible).

I’m a huge huge SD fan. And this is absolutely my favorite song by them I wish Donald Fagen would make a new album and put this song onto it.

Sounds super clean! Just makes you think, man what if..

this is easily a top ten or top five Steely Dan song. It's unbelievable hoy good it is. What a crime that it got erased in such a stupid way. Kudos for bringing it back to life.

I got an excellent copy of this in the 80’s through a friend who was associated with Tom Scott. The cassette was sent to him so he could do a horn arrangement. The quality was outstanding and, like this, fully mixed. Would have loved to hear this with his arrangement.

Thanks for this mix ... first time I've heard of AI used to perform mixing tasks ;-)) . I join the ranks of the mourning who still despair that this song never made it to the masses ... but at least we have these tapes, and folks smart enough to know how to reassemble the song, so I'm happy...

Stunning work to get it sounding so good!

This song was supposed to be on the Gaucho album but got deleted by mistake. So they added another song instead. They should make a remastered Gaucho album and add this awesome song to it. It’s amazing.

I often have this song and its hook guitar/Rhodes Electric Piano line melody running thru the head at certain random moments. But I agree with whoever said that it wasn't their best effort. For one thing, it's missing a classic stellar obligatory guitar solo somewhere between a chorus and a verse.
