The voice of Michael McDonald at 1:36:35 here takes me back to my first Steely Dan concert on Sunday April 21, 1974 at the U. of Toledo. My wife and I were standing in line outside the sports arena waiting for the doors to open, when we heard the band inside start their soundcheck by playing the title track from their latest album, "Pretzel Logic." When they got to the song's bridge and the line, "Well I stepped up on the platform / and the man gave me the news," we heard a voice that we knew was no longer Donald Fagen's. Two hours later when they performed that song again we could put Michael McDonald's face with that incredible voice we had heard coming out of the arena windows earlier. He was so good on that tour that Becker & Fagen made him the featured backing vocalist on their next album, "Katy Lied." When Steely Dan refused to tour in support of that album, guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (who had already joined The Doobie Brothers) recruited McDonald to replace an ailing Tom Johnston -- a move that radically changed their sound for the rest of the decade.

The song you mention may have contributed to Mike leaving the Dan, or rather being allowed to leave. Don has stated that he was often anxious about performing live, particular his singing and having 18 year old Mike on second vocal actually didn't help his confidence. In one interview he mentioned the same anecdote and commented, paraphrased "when Mike hit the bridge on Pretzel, I knew my time was up". The Dan stopped touring not long after and Mike left the band - it adds up. To be fair there were other reasons including money - the band didn't make anything touring and were sometimes shuffled into line-ups that made no sense, like playing warm-up to Bread. No offence to David Gates but that music was about as slushy and MOR as you could get without falling into a swamp and the antithesis of Dan's cornucopia of influences and genre bending styles including 'rock' with an element of driving 'punk' in the bass, drums and guitar - The Police before they were formed you might say (1977) - All Too Mobile Home comes to mind also featuring Mike on a great second vocal kzitem.info/news/bejne/rXd_s5uErF9keHo. Producer Gary Catz later commented that letting Mike go was the biggest mistake Don and Walt ever made... he transformed the Doobie Brothers from a West Coast Country biker band into a much more accessible R&B group which allowed their many talents to shine with a wider audience. He would have done the same for the Dan, smoothing off some of the nerdy edges. Doobies bass player Tiran Porter acknowledged this in the 80's stating that it opened up a whole new outlook for him to contribute and Pat Simmons stated more than once that Mike 'saved' the Doobie Brothers. Purists wont like that but they cannot argue with pre and post success in terms of fans, coverage and record sales. Also Grammy's that came with Mike and his silent writing partner Kenny Loggins (the hit-meisters for the next decade). Don and Walt were always a tight duo in reality though, a boys club of two, and many great players came and went through the Dan's career - Steve Gadd, Skunk Baxter and Larry Carlton to name three. Mike would be called back for odd sessions until the 80's break-up and it was very nice to see him come back for the 2000 series of gigs, at least some of them when they didn't clash with his own solo tours. Clearly Don has gotten over that early difficulty more lately with the Dukes of September - Don, Mike and Boz Scaggs on tour - all three soul and R&B men in their essence.

Thanks for posting - all the band are outstanding (to play this music live and tight, I mean Aja live!!! ) but Jon Herrington is on another level when you think of all the great Dan guitarists, Denny Dias, Skunk Baxter, Larry Carlton and more and Jon has to cover all of them live and in a none ego / flashy way. Could watch him all night.

I agree. Jon's one of the best players out there and one of the best ever to work in SD. He doesn't superimpose himself and he still has a terrific style all his own. My kind of player.

I saw Steely Dan as many times as I could at a number of different venues, but the I think it was 2013 show at the Santa Barbara Bowl was one of my favorites. That venue is incredible it’s like the Greek, but better. I think the best show I saw was in maybe ‘07? at the Beacon Theater when they played Aja in it’s entirety with another 90 minutes of their best stuff. It was the quintessential NYC night back when the city was still the City.

Took super pro skill to deal with that bunch. Being from St. Louis area ... I AM EMBARRASSED! Walter & CO. - ALL OF TEAM DAN DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT! Carolyn & Cindy Kicked my ass up between MY SHOULDER BLADES. Perhaps DIRTY WORK was the fitting anthem for St.LOUIS -THAT NITE!-
