The players at Slim's were: Walter Becker guitar & vocals Bob Sheppard woodwinds John Beasley keyboards

One of my favorite tracks of whack, and wow this live version did not disappoint. Walter's delivery here is sublime, and the textures the band created added just the right atmosphere, Bob Sheppard's sax in particular is a treat. When this magical and almost mythical one-night-only concert took place, I was 2000 miles away, and more importantly I was only 11 years old and had no idea who the hell Steely Dan or Walter Becker were. Needless to say, but I will say it anyway, I am so incredibly thankful this recording exists and I finally am able to hear it and experience it. Thank you.

been listening since 74 and they were the best band I ever heard.

Hi Kama....Sorry to say, you may get scant response to this idea because of the expensive legal peril such an enterprise would no doubt encounter (eg see the unfortunate fate of the Hey 19 Rap database here). It's a shame....that collection would be great. But for now at least, it could only be enjoyed through private, obscure channels. Thank for your interest and understanding.

Just what the doctor ordered :-)

This moody bastard is very happy that you posted this gem. As a hardcore Dan fan I foolishly let Walter's solo stuff pass me by, but now some of it is up there with my favourite SD. It's amazing how unpredictable these songs are - he obviously never sat back and coasted on his reputation. A couple of listens and they get under your skin.

No. I was not there. He names all the players during the last tune.

P.S. and how about that cool little tasty guitar solo by WB (I think it's him) right at the end! I would have liked to have heard that go on for a bit longer...

@McSteve thanks for correcting our oversight
