None of this would ... ( 4 months ago by bebopPete)
None of this would exist if it weren't for Walter Becker. Forget, for just a moment, that he isn't any gifted singer. He is the chief ironist of Steely Dan. And the irony is as thick as molasses here. In 1974 you could fly from New York to Haiti and get a quickie divorce in just 24 hours. So, just imagine being able to fly to Haiti, get a divorce, have sex, get pregnant, and fly home just in time to re-unite tearfully with your ex-spouse, in just 24 hours. That's so ironic. :)
Totally agree with ... ( 4 months ago by elpassa)
Totally agree with you, Mel0132.. Walter rocks! If people want to listen to their CDs they should stay home. Happily I saw SD live twice (got 3rd row tkts the 1st time!!) and I enjoyed it so much. The Royal Scam has some amazing songs, and as much as I like Donald's solo albums Steely Dan's albums are much better because of Becker.
Always thought ... ( 4 months ago by Thunderthumbs73)
Always thought David Bowie should cover this song.
If you like Walter ... ( 4 months ago by GrantWishbone)
If you like Walter Becker's singing style, listen to Book of Liars on the Alive in America CD. I love that song--Becker delivers like the old pro that he is. He's not a crooner, just a solid song writer, and not a bad guitar player, either.

Poor Walter should not be allowed to sing.
anderthalneal. And ... ( 3 months ago by cyberdude61)
anderthalneal. And you decided this how? Becker and Fagen wrote this song. I guess that means that Becker gets to sing it any way he wants. And you are just a whingeing asshole.
Want to hear some ... ( 3 months ago by Jay435)
Want to hear some really bad singing? Listen to anything sung by Bob Dylan or Neil Young. And in Dylan's case really bad playing too. Walter gives a reasonable performance on this one. Don't forget that it's also live and you don't have a chance to clean it up in the studio for that reason.

i just saw steeely dan last nite in phoenix and walter sung the vocals for the song "gaucho" and his vocal lessons have been paying off... i sat in the third row, center stage and his range and key is so much better now... oh, did i mention they totally kicked ass, "kid charlemagne" and "aja" brought the house down...
bobfromtempe, you ... ( 2 months ago by Jay435)
bobfromtempe, you are so lucky. I wish they would come to Toronto but I just had a horrible thought however. What if Walter invites Bob Dylan and Neil Young on stage to sing back up harmonies and Britney Spears shows up for the finale? I know, paintball guns! A screen comes down protecting the band of course. Or if they manage to get away, "Drive-By_Paintball", the new game from Matel. No?

What, no mention of him giving the song to you in the first place, mate?
Some ridiculous ... ( 2 months ago by pinball1970)
Some ridiculous comments on this vid. If it is on YT and it is crap then we have the right to say so - even if it is Walter Becker. I am commenting on Walter Becker's singing - nothing else and his singing on this is shocking - mainly because the 1976 studio is a classic and the transposition of it is so low. Take a classic tune with high-ish vocals down tune it to this extent and it going to sound wrong. Bernie Taupin wrote some great lyrics - I would not necessarily want to hear him sing them.

Im sorry... I should not ahve made that remark. Walter Becker is god! Ive luved Steely Dan since I was 10. But Im sorry... I dont know what to say...guess the original vertion was better? I deserve to be cursed out. Im sorry I have never seen him sing..... but luv the man along with Donald Fagen...

That song is amazing, it always was. He can sing it in any way, because it
´s his song.

I was thinking of seeing Steely Dan live here in a few weeks but after seeing the vids on youtube I've decided to pass. Old men profit taking on 20 or 30 year old songs is fine qwith me if I enjoy it, but if it sounds like this, I'll pass. That's too bad, because they probably still write and perform well.

One half of Steely Dan has spoken (sung), I tip my hat to Mr. Becker. One of the greatest bands ever!!!!!

Your just a sorry mother ...
The proficiency of the band and the craftmanship of the composing and lyrics surpasses by any standard the dreck you hear today. Real music has no age, fool do!

Whatever. I like SD and this song is great, but this performance is pretty bad.
I'd be sorry if this is what I heard. You go see 'em.
I think his voice ... ( 1 month ago by StrayGator)
I think his voice works well on some songs. This just isnt one of them. Jack of Speed on the 1996 tour is the best example. Or Book of Liars from Alive in America.

Couldn't agree more with Randolph229...vocals are important. (As is instrumentation, arrangement, acoustics, ensemble integration, sound checks....etc., etc....)

Yeah its a shame - defo one of my fave songs of all time.
I came looking for a live version and found this - not to slag the bloke off
Indeed...stick with ... ( 1 month ago by MANHATTANBEEFMAN)
Indeed...stick with Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, etc. Steely Dan should simply not do live gigs...they leave it all in the studio, God Bless 'em.
Not a bad rendition ... ( 1 month ago by RSlug789)
Not a bad rendition, but I would have done it in octaves from the get go. I think it was a cool idea to double the melody like that.
There's something ... ( 1 week ago by jjoegarr)
There's something about Walter Becker's voice on this that I really like. The song's just so great.
