No offense to Donnie & Marie, but I’ll take Steely Dan’s version. One of my favorite albums from my PSU college days. Dirty Work, Midnight Cruizer, Brooklyn, etc….
Actually Donnie & Marie did a nice job with that intro version to their show.
I'm embarrassed to say that I watched the whole Donny and Marie clip. A couple of observations:
- Not a bad guest lineup - Ruth Buzzi, Buddy Hackett and Suzanne Somers
- Donnie and Marie weren't bad on ice skates
- That was the absolute worst version of "Reelin' in the Years" I've ever heard - but I kept watching anyway
If there are any fans of Chicago out there, check out this band (Leonid & Friends). Their covers are very well done and they sound really good live too. This is the first Steely Dan song I've heard them do and they did a great job.
If anyone is wondering, her (translated) name is Ksenia Buzina.
David Palmer, Steely Dan vocalist on CBAT and lead on Dirty Work. Them there are some nasty teeth!
That was great. Note the sax player had a Penn State T on and the drummer was wearing Ohio State shirt.....in Russia! And BTW, that chick is smokin!
I was lucky. Saw the Dan live before Walter Becker died. There are many iterations of the Dan but not without Walt. Hats off to Leonid and Friends. They are a Chicago band. They do it extremely well.
They lack one or two things...the hitmaker, Michael McDonald. Bernard Purdie. Although their drummer is excellent.
You want a record? Let Michael McD sing. Or Stevie Nicks. Go to the bank.
Shout out to Zep fans who went for the show last night at State Theatre. Great time. People dancing everywhere. Dancing Days are here again.
True Led Heads might know Dancing Days replaced Four Sticks. One of my favorite songs. Paul Sinclair (the Plant) was ill. Hard to imagine he can hit the Plant notes 120 days a year.

Don’t know what else to say other than watching D&M version makes me feel old and that some songs are better left untouched.
I took Spanish at PSU with a Vietnamese immigrant named An Fu from Annandale, VA. Think of him every time I hear that time...
