time eroding, the long night passing

thx Hanx for drawing attention to this gem from the aforementioned 1993 Steely Dan bootleg - a previously unknown-to-me Walter Becker solo song, "Book of Liars," that I've listened to 39 43 times so far today - come with me, this is a gorgeous, subtly swinging, quietly soulful ballad with really fucking heartbreaking and poetic lyrics and sax licks all over the fucking place -


from Becker's 94 solo album "11 tracks of whack!"  seriously!  listen to how fucking sophisticated yet emotional this is!  listen to the ache in Becker's voice in that last verse!  goddamn this is good does anyone on this internet have the mp3 of the album vers, or the rest of whack for that matter??

10 high quality steely dan bootlegs for download

right here, it is exactly what the subject says it is, that is to say truly glorious. I saw an awes vid of Fagen in the early 80s playing a keytar wearing a cutoff t-shirt and sunglasses (obv) at a show, it just gets deeper

anyway these links also include a fucking 4GB of video direct from the jumbotron or whatever feed from a show from their summer 2006 tour, which I have such fond memories of seeing more or less TOTALLY SOBER with matt andrea mike nate steve phil lis chris jenna rajiv hank... who am I forgetting? what a great show. I will work on downloading this over the next couple of days and try and have a screening here sometime soon!
