The thing about Keith playing these songs is that he doesn't add any slick shit in there, no ruffs on the HH or quick BD fills.

Just straight and real solid. That takes some discipline.

Thanks again Klemme.

I think Keith sounds great on these...

Good point about his spacious approach Benrand- one thing that turned me off Chambers on the Dan stuff was how much he played- blazing 32nd note fill in the middle of 'Kid Charlemagne' anyone? [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

As I think someone pointed out, the original drum tracks are so timeless and part of the song... it's always going to be hard to hear someone new on the same tunes.

When DC played Babylon Sisters, he put some Dennis stuff in there that immediately had me noticing that it was in fact DC playing.

That's not playing for the music. Keith actually plays for the music here, I'm guessing that's why he got hired.

But it still sounds great, the music is lifted by that kind of simple solid drumming. It sounds GOOD.

I personally am one of those KC fans AW... [img]redface.gif[/img] ;c)

But AFA the DC thing goes...i say...
*Phhhfffftt!* :cp [img]redface.gif[/img] ;c)

[However, I think Muphkin indeed has a point about that fill in Charlemagne]... [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thinking.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]

Thanks again Klemme.... I'm a big fan of Steely Dan and KC!
The sound quality is very good .... any chance you can post some more!

Thanks!!

[benrand]

I second the thought, the whole damn concert!

It is excellent, as if Peter Erskine were mind melded with Marotta or Purdie.

[FuseU1]

What about JP? Def has a Porc feel to it... [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]

[benrand]

Certainly. If JP can't do it, Gadd can surely do it.

Klemme.... Hey, you've been very generous so far ...please post a few more tunes!!! Please!

[drumaddix]

klemme:thanks for posting those.
i actually wanted to post the whole concert as i started this thread, but my trip to Morocco would prevent me from doing it.
thanks for filling in.
i'm glad you guys love this band as much as i do. [img]wink.gif[/img]
not many bands get such a unanimous affection i guess.
long live to the Dan!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
