Reverse Post - Reelin' in the Years

So I am noodling around on Youtube, looking for a Hank Marvin clip (Apache) and I stumble on this gem.  Remember, if you click on any particular post title - you will be directed to a Youtube clip of a song from the featured album.  This is too awesome.  It's Steely Dan - Reelin' in the Years - Live 1973, from the Midnight Special.  So after watching the clip a few times, I just had to post Can't Buy a Thrill.  A Youtube poster tells us, "David Palmer is on vocals, Jim Hodder is on drums, and Denny Dias is on the Fender Telecaster and beard."  The liner notes say, Lead Guitar is by Elliot Randall."   And as Bill Cosby tells us at the beginning - Do it Again is also on this album.  Listen to the oft-missed chestnut on this record, Midnight Cruiser.  Here is the inner cover.

  2. thanks KC - it's among the 7 I own on vinyl - from their string of classics, from 1972's Can't Buy a Thrill to 1980's Gaucho.

  3. Who the heck is Elliot Randall? Looks to me like "Skunk" Baxter on lead guitar...
