For Steely Dan fans - someone is posting outtakes and demos on YouTube!

Also, recordings of concerts from the 70s when they were actually touring (and some sound great!).

Skeevy Daniels is the YouTuber who is posting so much great rare stuff.

The Aja album was one that was on BOTH of our shortlists back in the day. Great start to finish!
