SD toured '72-'74, then retired from the road and broke up after Gaucho in '81. They returned to touring in '93, and have been fairly consistent since. I've seen them a baker's dozen times, though not the last few tours. The Making of Aja DVD is pretty good for showing how they think and just how crazy they were in the studio. Definitely one of the best song-writing teams ever.
As for Do It Again, in-flight wifi won't let me see it. But that song really changed the world of radio. While there certainly was plenty of great music that was on both AM and then the emerging FM radio stations, nothing quite like SD had hit yet. You drop the needle on that song, the groove starts, and you're somewhere else, with a handle in your hand...
