[@garethleitner9547]

It brings tears to my eyes to hear these young folks do such a brilliant job resurrecting a song from my youth. Thank you.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you :)))

[@guesswho6946]

I agree.

[@daniellacroix245]

This video is really a brilliant montage .

[@RonnieGreher]

So nice to see young people who appreciate the music of my youth. You can understand the lyrics, no profanity or violence. Just feeling the music.

[@marks.1425]

Awesome job, Noah

[@45156]

Gerry was a friend of mine"way back" and I met him in a pub in London one night, and his words to me were "I've just recorded my pension - it's called Baker Street" - how true - and as a long time Gerry fan and friend, I think he'd be happy to endorse this version - just brilliant.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much 😊

[@davekuhn1770]

That's awesome... so glad you saw this! And I'm so glad to have seen your comment... simply amazing song. Props to Gerry, may he rest in peace.

[@boboala1]

And...for what it's worth (quite a lot, actually) Jerry prob didn't mind Quentin Tarantino (and other artists over the years) using 'Stuck in the Middle With You' in his Res. Dogs movie, which earned Jerry and former bandmate, Joe Eagan, royalty money, though it seems Jerry had final control of who/how the song was used. Yep - $80,000 a year royalties for Baker Street alone. Sweet! Not bloody rich as hell but I could make a nice comfortable middle-class living over here in Missouri with $80k yearly coming into my mailbox and NO freakin' snooty bosses to report to! ;-)

[@prime-mate]

Awesome...

[@BinkyTheElf1]

Awesome version of an awesome song. Like many super-creative people, Gerry was haunted by bipolar according to his daughter. Alcohol was his self-medication.. and it eventually killed him. RIP, Gerry.

[@howardcandell6329]

I am 67 years old, I fell in love with this song when it came out, I played it wit my friends so many times. You guys are awesome. I am so happy I found you. Good music will never die!

[@michaeljones3934]

I'm 57 years old, I live in the US. I remember when this song first came out as a kid. You guys absolutely nailed it! I feel the same feeling as I did when I was younger. That same feeling of refreshing music that just gives me goosebumps. Thank you!

[@gambler143]

It really thrills my heart to see such great, young musicians (and multi instrumentalists at that) take up such iconic music from the past. These people are music's future.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much :))

[@nancyslider645]

I could not agree more 🌴

[@dvd6722]

I couldn't have put it better myself. Great vocals Noah. Never heard you or knew of you until this collaboration. I'm going to check out some of your other content.

[@renatobarbosa1411]

better than the original. Sensational. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

​@@renatobarbosa1411 aqui no Brasil tem uma versão dessa música. Complicada - Companhia do Calypso!

[@dalestephens4204]

None of you were born when this song first came out in 1978 and captivated all of us with its elegant charm. Yet you honour the song with such a brilliant rendition. I am in awe of your astonishing talent. Bravo!

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much 🤗🤗

[@withnail70]

You can hear the bass in the original, though. I think it plays a big part in the atmosphere, the warmth of the song, so why they drop it out of the landscape so completely in the mix is beyond me. It's the same with most of these studio recordings.

[@bernardwong7968]

1977

[@mramsch]

​@@withnail70 Maybe they changed the soundtrack in the meantime, but for me the bass is clearly audible. Not dominant, but perfectly fine - a distinctive voice of its own.

[@geraldreid9359]

​@@bernardwong7968recorded in '77, released in Feb '78.

[@seriousseriosity4055]

I’m a 56 year old American guy. Im crying right now. You kids grabbed onto my soul with this. So great. Thanks for the faithful rendition. You nailed it. ❤

[@joehonfleur]

Me too😪😪😪

[@ronniealexander8967]

Me too man! Awesome just don’t do these kids justice! Every time I watch it, nothing but cold chills the entire song!!!!!! If you don’t feel that, you ain’t human!!!!

[@_Randwulf]

I'm 72 and I could feel it just like I did back in the day... Great rendition. Be proud. 👍😎

[@someguyspage1809]

Same here. I wiped away a tear or two. Just sensational.

[@riccardosgrignuoli3207]

I'm 58 and I ALSO cried ! fantastic and keep it up kids !

[@ralphh.2200]

10 out of 10...young performers who make it look easy...you do justice to the original...whose sounds were a pulse of our lives back then...and again now.Thank you all.

[@stevendavid5370]

I am glad to see somebody is keeping Gerry Rafferty and the band's music alive. It was a hard pill to swallow that Gerry had passed away. Such an incredible musician and writer. He had so many fantastic musicians and technicians surrounding him. To see another generation pick up his ball and run with Gerry's music is awesome. Great job!! Keep it up.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much 😊✌️

[@davidwright9605]

Out standing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have loved this song for decades. Well done all of you. Standing ovation from me.

[@davidwright9605]

Gerry himself would most definitely approve.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you very much David 😉

[@mdogg1604]

Steven said it best. Us old guys will be gone soon...but you young folks will help the next generation's excursion down Baker Street...

[@sherwinfitz]

One of the greatest songs ever made. Thanks to a younger generation for keeping it alive.

[@johnwilliams1223]

It’s awesome to see young people covering the songs of my youth so perfectly.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you very much :)))

[@Maximusadfectare]

I’m 58 and grew up as a kid in the 70’s and this song was and always will be a nostalgic gift. I played drums and guitar, never made it a profession but I can tell you that this cover, if ever Rafferty and his band wanted to re-record an updated version; this would be it. Most bands kill songs for changing or leaving out precious intricacies, but you guys nailed it, seriously nailed it all…a musician’s dream - truly bravo and thank you 🙏 keep it up! This world has hope just yet!! ❤️ subscribed!

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much!

[@sledawgpilot]

Impressive. You guys left nothing out.

[@WhitemenaresoSexy]

Now look at that, young people today appreciate music of the past, that says a lot.

[@John-rw2zf]

So many great comments here. Gives old timers hope for the future to hear young people play such excellent music from the past. These kids are great.

[@lyndon_daly1889]

Gerry would be proud..vibes of my childhood 👏

[@michaellombard894]

Loved this song since 78. And now I get to hear an ALL GIRL band covering it...., Yes, even better....yes, I know, the lead singer is a guy, and that's great too!!!

[@mikaelhansson9613]

Good job! That saxophone part still sends shivers down my spine (and I was around when the song was new).

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much 😊🔆

[@gregsimpson621]

I got those shivers too listening to this awesome performance!

[@j81851]

Definitely best cover EVER!

[@jimlong4182]

I was too! This actually sounds very good!

[@charleskadletc2431]

AGREED 👍

[@claynelson8819]

Stunning performance of a rock classic from artists well ahead of their years in music.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you!!!

[@lorettahookano6139]

Bravo, bravo, bravo !

[@NickRoman]

I love that saxophone. It is this song.

[@maxthepupp]

I LOVE seeing kids just freakin' NAIL this!! Like few too many I feel pretty great about this young generation. Rock on! 🤘😎🤘

[@7ravenwolf]

This is hands down THE BEST cover of this song. Brilliantly played and produced. Gerry will be smiling down from heaven with delight at your classic rendition of his most amazing song. You got everything spot on. Thank you.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much :))

[@ditto355]

Well done!! 🎉

[@richardhankinson4533]

This is a wonderful remake thanks I love it I was born in 54 so I do know it by Jerry.

[@John-ni1lt]

Greatest Sax performance in a rock and roll song.

[@mikeschumacher9715]

Gerry Rafferty was a demanding and very articulate musician. You have a great cover here, Gerry would be proud.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you sooo much 🤗

[@rocketpost1]

Perfect cover of this classic song by three excellent young musicians. The iconic sax solo of Raphael Ravenscroft was perfectly recreated as were all the instrumental parts. Bravo.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much!!!

[@ghostwood9174]

Agreed. I did a double eyebrow raise hearing that sax work for first time. Absolutely nailed it 👌

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much :)

[@rickbrandtstarman1724]

My God Noah....Like I had mentioned I can't seem to get enough and the awesome works of all of you I am...well...still breathless. Thank you son. ! thanks to ALL of you. I know it was a while back but we can make it like it's every day thanks to YOU (:

[@TOPTENTRAVEL01]

Not the song I would think young people would gravitate to, but so glad you did! This song used to rule radio.

[@truelies3690]

Wow!!! The closest so far I've heard of Baker street since the summer of 1978! Great year. Great music. Great country, great time to be alive. You guys are extremely talented. Mr. Rafferty would be proud and honored. Almost identical to the original 1978 mega hit. I know, i was there like 10's of millions alive then and now. Good luck to you all in all you achieve in your lives. Memories of an America so different in many ways.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much!

[@truelies3690]

@@NoahBenedikt You are welcome because it's the truth. Beautiful blond long hair blue eyes will certainly help you. Take care of yourself, exercise, eat good real food and drinks. Take your vitamins and say your prayers. You will be playing music for next 100 years. How about Time Passages by Al Stewart?, another 1978 mega hit. Or Nicolette Larson's mega hit Lotta Love, another late 1978 mega hit. I know I'm pushing it. Keep it up, don't stop. Love it and you. Wish you were my son.

[@mdogg1604]

Tonight, as I listen to you all, I feel...hopeful!! TY so much; real music is still alive!

[@lesbrown8099]

Glorious!❤❤❤ One of rock’s best guitar solos…

[@davidgrason161]

What can i say? I'm absolutely blown away. You young folks just KILLED it! Here are some things I noticed. I never realized how complex the bass part was until I saw this video. Bass player had it nailed. Also, I'm not a drummer but it does my heart good to see a drummer using a traditional grip. It let's me know that this young lady wasn't self taught. I've played in bands all my life and I hate playing with self taught drummers. They're so arrogant and think they know so much when in reality, they don't know squat. I'm not saying that all drummers that use a matched grip are self taught but it's just about a safe bet that any drummer that uses a traditional grip is not going to have a fully blown out of proportion ego. The bongos were not very loud but WOW, I could not only hear them, I could definitely feel them. That was a nice touch. You covered the synthesizer part with a block flute? (recorder?) I would have never thought of that. I love the saxophone's riffs at the end of the song. I was wondering how you folks were going to end it. Anyway! Fantastic job all around.

[@slavaukraini404]

Sina's touch on drums is second to none. Incredible gift. It's just perfection.

[@billnewell7786]

She sounds great but I wonder why she keeps changing from jeans to shorts and back again? Looks like it took several tries tie put this together.

[@FV-wi2ty]

@@billnewell7786 No change at all, it look like but it's the studio light.

As The Who sand, "The Kids are Alright!" I don't worry so much about our future when I see such talent in a younger generation.

[@thatfeeble-mindedboy]

You saved my typing a reply… my thoughts exactly. I graduated in 77 and I remember thinking that a guitar solo that could be this melodic, this coherent, and this artistically consistent with the rest of the song, YET still absolutely kick ASS, was uncommon enough that it shouldn’t be taken for granted, and that I should start noticing it more, and sooner.

I am almost 70 and THIS song came out in the late 1970's. I was living in Okinawa with my then Marine husband. It was my favorite song. So impressed and glad to see these young people take a classic like Baker Street, give a tremendous performance and also give the song some recognition again. WOW. I think young folks are going back and finding there are some treasures in these old classics.

[@NoahBenedikt]

Thank you so much :)))

Absolutely brilliant cover of a classic song from my youth, 50 years ago! Certainly the most "authentic" cover of ANY song I have ever heard. Most "covers" sit really uncomfortably between being authentic or being an "new interpretation", even when being done by the original artist. You guys nailed it!
