Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!! Mr. Rafferty would be so proud. I've never heard a cover of this song that was anywhere near this good. Bravo!!

[@tonymillar5342]

There's a reason for that Paul. @theHindleyStreetCountryClub doesn't "cover" songs. HSCC Reinvents songs. Following the original, but with different instrumental and vocal nuances. That's what makes them "better than the original " That's why we go and see them live on stage whenever we can ! ##hsccfantasticfriday

[@paulrosebush9137]

@@tonymillar5342 Quite right!

[@kamlog]

​@@tonymillar5342 I wish we could do this too. They have to come to Germany as soon as possible.

[@dandamerville]

Wonderful version of a stunningly beautiful song: lyrics, singing, arrangement, solos. Superb!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Agreed.

[@ronkeyes659]

I'll second that sentiment!

[@CraigWinstanley1]

To equal the voice of Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011), the sax riff of Raphael Ravenscroft (1954-2014) and the guitar solo by Hugh Burns on the original version of “Baker Street” is an almost impossible feat. You guys nailed this song cover perfectly !!! Fantastic performance by a top-notch group of musicians and vocalist !

[@WilsonAlonsoDJr]

Belíssima interpretação!!!

[@mesaeddie]

I saw somewhere that Raphael waited 2 years to get paid for his incredible playing. When he got the checks it was for thirty some dollars and it bounced.

[@CROSSRAP]

Amen to all that! And give it up for the conga player and flautist! Heck, every person playing or singing on that stage is top notch!

[@Bob-tg8dz]

Old enough to remember the original, this is a first class interpretation of a classic . Congrats to all .

[@jivebunny3765]

This is the best sax I've had in years.

[@Wishpool]

Giggle! 😆🎷

[@tonymillar5342]

You need to see them live. Be part of it. That's "Really Great Sax" !

[@multioptioned]

Some prefer sax with "Young Americans" or when it's "Urgent". But others say the best sax is when it's "Yakety Sax"! 😂

I’ve listened to the Gerry Rafferty rendition of this hundreds of times. I guess I’ll now be listening to the HSCC rendition from this point on. The lyrics are so powerful and your performance on this was so over the top, just like it was the first time I ever heard it! (Glad to see Steve Todd back). Keep it up HSCC!

[@raymondallo9947]

Oh my, 1978 just started Uni. What memories and played the album City to City to bits. Such an iconic song. And what a performance guys. So glad you are covering all these great songs from the past and give them the light of day to show what good music is. Danny is amazing, but together you all are truely bringing this home. Top shelf musicians.

[@johnfarnhamexperience]

Sensational to one and all, and also to the cameraman that gave everyone that had their solo specialty... but most of all hats off and respect to Jason McMahon on sax, who would've been feeling the pressure with that song with the million subscribers and watchers of this video... in the history of music there is only a handfull of songs that are known for their sax solos, and Baker Street is one of those songs... Good onya Jason... an extra mention to Tom Noonan for your littel flute solos, and I loved the Congas with Steve Todd, good stuff mate...

[@patriciarose6371]

Well said ! The sax is hauntingly beautuful.Has to be amongst the best instrumentals ever recorded !

[@jeanpendergast8633]

I’m honestly speechless!!! Bravo Fellas!!! Love y’all ❤️❤️❤️

[@archstanton9206]

This is why HSCC is on top. This was amazing in all respects...the musicians, all of them, just kill it, and the vocals...Danny apparently can sing anything. You guys are re-writing the book when it comes to cover bands. You are the standard. The Sax line in this song is one of the best written in modern music...and wow was it powerful here. Thanks for this one guys.
