Foo Fighters - Baker Street

[@sagjig2]

How the hell did I not know this existed till now. It's a cover of one of my favorite songs, by my favorite band, on *my favorite album*.

[@ianh1504]

sagjig2 guess you shoulda listened to the whole album

[@jayfermin7449]

It's not on the album. Its on one of the singles (which we had back then) along with "dear lover". It's just a thumbnail of "the color and shape" album.

[@Fatality2k6]

i believe it also was on the japanese version of this album.. not sure but kickass cover song anyway 🤘

[@byronmcginn3768]

They had some copyright problems...it wasnt available for awhile...but they evidently sorted it out...thank God. Best cover ever made.

[@oliviaheath1121]

I got this song on a bonus disc when I bought the main album in the mid nineties. I was a kid from West Auckland... it was the best first album I could've bought.

[@alvinrodgers934]

I’m in my car on a CA desert highway and the throttle is floored. Incredible doom is just ahead and I can’t wait to get there. That’s how I hear this song. Great cover.

[@IsThatRabz]

U and i both brothet

[@SuperStrik9]

Pretty cool. When Gerry Rafferty wrote the song originally the famous sax line was a guitar line. Cool to hear it in that form even if it's a cover.

[@SmallPersonRoo]

SuperStrik9 you can hear the original form. They released the original demo of Baker Street, with Rafferty playing the solo on guitar

[@jasoncarpp7742]

This is the best version *I've* heard of *"Baker Street"* since Gerry Rafferty's own version. :)

[@marleneeasters6164]

Indeed

[@mikethaxton4935]

Its the only version there is

[@mikethaxton4935]

While its good it aint as good as the original !

[@jasoncarpp7742]

If you haven't listened to Gerry Rafferty's version of *"Baker Street"*, check it out. It's a masterpiece!

[@mikethaxton4935]

Jason Carpp yes ! When it came out I was 14 and it gave me goosebumps ! Later it matched my life lol

[@AliceInPantera]

I could listen to this riff on loop for eternity

[@mattgilbert7347]

Ikr? Especially that rhythm guitar, that big sound. It's huge!

[@tp10488]

that's what I love about the Foo's. They can take a timeless classic song like this and in some ways, make it better.

[@anonymoussource5344]

Did. They’re not doing that much now.

[@leonardcostea4979]

What's this way better stuff ? It's a strong effort, but not in the same class !

[@reignfire77]

those guitars are so raw, i love it

[@amlouden]

Best. Cover. Ever

[@leonardcostea4979]

Disagree !

[@electricfetus4729]

I remember taping this off the radio and listening to this on my walkman mix i made

[@ronaldsmith6161]

Now that's a fantastic cover.

[@ericcannon2765]

I hope someday when people look back they say...yeah Foo fighters we're just awesome. I mean years of great original rock and the covers. Dave g is simply awesome

[@diorhoudini3876]

Never have I ever heard a cover that has brought me back for 7+ years

[@barry7920]

It took me awhile to develop an ear for the Foo Fighters, but I am really getting hooked - a very impressive band with a great sound and very respectful of different styles and other artists, which I think is so cool...

[@chancer1995]

The Foo's can do nothing wrong in my book! Awesom, Awesome Cover!!

[@killiter1997]

Was ripping CDs from my radio station's library when I came across the entire foo fighters discography. Downloaded it and gave it a listen. Forever will remember how confused I was to find this track in my personal library a bit later. How is it that collectively, we all love this cover, but consistently forget about it's existence?

[@johnaa007]

This is awesome

[@rudyorosco7644]

Awsome just Awsome this band can play just about anything RIP Tayor.

[@jacobestrada7115]

R.i.p taylor hawkins gone to soon.

[@Beemerboy324]

Wow, this is a GREAT cover. Way to go, Dave.

[@AngelaHackettSpooky]

This cover just made my life today...thx foos! I needed that!🙌😊🤘

[@Starbackermec]

Covering this song improved my already sky-high opinion of the Fighters of FOO! What a great song to hear redone by such music talent!!!

[@mindbendernine]

My favorite Foo Fighters track. Brilliant and incredible. Dave - you are the genius I always believed you were. Bravo! Formula One cars should fly through the air with this song playing.

[@Desertburro21]

I wish this song made my friends come back to life.

[@Judy-qm5eo]

🫁

[@alexpate8626]

Never stop living 🤘 they’d want you to enjoy life

[@thecovidventriloquist1970]

I would love to hear this live! What a great version of this awesome song!

[@mulvavroop]

The Foos have pretty good taste in covers, that's for sure.

[@loneconcern2639]

Just continuously creating hit song after hit song...the soundtrack to our lives folks. W/Foo Fighter flare thanks David G..4 another reason to smile

[@brendonbookman3262]

It couldn't sound like the original. Foo Fighters were a 90's band and I'm impressed with this, particularly giving up the crack and the one night stands.

[@nicholaswrestler1241]

Brendon Bookman glad that I never had.

[@mitchellharris4040]

"Crack" didn't exist in 1971. That's when the original Gerry Rafferty song became popular.

[@jayfry-tv]

This song is EPIC - ⚡️⚡️

[@depressedscoobydoo7070]

NOSTALGIA!

[@nancyl2]

"I love the sax" but the 'guitar' is a beautiful sound coming forth. The vocals really smooth and most delightful....can understand the lyrics always a ++++ for me. Thanks for posting. 4:00 some chilling sounds flowing into my headphones turned way way UP. ;-) Love the Foo Fighters sound. This tune is most delicious to my spirit. ;-)

[@deadendfriends1975]

Bought this as a single in London in '97

[@goodmusic3847]

The best cover of all time

[@jameshetfield1642]

When was this on the album well now I'm happy

[@Streetzsanchez]

That guitar solo. Damn

[@floydpink37]

Excellent remake of an excellent song.

[@PeterC79]

this track was on the 1997 austalian tour edition, which featured the cover artwork with the colours reversed (grey background, blue lines) and came with the bonus tracks 'drive me wild', 'requiem' and 'dear lover'......then it disappeared and was re-released with the '07 version of 'the colour and the shape'

[@carlosmarks3787]

I really like this cover. The atmosphere of the music seems a distance away, it is like a dome, or a graffitti that is made on the street walls as the main character of the songlyrics is walking home. ... ... ... ...

[@Duxon315]

at the end of a tunnel is how it sounds to me, I agree

[@SwedeProof]

Got goosebumps and damn near swooned hearing this cover! I mean, Dave Grohl & Foo Fighters hit this out of the fucking Universe!!!

[@vpdisco]

I discovered this version on Napster, which was really good for finding little gems like this that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. But, ohhhh no! That wasn't good enough for Lars.

[@RealAndrewOrtiz]

Damnit Lars!

[@jravell]

Didn't Lars explain himself well enough?

[@georgebarry8640]

@@jravell ...and this is what started the destruction of the music business. Spotify currently pays .03 cents per live stream. Can you blame Lars and the others for wanting to get paid for their work? No sober person works for free. And you,thankfully, know that.

[@Rowsie02]

Pshhh best cover ever

[@macknoeth1103]

Unreal

[@michaelwallbrown3726]

i hope it's the only cover

[@meimei10100]

I’m dying, this will be my funeral song.

[@jesacoggins9745]

Now wanting this at mine too!

[@greyman0000]

I cry a little inside evertime I hear the original version. This one feels the same. Not surprised.

[@Cap683]

Not available on the streaming services.

[@Descordado]

esta cancion es muy linda! gracias por compartirla! :)

[@gregkindberg850]

it sounds like they were just jamming and realized it was great

[@cqmorrell]

How the best songs came to be :)

[@scottgadsby522]

Sweet cover.Gave an already great track a harder ballsy edge

[@tangoseven2]

These guys are it....nuff said!!!

[@tjl4041]

I really love the ending to this song but the song is great period.

[@mstewart84057]

This is a great cover!

[@r.a.o.c.2592]

You know something after all this time? I would get both versions of this song. I love in this way. Listen to the original version when meditating and preparing for your goals. And listen to the second during your progress and the completion of your goals..... I like them both

[@tremorchristlester4688]

I love the Foos version of this song. It's heavy and it slaps

[@nickbelanger4670]

I thought I wasn't going to like this version, but it was pretty good.

[@henrydurham8456]

Hellyeah...Gerry Rafferty would be proud!

[@arnierivera8323]

Henry Durham Amen Brother

[@danielbeller972]

Foo's are brilliant. This is what a rock group should sound like.

[@planetjacker2005]

Good song, covered by a good band. Can't go wrong.

[@allisongrant3094]

I love this because all the saccharine flavour of the original that makes it “oh so 80s” is gone. It’s a great song with the proper dose of grunge upcycling.

[@Raellives]

Was recorded in ‘77

[@7viewerlogic670]

Awesome!

[@NightbirdTributeTV]

if you want the sax, LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL. They are doing their version. Nuff said.

[@ianh1504]

NightbirdTributeTV i dunno, its kinda like leaving out the harmonica in a cover of Mary Jane's Last Dance

[@CharlesHuse]

There's been a lot of recent remakes of classic hits lately. This was the first that I can think of in the late 90s. One of my favs is Godsmack's Sully on a grand piano covering Metallica's Nothing Else Matters.

[@inescapableutopia4505]

Totally agree. The guitar is a greet instrument, but definitely not a replacement for the saxophone.

[@robbiestewart89]

Either that or try to find Gerry Rafferty's demo version that he originally composed on a guitar.

[@jenkovacs9670]

Best concert ever

[@GTRVspec95]

It's also on the Australian Tour edition of the 'Colour and the Shape', from memory I think there are 3 bonus tracks I'll need to find my copy

[@Falcone3717]

great cover, great band

[@davidh2136]

Excellent Cover.. This kicks Ass!

[@vampyretime177]

I why can't I buy or find this anywhere?

[@TheMJN75]

My musical heroes!!!

[@latenitelovehits2915]

Foo Fighters....🤘🤘

[@thomaslee1753]

Great cover!

[@frankhanley3204]

Rocked this C.D.

[@ainokea465]

Wonderful cover of a great song. I do like the lyric update from booze to crack. The next person to remake this song should change crack to meth! heh!

[@ShawtyPhatt]

Bwahahahahahahahaha 🤣

[@electricfetus4729]

This takes me back to like freshman year of highschool

[@electricfetus4729]

maybe it was eighth grade, i forget.

[@MissMeggarz142]

7th grade. Then my office job played soft rock and I heard the original. Freaking awesome.

[@easyriderrider4580]

Good Will Hunting, Anyone?? Only the Greatest Movie Ever Made!! :)

[@MacitaXN]

It's on a special edition of the CD, it has 6 bonus tracks (incluiding this cover)

[@MST3Killa]

I bought the deluxe album in 2023 just to get this one song because it's not available anywhere else. Obnoxious, but necessary

[@shawnhapney8784]

Fuckin' Great Cover!!!

[@jbrushreckel1]

Great cover. .....it ranks up there with the original.

[@mexican__joker_guerrero1855]

I heard this song on 94.5 the buzz

[@stevecosmolove1045]

Mexican_ _Joker_Guerrero hard to believe 94.5 used to play such awesome music, but its true! Lots of Greenday and Kurt on that station too in those glorious days of rock...who would have known they were so glorious

[@BHVM27]

I miss the old buzz :(

[@robbiestewart89]

Used to hear this on 106.7 WXVO back in the late 90's. Then it moved over to 98.7 for a few years before Dick Broadcasting flipped the staton over to smooth jazz.

[@johnaristotle3736]

I had a yellow AM transistor radio that used a 9 volt Eveready battery. Used fall asleep listening to music like this and kill the battery. Mom would yell at me for wasting money on the batteries. The good ole days.

[@DessieQT]

Weren't on spotify :( I browsered for hours and didn't find it there, that's making me mad cuzz I love this song and this veersion :O

[@AdieNZ1987]

I've got a Cd from my brother n law of the foo's with Baker Street on it called My Hero (Uk CD single) but it's not on The Colour and Shape, just had a look at it

[@whch513]

On the actual album album it’s the B side. It’s been out since the 90s. Gets radio place in Cincinnati still too. Easily best cover song ever done.

[@Pimentelss]

Uma pena não ter no Spotify

[@FGARDEZ]

Pq será que tiraram??

[@christineyvonnemoreno4904]

A jam 🎸

[@mna406]

uf što su ovi dobro praštali, volim ovaj album,

[@Presto_King]

So shit how this isn't available through Spotify. They don't have the deluxe album! My most watched KZbin vid by far!

[@MichaelSmith-wu8rv]

Great remake

[@Mrssanaiftikhar]

i love you Dave

[@Frodusgirl]

it's on the Extended Version of Colour and the Shape

[@killerboots1979]

best of me foo fighters

[@justinsmith9044]

this song is rocks

[@erdwinjc]

this was bad ass !!!

[@MarcosVinicius-yz1vv]

Good cover ♥♥♥♥

[@braydenmackie2204]

This was the first song Taylor Hawkins recorded with the foo fighters, and its the first time the foo fighters as we know them played on tape. Rest In Peace, Taylor.

[@PerkeyFelwitch]

It is on the Expanded version of "The Color and The Shape" It was not on the initial release of the album :)

[@NowAndZen1734]

Loved the original...but I mentally married Dave Grohl when I heard this! Nothing like a sexy dude with a guitar OWNING everything about this! ❤︎

[@Dominitrixxx]

Great Cover.Period!

[@Ryan.DeL12]

They have it on The Color and the Shape 10th Anniversary album. Just bought it for $7.00 :D

[@michaelmorgan9905]

It's hard to find to buy

[@seanstratton8621]

Its cool mate the extended version obviously was never released in your country.....its on my copy..track 17

[@dustinsipes7782]

Song is bad ass!!

[@andreiwayneandrewbrucewayn3421]

Amazing sound quality for a 240p video!

[@dtdobbs]

I can't find this song on iTunes

[@JackandtheDoctor]
