Guy tips $20 for Baker Street - Street guitarist rips hot Gerry Rafferty cover 7/4/19

[@botabob]

Baker Street is one of the songs that you cannot turn off the car until the song is over. Tell me it isn't so..... Very nice...

[@mb13972]

That's why I have it on my iPod; I can listen to it whenever I want and if I have to leave the car I can start it all over again when I get back in.

[@tenaciousone4721]

My brother makes me mixed cd's still, though I am sure not much longer. This on my list for every one of them. It's a good driving song to.

[@montiliviomonty411]

Hell yeah brother !!!!!!!!! I’m taking the long way home !!!!!!!!

[@ActualAzTeC]

@@montiliviomonty411 for real, baker street is known for being a great song to listen to while crusin’

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

a real musical journey - the Expressionistic master of pop music

[@ricks.1318]

For ALL the "self-centered" idiots in this world, it is NICE to know that There ARE some GOOD folks that APPRECIATE someone that can & DOES share their "talents" with others ..... You ARE a very talented artist !!!!!

[@Walks-With-Pride]

This is one of my favorite songs. I'm glad to know that someone had the grace to show some appreciation for your wonderful talent.

[@intentionaloffside8934]

It’s on everyone’s favorite list! I still remember the first time I heard it while installing a tape deck in my 71 Pinto.

[@victorunitt5109]

I agree ; it's one of those perfect tracks that come along every now and then , and earn a darned good life span .

[@rtrobinson88321]

I say this alot but another great job. I don't know how people just walk by. I would be standing in front of you listening. You are a great guitarist

[@Grover91]

Because music to most people now is computerised pumped out crap.real talent means nothing to them.

[@cryptomaniac8187]

DUDE!!! You are an absolute TONE MONSTER!!! Sweet!

[@russelldresh7832]

I can't believe the number of people that walk past you without giving you a second look, never mind stopping to listen and enjoy your great music. Doesn't it P you off?

[@shatnershairpiece]

Yes, it does. But I have to overcome that to keep playing.

[@txmetalhead82xk]

Guy nearly stepped on his guitar bag near the end smh. Some people just always have to be in a hurry. Ridiculous. That was straight flames!! Awesome

[@donnarupert4926]

Excellent rendition of “Baker Street” Gerry would be proud 🙋🏽‍♀️💕

[@alliehartom5978]

I used to listen to this on an 8track driving between Savannah and Atlanta every weekend. Love your rendition!

[@terrybell6527]

You play so well...I can't believe that someone hasn't snatched you up yet. You are better than most of the original guitarists I've ever Heard! I dont see how those people can walk past you without stopping to listen to you play. I would be there all day long everyday!

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

the music industry is a very incestual play ground unfortunately

[@stevecraig3004]

Robin, there are quite a few people listening on the periphery-- your talent isn't completely wasted. Keep up the good work!

[@shatnershairpiece]

Yeah, I'm just going to keep blazing from home. Thanks.

[@tomcampbell8903]

The rock that made growing up so much fun .

[@dicater8614]

That guy was certainly given his money's worth. This is absolutely ace, so many good memories attached to this music. Thanks, Robin.

[@riverbankfisher]

You were in the zone on this day, fer sure. This was a take-no-prisoners tour-de-force performance worthy of multiple replays.

[@shatnershairpiece]

Thanks!

[@susanhenshaw622]

I remember when this song was released....those were the days! Thanks!👍🎼

[@bimalrai21]

Folks on the street oblivious to this classic; even if they weren't aware, the "haunting, soul searching" guitar solo should be justifiable enough to make them pause and lend their ears.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

Loved the interpretation brings it back to the demo version :) , it was respectful the lines you played over his original lyrics - RIP Rafferty - what a subtle incredible musician - very sneaky that Rafferty .

[@neoviv]

You absolutely smashed an already smashing song. Well done good Sir!!

[@DrummerforChrist550]

60s 70s and early 80s was the best music.👍

[@tracycollins3241]

One of my all time favorite songs! Awesome tone and a killer guitarist !!!

[@atypocrat1779]

Dang man. Your playing gives me the chills. Just amazing.

[@mustafakemal9547]

One of the most beautiful renditions of one of the most beautiful songs ever, total respect brother

[@jezm1703]

Not seen before. Beautiful interpretation Robin. One of my all time favourites and takes me right back to the 70s when I was doing a lot of travelling. Wistful or what! Gerry Rafferty was a great songwriter and I well remember the tribute concert to him after his death where amongst others, Jack Bruce performed in a fantastic concert !! Keep on keeping on my friend !

[@lamoncheri5823]

Breathless...this song is part of my youth and brings me back to the carefree 70's

[@epb7284]

This was very cool Robin! Such a great cover of a sweet song and that was very generous of the passerby. I also noticed the man in orange tapping his foot.

[@jamesh8648]

I sat in awe and watched you play every single note, bend and slide...absolutely tranfixed. A true professional musician with soul. I loved it my friend. Blessings from England UK.🎸👏

[@shatnershairpiece]

Wow, thank you! reaching people is very rare these days so I’m very happy to have reached you.

[@dyr234]

I could just plop up a beach chair and chill here.

[@justsavetheplace]

Even the baby in the stroller at the end starts to rock out! Nice job, man.

[@humunguswarrior]

Frikkin amazing sir! I'm blown away at your skill, talent, and ability!

[@jadegreen1554]

Wow…. That’s an interesting cover… Sax and guitar SO well done and on the STREET!!!. This is special. One of the best songs ever and you did a great job. Not all covers can do that.

[@leroyusa935]

Amazing how your agile fingers can work such magic. I never knew how complex an electronic guitar could sound. All I can say is that a recording engineer will certainly be in a state of nirvana during any session with you! You've captured every nuance, even on a busy street. Amazing quality that I can't even begin to analyze, but that's what makes you really stand out from the crowd.

[@forrykook]

I've said this to my wife often, that if we ever go to Vancouver then I'm gonna pack a thermos of coffee and a chair and go find where you're playing. This is awesome.

[@kennethhasuik8042]

Baker Street is still one of my favourite songs from the 70's. Just recently found and joined your channel. Your a very talented artist love your playing. Been a writer myself for many years. Keep up your good work it's very much appreciated.

[@shatnershairpiece]

Welcome aboard! Thanks very much! I also used to write comedy. Still have a satire book on Freud I need to publish.

[@waltr6081]

Wow. That's worth coming back late from late from lunch to hear. Another great tune by same artist, Right Down the Line, is forgotten.

[@747Durango]

Loved your version. You ripped it up and brought some people out of their walking comas and back into reality.

[@jvm1960]

WOW! That was awesome my friend!

[@jacquelinejenkins2616]

I used to turn the radio up and listen to this song on my way into work in my '76 Subaru. Love it! Another great song from the master! Thank you Robin! So glad that someone tipped you! 🙂❤️

[@bakerxpops5570]

Hands down....a 100% A+ of all A+’s in performances.

[@tomcampbell8903]

Agreed

[@georgebaumes4414]

I keep going back and looking for the videos that I haven't seen before and you never disappoint.

Happy to hear that!

OMG I love Baker Street since 40 years now. Your version is so blazing hot! And you did the instrumental of the voice so beautiful. Thank you Sir !

Come on man, you gonna spoil me twice with another amazing version of the one I watched from 2021 in the future lol .... look man, I count myself very lucky to be able to see and enjoy what you do, thank you bro !

[@Randylayhe001]

Another excellent performance, your selections are great songs in my opinion

[@johnvarholak1]

Brilliant. Just brilliant. A true talent. Damn.

[@johnvarholak1]

I wish I was in your town. I’d listen all day. No doubt I would fill up that guitar case. Brilliance deserves appreciation (and attention).

[@brucedickert5411]

First time commenting after about 25 of your videos....That was freakin awesome!

[@aussiemountainman7531]

Great interpretation Robin. “Baker Street” always reminds me of driving down the highway alone after midnight with my head out the window to stay awake & having the track cranked up 🌌🚙🎸

[@g0fvt]

Awesome to cover a song that pivoted around a saxophone, a great talent. Live music is a wonderful thing, it is a shame that people rush past, busy lives....

[@ianinvancouverbc]

used to play this with two guitars in a band back in 1980-81

[@philjudd3473]

This is a great rendition of an incredible song! Why no comments? Nuts...

[@shatnershairpiece]

because I was unknown until last week.

[@mortvader]

@@shatnershairpiece Now you're famous on KZbin. I hope it expands even further for you! Love your music!

Another great song from the UK.

[@davekuhn1770]

Dude I'd go to an ATM, max out my withdrawal, and straight up empty my wallet into your guitar case upon hearing this... Okay, maybe not max out, but this is worth $100. Nice job man.

[@shatnershairpiece]

thanks! tip link in description of video.

[@mustafakemal9547]

Dear Shatner Hairpiece fans- i recommend watching some of this stuff at slowed down speeds, just before min 4.50 switch to 0.5 speed and watch the skill of this man..

[@williamjohnson1264]

I like both versions the original and yours , bravo ! , virtual hand claps and thumbs up ! You know, I wouldn't be surprised that some people in that crowd might think , because you're hooked up to a device that , it's playing and you're just Air Guitaring ! Well,...probably not a lot of them , just a thought. People can be dense sometimes.

[@shatnershairpiece]

yes, I am sure that happens sometimes. but I think most people here are generally apathetic and don’t care what I do. I’ve played one handed solos for 10 minutes and people still don’t look.

[@gabestorm7150]

Amazing covers of the best songs, playing it better than the original song, I love your videos. Hello from Phoenix, Arizona.

[@shatnershairpiece]

Wow, thank you!

[@visualkaos8535]

That is a fantastic version of Baker Street. Love it! Thank you

[@shatnershairpiece]

Glad you like it!

Love that song reminds me of going to fla on spring break back in high school.

There should have been 20's flying in right and left for this performance!! Outstanding, especially from 4:45 on >>>!!

Wow, excellent work, yet again. I loved this Jerry Rafferty song.

Was this used as the soundtrack for a TV show back in the day? I remember hearing it many times but never knew the name.
