Kind of shows how good Gerry Rafferty was.

[@gazzzza]

shows?? a lot of mis guide fucktarks out there

[@dekalbes335]

...kinda , ya.

[@michaelbailey8729]

yeh. lol

[@mikestevens2053]

The lead guitar part in Gerry's original was superb. This was just OK.

[@autumn1231]

Needed about 200 more rehearsals but the thought was there.

[@RamoMMV]

yo creo que le meten muchos instrumentos además q son músicos profesionales no están sincronizados, bien feita la versión

[@mrpentium]

beginning was wonky, but as soon as Dave did his improv,,,,,,, killed it... hit the groooove

[@jayrussell3796]

I don't think any amouny of rehearsals by anyone could do this song justice .

[@williamrodriguez296]

Rafferty was a great talent. Tragic story. This and Baker Street are two of the best songs ever written.

[@gazzzza]

only two songs? fuck go back and look and see what he wrote a hell of a lot then just two songs ,,phftttt

para mí es la mejor canción de la historia del rock

[@jayethompson3414]

Night Owl is incredible

[@ellenhenderson6865]

To all saying this is a bad cover, it’s sorta Live Karaoke. The show was thrown together. And, you know, Taylor woulda loved it. He loved imperfect stuff.

[@Oh_I_Will]

You don’t screw the crowd over with a crappy cover….

[@danielkokal8819]

singing off key sloppy guitar licks. uneven beat. bad mixing. OK for Karaoke or amateur night. But Foo ? this was hard to listen to.

[@knotwilg3596]

This is not an easy song to cover and not screw up, as FF demonstrate. Rafferty was a perfectionist and a master of harmony. So if you mess up the balance (drums way too loud), leave out instruments (organ) and don't prepare (guitar) ... then this is what you get. The lead singer actually does well and I believe the background singers too, but we don't hear them in the mix, while harmonies were key to Rafferty's music.

[@SM-po9wf]

Lead singer does great I think. Miike Snow is very good.

[@jimmcintyre397]

It helps if you’re in tune starting out, ffs! Painful and insulting. It’s an easy song structurally. This is embarrassing.

this is only a camera mic remember, not a desk recording

What the hell was that?

[@Gazza72]

Murdered a classic

[@dscott1699]

Oh wow, If there was ever a bad cover, this just may be it. Did they even practice this one? Sorry Gerry.

[@robchiappe9253]

The lead guitar player really struggled with this. What a mess, maybe his tuner was broken....

[@michaeldematteis9944]

The original was played with a slide.i hear you tho he kinda butchered it.

[@everly-shadystudios9900]

Even worse than that, he's a pretender who is delusional

[@christopherwinkler4451]

@@michaeldematteis9944 I was looking to see if anyone pointed this out. The original is played by Hugh Burns on slide guitar. But you can really only hear it at the end of the lead line, when he slides down just before the chorus. He also plays the rippin' solo on Baker Street.

[@MrBritrider]

I think his fingers were broken lol😵‍💫

[@robbiekoon6244]

OK, ok. They needed more rehearsals for damned sure. But the feeling is there. I've had plenty of times when I wasn't at my best, too. And if there's an afterllife, Gerry Rafferty wasn't off dissing a cover. He was jamming with Taylor and everyone else who dropped in.

[@sirpagandetyptoft6793]

sad these people think swearing is the way to exaggerate an opinion, gerry was a wordsmith so very different a man to these

[@South-paww11]

Do these "Musicians" even know this song ..That Guitar is painful! I had to go strait to the original just to rinse that out of my system!

[@denabergman6543]

I love this song. This was a tribute, in honor of someone who’s no longer earthbound. Be kind in your reviews.

[@scottnorris6393]

No, it was horrible. The guitarists (if that's what they really call themselves) should try buying a $20 tuner. It would really help their sound. Are they that broke?

[@petedavis7970]

Your comment is just confirmation that it wasn't an impressive rendition at all. Frankly, it could have been about 90% better in the hands of a guitarist could hit the notes, but his bends were way flat and it was kind of painful to listen do. The singer was mediocre and the rest were fine. Dave did great on drums, of course.

[@knotwilg3596]

Rafferty is no longer earthbound either and it didn't do him honor at all. If they are serious about mourning a friend, they shouldn't do it half heartedly like this. It would be ok if someone broke down with sadness, but that's not what happened. They had a brainstorm and thought they would pull it off, the stars they are. Well, no.

[@bobbybishop368]

No , it was a disgrace to Gerry's memory, his talent and his legacy.

[@martinturvey5057]

Could only manage a few seconds, just terrible. Sounded like my first band when I was 14 or so

[@briandickie1451]

Singing along with this was so cathartic; like the whole night.

[@alan93]

ouch , can someone explain why the keyboards are just setting on stage not being used during this hollow sounding cover?

[@genghis_connie]

Man, I've always loved this song. I'm trying to figure out who didn't rehearse. Dave should have finessed a bit. It's a ballad. Probably just adrenaline. I think it's the bass I hear guessing. Kind of a shame. I love the sentiment.

[@knotwilg3596]

They play a close harmony pop song as if it were power rock. The whole setup is aloof. The organ is not there, which forms the basic layer. The guitar is sloppy. The drums too loud. The musicians are too distant from each other. The lead and background singers can't see or hear each other either. I'm actually impressed with the singer's performance in this suicide mission.

[@genghis_connie]

[@lockedonlaw]

Considering Baker Street is one of the top ten albums of all time and impossible to replicate, it's fine they chose it. Gerry's legacy is safe. The man was a brilliant musician. He loved the art and hated the business.

[@asesoriaacademica4a985]

Definitivamente el problema es con la primera Guitarra, esta es una balada de Gerry Raferty, dedicada a su madre, que a pesar de tener otra relación, él como hijo supo respetar y le dio un lugar especial, es una balada hermosa. Este desafinamiento es para meterlo a la cárcel al guitarrista y de paso una violada.

[@ChuckD79]

FF are a talented group, nice how they covered this classic tune and I appreciate the thought/effort, but they definitely needed more rehearsals...the vocals were good, but the guitar was just painful to hear, which ruined it for me!
