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 !

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!

[@bascountrymusic]

That guitar and sax solo🎉🎉🎉wow

[@randygarciaislive]

My daily playlist consists mainly of HSCC. Your renditions of some of the most important songs in history are on another level. Cheers and Kudos and many thanks .

[@Miko19691]

This show leaves you speechless. So wonderful. Greetings from Finland.

[@paulrosebush9137]

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

I've heard very few covers that ever did Gerry's song justice, which I think is one of the most iconic pop songs ever written or recorded, but you guys are spot on.....

[@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"! 😂

[@olgagon3550]

Excellent, good job. From SPAIN❤

[@DrSeve]

I thought HSCC's "Summer Breeze" or "Betty Davis Eyes" couldn't be beat. Then this version of "Baker Steer" is better than the original. Tighter and more dynamic. Every musician brought their "A" game. Best cover ever, guys. 10/10. Thank you...

[@Bob-tg8dz]

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

[@ronmullard5718]

An excellent tribute to the late great Gerry Rafferty.....👍👌👏

Oh oh. Appears I did it again. With this opinion I refer to "missing you". Somehow I continue to post under the incorrect performance???? This Rafferty vibe is also Top Tier without a doubt though.

[@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 !
