Foo Fighters - Baker street

Verdammt geiles Cover von den Foo Fighters, welches auf dem Album
"The Colour and the Shape" als B-Seite enthalten ist.

I had no idea this cover existed until 5-minutes ago.

It ... is ... glorious!!!

Anyone else here cause it’s not on Spotify

This song is sadly overlooked in the discussion of the greatest cover songs ever made. FF stayed true to the original song but still managed to make it their own. It is easily recognizable as Baker Street, but also easily recognizable as a Foo Fighters song!

Dave I can.t Thank You Enough for keeping me Off the Streets with MusiCares. You literally saved my Ass from 19 Months of Homelessness. I am a Drummer that lost everything, Wife, Home, my Family, my Car, my little home Studio, my favorite Drumset and the little money I worked so hard to save 20 years of manuel Labor. I had to retire from live shows also because of Health issues. Thanks Again, Jonathan

This is the first "released" FF cut with Taylor Hawkins on the kit. Such a sad loss today.

Am so happy that Dave Grohl respects his predecessors and covers their music. Amazing cover of a classic!

[RicoBurghFan]

The original was an iconic masterpiece but the Foos version is respectful and kicks ass at the same time. A masterpiece unto itself.

[CycloneCyd]

Fantastic version in it's own right. I love this and I love the original. RIP Gerry

[brmcmm]

I never knew foos did a cover of this song! That’s was bloody awesome!!!

[jeffreythompsen]

Miss you so so much Taylor... Thank you for being you and may your memory be a blessing.

I was in College when I saw Jerry Rafferty do this one and then 20 some years later the Foo Fighters picked it up and ran with it.  BOTH versions are beautiful and powerful.  I would NEVER dare to say that one is "better".  It depends on my mood which version I feel like hearing.  Art is in the eye (ear?) of the beholder.  Rock On!!

[Ryan.DeL]

Thank you to everyone saying that they like both versions, not bitching cause someone likes one over the other. I heard this one first (cause I'm a huge Foo fan) but then fell in love with the original.

[roadmasterrod]

very tough song to for having the wisdom to choose it and the talent to give it a nice

[greyman]

It is November 1, 2019...and this one still ROCKS. Loved the original, loved this too! BOTH ARE GREAT!

[notanavrageloser]

Holy shit, I had no idea how much I needed this in my life.

[melissadietrich]

Baker Street was one of my fav all-time songs, and I love the Foo Fighters, so this is the perfect blend to me!

[randynixon]

I was in 2nd year of college when Rafferty did this. I freaking Loved it. I was out of the military, had a great job, 2 kids and a house when Foo Fighters did this, I freaking Loved it. One is NOT BETTER than the other. It is art and cannot be quantified in terms like "better". Knuckleheads...

[Draco_Alpha]

fun fact... Gerry Rafferty originally intended for the sax part of the original to be played on a guitar, but he wasn't able to find a guitarist when they went to record. so i feel like this is faithful to the original vision while still adding a unique spin. bravo to Dave for knocking this out of the park!

[PauIieWalnuts]

Outstanding cover. So good it got radio play repeatedly on Chicago radio.

[fhbcfcvcb]

this is why I watch youtube
Dave G is possibly one of the coolest musicians of modern times.
