Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street (Live TV) 1978

this might be too saxy for TGP

Live lip sync'd performance

 

[teleman1]

I have been a fan from the first time I heard this song,(even through its radio overplay). Surprised he plays bass on this lip sync performance.

Was he high? His eyes aren't moving, much like mine.

You mean your normal look like your pic in the avatar?

Great song. That one brings back vivid memories for me.

 

[DrumBob]

We do this song in one of the bands I'm in. It always goes down well.

 

[Cal Webway]

Great song, jive syncynesses

 

[DustyRhodesJr]

Absolutely wore that album out when I was a kid.

Sad that Rafferty passed away a few years ago.

 

[Steve Hotra]

"Live" TV?
Its a cool song, but to reproduce the actual recording "live" might be hard to do.
Whatever happened to GR after this song? One hit wonder?

 

[Fred132]

Other songs from the the "City to City" album besides Baker Street charted. "Right Down the Line" comes to mind.

Then of course there was his hit with Stealers Wheel.

 

[DustyRhodesJr]

City to City was one of those rare albums that is not only a hit album, it is basically like a
greatest hits album, even though it was not intended to be.

Every song is good.

[Sean French]

I've always dug that solo.
Heard it a couple of years before I really started playing.

 

[Custom50]

Not live. Playing along to the recording.

Anyways, it's the kind of thing I don't usually like but I actually REALLY like that song. It's catchy and brings back alot of great memories from a particularly great summer for me. Funny how a song can do that huh?

 

[Bluesful]

Always been a great tune.

Billy Connolly has some great stories of GR and his pranks when they were touring as the Humblebums.

 

[Tone_Terrific]

Always been a great tune.

A worthy hit.
That guitar solo does sound very LP - ish,

 

[Spooky Action]

He suffered from extreme stage fright. Explains the mannerisms perfectly.

 

[59refin]

Great song but possibly the worst 'synced performance I've ever seen. Vocals, sax, guitar, not even close.
