Baker Street - Foo Fighters

The original by Gerry Rafferty is a classic with an incredible saxophone riff. But what if you take the sax out?

Turns out it’s still pretty incredible

I was unaware of this cover version of Baker Street. Is there nothing the foo can’t do?

A very melodic solo with an excellent tone.
While I'm all for making major changes on a cover (I do it myself), I would have left Baker Street alone.
I don't dislike the FF cover, but I would call it inferior to the original.
