Baby Blue (Badfinger cover)

[Bag0fRats]

Cover songs usually suck, but this sure is not part of usually.

[fredthejunkman]

@Bag0fRats - Thanks very much! We try not to suck.

[kitcat28]

omg!!i want to marry you guys!!!i love it,thank you,!!!

[fredthejunkman]

@kitcat28 - thank you! ( i think polygamy is illegal tho!)

[jeangenie43]

Excellent, excellent cover of this song Thanks for finding the true spirit of this song.

[fredthejunkman]

@jeangenie43 - thanks very much! we try to do just that, in every song we cover.

[mamaj1013]

I re-installed yt mp3 just so I could have this on my desktop for later listening pleasure!! 10 mofo STARS

[fredthejunkman]

@mamaj1013 - thank you very much! :-)

[lebarosky]

Uh, who are you people?! This is in some ways more powerful than the original. You certainly know where this song lives, and you give us exactly what we need to hear! Guitar work is best part of the cover. Thanks so much for doing one of my favorite old tunes so well. Vocals are excellent also.

[fredthejunkman]

@lebarosky -Thanks for the kind words. We're just a couple of guys (from TN and NY) who like to play.

[heartpunch99]

Wow, very nice. Covers are very hit and miss (mostly miss) here on youtube, but you guys did a great job!

[fredthejunkman]

@heartpunch99 - thanks HP99.

[edwardm60]

Usually I hate covers, but I listed out of curiousity. You boys did a darn good job. Lyrics were even crisper than the original.

[fredthejunkman]

@edwardm60 - thanks a lot Edward :-)

[smilinstevie88]

I plunk around on the six-string and have played this song for years. But you two do it better than anyone I've ever heard, except maybe the original Badfinger themselves. Ya gotta give Pete Ham credit for writing such a gem, but your performance equals, if not surpasses, the original version.

[fredthejunkman]

@smilinstevie88 -thanks very much Steve! Ham did indeed, write a gem. Too bad he's gone.

[rixmix76]

I play this myself and you guys did a GREAT job. My fave Badfinger song. Oh the memories. The Behind the Music documentary (also found here on YouTube) still makes me cry.

[fredthejunkman]

@rixmix76 - thanks very much for the kind word.

[Rhiannonlynn1970]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fredthejunkman]

@Rhiannonlynn1970 - thank you very much :-)

[radiojho]

Nice! I've been a Badfinger fan since back in the day. I got a chance to get to know Joey Molland from the group a few years ago and he's a decent guy. He shared a few interesting stories.

[fredthejunkman]

@radiojho -thanks for listening. I'd like to have met the guy myself....good for you.

[1STONEDIVISION]

Beautiful cover, guys! You pulled this off really well - great job!

[fredthejunkman]

@1STONEDIVISION -thanks so much :)

[fredthejunkman]

@StudEmonkey -thanks for stopping by Monkey!

[ricklg62]

Damn, as a old rocker myself, you guys captured the groove of this song like no other Ive heard, you guys rock, keep it up!!

[fredthejunkman]

@ricklg62 - thanks a lot rick! hope you keep on rockin' too...

[drsoos1]

Great cover! Very, very similar to the original. Not many could pull it off that convincingly. Again, nice job.

[fredthejunkman]

@drsoos1 - thanks for the kind word.

[IMJR2000]

[fredthejunkman]

@IMJR2000 - thanks much!

[randaloopy]

I don't know who you guys are but that was freakin FANTASTIC.

[fredthejunkman]

We're just a couple schmoes....thanks for the kind word!

[mrsullyrox]

@fredthejunkman yes- just a couple of schoes is correct!

[einaroneeye]

Great job guys, you've really nailed the sound and the feel on this Badfinger gem, nicely done! I'll have to move on and check out some of your other covers. Cheers!

[fredthejunkman]

thank you very much :-)

[Thadesgal]

Friggin awesome. Great soundin. I couldn't have gotten any closer to the real song.

[fredthejunkman]

thanks very much....we certainly tried. :-)

[smeltfisher]

Are you kidding me? You guys are channeling, man!

[fredthejunkman]

Well, that's a first - heh heh! Thanks for listening! :-)

[fredthejunkman]

thanks a lot! i take it you're a southsider?

[jayanxiety]

Wow! It's like Pete Ham's voice was somehow brought right back for this wonderful version of the song! I'd love to hear more!

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks very much. Sully did a great job of doing Pete's vocal.

[suzeeq55]

I Love this song!!!!

[GeneralCambronne]

[lancers46]

Very good job!

[fredthejunkman]

thanks a lot lancers!

[sjonesi41]

have you guys recorded any other badfinger tunes? DAY AFTER DAY

[fredthejunkman]

That's the one we planned on doing next, but life happens and things get put on hold. I'll talk to Sully about it....

[sjonesi41]

yes sir thank you for keeping this great music alive. the story of badfinger is so sad but pete and tommy are looking down at this and seeing that there beautiful music lives on and stands the test of time...

[fredthejunkman]

they were a great band.

[sjonesi41]

great job

[fredthejunkman]

thanks very much :)

[curtmath]

Your voice fits this song better than Joey Molland's. I appreciate Joey and I like the songs he sings, but Pete Ham can't be replaced!

[fredthejunkman]

thanks! the voice belongs to "mrsullyrox" matt sullivan. i think he did a good job too!

[shutdafup]

You guys are pretty fantastic ... 1000% times better than that atrocity called Badfinger featuring Joey Molland... BRAVO !!!

[fredthejunkman]

Thanx so much. We sure appreciate the support! :)

[fredthejunkman]

We thank you!

[perkypickle]

this is really good. :)

[fredthejunkman]

thanks very much PP!

[CaptCrash66]

Oh man, you guys rock. You nailed that growlin' seventies rock vibe. That brought back memories of a time long vanished. Groovy stuff.

[fredthejunkman]

Aye, aye Captain. Thanks!

[danzirulez]

since I saw the movie Departed, and got the sndtrack this is one of the most favourable songs for me ever!! :) good cover guys! The chords are easy and the solo is too, just like the whole lot. Awesome tune!

[fredthejunkman]

thank you!

[LPSWBB]

Spot on guys, really captured the Badfinger vibe!

[fredthejunkman]

Thank you very much!

[nedthebed07]

I can't believe I didn't already comment on this massive cover of one of my fav groups so I am now.... Brilliant 5*

[fredthejunkman]

We certainly appreciate the kind word!

[fredthejunkman]

[taxfundi]

HEY, this is great------------------

[fredthejunkman]

thank you very much!

[bradfan628]

Great job on my favorite Badfinger song. They had a bunch of incredible songs - brings me back to my high school days.

[StarHomer]

I don't know how I overlooked this one. This is awesome Dave. What a great job you guys did.

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks Tim. I think Sully did a superb job on the lead vocal! He sounds so close to the original vocalist.

[lilynick1]

Take a bow Fred and Sully! Very nice job. Great pics also.....

[fredthejunkman]

we thank you!

[Lubovnik60]

[bensgtusmc]

I am so horribly skeptical of these covers, that I almost never click on them. I don't know what prompted me to listen to this one...

Much to my surprise, I liked it.

I liked it a lot, in fact!

Loved the tempo, the recording quality.

Great job, dudes...on one of my most favorite songs.

[fredthejunkman]

thanks for taking the time to listen to us.

[martindto]

I used this song for a film study back in '69. Loved it then, love it now. Very nice job boys. Brings back great memories of long ago.

[fredthejunkman]

thanks so much martin :)

[mrsjbigos]

I was just making a playlist and you are definately in!! I love this song and you and your band are awesome!

[fredthejunkman]

we sincerely thank you!

[tang126]

What a great version! Sounds really nice. I've always loved this song (probably one of my all-time top 10 favorites). The crunch is there, and so are the harmonies! So cool...

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks Tang! we appreciate the kind words.

[Bigjohnnywad]

WOW..a very nice version! Great job

[fredthejunkman]

thank you very much!

[smasica]

From an old 62-year-old rocker, excellent work. You nailed the timing. Most covers either lag behind or push the tempo. Personally, I prefer a bit more boom on the low end, but your rendition was solid. Keep up the good work.

[fredthejunkman]

thanks very much from a couple of old rockers!

[tjk1968slice]

What a great job. I have been listening to Badfinger since the beginning and this brought goose bumps to me. Thank you.

[fredthejunkman]

thank you very much!

[descending61]

In a word......WOW!!!!! Excellent job. Superb tribute to one of the most horrible rock tradgedies of all time! I was Blown away!

[fredthejunkman]

Sully and I thank you for listening!

[whater73]

Very true to the original with the same feel and great vocals. If you told me that was Badfinger recorded live back in the day I would not have doubted it.

[fredthejunkman]

thanks for the kind words! it's very much appreciated.

[Cameragirl803]

I enjoyed this so much!! You guys did terrific job! The harmonies were wonderful too!! *****

[fredthejunkman]

We thank you!

[mrsjbigos]

This song brings on tears. awesome band and song.

[fredthejunkman]

Sorry to make you cry......

[PimpMilkySaysThis]

ROCKED IT!! GREAT JOB!!

[fredthejunkman]

THANK YOU!!

[Harding42]

Very nicely done!

[fredthejunkman]

We appreciate the kind word!

[undertakergrady]

Pete and Mike would be proud. But where is your live performance video of this song? I'm sure we'll all be thrilled to see your performance. Again, excellent performance and as close as it gets to the real thing. Next? Day after Day? LOL.

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks very much Grady. there won't be a live performance, sorry.

[TheDudesterguy1]

WOW!!! Awesome job, awesome memories and just an overall awesome sound from you guys! I was feeling blue and punched in Baby Blue and dang, instant mood lifter! You guys sound superb! I saw Badfinger w/ Joey Molland in 94 or 95 at the Ballard Firehouse, near Seattle. I was literally in tears when I heard all the old hits. Your cover brings back lots of good memories in my life. Thank you dudes for rocking and rolling, keep on rocking forever!!

[fredthejunkman]

THANKS very much! We certainly appreciate the kind words!

[JStormWaters]

U guys really do this song (& band) justice...THANKS!!

[sullyrock]

Thank you Jstorm! we thank you for listening!

[croire62]

I don't usually listen to "covers", but I really wanted Baby Blue on my playlist. I chose your version. You have a wonderful talent. Thanks for sharing it with the world!

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks for the kind words!

[star3710]

Hey Dave look up ted mulry julia...would suit your voice jonesy

[star3710]

God what a brilliant cover by you guys, i only just found Badfinger (I allways thought it was winngs) you did such a fantastic rendision and the clip was so so sad, if you are ever in australia I would love to drum for you... thanks for posting, do you do any other Badfinger covers on you tube... jonesy

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks very much Jonesy! This is the only BF we've done. We might do another in the future, so thanks for asking.

[RickyJulienBubbles]

Good job. Are you Fred G. Sanford the trader of commodities (junk)?

[fredthejunkman]

[9joecamel]

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks. I use Vegas Pro for recording software. Sound Forge for editing/mastering. Only the acoustic guitar was miked with an sm38 ( i think )

[rixmix76]

Very nice cover of my fave BF song (I play it too, but you guys have a very nice sound). Guess my cousin and I will have to try to do it! :-)

[fredthejunkman]

Thanks very much!

[BrickLaneBetty]

Sully aka John Sullivan?

[fredthejunkman]

No, it's Matt. I think he lives in NY.

[sullyrock]

i have a brother named John- but then again there are millions of Sullivan's- thanks
