The group that did the 9/11 attack work for the luciferian bankers who regard the solar sun as Lucifer and who have a dream of enslaving everyone in the world. They want to get rich quick, they want easy money and they believe that stealing and killing is the easiest, fastest way to get rich quick. They are attacking city after city world wide. The Talmudists "protected" Iraqis while killing Kuwaities. Then Talmudist killed Iraqis. They "protected" Syria, but now Talmudists massacre Syrians.
The Ark of the Covenants has an owl of slavery on the outer side of it. On top of the Ark is a symbol of the sun-god Ra. The golden angels on top of the Ark are "fallen" angels who represent Communists and Freemasons. The fallen angels are given the job of creating chaos on Earth, they are metaphores for terrorists who did the 9/11 attack and who stole 3.2 trillion from the US Department of Defense to do the 9/11 attack. The Ark angels are golden because they symbolize the solar sun as Lucifer.
The Ark of the Covenant symbolizes the dream of slavery, Zionism. On the Ark is a symbol of an owl, the owl of slavery. U.S. Bank in downtown Los Angeles is shaped like an owl, the owl of slavery. The owl is on US paper currency, it's hidden in a web.The web represents the grid of streets in Los Angeles. The owl of slavery is a refers to Ra, the sun-god of slavery and extortion. Symbols of Ra in US paper money are shown as eagles. The Ra symbol is also on the outside of the USA's central bank.
The American Civil War was a war that was waged by the Jew bankers against Americans. It was not North against South as the history books fraudulently teach. It was a war by the Jew bankers to make their Zionist dream come true. Their Zionist dream is written in the Testaments that they paid Freemason Francis Bacon to write. The dream is to build cities like Los Angeles and Atlanta Georgia, USA that Jew bankers can be masters over and slaughter citizens to rob them. Zionism is a slavery dream.
The American Civil War was waged by Jew bankers working out of Europe. They paid foreigners to massacre Americans inside their houses, the same way the same jew banking families slaughtered non-Jews in their houses in Germany in WW2. In the American Civil War the Jew bankers worked through Communist Jews, Communist negroes and Freemasons to massacre Americans in their houses. It was anything but civil. Communists and Freemasons prospered as traitors, as thieves aided by Talmudic Jew bankers.
The Communist-Freemasons likely used the mass media to do some yellow journalism in faking the sinking of the Titanic. The Titanic refers to Los Angeles which has levels or decks. The top deck is blocked off, it's empty except for spy towers and radio antennas. They don't plan to let non-Jews escape the Titanic that is Los Angeles, the Communist movies are showing that they will do a military assault on anyone trying to escape, like they killed Kuwaities escaping the terror zone 22 years ago.
The circle made around a nuke hole is a "magic circle," everyone in the magic circle is killed slowly from radiation from the nukes. The magic circle allows the Communists and Freemasons who work together to rob those killed in the circle. Their plans are elaborate. The plans were written into the Testaments, the one Freemason Francis Bacon wrote. Los Angeles is the ark mentioned in the Testaments. The owl on the Ark of the Covenant is symbolized by the owl-shape of U.S. Bank in Los Angeles.
Ford motors on Roscoe Street near a bakery might be rigged underground with nukes since Ford motor is near a freeway, it would be easy to move in explosives. Trains also pass near it to bring nukes to Ford motors. Also, Communist Jews lied about when nukes were first used (1908). Nukes were used when Kissinger was in Germany enslaving non-Jews of Germany and later served under president Gerald Ford. Kissinger works for Jew bankers, the Testaments promise that Jew bankers will enslave everyone.
One site Communist Jews, led by Kissinger and the Communists who tookover the Federal Reserve Bank (the US central bank), may have rigged with nukes is Ford motor company on Roscoe Street (baker's street). Another is the Anhueser Busch brewery on Roscoe Street. The word brewery refers to witchcraft. Freemasons who founded the USA used witchcraft (lying, cheating, stealing, killing) to enslave other citizens. Francis Bacon wrote Macbeth which is about a witch's brew. Bacon founded Jamestown, USA.
Jew Einstein went into Japan just before the atomic WMD was set off there. The atomic WMD was used to take over the banking system of Japan, it was not used to stop WW2. The Communist-Nazi Jews lied about why the nukes were used in WW2 and lied about when nukes were first used. Nukes were first tested in Tungusta Russia in 1908, nukes helped Jews takeover Russia at which time Jews put whites into slave labor camps (Gulags). Jews built FEMA camps in the USA and likely rigged Roscoe St with nukes.
Jew Henry Kissinger might be related to Karl Marx, they look alike. Kissinger served in Hitler's army. Then he went to the USA and was sent back to Germany to head a troop. He likely ran a WW2 concentration camp and taught the Jews' Talmudic law to Jews in Germany. It's very likely that he taught the Talmud at Auschwitz which was not a concentratin camp, it was a university where the Talmud was taught to future business leaders. The Talmud tells Jew followers to lie and make slaves of others.
Baker's Steet is Los Angeles. The desert city refers to Los Angeles. The Bohemian Grove leaders are Russian Bolshevik Jew Communists who committed mass murder in 1917, killing millions of white middle class citizens in their houses. Rafferty was white, middle class. Los Angeles is likely rigged with nukes under Baker's Street, a metaphor for Roscoe street at Orion street. Orion is the name of a constellation worshipped by Freemasons. Bolshevik Communist leaders Marx and Lenin were Freemasons.
Damn, I can remember sitting in my brother's room while he was getting ready for a date in the late 70's, and listening to this song on the FM radio.........
this song is one of the all time greatest songs. i remember when it came out. it is so sad that he never recognized what a great song this was and drank himself to death.
I read somewhere that time travel was impossible due to the overwhelming cost and lack of viable technology, I dispute that, just listen to this song and it's 1979 again.
Gerry"s "Baker Street" is one of very few songs that made my A-LIST of the greatest songs of all time. Gerry on your passing I hope you found your 'baker street' RIP.
BBC Radio 4 has produced an awesome audio documentary on how Baker Street came to be, Gerry Rafferty's life, and the inspiration for the song's 'rolling stone.' Google search: Radio 4 Rafferty Soul Music Baker Street.
This song was on high rotation on my local AM radio station when I was a lad..thay still play it. It reminds me of home & the 70's. A great feel good tune, sax bite & windwood works so well with the guitar solo.. imbedded in my soul 4 life..RIP, G.R.
I played the shit out of that. I didn't know why, it wasn't my usual style. I've since figured out it's because every single note of the instruments and vocals were placed by God. Never knew what he looked like. I still got it around here somewhere in one of these stacks under a bed somewhere.
I was whistling this song at work and could not believe how many other people started to whistle it throughout the day!!! The intro sax part really grabs you.....GREAT SONG!!!!!
This song takes me back to a mellower time.Two streets to the west of my parents house was Baker St.An elementary school was there.We skateboarded there & played sports. There is no doubt in my mind that the 70's was the best decade for music.So many styles that were overlapping one another.And commercialization had not yet taken over.In my opinion,MTV came along & started a trend that changed the music industry.And not for the better.
It's summer 1978 and no small feat that the song stayed at #2 for 6 weeks and the album "City to city" knocked the Saturday Night Fever sound track out of the #1 spot, all under the teeth of the biggest Disco onslaught ever at that time!
First heard this in Manchester England as a student in summer of '78 I think. Came to US as a camp counselor in NH and loved the country. Now living in PA and this is the first time I am playing the song again in about 30 yrs............wow!
Awesome Song! I was probably 9 or 10 years old when my older brothers and sister would listen to this and other 70's Hits. Reminds me of my childhood.
Two of the best solos of all time in this one, sax and guitar. Plus dynamite vocal and lyrics. A favorite of mine since I would hear it blasting from someone's bedroom on my way walking home from school. Beautiful.
@kellyadmirer1 ......hey, i have the same feeling about this . Walking home from school ..... and hearing this song from a car passing by or played in someone's bedroom. That was on Aruba, an island in the Caribean.
was he singing this song about himself? I know the song is Baker Street, but rafferty had a drinking problem and i thought he might be talking about himself, if i am wrong, forgive me
The Saxophonist on this track 'Baker Street' is none other than Mr Rapahel Ravenscroft........ I Used to play this song every night while working @ Abu Dhabi in the 70's.........
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Thanks for fucking this up moron. Your editing sucks. You completely edited out the images of the lead guitarist doing his thing by showing the album cover. Fucking idiot.
@DiabolicalWarlock - Did you not know, the original video of this song cuts the very guitar solo off. He did not edit the video that way. The fine folks that recorded the video did that. All he did was let you hear the whole song, not the edit.
@joemav57 That's right, in the short version it was cut that sax part, what I had to do else? This is the long version and the original video is shorter. Glad that all other to follow.. with a few exceptions.
Up until 4:45, the music is foreplay, at 4:45 it becomes one fabulous orgasm! Hot sax, hot guitar, hot, hot, hot!!! Thanks for the quality sound BeGrooovy!
As an amateur singer, I tried to sing and record today this great song with a good karaoke backing track. Looking for the original song on YouTube to listen carefully how Gerry Rafferty sang this, I found out that it has been exactly one year since he is deceased. What an incredible coincidence! Of course there’s only one who can sing this song the way it should be… With all my respect!
This is and always will be my favorite song of all time. The Simpsons made me love this song when I was a little kid. I think it had a lot to do with how much a passionate person I am. That sax fucking grabs your soul and forces you to feel! Beautiful song. Extremely underrated.
I first heard this song on a Pizza Hut in Owensboro Ky in 1978. Didn't speak any English by then, but totally feel in love with the song. Took a very long time to learn the name and who sang. Love to this day. Thanks for uploading. It sure brings back memories....
@goncalvespeloya Funny thing, i was working in south africa a couple of years ago, a co worker was whistling this tune, when i named that tune he said how did you know so quickly. I said i brought it with me on a CD. it made me feel close to home
One of the best riffs for sax ever written! Gerry Rafferty was a great musician, songwriter & independent spirit. He described the 'industry' perfectly in 2009:
"The music industry... is something I loathe and detest. It conjures up images of a gigantic factory spewing out parts of the machine. In many respects, this of course is exactly what it is now. Pumping out shit like there’s no tomorrow."
PS Got to admit I wasn't thrilled when that other band TRIED to copy this song and changing the lyrics a bit...did not appreciate it but then again that's what makes the world go round...cheers and jeers...what can I say
just adore this song...thanks for uploading...and love your explanation...asynchronously....had to look that one up : ) love it thanks be groovy baby

Two of the best solos of all time in this one, sax and guitar. Plus dynamite vocal and lyrics. A favorite of mine since I would hear it blasting from someone's bedroom on my way walking home from school. Beautiful.

@kellyadmirer1 ......hey, i have the same feeling about this . Walking home from school ..... and hearing this song from a car passing by or played in someone's bedroom. That was on Aruba, an island in the Caribean.

was he singing this song about himself? I know the song is Baker Street, but rafferty had a drinking problem and i thought he might be talking about himself, if i am wrong, forgive me

The Saxophonist on this track 'Baker Street' is none other than Mr Rapahel Ravenscroft........ I Used to play this song every night while working @ Abu Dhabi in the 70's.........

Thanks for fucking this up moron. Your editing sucks. You completely edited out the images of the lead guitarist doing his thing by showing the album cover. Fucking idiot.

@DiabolicalWarlock - Did you not know, the original video of this song cuts the very guitar solo off. He did not edit the video that way. The fine folks that recorded the video did that. All he did was let you hear the whole song, not the edit.

@joemav57 That's right, in the short version it was cut that sax part, what I had to do else? This is the long version and the original video is shorter. Glad that all other to follow.. with a few exceptions.

The saxophone is just out of this world. Gerry Rafferty was quite a talent. May he RIP.

Better sound than the other originals. Aside from sync issue,the only other thing would be to remove the text in the bottom right corner.

As an amateur singer, I tried to sing and record today this great song with a good karaoke backing track. Looking for the original song on YouTube to listen carefully how Gerry Rafferty sang this, I found out that it has been exactly one year since he is deceased. What an incredible coincidence! Of course there’s only one who can sing this song the way it should be… With all my respect!

This is and always will be my favorite song of all time. The Simpsons made me love this song when I was a little kid. I think it had a lot to do with how much a passionate person I am. That sax fucking grabs your soul and forces you to feel! Beautiful song. Extremely underrated.

I first heard this song on a Pizza Hut in Owensboro Ky in 1978. Didn't speak any English by then, but totally feel in love with the song. Took a very long time to learn the name and who sang. Love to this day. Thanks for uploading. It sure brings back memories....

One of the best riffs for sax ever written! Gerry Rafferty was a great musician, songwriter & independent spirit. He described the 'industry' perfectly in 2009:
"The music industry... is something I loathe and detest. It conjures up images of a gigantic factory spewing out parts of the machine. In many respects, this of course is exactly what it is now. Pumping out shit like there’s no tomorrow."
