  • nice

  • Great cover!

  • is there a baker street in L.A?

  • Hi I just checked multimap and there is, but according to rumour, Gerry actually used to busk in Baker Street and got fed up of living in London.

  • Yeah. I assumed that it referred to the Baker Street in London also.

  • nice... maybe better sound set-up?

    good cover though

    x

  • There's another lyrical difference...

    Gerry: "This city desert makes you feel so cold"

    Foos: "This city's dance makes you feel so cold"

    I think Gerry Rafferty was ripping on LA (so many people but it's got no soul), and Dave Grohl misunderstood the lyrics.

    BTW, nice cover version!

  • Thanx for that danh! Well I always thought it was about London, but yea London has got soul and it rains most of the time so its not a desert. LA suits a lot better!!

  • I always thought Gerry's version said "This city's dance"....

    No matter, it's still a great song, and really cool cover!

  • "He's got this dream about buying some land. He's gonna give up the..."

    Foos: "crack"

    Gerry: "booze"

    "...and the one-night stands."

  • You're absolutely right bwiechart

  • strum a little 2 hard. but its kool

  • pretty cool
