hehe - that guitar solo always surprises people who hear the song for the first time. They're not expecting it - they think it'll be the saxophone coming in again. Then - the guitar solo morphs & resolves back into the saxophone again. Its that transition from guitar to sax that gives people the goosebumps!
This was the 7" single / radio edit of the song. You should listen to full length version that is on the "City to City" album... lots more sax on the full-length version!!!
Great reaction! Granted, the sax, played masterfully by Raphael Ravenscroft, is iconic, but let's not forget about that killer guitar solo! Iconic sax, killer guitar, great lyrics and sung by the wonderfully smooth voice of Gerry Rafferty all combine to make this song a complete musical masterpiece!
Voice and all sounds good, but the sax... Wheee da de da de da, Wheeeda de da da de daaaa... (Oh shit it's the guitar this time!) Wheee da de da de da, Wheeeda de da da de daaaa... Excellent!
Love "Baker Street" ... it's so great! Excellent guitar solo in addition. Another song with some tasty sax is Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat." Also: "Careless Whisper" by George Michael, "Smooth Operator" by Sade.
Thanks, Girl! This is one of my favorite songs... reminds me of driving down the lakefront in Milwaukee on a beautiful Friday afternoon, paycheck cashed - whole weekend and whole life ahead .... Freedom! lol (forgot that guitar solo, eh? lol) -- you may also know Gerry Rafferty as the lead singer in "Stealers Wheel" - the song "Stuck in the Middle with You"?
Artists from time to time are struck by lightning, that is what happened to the sax player here. The guitarist as well. This song is epic from start to finish.
Try reacting to Gerry Jeffers/Jeffery, because they really look and sound like Rafferty?! Singing "You'll get it right next time" or was it "You got it right last time?"
actually this is a rare occasion where i like the remade cover by Undercover - Baker Street better than the original because it has more of a club/dance feeling.
Desde que descubrí a este músico, lo encuentro muy parecido a Lennon. Se habrán conocido? Imagine un trabajo conjunto, podría haber resultado más que interesante.
You should do a 6 pack of motorhead reactions. 1. Killed by death, live or album version, maybe both. 2. Damage case live 3. Overkill live 4. Whiplash (metallica cover) 5. Just 'cause ya got the power (don't mean ya got the right). 6. I ain't no nice guy with Ozzy Osbourne. If you do whiplash maybe do the Metallica version. first.
You have reacted to a few Pink Floyd songs. There is one missing on the list, the one with 3 minutes (out of 11) saxofoon solo : Shine on you crazy diamond : ua-cam.com/video/5uiVpxDuAhc/v-deo.html

The guitar solo in this is fire, it is so good.
this is the short version. there is a whole instrumental section that is dropped out here before that guitar solo.
This was the 7" single / radio edit of the song. You should listen to full length version that is on the "City to City" album... lots more sax on the full-length version!!!
Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson lived at 221B Baker Street from 1881 to 1904
I was just thrilled to see how excited you were with this song! Especially the sax! Your happiness was infectious! Thank you ❣️
I too love the Sacks a Phones. Ha! Ha! Good Reactions to a Good piece of Music.

Great song
"Urgent" by Foreigner has my all time favorite Sax solo.
"Will You", Hazel O'Connor.
JERRY RAFFERTY, "BAKER STREET". Another 70'S Groovieness. Another great song featuring a Sax. .TRAFFIC doing "LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS".
This is "one of those songs" 3 notes in you know it.3 bars in you're flying 🎷🎶🎷🎶🎷🎶🎸🎸🎸
It brings me back home to London every time I hear it
Want some saxophone and other horns, listen to Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" do the live version from the Tanglewood MA venue
Voice and all sounds good, but the sax...
Wheee da de da de da, Wheeeda de da da de daaaa...
(Oh shit it's the guitar this time!)
Wheee da de da de da, Wheeeda de da da de daaaa...
Excellent!
A great song. Wonderful reaction. 😍😎

Great choice.Btwc consider reacting to some Uriah Heep, namely the easiest choice, Easy Leaving
That sounded like an edited version. Way too short. Good reaction. Keep up the good work.
This was the 7" single / radio edit. The full length version was on the album.
You need to do Year of the Cat by Al Stewart! Great sax in it to.

Saxophone!!!!! Listen to AL Stuart song on the radio. Pleeaase
brilliant

I learned to play sax in high school. I always prefer the screech of the alto sax to the tenor or base sax.
WOW, Thank you.
You are the BEST!!!!!
I do love this song.
The guitar is not bad in this either.
-YourBiggestFan
I think I'll die my hair blue.
If you want saxophone, I can give you saxophone. Try Al Stewart's "Song on the Radio". Or, "Year of the Cat'". Or, "Time Passages".
Try reacting to Gerry Jeffers/Jeffery, because they really look and sound like Rafferty?! Singing "You'll get it right next time" or was it "You got it right last time?"
Try Rafferty’s “Get it right next time” I bet you haven’t heard that, Great track though.
You are lovely.
actually this is a rare occasion where i like the remade cover by Undercover - Baker Street better than the original because it has more of a club/dance feeling.
You need to listen to Right down the line if you think this is a masterpiece
Just found your great reaction! As you love the saxophone, try "Will You" by Hazel O'Connor which has a stupendous sax solo!

This song has always made me sad....I don't know why.
Damn ur cute
If the sax is the only thing...well, to me, that's pretty single minded. I'm out 🏃♂️➡️
you've never heard of Gerry Rafferty? He's Scottish. Just like the Average White Band. School Boy Crush
