This kid singing is real good. His parents must feel amazing seeing their son paying tribute to a legend. The whole band is fantastic and all the sax players, awesome tribute
I thought it might be an instrumental tribute, because who would you put in the position of singing this song as a tribute. The guy did a great job in capturing the emotional impact of the lyrics. 10 stars.
This is my favorite song from the 70s, after I heard this song, I made a trip to London from New York to visit Baker Street with my wife. She passed away recently. I missed her so much and I missed Gerry Rafferty, I missed the 70s.......................
I'm sorry for your loss. The sax riff has been one of those things in the back of my head all my life and I only just finally learned the name of the song. It's been stuck in my head ever since. I hope it brings back good memories for you
During my stay in UK in 1977-78 i love .the song Baker street. I stayed in Kenwoood House Hotel in Glousester. street. Now i could hear it agaain in Burma. Thanks UA-cam. I keep it now for everytime i want. I kove Mr Gerry.
@@thursoberwick1948 Come on Thurso. This was all about feeling good and having fun. This goal was achieved. If you want the real deal, there is always the original version.
@@PhilosophusMansisses I'm sure some people enjoyed themselves, but it's tacky. If you do this kind of thing on a regular basis, then people associate the song with this.
This was an absolutely awesome tribute to Gerry! I have to believe he's somewhere smiling and genuinely touched by this wonderful remembrance of him and his absolutely fantastic song, "Baker Street."
Blown away... Just amazed into tears, real tears - I lost it when that young lad ripped into that solo. Well done EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. Hats off to the Paisley2021. Three cheers, mates.
This so badass, that group sax sound at the intro is really powerful... As someone who grew up when ‘Baker Street’ came out on the radio this really evokes some powerful emotions... this sounds like a herd of elephants, trunks raised in perfect harmony sounding out a warpath call to march! Those drums and the guitar solo are excellent! Gerry Rafferty would be very stoked!
So. Many. People. Playing. Saxophones. In. Such. Harmony. This. Sound. Track. Would be. The best. Track for. This. The. Timeing. Was. So. Perfect. Keep up the good work. Guys
OMG....Whos listening in August 2021❤❤❤ THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC... I'm in tears watching these BEAUTIFUL and very talented musicians😢😢 Just as good as the original AND that young man singing....WOWWWW THANKYOU YOU made the world SMILE watching this in this horrific second year of the pandemic... GOD BLESS YOU ALL❤🙏
How on earth did you get so many talented people in one place, FANTASTIC, just found this video today and it blew my socks off, got to be one of the best video's on UA-cam
I've just come across that video and love the whole thing.All those people ,young and old, rocking together,give me chills.The singer and the guitar player are particularly great .Keep rocking.
Such is the iconic status of Baker Street, it still earns Gerry's daughter - Martha - around £75k a year in royalties....... Not too shabby for a track released over 40 years ago......
Ever since i was young an heard this song,made me fall in love with the saxophone an especially how George Thoragood plays his in his songs,it touches my soul.
I'm glad to know that there are people who homage to such great musicians and authors, who do not die those incredible musical pieces and more than that, give them that importance they deserve
Great tribute. I'm sure Rafferty is looking smiling. IMO, the drums really made this song have a great beat. Sax's were great too, everything was great.
ce que je trouve le plus cool est que tant de jeunes, qui n'étaient meme pas nés quand ce titre est sorti, l'apprécient autant.leurs parents non plus si ça se trouve, n'étaient pas nés😀.comme quoi quand une chanson est bonne et meme très bonne , elle traverse les époques.et puis l'ajout de ce solo de saxo est tout simplement génial😎.et bien sur bravo au jeune chanteur et au jeune guitariste solo qui assurent grave😎
@@thursoberwick1948 It appears to me you are another one with no talent other than knocking those that are enjoying themselves. Too much keyboard envy.
@@johnfoster3286 This video is full of grannies playing air sax and school kids who can play some, along with a second string indy singer. The main problem here is that Rafferty didn't write the saxophone material (despite what credits say), though that's the part they're connecting with Paisley. "Stuck in the Middle with You" is more Rafferty. Now jog on...
Sencillamente maravilloso. Esa canción en la voz de Rafferty y el solo de saxo me llegaron al alma la primera vez que la escuché...bello, sublime, un placer hermoso.
Fantastic ! That young drummer was super, really keeps the whole thing tight and together. Thanks for telling me about it, George, and pointing me in the direction of this wonderful video.
My new favorite video. I can't get watch/listen to it enough. And the group with the plastic saxophones dancing in the crowd were great to watch as well!
WOW! Learning the saxophone without learning and playing this classic is a gross injustice! Glad to see these younger artists keeping this classic alive!
I could watch this over and over. In fact I'm going to. Love the effort and the love that went into all of this - and the random folk at work or walking about with wee sax's - love it all
Baker Street is one of those songs that is so closely linked to its composer/performer that any artist attempting a cover version is taking a risk. This rendition was brilliant. Great guitar solo too.
I was deep down south on the at a service station on the M 5 I was 13 we where going to Cornwall thanks for the memories greetings from south Lanarkshire
I just discovered this video and am stunned by it. What a joyous occasion in tribute to one of Paisley's favourite sons. I was born there in 1958 whilst my parents were living in Govan. Moved to Linwood in 1963 and visited Paisley regularly to visit the cinema and for my parents to buy records. Ended up in England early 70's and discovered an album called "Can I Have My Money Back" by a musician I'd never heard of. His name was Gerry Rafferty, and I was hooked. An unbelievable songwriter with a fabulous sense of melody. He never gave up, and of course Baker Street introduced him to the world. Congratulations and respect to the Paisley Camcorder Club as well as Renfrewshire Leisure and Loud n' Proud for producing the video. Not forgetting every single member of the Paisley community who contributed. Brilliant.
In USA . Song was a HIT 1978 .. I was 19, in US Coast Guard Boot Camp ... after evening chow we were allowed ONE HOUR of radio listening... THIS song played a LOT .. it helped me through my rigorous Basic Training! (I LOVES me this song!!)
Many kudos to the people who out this together in Paisley. Actually a more authentic performance than any than I've been able to find of Jerry's. I haven't found a performance on UA-cam where HE didn't use a backing track to overdub.
I'm speechless. Just knowing this exists, I think I could possibly love the world again. This is, without doubt, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

You serious? He stinks
He's exceptional. Funny how he's a little flat in areas, but still sounds fantastic. That's a great singer that can make the wrong note sound good.
He didn't even get the words right. He's horrible. Gerry should rise from his grave and slap the fuck out of him.
I thought it might be an instrumental tribute, because who would you put in the position of singing this song as a tribute. The guy did a great job in capturing the emotional impact of the lyrics. 10 stars.
No he's not. He's crap. Why is he singing with an american accent. Just sounds wrong.
There is a Baker Street in Glasgow southside in shawlands 😆 gerry was a great artist great tribute
That guitar player ripped it! Awesome version and a great tribute to a great artist!
This is my favorite song from the 70s, after I heard this song, I made a trip to London from New York to visit Baker Street with my wife. She passed away recently. I missed her so much and I missed Gerry Rafferty, I missed the 70s.......................

Speak her name for a blessing.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love seeing all the youth one playing instruments and then playing this magnificent song that was well before their time.
Fantastic tribute to Gerry Rafferty..from his hometown Paisley, Scotland
If it's an Anual event, I'd love to be there!
Is that where this is,awesome
@@carlwhite3634 Me too
What a wonderful tribute too a musical icon.Can you hear us Gerry?
yea, a wonderful tribute that the people who actually reside in that neighborhood may not want to be a part of. Rude bastards.
AWESOME!!
Turning in his grave.
@@doubleghod que pedazo de pecho frio
@@doubleghod amargado
That lad absolutely killed the solo. Awesome tone
Guitar solo is the only decent part of this sorry mess.
During my stay in UK in 1977-78 i love .the song Baker street. I stayed
in Kenwoood House Hotel in Glousester.
street. Now i could hear it agaain in Burma. Thanks UA-cam. I keep it now
for everytime i want. I kove Mr Gerry.

Air sax??...by people who weren’t born when the song came out?
Impressed. Shows the power of the song
This is an truly AWESOME tribute to Gerry Rafferty!! The saxophones in unison........sweet!!!
good to see these young kids taking interest in these classics.
They deserved a much bigger audience.
This so badass, that group sax sound at the intro is really powerful... As someone who grew up when ‘Baker Street’ came out on the radio this really evokes some powerful emotions... this sounds like a herd of elephants, trunks raised in perfect harmony sounding out a warpath call to march!

THAT….was AMAZING!! Yes great Tribute to great Scottish Musician!
Love this so much...76 year old Lt Colonel from Virginia
So. Many. People. Playing. Saxophones. In. Such. Harmony. This. Sound. Track. Would be. The best. Track for. This. The. Timeing. Was. So. Perfect. Keep up the good work. Guys
Remove the 'periods' after everywhere word.
That was very good.The young lad sung it very well and the rest of the band got it spot on.
That was amazing. I lost some tears because of how good it was. A good tribute to Gerry Rafferty in his hometown.
I could spend eternity in the 70's !
Ken you and me both!!!!! If there is a Heaven going back to the 70’s would be it for me. I will be 64 in. April 2021. Peace to you
Beautiful rendition...Gerry would be proud....Well done Boys and Girls!
No he wouldn't!! He would make him hold his drink while he whacked him across the back of the skull with a saxophone.
OMG....Whos listening in August 2021❤❤❤
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC...
I'm in tears watching these BEAUTIFUL and very talented musicians😢😢
Just as good as the original AND that young man singing....WOWWWW
THANKYOU YOU made the world SMILE watching this in this horrific second year of the pandemic...

Love this with all the saxes! The drummer was tight, but I'm surprised no one noticed the great guitar riff!
Outstanding !
Oh yes, we did notice it. 💞
Si si !! Pas manchot le guitariste !🤟
The kid doin the vocals too!
I totally agree about every element of this EXCEPT for the lead guitar solo; he was way off key for most of it! Sax players are really good!
Such is the iconic status of Baker Street, it still earns Gerry's daughter - Martha - around £75k a year in royalties....... Not too shabby for a track released over 40 years ago......
Gerry Rafferty is alive and well! We love you Gerry , unforgettable Baker street!
Sadly not, he passed in 2011
Thanks for the six minute smile. That was great.
Ever since i was young an heard this song,made me fall in love with the saxophone an especially how George Thoragood plays his in his songs,it touches my soul.
Man wish I was there! Gave me chills!
This is fantastic I think Gerry rafferty would have love to hear this
The guitar solo is great... The rest though.
Yeah
I can't stop watching this, fantastic, loads of people and so much soul.
Me too
@@bryantaylor7055 wow the days when there was no corona and people were happy,seems a little weird seeing them without masks
True ! It's brilliant !
The singer and band are excellent, guitar, bass, drummer along with Sax - superb!
I'm glad to know that there are people who homage to such great musicians and authors, who do not die those incredible musical pieces and more than that, give them that importance they deserve
As an English man from Manchester Absolutely wonderful you did Gerry proud.Very well done to you all.
Great tribute. I'm sure Rafferty is looking smiling. IMO, the drums really made this song have a great beat. Sax's were great too, everything was great.
How could you not love that, brilliant brilliant brilliant.
My pal Alan Grey appears in sunglasses on the 52nd second of this video. Regardless, absolutely spectacular.
Oh how I wish I was there, with my alto. Totally moving and magical.
they're all fantastic, I'm a garage band drummer, so, that drummer is really really in it!
loved this for so many reasons it gladdens my heart to see so many young sax players and enjoying Gerrys music. Well Done everyone was amazing
Absolutely loved it. Choked me up and brought a tear (or more) to my eye. I just love the sound of that sax.🎵
Fantastic!!! Gerry would be proud of that stellar performance!!! Everyone played there part perfectly take a bow all
"Perfectly"? Really? 😀
RIP Gerry, you are loved my brother...............
ce que je trouve le plus cool est que tant de jeunes, qui n'étaient meme pas nés quand ce titre est sorti, l'apprécient autant.leurs parents non plus si ça se trouve, n'étaient pas nés😀.comme quoi quand une chanson est bonne et meme très bonne , elle traverse les époques.et puis l'ajout de ce solo de saxo est tout simplement génial😎.et bien sur bravo au jeune chanteur et au jeune guitariste solo qui assurent grave😎
The lad can play guitar..... Long Live that sax melody
WHAT WONDERFUL MATERPIECE OF BAKER STREET WIITH THIESE SAXOPHONES!!!❤❤💓

I have heard many covers of this song,,but this version has the best guitar solo ever.. Hope the guitarist is doing good.
The guitar solo is great. The rest is embarrassing.

Guy murdered this song
Remembering the talents of Gerry Rafferty! Fantastic!! Good souls here
What a great tribute to an amazing musician.
Thoroughly enjoyable and it was cool seeing all the different generations rocking out this iconic song.
God bless Paisley. I love a bit of city pride. Well done folks, and keep building up Paisley.
Love that song, mostly for the sax. Now I can finally get enough of the sax by watching this video. Thanks
best sax line ever!
How I wish Gerry were still with us.
I don’t know why but this makes me emotional as hell!
Absolute quality.....this song is a fantastic legacy...always be a classic #ripgerry 👊👊
What an absolutely fantastic tribute to Gerry, paisley, take bow

Just the kind of silliness the world needs right now.
This is amazing. Well done Paisley.
Great voice. Get his name out there. Give him a recording contract. Love all the sax! True community getting together!
No one´s been mentioning the guitar guy. Well put mate.
I could watch this over and over. In fact I'm going to. Love the effort and the love that went into all of this - and the random folk at work or walking about with wee sax's - love it all
Am I the only one crying like a baby here? This song definitely touches my soul. Great job guys, Gerry is proud of you! Greetings from Brazil
I've just got something in my eye,so yes it's only you.Fantastic performance,they did Gerry proud on this one!
Baker Street is one of those songs that is so closely linked to its composer/performer that any artist attempting a cover version is taking a risk. This rendition was brilliant. Great guitar solo too.
Allergies...really.
That was way better than I was expecting, well done!
Quelle magnifique mélodie! Et les saxophones…waouh…. J’en ai les larmes aux yeux..
Well done guys, I am sure Gerry is happy, you obviously make his days and mine

You must be deaf, he was dreadful!!
Young people playing a decent song. Very nice. The world can be saved...
Many kudos to the people who out this together in Paisley. Actually a more authentic performance than any than I've been able to find of Jerry's. I haven't found a performance on UA-cam where HE didn't use a backing track to overdub.
only in UK can this happen. such a bleak dark song being danced upon. kudos to the creative genius of Gerry and raphael
Magic! The little girl in pink sax player...made my day.
Well done Scots !!! Gerry is proud of you.
Que gran homenaje a gerry....saludos desde valparaiso con lluvia....Chile
