- A classic version of Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street”, redone by the great one- David Lee Roth.
If you know by now how much I love that old red bomb of Dave’s, I had to add her to this video. Featuring Daves’s 51’ Merc, illustrated by me.
With everything going on in the world today, we all need a little David Lee Roth in our lives to make things better.
Enjoy!

Gerry Rafferty - most under-appreciated artist of all time!
Agreed 💯👍🤘
He was a very special talent. We lost him too soon.
I think same! G.R. was originaali sinne and much Bitter! ( I have this LP) 3:21 3:24
Original singer
Much BETTER
If I've said it once, I've said it a lot! Life is better with David Lee Roth in it.
😂 yup! No doubt about that!!
👍❤️👍
Excellent cover, we could say that he "respected" the essence of the song and still gave it his personal stamp. Good for David Lee Roth.
🇨🇷
I've never been a DLR fan, but the way he did this cover just upped my opinion of him.
well said and that is why DLR is great ,simply put he has his own personal stamp to put on any song he chooses and sadly most singers do not
I was ready to mock but am full of respect.... what lovely singing nHappy/sad THANK YOU DLR❤❤❤
Just like Diamond Dave , I don't run with the devil anymore but I can certainly take a stroll down Baker Street with Dave anytime. Thanks Dave, keep moving forward and never stop singing brother.🙏🙏🙏
Diamond Dave Strikes Again!
Before listening: I love covers when done well. After listening: I liked this cover.
For Me: After listening, there is STILL no equal to the original.
Just sing within your range like this and fans will come back Dave!
He can't, that's the problem....
My thoughts EXACTLY as I was listening to this.
Dave’s vocals are triple tracked which is fine I always double track on my records.
As a black dude growing up I can still remember the outta body experience I had in 1978 hearing "Running With the Devil" for the very first time! How can a guitar sound better than Hendrix? Are there three guitarists? Eruption wtf??Who's the singer omg the singer!!! King Edward and Diamond Dave!! Saw them 4 times live. This here is well done so cool Thnx Diamond DLR
Yes it is
❤
There are no borders in music....🇺🇸
Still remember hearing VH I for the 1st time. Only album i can say that about. Snowy day in Feb 78, I'd been shoveling snow for sak $. Went to weed guys house. This arse whole (bully, not weed guy) plugs in an 8track and spun the volume. Hear (1st time) thump thump thump thump of RWTD. Then the twing where EVH strums the strings right in front of string stops. Within the next 10 minutes music had changed (for the better)
It means nothing to say “as a” so an so.
Karaoke hour with Diamond Dave must be the coolest thing ever!
😂😂😂
Diamond Dave offers up a real gem.
Indeed.
The original is a stone cold classic and this is 💯 legit great from Dave!! I love this song no matter who does it. Dave will always be the driver of my musical journey bus 🎤
Diamond Dave strikes again. Gold.
I've listened to this version a few times now and I'd say you did a great job Dave. Thanks Mr Roth for making my teen years in the 80s frickin rad . Your voice brings back a lot of great memories.
Hear hear!!
Love him or hate him Diamond Dave is one the greatest front men ever!!!
Right on!! I’d put him atop right beside Robert Plant and Steve Tyler
Sorry guys,it's Freddie Mercury and I'm not a huge Queen fan....just saying 😊 Dave is top 5 for sure.
Great! A great tune to redo for the new Generations to enjoy!
I see DLR i click.... simple
Thanks Dave. Very cool. Cranking it up and headed to the patio
Diamond Dave your voice is legendary! Great rendition of a great song❤
Dave's "quieter" voice suits this masterpiece perfectly, top notch rendition!
David Lee Roth
Is 1 of a kind and a hero
In my book
That can never be replaced.
Thanks for the memories dave.
While no one would ever confuse him for Glenn Hughes, this is a wonderful reminder that Dave really can sing.
Like producer Ted Templeman said - he could do one phrase at a time and we would piece it together. It would take forever! He cannot sing period
@@flyingburritobro68 go see him live and make that claim.
Guys, he was a decent vocalist 30-40 years ago, but he’s like 70 now. And he, nor anyone else, ever claimed he was Freddy Mercury . So cut the crap🙄
This is heavily pitch corrected.
@@dan-ws2sfhe IS the number #2 front man next to Freddie.❤
Keep ‘em coming Dave!
You go Diamond Dave. Totally killer. 💎
I wasn't expecting a straight read - respect. It's a jewel from God.
This is the kind of thing where DLR shines. More of this Dave. Great job!
By far The best singing he has done so far!
I saw "David Lee Roth" and "Baker Street", and I was expecting excellence. I most certainly was not let down! Thank you for this!
Such a great cover! Love the original, Love this one too! Diamond Dave!
My first time hearing DLR's cover of this, and I am enjoying it. I love the original by Rafferty as my mother introduced me to it growing up in the 80s. I also love the cover by the Foo Fighters. RIP Gerry Rafferty.
The world is better with Dave in it.
Good tribute to a great and underrated artist.. thanks Dave! Love ya brother!
My dad had Gerry on vinyl so so of the first records I experienced as a child. To know Dave is into him is just another connection I’ve always felt with Dave. He seems to be the one to evaluate culture for us
I met Gerry Rafferty in the cafe in Stirling Scotland over 30 years ago now,he was a nice fella
Very cool!!
I like as much as the original- the sax interpretation of the riff is very cool
Great song, I've always loved Gerry Rafferty's song, I remember it when it came on the radio. Even though I loved hard rock and metal, this song has always moved me in a positive way.
How'd I miss this... I've played this 100s of time for one's to see how great DLR is on so many points as a musician and singer.
I love this rendition of Baker St. Love you DD!
Wow! Outta da trees and on to yo knees back for the attack it's Diamond David Lee ROTH ! Excellent !!!!! Look forward to hearin more!!!
Can't hold back this kind of artistry! Thanks, Dave!
This was a fine cover as expected by Dave.
Is Dave doing Baker Street well? Yes. Do we need this cover? No. You better spend your time listening to the original album. City to city is a masterpiece
Yes. City to City is a masterpiece. I grew up with him. RIP Gerry
@@Ramalito don't need the cover or the original 70s radio Schlock get out of the Dinosaur bone yard
"Need". Aren't you precious.
I'm DAMNED precious IM F**KING adorable
@@scooter2377keep telling yourself that Kojak
when the 🎸solo starts like a cry of a seagull it still gets me goosebumps. Awesome rendition here💪🤟
Awesome to be here listening to this right now ~thnx DLR ~
Nice! Roth is very talented.
😂
The original is and always will be the best version of this song and this cover reminded me of this great song.
Justvasbgood if not better , nic...but I'm an original VH nut
Great to hear that still out there singing. Thanks for this performance, enjoyed it.
Come on Dave let’s put this and your other songs on a full length Vinyl or cd???? Yes us Gen X fans still buy them!!! Love this track and all of your releases!! Looking forward to MORE!!
Gerry Rafferty is smiling down from heaven. David Lee Roth did it right.
He's rolling in his grave 😭
I love what DLR did with this and never would have expected the song! We love you Dave and keep being you
Hell yeah Dave! Rafferty would completely approve.
You captured the essence yet added your own to it!
I had this on a 45 in my early teens. Loved it then, love it now...this is good, I liked it.
That was a pleasant surprise.
I'm a percussionist so I dig it alot ! Gotta have sax synth drums on the original were also great ! Dave sounds good here too ! Nicely done !
Legendary. Thanks so much Dave!
Very well done! We need more DAVE!!!!! We need our Dave fix!!!!! More! More! More! More! More! More! More! More! More! Thank You!
I like it. When he doesn't try to scream, Dave's got a great voice. 🤘
The Band OWNS this cover, OMG! Sax, Guitar, Drumset, Bass -- they really are spectacular here. Dave of course channels Gerry Rafferty jes fine. Thanks for posting this!
Very nicely done here. Dave always delivers great vocal tracks. He is the man.
That car reminds me of the taxi in Heavy Metal!
"Cute, but stupid..." -Harry Cannon😂
@@jamwayofaiken-augustarockb7643 Most of them seem to be, unfortunately...
Great version of this song.👍🎤
You knocked it out of the ball park David Lee sounds good!
sometimes its nice to hear a rock singer not screaming
PANAMA!!!!
@@erikdeeNOSPELLSNO Dave doesn't need to scream is what I'm saying ,he has a smooth voice that is like the rock version of Dean Martin
He's NOT A SINGER
@@scooter2377 I tend to agree
Dave hasn't been able to scream since 1980
When i hear this song I always think of the time i was on holiday in Italy and I was in a café bar and they were playing baker street on repeat on the jukebox, it was 1980 and I was 10yrs old, that was a great evening and I have loved this song ever since, thanks Dave and a huge thank you to Gerry.
Love the graphics, cool friggen car... 🌙
Couldn't drive it around the block in Chicago 🙂
Nobody goes to Chicago anymore man. So uncool. 😮@@chiefwhitenoise5227
@@chriskroll4166 50 yrs of Democrat management does that 😂
By coincidence that is the car from ZZ Top's She Love My Automobile.
@@chiefwhitenoise5227 If you wanna enjoy your car's performance and a good song you dont drive around the block, you hlt the highway
Dave sounds great here. Dave using his awesome bluesy voice .
Hell dude. I was blow away! 😀 Good work Dave! ❤ Always love mean street by the way. Take care and good luck.
nice one Dave .. 🤙
Thanks for shedding some light on these golden covers and sharing them in such quality!
The one song that does not require a vocal performance
Yes. DLR cannot carry a tune in a bucket.
but I’m sure you can🙄and Dave is like 70 years old now
Brilliant, Dave! Love that song always will ya done good✅
The Diamond...Back to his roots. Many people may not know that VH use to tear up the Hollywood Strip playing covers. Even disco songs! Believe it. And they killed it! All with respect to the track while lighting it on fire with their energy.
You are very correct! I have an audio only video on my channel of Van Halen covering Led Zeppelin's "The Rover" back in 1976 if you want to hear Eddie absolutely shred that tune. He was only 21 yrs old at the time and the audio is from the soundboard recording of the show. Check it out!
@@MetalMcfly That is awesome. I'll DEF check it out.
Ecletic , Sorpreendent , Genius , Amazing ! Great David Lee Roth .
One of my favorite songs.
Wow - that Sax player was chewing the scenery 👍💥🔥
Well done, DLR. Classic song you've made your own.
This David Lee approves. Great cover!
Salute the 70s, y'all! My HS years. The best. 80s, too.
Agree 1000%
Great song and cover of it , brings back good memories!
This shows how good the Rafferty version is. It has such deep soul and the Video is great.
Bravo David! you really got us!
Now that there is the good stuff…..🔥🎸🤘🎶🔥😁
The rearview mirror isn't for looking back, it's to see how cool you look.
Word
Dave my hands down absolute fav😊
You know this is actually a pretty impressive cover. Way to go Dave!😊❤
Pretty perfect cover on a pretty perfect song. Emotive and mysterious Dave captures the essence of the song without being a carbon or a parody which isn't easy cuz the song is subtle. Kudos to the guitarist who just nailed this. Love it!
Can't believe I'm hearing Roth do this song but it's not bad!!
The consummate rock star. Love you David!
Thanks for the cover, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Sax was on fire, the rhythm flowing, guitar singing in soprano and Dave at his bluesy best. An amazing homage, Thanks again!
Excellent! I think David Lee Roth would be proud and he's actually one of the coolest and smartest dudes it would be great to meet him. He is a force by himself and he's pretty humble I believe regardless of what people say.
YEAH!!!!! This is so great. THANK YOU!!
This song has special meaning to me..Dave did good
Second song I've heard from his recent works. Both real good. Very good.
LOVE BAKER STREET …. NICE COVER DAVID .. WELL DONE MATE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A superb Cover Version
The infamous Panama car!
Badass cover of this song.
I remember the original version of the song when I was a kid yes I'm showing my age but I'm going to have to say diamond Dave did a fine job on this cover what more needs to be said it's Diamond Dave😊
Wow! He nailed it.!
First song i REALLY like from David
Wow, I am floored that this is DLR singing, and it's a great rendition of the song. Well done!
Better than expected.
Nice. I never knew he did a cover of this.😊
Me neither. Might be AI generated. Gonna look it up.
