Foo Fighters concluded their week-long takeover as the musical guest for Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday evening. For the performance, the band revived their cover of Gerry Rafferty’s 1978 song “Baker Street.” According to Consequence, the cover was originally released in 1998 on the UK CD single for “My Hero.”
Billboard reports that frontman Dave Grohl previously identified the track as one of his favorite songs of all time during an interview with Kimmel earlier in the week. Grohl described the song as a guilty pleasure that reminds him of driving with his mother in the 1970s. During the performance, lead guitarist Chris Shiflett played the song's famous riff rather than using a saxophone player.
