I didn't know about this version till now. I'm a fan of Vampire WE, but I must say they don't even come close to Bonnie Raitt in their rendering of this beautiful song. OK, the quality of the recording is bad, but it wouldn't make much difference if it were better.
Not trying to hear it every night at work so that's why no thumbs up but nicely done. Kinda hope to find an even better version of their cover ( no offense) I'd like to hear the mix done a little better. Don't know that I'll be seeing them any time soon. But who knows. Either way though. I was just looking for gerry doing it live and stumbled across this actually.
It's a difficult song to do well. Not harmonizing in the bridge ... Not layering the organ and the bass ... poor mix (ok mobile phone)... Lead singer not too strong either. The guitar is probably the best part but it's also the most distinguished element in the original arrangement. I wouldn't try covering Rafferty for the life of me. The guy was a perfectionist.

this is a cover, not a new song
Ya but its a cover of one of the best songs of all time
@@bubbastard haha true but it still says in the bio “vampire weekends new song”
And, the worst cover I've heard.
Good cover of a great song. My only complaint is where was the bass player on this video? I mean that bass is the glue of the song.
I hear it
the keyboardist is playing the bass manzareck style
Jimi James he’s there. he just walked out of frame. you can see him in the beginning. the keyboard is playing ambiance
Yeah this dudes impromptu cell phone recording of an otherwise completely lost performance is so disappointing!
Had to take a piss mate
They killed this cover. So good
Great song choice! 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
One of my all time favourites.
Really nice cover, well done guys, respect to you 👍
Great cover!!! What is this a church carnival? Why is nobody dancing? That’s Gerry Rafferty, when you hear Gerry you dance!
The young kids never heard the song so they were like deer in headlights

Choked on the chorus but nice effort
Good sometime you song wrong ok
Put the guitar down if you're not going to play it.😂
Good try but not loud enough lead singer sounds asleep
Weak vocals
