Foo Fighters occasionally played the song live in the next decade following its release, including its last performance in November 2007.
However, Dave Grohl and the band stunningly revived the “Baker Street” cover from its nearly 20-year dormancy earlier this month during their set at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music’s 25th anniversary benefit show.
