Foo Fighters released a cover of Gerry Rafferty's 1978 classic Baker Street. The Foo's version was first released in November 1997 on a limited-edition EP accompanying the album The Colour And The Shape. The recording also appeared on some versions of the My Hero single the following year.

The Baker Street recording appeared on Medium Rare, the Record Store Day covers compilation released in 2010. It resurfaced on 10th anniversary editions of The Colour And The Shape in 2007. The recording has been largely missing from Spotify and other streaming platforms due to licensing and distribution limitations.

Dave Grohl & Co. originally recorded Baker Street for BBC Radio One's Evening Session in April 1997. The band reprised Baker Street during their four-night residency on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Grohl played Baker Street at an event honouring late Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Hillel Slovak at the Silverlake Conservatory in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Foo Fighters will kick off their stadium tour of Australia next week. The Foo Fighters tour includes two dates in New Zealand in January.
