Scott McKenzie - San Francisco 1992

[MrDacottage]

is he still alive? does he play tour at all? KEEP THE MOVEMENT ON THO BRADDAHS.

[billboardnumber1]

love this song and the video except from 0:28 to 0:33

[onnoman]

what are those stupid german clappers? annoying germans! :@

[GEREMYSAVAGE]

qualche figlio di puttana per rovinare questo sogno meraviglioso fece circolare droghe a suo pro sapendo bene che poi sarebbero stati tutti additati come tossici, col preciso intento di non far aggregare gente usando quello schifoso anatema dividet et impera,,io lavorerò tutta la vita fino a che avrò un alito di fiato perchè questo sogno risorga,,,forza uniamoci nella comprensione universale, e l'amicizia totale che non è per niente e sempre solo buonismo gratis credetemi, vi aspetto

[damens]

What a shit version - anyone would think this was a bad karaoke joint - and he's the original artist !!

[Tfoe500]

EPIC

[TheElianeliane]

Não fazem músicas assim hj em dia,linda demias!!!

[wattever333]

this is the original recording pasted over a 1992 video.

[anasor97]

Scott McKenzie is a legend.

[WilBarn991]

Good seeing him. He has aged gracefully.

[67psych]

@WilBarn991I Agree he has! Remember this was 19 years ago! i wonder what he is like in 2011.

[WilBarn991]

@67psych

Even today in 2011...I bet he could really sing this classic song. That's talent!

[mistressofaminer]

Even with the video out of sync, it still has the same high studio reverb and acoustics and volume consistency as the original studio recording.Allowing a 3-6 second delay or advance plus all the over the head clapping to the rhythym, facing away from the mic from varying distances during the bridge, it is highly unlikely this is performed live, it literally matches the original recording.The point is he has a great smooth sound that defined an era that forever left a huge impact on r culture.

[9988776698]

love this song

[lietemiranda]

ests e todos os videos de scott mckenzie faz qualquer um voltar ao passado e sonhar e recordar so de amores que marcaram sua vida te adoro scott milhoes de beijosssssssss

[Commonsense11111]

[Nannirk]

But I've already seen it... Someone needs to lay off the geoblocking.. This song has been released in most of the world. Probably this version too..

A song that is still great and inspired many people in the days we actually read whole books!

[daze2525]

what's all this crap about "the giants" go to a football site tossers!

[BugsMoran]

@daze2525 it's a baseball team brother. The San Francisco Giants. The football team are the New York Giants.

[nw8000]

His voice hasent changed at all. Not like Bob Dylans

[humbv]

Nice... other Giants fans here. I'm feeling it and chillin with some SF songs. Got to love them the way they handled the Phils and now it's on to Texas. Yea.... yah!!

[Nebraskachic]

[kojamo7]

My first thing in 0:28 was.... "no shitt my computer tilt" !!!!

[bocaj0]

this song is great so is he. he sing this song like he do on every movie on youtube :)

[Nguli34689]

In many ways 1990's were like 1960's and I know why too!!

[jimcody23]

its a great song but i was hoping that this video was more than just a recording over....

[rodilexx]

Grande, muy grande Scott McKenzie

[MrTwotrees]

Totally an inspired song a time of peace and Love.Great u topic thought inssired by hope in the good things in all people!

[TheGranule]

Great video, good to see that he made it after some bad times in the 70s.

[feetlover18]

@TheGranule bad times you mean good high times

[oliasdoug]

:-( I wish this was an actual taped vocal performance, and not just video footage with the studio version dubbed over it.

[chiara20101]

trascinante meraviglioso brano, forse il mio preferito

[sidmetalex]

genial tema lastima que sea un play back....:D

[TheJaney56]

still great and what a voice and so cute.

[twokmb01]

I WANNA GO TO SAN FRANSICSO...ANYONE ELSE??? I wanna meet Scott too!!

[TheJaney56]

@twokmb01 Yeah I was there in 71 - 72 and would love to meet him.

[laschonni2]

And now this song is good

[Trac3ri]

sip synching suxxxxors my socksoors

[RoryNights]

A beautiful song, timeless. Thanks for posting this video footage !

[magpieeye]

Yeah, I would have liked to hear him singing it at the age he was in this video.  Still a great song in any respect.

[ElJeli]

¡¡¡Uuuuyyy!!! ¡¡¡Viejo y gordo, pero canta igualito. !!!

[TheJaney56]

He is still so hot and wonderful. I love this song and the man.

[Ettasian]

yeah, masterpiece :3

[MiSiFiTlOvE]

...A chinese should stick to his own world and stop spreading the disgusting breed that is Cancer...

[Nannirk]

Lip synching all the way.

[Huitzel]

@Nannirk What an idiot... You realize the audio/video has de-synced. He isnt lip syncing, the video is just shitty quality... God damn is this your first time watching a video on youtube?

[coupelikeacaravan]

@Nannirk but you have to admit, that's some damn good lip synching

[ombrax5]

Безсмертна пісня! Forever! And thankssssssssss!

[Nguli34689]

@ombrax5 Ya saglasin s' vami. Togda V' Amerikye bila svaboda dorogaya.

[angelo062367]

songs like this take me back to when things were a lot easyer to deal with

[LordHelmchen1989]

playback !

[GergelyMA]

@LordHelmchen1989 I like this peace so much... and ... ahhh this time... fuckin playback :(

[TUBEQUEENEE]

I don't think he lip sync'd.

Think who ever made this vid subbed the original song into it.

Yes. Would've loved to have heard him sing it el natural.

No matter what age.

[swampzoid]

i understand that singers lose their range as they grow older but I'd far rather hear them sing live with a lower register than lipsync.

[billkapla12]

great song! im 15 and i never listen to rap i love led zepplin, the beatils, pink floyd, the eagils, ccr, and of corse Hendrix!

[perix888]

@billkapla12 makes 2 of us except im 16

[57bigjoe]

@billkapla12-The best music ever were in those times,but do me a favor.Listen to these christian bands-the katinas and leeland and tell me what you think,but you have to listen to the words!

[thejedi9makisi]

This guy is great! He has a huge inspration for people (and Hippies) lol. I love him !

[Joan2928]

Great song crappy video!!!

[sue2208]

Oh the 60s, bring 'em back!!

[Glaciusmaximus]

Very Good!

[mark1marble]

terrible

[dfhelle]

Hello everyone... San Francisco song is my song. Only my song. If you know what I mean... He sing only for me. All the people out there clap their hands because I love the song...if you know what I mean....Have a great day...

[Ascaidh]

I love this song!

[Sgtpsoto]

Don't dub over,, this makes the video suck , let it come out as it is if i wanted to hear the original , i would have found it elsewhere

[Neptoony]

No band...clearly the orig. version. Too bad.

[wilberelrey]

hubiera sido maravilloso vivir en la época que esta cancion estuvo en pleno apogeo

[JODIMAR45]

I think when people mime to their old hits in a way it cheapens the original versions of the songs they sang....

[onroute93]

why does he hve to lip sync. its so obvious this is the same as the recorded version he made 40 years ago. maybe he can't sing anymore :(

[matteoviviano]

@onroute93 it wasn't lip synced, it's the origional version dubbed over some crappy live footage

[oniallain1965]

I have to admit that Scott Mackenzie also did a nice version at Hampton Beach "Club Casino" in 1993. Dan O'Niallain, Grafton, Ma.

[zerokiryu93]

sould like the orignal

[Mikbruselas]

awesome song!

[maurin]

i like his pants. what the fuck?

[3Rubee]

and his neru collar. Some 60's one-hit wonders should just not try to re-create. neat song though.

[ChicagoNeilcon]

This song was written by John Phillips [R.I.P.] of the Mamas & Papas. I was 21 years od in that era & you could live it to the MAX. If you would flash a 'V' Peace Sign @ a receptive hippie chic, you were as good as laid. That , of course, was B4 some male Canadian Flight attendant decided to ball some monkey in the Carribean, and bring AIDS upon a civilization! Thanks a lot, Pal, for bringing the 'Free Love' era to a screaching halt ! All those who go to SF best take a condon & dental dam!

[McQueensMustang]

what the hecks the matter with this video? it's all fucked up.

[chenjirong]

what a great song

it remind me a lot of my memory..

what a great city ...I was longing for it

............yes ..a chinese love this city..the most fantastic city in the world

[mrChills1]

@chenjirong of course a chinaman loves sf. the whole damn sunset is over run by u chings.

[littlesirenboy]

He is so obviosly lip sinking

[chuy35medina]

@littlesirenboy sure seems like it. you will notice, maybe, that the original, live on stage music is in the background, with the missed strings and all.

[littlesirenboy]

well yeah I guess, but I mean his voice it would not sound the same from like 1967. Because that's in 1992.

[ChicagoNeilcon]

Yo , LSB: It's spelled lip syncing. from the word syncronize

[RocketBora28]

0:28,0:33 wtf!?

[xXbelabestXx]

air hammer

[thabs83]

san francisco... it s the very cool city.

[Lawen78]

Yea its probably live IRL, but some1 put the orginal version over

[Klosth]

0:28 ~ 0:33

AAJJAJJAJA

[icesfelipe]

@Klosth hahaha that sounded like the music was going on a turn... like on electro music :P

[Klosth]

@icesfelipe xddddddd

[kxSPORTING76]

Ta asno

Go fuck yorself

[xon1a]

@xD

[hkg02161954]

I spent alot of weekends there..the most gorgious city in the world

[14x09u87]

I'm brazilien and love this music so much. He takes me to San Francisco. I imagine that it is a very beautiful city.

[ankabzzz]

I thought he was dead... dunno why...

[derenkoff]

where is the moscow boston new york etc?

[caldragon7]

I heard this and thought "dang he sounds just like he did way back in 1966....even at a live concert? Then I realized it was the origional song dubbed over...would have loved to have heard the live sound...

[tage92]

Maybe it is live, but this apperantly got someone putting the studio version over the video.

Anyways, GREAT Song.

[newhotman1001]

For those of you who didn't grow up during this time (1967), this is one of the great voices in pop music. Check out "Like an Old Time Movie" for another terrific song.

[stupullen]

0:33 noise...cool song

[Blutonomous]

Or is it Joe Dirt?

[Pegbur]

LOL

[Blutonomous]

One Hit Wonder

[Pegbur]

Ya, it's a wonder it was a hit.

[Naturepheonix]

Who needs weed?

[Phonologie]

Great Playback

[LnsGrn]

anyone from lima/2/75th/lt inf

[omega190e]

i was born in 1992 for fuck sakes

[blackvulcan100]

Such a mime its sounds so like the 1960s version which of course it cant be

[darkness1991ify]

cool

[lancetop]

Nice song! but Scott should have cut that mullet, and shaved the trash-stache! LOL

[WorldIslamicOrder]

I love SF becouse there are no evangelical nut jobs there.

[Jacobobi1]

so it isn't live, this is just him from the 60's overlapping him in 92.

[ReaperDamska]

lol, wrinkles

[mastroga21]

wow dude u sound is mest up in the beginning

[angelo062367]

this takes me back in time

[janicepjam]

love hippies!!

[rasfus]

someone should give him a haircut, and some new pants

[RobertFosterMullen]

rasfus  LOL

[esp1964]

they became radical liberals today!!!!!

[maccafan10]

TexasToast09.

Hey dude, with a fat stupid looking face like your profile one, how the hell can you complain about someone having a few wrinkles ? LOL.

[maccafan10]

Te3xasToast09. Well if I AMa fag, then you seem to be showing some interest. If I am not, then your reply is a 'knee jerk' reaction to my pointing out to everyone that you are are an ugly bastard who looks like his spotty face has been set on fire and then extinguished with a size 15 Golf shoe.

[maccafan10]

BTW, I just want to take the piss out of you because you deserve it. ROFLMFAO

[maccafan10]

TexasToast09. Ha ha. Fuck me, just seen your 'chubby bunny' vid (Mister. I eat way too many Hamburgers)

Do you honestly think its funny ? (DOH !!).

A real Homer Simpson moment for sure. ROFL.

Are you really sure that you have the qualifications to ridicule aging Hippies or call someone a fag ? Huh ?

You have a face that one would never tire of hitting (and by the looks of it there has been a long queue to have a go at it ) ROFL.

[TexasToast09]

you have no idea why I am Fat. I do not eat like a pig! for 5 years of my life, I had to get steroid shots in my left arm 2wice a week. If I didn't get the shots I would have died. I had very bad breathing problems. Now I am fat but at least im not ugly like you. I can always lose weight. there is nothing that can be done for you! I could really care less about you. at least I look good enough for youtube to allow me to put a picture of myself on my profile. you must really be ugly!

[TexasToast09]

plus I love Scots music, so if your going to rant about fat people. Get off!

[maccafan10]

TexasToast09.

So what you are really saying is that your "please feel sorry for me whilst I will STILL take the piss out of others "condition is an excuse to get away with calling folk 'hippies and fags' huh ?

Its possible that ex-'hippies' and the like are now the very same Doctors and Scientists who kept you alive. Probably some of them could be 'fags' too. So before you become so quick to wildly judge others again (without substance and just by their hairstyle) you'de better think twice.

[afgxiv]

football sucketh your comment ist pretty funny but is also tru.

Fritz 5154 the sound is terrible you should fix it.

[FootballSucketh]

If you're going to Oakland, California,

Be sure to wear a bullet proof vest on your chest, you're going to meet a lot of murderous gangbangers there.

[tortangtalong]

ahahahahaha yeah true that

[blinko656]

Scott is now a Catholic Priest and lives in Oakland Ca

[Alexxx13fight]

Scott was the man in the 60's, now he somehow looks like a has-been but he's still an icon from a great period full of hope and idealism

[VonStierlitz]

If you're going to San Fransicko,

Be sure to wear a hippy tin-foil hat,

If you're going to San Fransicko,

You're gonna meet some crazy people there ...

[khonglao]

yes, i love San Francisco. I remember vividly during my trip to the city few years ago. Not only you should wear a hippy cloth, but your mentality should be very liberal too just like people living in Amsterdam. I love this song so much.

[flakbac]

hey look at me im 70 and pretending im still 17 i dont have to grow up im a hippie john and yoko forever mannnnnnnnn

[rodstartube]

are you 70 or 49?

[GrissomLovesSara]

Total, unmitigated CLASSIC. Nothing else sounds like this song

[7chill777]

I agree.  Its a one and only!
