  • Love this classic!

  • It's only been a week and I already miss San Francisco. I need this song regularly just to get by.

  • It's ridiculous how many videos show up before any journey stuff when you type 'lights' in..

  • this song is beautiful

  • Great city, I visit it twice a year love SF!

  • the video brought back memories from when I was younger and spent alot of time in the City . I was lucky to see Journey in concert at least 10 times and each time was awesome. Thanks for posting this.

  • This makes me so homesick I almost want to go home.

  • Frisco is my favorite spot I grew roots for some time. The vtm war got in the way, But the time I spent there will aways be a hi-lite. God bless the Elcamino Real - DJ

  • excellent video!

  • makes me feel nostalgia for where i use to live

  • This the ONE!

  • Journey was a Super Group.

  • Now this is a true San Francisco Video. This song was written for San Francisco, by a band called Journey, who are from San Francisco. Thank you for making this video...really kewl.

  • San Francisco is the most beautiful city. It's the city by the bay. San Francisco Giants 2010 World Series Champions, GO GIANTS. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • I love this song sooooo much!!! can someone please explain the song in detail, or are they just admiring san fran?

  • Frisco is beautiful ! 

  • @bigchickenfu Anyone from the city knows you don't call it Frisco. San Fran if you must, but not Frisco.

  • @santarosie Sorry . But I ain't from Frisco !

  • @bigchickenfu I figured that...lol I am. Third generation. ;)

  • @santarosie Go Phillies !!!

  • @santarosie I totally agree with you on that , I grew up in the Bay Area and you either called it San Fran , The City or San Francisco but for a person that was born they would never call it Frisco. That is just plain wrong.

  • Finally a video featuring San Francisco. Thanks

  • There is NO way this, after all these years is NOT known for "San Francisco". This song may have been written in LA per Steve Perry, but, the legacy that has been with this song since the late 70's can NEVER be undone! Glad to be a 5th generation rock and roller San Franciscan. However, the past 15 years of "sanctuary bay area cities" and different laws to those who do not pay taxes, I am appalled. God bless the USA & the "old SF".

  • is that Pacifica, Ca? God i miss it

  • One of the best guitar rips in Rock, love it

  • San Francisco is one of the rare American cities to be nice.

  • I always think of St.Louis when I hear this song. We don't have a bay here, we have the river and Arch, but some part of me thinks that this song was written about St.Louis. Idk just saying

  • I left S.F. in 1998. I miss it so much

  • Love this song, great pictures love the Bay Area. Proud to live in San Jose, CA. Perfect song for beautiful San Francisco.

  • nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • When people talk about the new guy fronting Journey and how 'awesome' he is, tell them to listen to this song and it will change their perspective.

  • Wow what a nice friend, SF is beautiful and goes well with this song

  • San Francisco Giants 2010 World Series Champions!!!

  • @danw2112 you hear the crowd in game 2 sing this? gave me chills

  • wow this is making my decision to move to california from seattle even more correct...beautiful!

  • Go GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!

  • This remains one of my favorites, both for Journey's excellent "Lights in the City" and the photos of San Francisco. Thanks again for posting it.

  • Wann go back!

  • When I come back here to home I always hear this in my head, and when I miss home I play it. ( I LOVE MY BAY)

  • This song is 587687687 times better than Don't Stop Believing.  Just saying.

  • FOR ALL MY FRIENDS LIVING IN THE BAY AREA, NOT JUST S.F BUT ALSO OAKLAND....BUT HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS, I GUESS IT APPLIES TO ANY CITY WHICH IS ON A BAY, LIKE SEATTLE, VANCOUVER, ETC...ANYHOW, CITIES BY THE SEA ARE THE BEST PLACES TO LIVE!!!..

    ENJOY IT!!

  • What a drag to link a great song to a really dirty city. This is the good parts. You haven't smelled the urine down Market or the sewer smells down by Union Square, and the rancid smell waters of the bay, or the homeless all over the city. Worse than any big city I've seen and I've been all over.

  • @soho25ta Hmmmm..... What Ive found is that YOU get EXACTLY what you look for! Go to the beach ANYWHERE and you have the CHOICE of seeing Trash, grafitti, and icky smells..... OR the ocean, dolphins, amazing beautiful souls walking around, and look a little closer and see God / Spirits / higher powers fingerprints EVERYWHERE... It takes practice my love but it can be done!! If I was able to learn ANYONE can! Blessings!

  • watch out for used condoms with feces still clingging you might step on it...it got HIV...

  • i use to live there and i miss it now i live two hours away i was just there with my cousins

  • @habbadou

    I dunno what drug / philosophy / mindset / kool aid / religion / venereal disease is causing you to think the bay blows but I sure hope it never infects me and turns me into a youtube tough guy.

    Happy Hating

  • i miss s.f. so much

  • At 1:11 to 1:31 is the beach in my hometown city of Pacifica !

  • i also grew up in pacifica...... the also had the best sun sets

    from sandy

  • nice song,and nice city,and way better than LA

  • Yeah! Let's all go to San francisco, so we can get sore throats from all the pollution and smog!

    Don't get me wrong though, Journey is awesome.

  • i know you left this comment awhile back but i couldn't help but realize how stupid you are for saying that. I've lived in the city my entire life and not once have I ever had any problems with pollution. The sky's of San Francisco are not polluted. In fact, its usually clear as crystal unless we have fog coming in from the bay. Los Angeles is the city with such problems. You are a fucking idiot my friend, a dumb fucking idiot.

  • sensitive. relax, this guy was just trying to push someone's buttons. i guessed it worked. and i live in sf too.

  • I remember a ad from the 80`s

    "Top of the hill Daly City"

  • I remember a particular Monday Night Football game in San Francisco several years ago. Right before the game started it got completely quiet and they played this song while giving different panoramic views of San Fran. It was very impressive.

  • best song for the best city in the world!!!

  • Thanks for posting. I had my honeymoon in SF in 2006. I miss it too, it's my favorite place in the world.

  • I Love San Franciso and I'm about 30 minutes away and I spens alot of time there! love this song!

  • tight song and vid man

  • I can understand how you feel about missing San Francisco. I miss it, as well, and wish I was back home there. I was born and raised in San Francisco. It's my hometown, as well.

  • I love visiting frisco when i visit my family in the bay area every summer i will take my nieces and nephews to the pier! and it's so beautiful! thanks for the memories!!

    from east coast!

  • Ahhhh, makes me wanna go back.

  • I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!!

  • I'm from SoCal but I learned to appreciate this song during my time in the northern half

  • I live in the city where I was born and raised (Seattle), but my fondest years and best memories were made during the 12 years I spent in San Francisco after college.

  • Hey bud ! I am from there also ! See you,ve got shots of Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica . I lived in Pacifica for seven years before I moved to Idaho .

  • This great song always made me proud about beautiful San Francisco. Journey was a great band. Even though I was pretty small when this song came out, I liked it. KFRC AM Radio even used this music as one of their promos. It was good being a kid in those years.

  • Soooo Homesick!

    But I love it!!!

  • I love this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • One of the BEST bands EVER created!

  • very nice video man! keep it up!

  • why do they keep saying thank u??

    good vid man

  • BelgiumWafflez, You mentioned him the first time you posted this video with another LOGON. You said he made it in an attempt to apologize to you for something he had done.

  • Close but not exactly correct.. nice try Dana

  • I am so glad you are a naughty girl and reposted this wonderful video and terrific Journey song. As much as before it takes me back to SF Bay Area, makes me homesick and want to return.

    Did you ever forgive you old beau for whatever he did to cause him to make this video for you?

    Whatever THANK YOU, again!

  • Who said anything about an "old beau"?

  • thank you!  soooo homesick!

  • Reminds me of our annual thanksgiving trip to my aunts house in san francisco! Thank you for this
