Im far from a baby boomer and I love this song!! They've got an excellent group of musicians up there and it's clear there were alot of rehearsal time involved, especially with the harmnoies. My only complaint is the replacement drummer is overplaying BIGTIME!! Clearly he passed the audition and obviously had some big shoes to fill. Although the extra fills do add some added flair, given the song, space would have been nice. However, if the music director said "go for it", why not.
Holy moly, did that sound good! It was a kool song back then and still holds up well. I'm amazed at how well this performance sounds. Talk about a tight band. And yeah, the redhead is hot.
Beautiful and happy memories from highschool when listening to this song, it had been a very long time ever since I last heard it, thanks deazol for posting it !
Even the dead can wake up and start dancing and singing with this very special song !
By the way, Cindy looks just beautiful as usual ! PERFECT PERFORMANCE, AS USUAL !
Rarely does a the live version of a song sound as good as the original. This is an exception to that rule. This IS a superior rendition of this great rock song. Great job, Diesel!
Excelente canción e interpretación. Soy Chileno y de la ciudad de Viña del Mar, aquí hay un parque con el nombre de Sausalito. Y ahora me voy al estadio Sausalito a ver a mi equipo de futbol Everton. Grande Diesel. Ever for Ever.
Woah , this is a very good video ! A great song to start with and excellent live performance and almost perfect audio (sound levels , vocals etc.) . Very well done !
I seem to have noted thar Chilliwack lost their girl and you posters found Kayak's! I will point out I was a teen the first time around...don't see any ear trumpets at least ;-P
If Radar Love is an ultimate driving and girl song, this was about maybe a '58 American with a missing mirror?
Wow, great video and pretty good sound as well! This song was a hidden gem and for the longest time couldn't be found even on '80s compilation CDs and the like. One of the best guitar hook songs ever and a song that just makes you feel good listening to it.
wow. I've not heard this song in over 20+ years. Summer '82: I can still remember crusin' down from Pali Hwy the very first time I heard this song! Just a great song.......
Heard this song one time on late night radio while attending Truman University back in 82. Never knew the name of the song or the band but the tune has been in my head. Thank you very much for posting it.

I was touring the US West - Colorado to Wyoming - when I heard this on the radio, and it brought back memories of a great time in Sausalito. Not sure if it was a hit in Australia- but it should have been,
This is Kayak, a Dutch band. The original band was Diesel, also from the Netherlands. There's some cross-pollination between the two bands. Kayak's late drummer left to form Diesel. One of Diesel's guitarists is now in Kayak. The lovely and talented lady backup singer is Cindy Oudshoorn. Great performance and tribute to their shared former drummer.
not one oz of fat on this video. the guitar rift rocks, a gorgeous backup singer, and a drummer who ate three paydays before the show. yeah....bubble gum rock LIVES !
I have been trying to "find" this song for 30 years!!! Finally!!! I never knew the name of the band, just that the song had the word "Sausalito" in it, lol. Crazy how we hold on to things from our youth. This live version was nails by the way!
@nwstud31 you and me both bro....wow F***** FINALLY......the most underrated song of all time
one of my Drum students'Dad helped me find it..I kinda play the riff on Guitar and he started singing bits&parts then boom downloaded the song and it's on 24 7 now....!!!!!!!!!!! trying to get my Band
SOUND ENGINE to cover it.......I'd love to anyway!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS "DIESEL" what other songs do they have? hmmmm.
loo at how happy those cats are, must have been awesome to be there, a true classic. this song should be added to everyone's to listen to over and over again list
rob i love all ur songs but this one stillmakes me wannaget in a car an roar on down teh highway,,,kudos,,,,,id love to make a karaoke version from this live show if i have ur permission,,,rock on,,randy
