  • Miss ya Pim...

  • Really liked this tune back when it came out, and this rendition rocks it...great memories!

  • Live sounds just as good as the recorded song. It's great and brings back lots of memories!

  • I can't listen to it JUST ONCE...I have to listen to it over and over...

  • 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.

  • ahhhhhh memories

    thanks

  • It's weird, every so often a band from another country captures the mood of north americans. These guys did it the sumer of 1980. I remember it well.

  • @zigzagbigbag You hit the nail right on the head. This song speaks to my Yankee soul! And uh, yeah, the redhead is smokin' hot!

  • Wow, Vera Farmiga is a backup singer.

  • Awesome Live performance !!! Kick Ass

  • 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.

  • Een van mijn favoriete Nederlandse producties. Helemaal top..

  • These guys are incredible! Very tight!

  • she is a pretty lady

  • 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 !

  • actually it was "Watts in A Tank"

  • I just love it. It never sounded this good on AM radio.

  • nice sound quality..

  • I agree with SeaShepherd41, the Redhead IS hot!

  • Comment removed

  • Nothing but baby boomers in the crowd just wishing they could go back and do it all over again!

  • @bluecatfish Lol, but you're right

  • The redhead is hot!

    And btw, this is the best Dutch song of the eighties...

  • @SeaShepherd41 Cindy Oudshoorn

  • One of my brother's and I's favorite songs ! He Bailed out on ME last year ! Thanks for this !

  • 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!

  • I love this song, great to hear a live version after 30-odd years....

  • bellissima

  • 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.

  • What a great band!!

  • One of those infectious songs that once you hear it stays on your mind.

  • Don't call it "Frisco" lol.......

  • Very great live performance, I still play this song on the my 45 once in a while, still takes me back, along with my memories of the 80's.

  • Wonderful! Back to 1980... when I hitchhiked in California....

  • 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 !

  • Oh, I had forgotten about this. Love it! One of those great driving story songs like "you and me and a dog named boo".

  • I have the LP, paid not too much online.

    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?

    EXCELLENT performance!

  • Love this song, had the album, it got ruined.. looked all over for another, found the cassette and cost me $50! Took the guy 6 months to find one!!

  • unfortunally , it didn't last to long for this band , one of the best Dutch bands , Pim was the best Dutch drummer , have the original on a best of

  • @vanrysselberghewim in the spirit of Pim, kayak continues with Hans Eijkenaar. Great stuff

  • i love this happy song!

  • gran combinación y grandes recuerdos

    

  • One of my "Get Happy" tunes! Awesome job guys!!!

  • 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.......

  • I always loved this song... particularly because my first car I bought for a whopping 75 bucks back in 1977 was a '66 Rambler American Rogue.

  • 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.

  • amazing !!!! 

  • Cindy Oudshoorn is so cute when at 1:40 she realizes that she's going for the bridge too early... charming :-)

  • A great live performance!!!!

  • 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 !

  • a very good performance!!!!!!

  • Try Down In the Silver Mine ................that is a very good song too!

  • So why do they show the lead guitar during the guitar solo, but not the bass player during his solo? One of the best bass solos ever!

  • I LOVE this song.....OMG this has been in my head for years and years and I finally remembered to look on you tube for it....I am very happy!

  • Who ois the women that is the backup singer in the background? She is hot

  • 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.

    ROCK'N'ROLL
