Middle of the Road - Sacramento (1972)

[metalkat77]

But the video it seen it wasn't filmed in Sacramento this look like Amsterdam

[Infernandios]

eeeeso mierda!!! Party Hard jakakaja

[soessa1980]

ehhhh they talk about Sacramento ? well why do they record this in Amsterdam ??

[gothicshred1]

I grew up with this song.Had the 45 in the 70's.



[studiodecibel]

is it a dutch flag on the background?(A) i feel honoured that they recorded this song on the waters of Amsterdam...

[lubovvasileva]

What iz the lovely!!!!!!

[MrJannu123]

aika iloista :)

[MrAnnonniem]

Amsterdam, Holland :D:D:D

[cricketbat08]

Amsterdam had to do instead of Sacramento :)

[juanucho1958]

Conoci sus temas en un programa de TV en Chile llamado Musica Libre en donde bailaban muchachos jovenes y la musica seleccionada era la mas bailable de esos años, como la Argentina Uruguaya etc. Sus temas fueron muy conocidos el mas famoso fue Soley soley , ha ella la encontre preciosa con sus ojitos pardos.

sweet...one 

[panhead58ful]

[huddinge08]

[RABe520]

You're in Amsterdam - a wonderful time. sing sing sing... :P Great song. :)

[Swedishcarrina]

Um... Sacramento is horrible.

[twannus]

And why is this recorded in Amsterdamn?



[Traveller0025]

Union spring in amsterdam :-(

[Shoox1990]

Ich mag das blonde Mädchen auch =3

[SuuzzzMangar]

This the first record that I've got from my mother...I was six years old.....

[Observer1964]

defenitly Amsterdam, the flag on the boat is the dutch flag, the view from the gracht is unmistakable

[zapspace]

Their best song ... (brings back memories)  ... excellent campfire music !

[anamcara13]

Oh my god....I am so fat :)

[BarbaShime]

This version is a bit slower and lower key than one on the train. Or is it just play speed?

[crapple009]

Sally's pretty hot here.

[gerardoloi]

Simply and pretty

[ronaldvanderkleij]

Not only Lou reed or Pink Floyd get my interest at 10 years old small by.No Abba is later and blond is holy. Middle of the road flowers in your hear and there was love ervrywhere. The Americans claimed Vietnam but no we loive Sacramento. Later I understand a little bit the politics and became Punk and Wave but this is my youth and bobody can take this away.

[sammie116ful]

mijn vader was toen 13xd

[svenswart]

@sammie116ful My moeder was 12. Ek is Afrikaans. Dis hoe ek jou verstaan.

[robin6512]

@svenswart das bai goed

[erwinruys]

haha Who is the lovely blonde? THAT"S SALLY!!

[chicagocaam]

Ik was toen 8 

[LoopMeister]

Remember my mom had this record and I was playing it all day long haha... and that was 1988 for me :)

[loutjeb8163]

geweldige tijd , mooie muziek

[gypsyroadhog]

Looking like Rod, Jane and Freddy....Rainbow fans lol

[MickeyLove01]

@TheOmnibot Or perhaps an injection of alcohol is required to produce the accent within a song?

[MickeyLove01]

@TheOmnibot Actually, it's a well known fact that the Bay City Rollers were told to "not speak scottish" by their management prior to their failed attempt to take america in 1975. Even the mighty Nazareth's Dan McCafferty was guilty of dropping his scots twang to sound more "international". It's a shame, that's why I admire the complainers, er, I mean the proclaimers...

[flymatt741]

tak to už hej :)

[Frans441]

Yes its Amstardam, the place i bin born! Nice time and musik! I was at that time 22 years and it was the best time of my live!!

[tonijn1969]

this was recorded in Amsterdam

[MickeyLove01]

another scottish singer disguising her accent, you have to admire the proclaimers for sticking to their guns...

[TechnicalEvaluation]

So they're Dutch? So weird, because the guitarist in Shocking Blue also had that country inflection in his playing.

[petyoprinsen]

@TechnicalEvaluation

they aren't

[TechnicalEvaluation]

@petyoprinsen

Yep. Scottish. Got it. Uh, they still sound quite a bit like The Shocking Blue. Especially the guitarist.

[TechnicalEvaluation]

@TechnicalEvaluation Oh, and the singer for this band is a bit "chipmunk-y" compared to Mariska Veres.

[idea28ed]

this remains beantiful music  45 year from ago beoordeling cijfer 10

[erwinruys]

Amsterdam?? I think

[thanksforthemessdick]

ok this a sweet rabbit hole

[HjortGeirsMr]

Sacra-men-to , basstones ringing to the voice of ever lasting love-light

[HjortGeirsMr]

It's in the sun , as lovely as sun can be, thoughting Sacramento, far ahead bu near

[papashura]

Masterpiece!

[sockington1]

has she got a mouthful of marbles ?

[dizital52]

dutchtrainmanserie22If you are sure well

Thanks

[riyazvw]

the setting of this video clip is in Amsterdam i think

[boxbuyer]

It's pretty hilarious given what kind of dump Sacramento is. There is really nothing great about it! Am a California resident who's lived all over it... also european originally, so I can relate to the silly sentiment. Great song tho, glad I rediscovered it decades later.

[pbohnhof001]

@boxbuyer shut up stupid, sacramento is far from a dump, you ignorant bitch. I'm sure if you are originally from Europe that you know what a dump really is, seeing as how the whole continant (which it really is not) is a filthy toilet bowl. Go back to europe where you belong, dipshit & get out of California, you don't belong & are not wanted skank.

[SubZer089]

@boxbuyer Obviously its good enough of a place for a band to sing about it you ignorant piece of shit.

[surgev777]

[JAKProductions3]

Sac POWER! lol

[juliethebruce]

I'm from Sacramento...sing sing sing ding ding ding? I sure never heard this song before! I didn't know we had an Indian spring.....are they saying "a tender feeling of confusion?" because of course, Sacramento looks nothing like the lovely city depicted here! I'm confused.

[yvonne5919]

@juliethebruce is just a song and verry old but is nice ,and the people from usa was the indians right !

[Lamvesp]

@juliethebruce The city depicted is, Amsterdam. I live there.

[musicfriekje]

That guy with Mickey Mouse-shirt :D What is he hitting on?? Looks hilarious, but what a happy song, luv it!!

[pia45]

helemaal super

[Sochanu]

SACRAMENTO!!!!! ♥

[udder777]

Great song, however this is not Sacramento.

[buric3]

well...the song is great ...but where in the name of michael jackson are the amps

[SuperBob160]

[SERGIOSOTORAYGADA]

Amsterdam I don´t understand the song

[shuchr]

she was one woman i wid have f...ed

[Keijz74]

Nice!

[fatpizzaman]

Sally Carr is a fucking hottie!! Looks a bit like Agnetha from ABBA. Great country rock song as well - far superior to a lot of the dull, tepid crap in the charts today.

[cricketbat08]

It looks bloody freezing on that Dutch canal! Sally is amazing!

[sambda]

@cricketbat08 Yes! LOL at all the fog coming out their mouths! Bloody perishing.

[buric3]

great song :x great band :x verry hippie-otic

[GoodVibesOfficial]

♪♫♥ !

[TheKalipse]

Very nice song.I like :)

[PrinceCharles11]

Wrong text Sally...;-) Amsterdam you mean :-)

[MrCoolRadioVoiceGuy]

Very ABBA-esque! But while Sally hits all the high notes with ease, her voice is not as good as Agnetha's (of ABBA).

[ShaithMaster]

I think you have to be raised here to appreciate the fantasticness of SACRAMENTO

[inkydoug]

I bet Sally wished they were in Sacramento instead of a cold foggy ditch in Holland!

[Hoekenes]

Love to see Sally Carr in Amsterdam! My Sacramento is the Amstel! 

[MrAqua66]

Amsterdam of course. Group from Scotland.

[MrKysiaczek1]

Szukałem, szukałem i full radochę miałem jak się dokopałem.

[tedharris1975]

Sacramento will be a nice town again once we get that Austrian out of here.

[ShaithMaster]

@tedharris1975 tru dat

[Hoekenes]

This is the Amstel in Amsterdam! I love Middle of the Road!

[samsandbox]

Brilliant band and great music - still madly infectious even 40 years later.

What has happened - why can't Britain still make this sort of stuff today?

[Robfoxman]

[UKKarsten]

I have been in Sacramento... Years ago. All I remember was the replaced Old Town and the biggest sweety-shop I have ever seen. But a canal and a boat? No...

[ecube100]
