This song really takes me back. Hard to believe they’re from the Netherlands. The song has such a great American rock n roll feel.

It was a super catchy pop tune with that earworm guitar riff and then they hit you with those unexpected multiple guitar solos near the end that puts the song into legendary status.

Thank you thank you thank you for doing this song. Just my opinion but this song is one of the best one hit wonders out there. Have this one on my playlist and listen to it often. This is such a great cruising song.

That riff is so cool. I remember when it first came out, it was addicting! "... a shot of premium to boot, dear..." Such a cool lyric capturing the putting around in a jalopy on a road trip.

This song with many American city and landmark references and slang to describe our cars and freeways was actually performed by Diesel a Dutch band which shocked me when I learned of this.

Every time I've seen that question "What song would you listen to in your convertible cruising on an open desert highway. "Sausalito Summer Nights" has been my answer for decades.

When it first came out I also thought it was the Steve Miller Band, bought the single (and around the same time, bought Steve Miller's new album, Circle of Love, haha)

Seriously? They sound nothing like Steve Miller. For the record, this lp is pretty good all the way through

It was forever that I always assumed this was a Steve Miller Band song. I didn't find out the actual artist until maybe a decade ago.

I had nearly forgotten this song and so I am glad that you've revived it. Yes, it is a great Summertime song and this is going on my Summer playlist. I did remember the song when I crossed the bridge and went to Sausalito for the first time in the 90s. A great reaction!

Great song! When this song was new I lived in the east and didn’t appreciate the references. Now a Marin County resident and veteran of many drives ‘tween LA and SF, it’s an even more fun song to hear. Although I should warn folks that summer nights in Sausalito are rarely warm. Bring a jacket when you visit!

@jackgilchrist 8 ай бұрын

Been ages since I heard that song. It could easily be mistaken for Steve Miller and a lot of people did. The guitar players at the time the album was recorded were Rob Vunderink (also the vocalist) and Mark Boon. Both of them wrote the song. According to a quote on Wikipedia that I can't verify, Rob came up with the riff and melody (so presumably he is playing the riff on the track) and Mark came up with some chords, and wrote the lyrics. It's a cool riff and easy enough to play. It's rather similar to the riff in Jet Airliner by Steve Miller.

@PeterLangerak 6 ай бұрын

In fact, both of the guitarists play on it; Mark Boon clean (riff and 1st solopart) guitar Rob Vunderink (raw guitar and 2nt solo) Rob wrote the riff and Mark is playing it on the record. The other members have unfortunately passed away...
