This is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard in my life and the vocals are just amazing. When I listen to it I think I'm sitting in the park in Haight-Ashbury back in 67.

I was a 17 yo punk kid guitar rookie when i attended my first concert in the Stockton Ca.civic auditorium in 1968. When Fever Tree played the first notes of the first song I was convinced that we were having an earth quake, but it was just the band blowing my head off with the loudest music i had ever heard.. When they finished their last song I was tempted to check my pants for shit!! Ever since that day I have not put my guitar down. I am 62 and going strong.Thanks Fever tree!!

Whenever I listen to this song, I feel like I'm actually "back" to that incredible year in San Francisco and listening to it for the first time. Truly a Classic of it's genre. I've listened to it a hundred times in 56 years and it still sends shivers through my mind and body.

[@muffs55mercury61]

Never been to San Francisco until 1996 but in my native Arizona, California music was quite popular. This got some airplay, mostly after 7PM. I was only 14 and drove my parents (mom especially) nuts listening to this, Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, etc (Dad later became more accepting of it) Yes I too feel it's 1968 when listening to this.

Great tune, memories, come floating back, have not heard this in many decades. I believe it was 1967 or 68 where I played this over and over and over!!!

I lived in Houston when they started, became a big fan of theirs. When I went into the service, I was stationed for awhile in NYC and the brother of the girl I was dating while there, had their album. Needless to say I was impressed by that.

[@Smedley1947]

Keller's voices so rich and he can really hold a note. I pretty much loved the whole album and Keller's version of nowadays Clancy can't even sing apparently got the nod from Neil Young. I actually like fever trees version of that better. And I'm a big Buffalo Springfield fan. So that's saying something. I have so many nights of memories tripping till 8:00 the next day. What a Time it was to be alive.

[@maggylind7733]

No I think you are wrong - in California this song was very popular. Times just change. They got a lot of airplay but they did not have a follow up hit. At least it is still here on KZbin to listen to and enjoy. Give Dino Valenti a listen. He wrote "Get Together" by the Youngbloods and was the lead vocalist for the two Quicksilver Messenger Service songs "Fresh Air" and "Whatcha gonna do about me?" his album "Dino" is wonderful but the song "Children of the Sun" is so Freaking brilliant - they played it all the time on the FM radio in the SF Bay area when I was growing up in the 1960's. You never hear it anymore, and nobody knows who Dino Valenti is but it is a masterpiece!

Just imagine what these gaspingly, impossibly inventive bands from then would have done with the tech we have now, if they were able to pull stuff like this off with technology that was barely one step up from like the 1920s or something. They had fuzz boxes, the ability to multitrack, the ability to achieve studio effects by recording parts at a non standard tape speed then using that part at normal speed during a song, and… I think I covered everything they had then, techwise.

I’m totally digging the guitarist's killer tone, but yeah I think the producers deserve much credit with the arrangement and mix on this recording. Other than the uninspired flower power derived lyrics (hello Scott MacKenzie), this is a great song.

[@econoroller]

@@kramalerav Yes indeed they're somewhat derivative....but they're a perfect fit for that era, and after all the underlying goal was to crack that mysteriously elusive nut called "hit single" aka "massive airplay rotation on the radio" like the Rolling Stones, Doors, Beach Boys, Beatles, etc were enjoying at the time. It was an incredibly competitive and hard time for new (and established!) bands, because a creative explosion was going on and rock music was rapidly changing...and also, psychedelic bands were a dime a dozen. GOOD psychedelic bands weren't so numerous, but there was still plenty of them too. At some point any of those bands (including the ones who were already on top) had to resort to some kind of a derivative concoction or formula just to wedge their foot on the door, or in the case of top bands...to keep their position on top by giving their audience something popular they could identify with, something current, and something these bands knew would be a proverbial "bullseye" for their target listeners. Song/lyrical themes like San Francisco, beautiful free spirited hippie girls and their "San Francisco ways" were deffo on the minds of listeners of that genre, and also on the minds of many curious folks young and old who were just getting their feet wet for the first time in the psychedelic scene and it's associated music and bands. Songs like "San Francisco Girls" had a sound and lyrics that held an irresistible allure for newbies, though it probably did sound a bit hokey and contrived to the more experienced who had already immersed themselves into psychedelic music, scenes, and the lifestyle. After awhile these themes had been wrung out for ever last drop of verve they could use...eventually it ALL became commercialized, and perhaps that was one of the (many!) signs that we were hearing and seeing the beginning of the sunset of the original psychedelic music era...Peace :)

Dave, our sentiments and goals were identical at that time, would have been nice to soak up the good vibes before pollution diluted the peace and good karma. I know brave folks who hitched [948 miles] to SF in late 67' and for a while they claimed it was like one big family, then the masses moved in to view for themselves, and the scene became 'diluted'. The robust vocals and flute layering make this quality composition unique, doesn't sound 47 years young. Amazed at the originality of sounds produced the first time I heard this in June of 68' riding with my cousin, sippin' on some Jack D, really pleased my ears, especially the reverberated harmonic feedback at the finale'.

This song just jumped thru the AM radio in my car. A wavering signal (I was in Maine, listening to a radio station (WPTR) in Albany, NY. Sixties magic, pure and simple.

Absolutely Fuckinfastic of a song! First heard it in the 90s, yes the 90s (not a typo), working as a manager of a record store-couldn’t believe at the time I had not heard it before. Such a classic.

Fantastic representation of the mood in the late Sixties!!!
