I was 18 Years Old when this song came out on the Radio. Miss those days.

[@anthonygambitta6220]

The good old times, high school days and Disco. Victor Willis has a great voice, great songs.

[@annaritaranalli1791]

But bad times about politics

[@michaelrudolf5959]

Was at this show - remember it as if it was yesterday. Growing up in San Fran made me proud as I wore my chaps with pride!

[@Leatherbro]

I remember hearing this song in the nightclubs in New York City in 1977. Great song then and still to date!!!

[@jeromelange7401]

Back when Nightclubs were EPIC Dancin' Floors to have massive entertainment & fun ALL NIGHT LONG !!!

[@Leatherbro]

@@jeromelange7401 Most definitely. You came to the club to dance, not to sit and stare.

[@Truckergunners]

You aint alone, i was there to in NYC in 1977 defo knew these guys were gonna go places

[@Leatherbro]

@@Truckergunners Good for you.

[@javiernavarro8408]

We need this theme in the Super Bowl 🎉

[@aniac.3921]

This is a real gem!!! Let it not disappear from KZbin!!! More Village People please!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@mrpsarchives]

You're welcome! Thought that was a great performance too. That's all I have from them unfortunately, but at least the whole performance is there. It was part of a New Year's Eve TV show, only that one Village People song was broadcast. If you're a fan you can watch another rare performance on the French TV archives official site though. www.ina.fr/video/CPB79056352/collaro-show-presentation-emission-du-24-novembre-1979-video.html

@@mrpsarchives "San Francisco" is one of the songs performed by VP at "Le Palace". Two months ago I saw 30 minutes of this concert but it was removed from youtube. Thank you for the link to the French TV archives. I'm a big fan of Village People and I'm looking for rare videos.

[@mrpsarchives]

@@aniac.3921 Alright! I'll let you know if I find anything else. Also if you like some vids grab them as soon as possible cause you never know what might disappear. I get copyright claims for songs that were uploaded quite some time ago and sometimes they just get blocked. Have you seen the TopPop channel already btw? They have a bunch of VP performances. kzbin.info/door/xjzlr0hdKWfIwK2lY0SvEg

[@aniac.3921]

@@mrpsarchives Si je peux, je prefere t'ecrire en francais (je le sais mieux que l'anglais). Oui, je connais la chaine TopPop. J'ai deja mis toutes les chansons de Village People provenant de cette chaine sur ma playlist de youtube (la, pour le moment). Si tu as quelque chose sur VP de la television francaise, fais-moi savoir, s'il te plait. Je te serai tres, tres, tres reconnaissante. Merci beaucoup.

[@mrpsarchives]

@@aniac.3921 Pas de problème! Sinon il me semble qu'on peut demander à l'INA pour qu'ils mettent certaines émissions en ligne. Il doit y avoir un formulaire de contact.

This is all good! The Village People and San Francisco. I was in the Navy stationed in Naval Air Station Alameda California. And I was on a WestPac 78/79 deployment with a R&R port visit to Auckland New Zealand. When I first heard this awesome song at a Disco Night Club, we all got up to dance when the DJ played San Francisco. I love this song even more now that I'm in my mid sixties. Brings back all the good memories from the 1970's.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

you should have heard the song at Oil Can Harry's, the I-Beam, Buzzby's, the N'Touch, the End Up, the Trocadero Transfer...

[@kcd9900]

Victor's voice amazing as always

[@DINOBRAV69]

I thought this was their best song.

[@sukie584]

Me too.

[@tarikdebarge]

In The Navy!

[@michaelrudolf5959]

San Francisco enjoying posted vids yet again - such a feel good song - we need more pride in who and what we are ''human beings''!

[@kikomon8652]

Everyone knows Y.M.C.A, but this song is a gem and underplayed IMO

[@johnmifsud2698]

The whole song is great and the choreography brilliant. I missed them in concert due to pathetic studying at university.

[@SergioRamirez-mh9me]

First time I heard it was on the way to Broadway Power and light, on Polk street of all places

[@KnowingGodExplorers]

My Gosh, were they truly having fun or what..you just will never hear a group like the village People ever again. We need to cherish every video or mp3 we have. Its A TRAGIC SHAME THEY AREN'T IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME..WE NEED TO FIX THIS WRONG..WHAT SAY YOU?

David Hodo: pure joy ❤️

[@Truckergunners]

Victor Willis always singing live

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

Victor hit a couple of bad notes here but the spirit still comes through

[@annaritaranalli1791]

At.least that wasn't playback

[@googo151]

Victor always over sang and never drank water on stage. Just pushed his voice till he had nothing left.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

well, if you've read some of the articles written about him it appears he also had a 'habit' that may have affected his voice.@@googo151

[@googo151]

Always wish they'd done I'm a Cruiser live.

[@mrgreenbean88]

same, top 3 vp song for me

[@BringItMAGA]

Party y'all

[@robertkincaid7088]

Love me some construction worker..David hodo🎉

[@michaellau7093]

Can you upload Village People on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, plc

[@mrpsarchives]

I don't have that one unfortunately, but the whole show at the Palace has just been uploaded.

[@annaritaranalli1791]

What darkened theatre

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

Once they were playing a live show and so many guys in the audience we're doing poppers they had to stop the show and ask,the guys to,stop.

[@rockndisco3874]

Can you share the whole clip

[@mrpsarchives]

That's all I have for now. That was part of a New Year's Eve TV show with lots of other artists, they only showed that one track. The whole VP live show was recorded apparently though, so maybe it wll surface later. I'll let you know if I ever get it in the meantime.

[@rockndisco3874]

@@mrpsarchives thanks

[@mrpsarchives]

@@rockndisco3874 No problem! Btw someone mentioned that the show was online once but got taken off.

[@mrpsarchives]

The whole show has just been uploaded.

[@rockndisco3874]

@@mrpsarchives Thanks

[@RobertMatteis-pe7vh]

Wow, this brings me back anyway Victor Willis supposedly had a very hot wife. Remember they were not all gay. Definitely not Victor Willis is very straight.. well most of the music nowadays would be considered disco Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue, Lizzo, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Clean Bandit this is disco just a different name now it’s called techno dance

[@lucasmujica3368]

Estos seguro tenian los novios en san fransisco,

[@annaritaranalli1791]

Powerful singing voice but the others sang in playback to me

[@lupecampos3254]

Poor Victor sounds like he has a cold or his voice is hoarse from performing too much.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

or his voice may have been hoarse from doing what he was arrested in Reno for doing

[@annaritaranalli1791]

But at least that wasn't playback,i repeat

[@googo151]

Victor always over sang with his heart and never drank a sip of water on stage. He said he hated the look of water on stage. He sure could have used it. Still one of the greats and the best they have ever had.

[@lucasmujica3368]

El de las plumitas es re gay, se tegan la bala a full

[@annaritaranalli1791]

Only their bad song is sex over the 📵

[@googo151]

I don't know why? I love that song. Ray Stevens was also a bad a$$ singer.

[@annaritaranalli1791]

I respect your opinion
