Net niet van mijn stoel gevallen... Da's één van de beste gitaarintro's die ik al gehoord heb (en ik ben 63 jaar). Een dikke proficiat, jongens, een bovennatuurlijk nummer!
I'm 54 today and the reenactment of this song is on my bucket list. Buying a beater car and driving from Mississippi to Arcata CA. I WILL probably really dump it in the Bay and hitchhike the rest...arriving at Bayside! Thanks for this great song!
Thank you for this history lesson!! Loved this song in my early days in Canada in the ‘80s!! Now I know the roots of this song … Amazing!! Still has a great vibe in 2024…
The guys where just talking about how they created that specially piece of music ,early 80s. About there success in America and there lack of success with that same number in their homeland, the netherlands 🇳🇱
Een geweldig liedje. We speelden het toen we in de jaren 80 op onze onderzeeër onderweg waren ... het maakte deel uit van onze reguliere soundtrack toen we op zee waren.
When he mentioned Steve Miller I remember when I heard this song for the first time that’s exactly who I thought it was singing it! It definitely has that Steve Miller flavor to it.
Elk jaar stemde ik op deze plaat voor de top 2000. Zo leuk dat ik al de plaatsen waar nummers over waren, inmiddels heb bezocht. In Sausolito is "Sitting on a dock of the Bay" geschreven (zoals de trouwe top 2000 fans wel weten)
Wij waren in september in San Francisco en toen op de fiets the Golden Gate over naar Sausolito en daar aan the Bay a burger and a rootbeer gehad. Topnummer!!!!
Reminds me of first friends Lydia & Rob❤ in the early upcomming days of Silicon Valley, having sort of a rambler, and a tiny house in Sausalito! must have been 8 and hearing it on my moms kitchen radio for the first time!!!!🎉 ALWAYS gives Great Vibe!
Hahaha, ik had echt géén idee dat ze Nederlands waren. Cool! En een van de weinige plekken in de VS waar ik ben geweest is Sausalito, want mijn oom en tante wonen er.
I've seen these guys early eighties open air concert in Oosterbeek of all places. I wonder if they remember doing that show in broad daylight, we were sitting on the grass enjoying the music because it was a great band.
Such a silly song. I do remember it though. Thumbs up because I could understand a good bit of the Dutch. My grandmother was German and only spoke German in the house. Thankfully there are similarities.
@@harovangalen5641 , it's understandable to me, a lifelong Californian. It really sounds like someone trying to sound Californian and not quite getting it right. Almost like the Beach Boys trying to play an Eagles song, it's off-kilter
These guys were incredibly bright musically, when the SONG drove the market. Not the so-called "personality" which nobody older than 13 could care less about.
I'd love to know why they de-tuned the song. It's not 440Hz - the official video is tuned to 453Hz. Makes it difficult to play along with on my perfectly-tuned keyboard. Maybe to discourage copycats.
Zo hee, nooit geweten dat dit een nederlandse band was, maar we hebben dan ook wel meer talent dat het wereldwijd gemaakt heeft op gebied van muziek en film.
Its not that special,one thing they say is that they tell about that in their own country ( The Netherlands ) this reach place 33 while it was in USA in many states number one except California.
Man, I loved this song when it came out. The solo was a bit weird tho. I heard him say "Steve Miller", which is exactly who I thought it was for the 1st week before the radio hinted that it was Diesel. Who know they couldn't speak a lick of English
The producer Pim Koopman explained why the guitar solo was weird. The guitarist played the solo and added something he didn't like, so in order to stop the producer from recording he played the whining ta da da ta dada. But the producer liked it and left it in.
If there was ever an episode that needed subtitles and this one didn't have any. They talk too fast and I can't understand a word they're saying! And I think they're speaking English! 😂
Voordeel van tegenwoordige "muziek" is dat de zogenaamde artiesten nauwelijks een noot hoeven te kunnen lezen. Die zielloze shit met de eeuwige beat erin, kan een kleuter ook in elkaar zetten. Enkele uitzonderingen daar gelaten. De jaren 60 en 70 zullen never nooit geevenaard worden qua muziek!
...me no sprechen Deutsche, or however it's spelled....anyways, one of the greatest tunes from the 80's.....still wonder why there wasn't a vid of this on MTV....i was an MTV junkie in the day and i would have remembered it if i had seen it....

Blijft na al die jaren nog steeds een te gek nummer!!
I play this song every time I go to San Francisco for the kids. It drives them insane! I love it!
Still and Amazing and catchy song on the radio....thank you very much Diesel!
That jam is just too pure. Love it.
altijd mooi om pim weer even te zien! Wordt gemist. De oude kayak samenstelling soms ook. Cindy, edward, etc.
I didn't understand a word he said. Glad music is universal.
As of yesterday, you can now enjoy the video with English subtitles!
They did say "Steve Miller" ;)
@@gchance they created a sound just like Steve Miller did those days

Vocals zijn ook perfect ,een voorbeeld voor velen👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Zo mooi om te zien dat bijna niemand dit kan verstaan
Such a catchy vibe! Great song!
Best road trip song ever, hands down!❤
Still and always be ONE of my favorites !!

Wat een lekker nummer is het toch,heb het singeltje nog steeds.
I have always loved this song ❤️

Deze moet zeker dit jaar in de top 2000 staan
sterk nummer,heel sterk
Ik ga hem dit jaar zeker erin stemmen!!!
Had no idea! Dutch.. awesome
"Ict floofle ghzert gon flchen" *plays one of the greatest riffs ever created* "Shhhoooo chattk schuist hopa flank"
lol dude that's pretty understandable Dutch right there.

As an AMERICAN this was the COOLEST shit and it was AMERICAN no one ever thought that it was Dutchies!! XD

One of my favorite songs of all time.
Damn! And I really love this song but didn't understand them. One of my favorite songs from that Summer of 1981.
As of yesterday, you can now enjoy the video with English subtitles!
Fantastic Riff !! I remember when this came out !!
Great song !
Pim Koopman maakte de meest fantastsche producties: ook Gaia van Valensia en begin jaren tachtig Maywood blijft geweldig
Mag ik je bedanken voor het benoemen van Gaia? Ik had er nog nooit van gehoord en het heeft me diep geraakt hoe mooi dit nummer is.
Was die niet de drummer van Kayak ?
@@RemiPut Zeker!
@@longbow857 is ook een top2000agogo video van op YT
@@drewbase Ja die heb ik gezien :)
It's funny that although I loved this song I never could find anyone else who knew it.
Still a great tune 40 plus years later.
Geweldige kerel. Er is een prachtig lied van hem over het niet weggeven van zijn zoons aan de oorlogszuchtige overheid.
Such a great song!
Remember it well-great song
All aboard! "I'll have a burger & a root beer." I think they have a Sausalito accent. Hey Steve Miller, "Somebody give me a cheeseburger." Good times!
Man, I'd love to find one of those old tour t-shirts for my brother!
sub titles would be nice. At second thought it wouldn't matter. This song still made me visit Sausalito just to say it did. Beautiful.

It's funny that they created such a quintessentially "American" song. In my personal top 10 of all time.
Maybe add English subtitles?

Deze vinyl-LP heb ik nog steeds in de kast staan.
Nummer 1 hit in Canada ook.
Nobody talks about it but the guitar solo is fucking insane!
Doorzeik melodiën :D
Rab seems such a jolly chap
That was a great trip.
Jammer dat ze niet vertellen hoe ze op de tekst gekomen zijn, die vind ik namelijk ook sterk.
Rob Vunderink doet me echt denken aan Kees Momma.
Geweldig!!
Tof hè!
Topsong made in Holland🤟
Briljant loopje
Playing guitar for 52 yrs I loved playing this song at our shows back in the day
Gaaf nummer, mooi verhaal.
Maar wat doet IT daar op de tafel ?
Schande dat dit nummer er niet meer instaat!!!
Hoezo schande! Hij stond er in 2021 gewoon in de top 2000
R.I.P
If I understood him correctly, the song was a big hit across the US.... except in California.
Yep, that is correct.

Eerste keer dat ik het hoorde dacht ik dat het steve miller was. lol
I had heard that the singer sang the words phonetically. Wonder if that's true.
I d im not understand either not a lick. Subtitles would have helped!

You're in luck, we now have English subtitles in TH-cam for this video. They were speaking Dutch!
@@Top2000agogo I'll re-watch it!
I picked up bits of English and some words that sounded like German to me.
Dutch and German have the same roots and splits more then 1000 years in history

Voordeel van tegenwoordige "muziek" is dat de zogenaamde artiesten nauwelijks een noot hoeven te kunnen lezen. Die zielloze shit met de eeuwige beat erin, kan een kleuter ook in elkaar zetten. Enkele uitzonderingen daar gelaten. De jaren 60 en 70 zullen never nooit geevenaard worden qua muziek!
