Great John Phillips production. Scott was a pal of his from his old folkie days, and when it became a mega-hit some said John should have saved it for the Mamas and the Papas. But Scott's vocal is perfect.
Always wandered my self why John give this song away............
I think the Mamas and Papas would have made a great version as well

Five years? More like less than two, if that. By late '68 Flower Power was yesterday's news.
You know what's interesting about that San Francisco record is the last verse:
He throws in a minor chord which gives it a different feel than the first verses.
Right. No disagreement about that.
But I was referring to Robert Plant singing those lines with Led Zep in '73...so actually I should have said six!
I think it was during "Dazed and Confused" just before the violin bow solo by Page.
Yes....things got a bit darker, less optimistic by '68..
"Does anybody remember laughter"?

Another quote from The Song Remains The Same film, this time a Plant ad-lib during "Stairway."
A few times in '77 he went "Does anybody remember forests?"

San Francisco along with All You Need Is Love and A Whiter Shade Of Pale were the anthems to the summer of love 1967. RIP Scott.

Love the song. Great John Phillips production. Scott was a pal of his from his old folkie days, and when it became a mega-hit some said John should have saved it for the Mamas and the Papas. But Scott's vocal is perfect.
Remember when Robert Plant sang a few lines of "San Francisco" in The Song Remains The Same film? Five years after it was a hit, flower power was already a distant memory.

Five years in the sixties is as much as 20 years in 80's, 90's and 00's

Five years? More like less than two, if that. By late '68 Flower Power was yesterday's news.

He throws in a minor chord which gives it a different feel than the first verses.

I wouldn`t argue, but it depends a bit on how far from the scene you lived. My personal experience coincides with the liner notes from the "Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine" 2LP: "as if we remember it from another world and another lifetime", "1972 will be another year, and the distance will be greater, and there will be other things to think about". - But of course, at least by fall 1970, Scott mc. Kenzie`s song was old school...

Rest in peace most certainly....
He is basically known for his one hit, along with being in the late road show Mamas and Papas and being a co-writer (with Phillips and others) on the Beach Boys' "Kokomo". Anyway, there was always something very melancholy about "San Francisco", almost as if the creators could see it as the elusive, ephemeral moment in time it was.

There's 2 minor chords in that last verse, Am & Bm, really does give it a different feel
