I am genuinely delighted to discover this specific recording. I am a Brit living in the UK but was SF resident 1991-2001. I remember this show really well at Ferry Plaza. A month or so earlier I'd been driving back on 280 from work in Redwood City one evening listening to KKSF or perhaps the station out of San Jose when I caught a live session by the Mermen, and I just thought they were stunning. I heard they were playing at the waterfront and I really wanted to see them 'in the flesh'. The show was absolutely bloody fantastic and I play my Mermen records now when I need to conjure up California sunshine and memories of that long, beautiful Ocean Beach leading up to the Musee Mechanique and the Camera Obscura.
@ktwheels44 You're the first because I just uploaded it. I'm just now getting around to putting up my old live band videos I shot in the 90's. I do remember making a tape for the band. Glad you enjoy it. This was probably the best video I ever shot, with the great weather, beautiful setting and of course the great Mermen!
thank you soooo much for capturing a wonderful musician in his element...i live over in west Kentucky...a LOOONG way away... but I've luved this music for sooo long❤ before RUclips i would have NO WAY of seeing preformances like this. thx again
Discovered them through Road Rash 3D in 2002, you uploaded in 2012 and just in 2023 I discovered this video .. lol... Their sound are always in my head since heard them from a videogame soundtrack, since where I live doesn't have many bands of this genre, it's a great pleasure to see how they performed live ! A Million Thanks for sharing !!! 🎸🖤
How is it possible that I am the very first viewer? I've seen this tape-it is one of the tapes in Allen's closet archive. I love the shot when the sailboat glides by... very nice.

3:05 Never would I have guessed that part was just one guitar playing with fingers across six frets! :0
Best guitar surf song ever.

Look at that hair..... wow...
That is a 90's mop if there ever was one!
I saw you guys right at this time...Some World Cup soccer thing...some dude from "Melrose Place" was there.
Lol that's one of my favorites too 😹
I Love the guys.👍
erm, that guys seems to reaching across six frets!!
Elw ... I noticed the frett spread also.
And he does it so easily too! ;-)
Is it sacrilegious to see Jim with hair?
Krang 😂
I'm trying to find this Strat... can someone tell me what model it is?
When did Jim shave his head? I played with them shortly after this..never knew he had hair!
when he went bald :)
@@sirvidia He's got hair again in 2022!
What kind of strat is he playing?
