Oh, and though this is more a commercial jingo, "Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat".

Definitely a "hippie " band, but a good one!

Seconding that nomination a second time.

Although the Animals probably hadn't spent much time in SF, or they'd have known that warm SF nights are quite uncommon (or perhaps they were just claiming a bit of poetic license).

But it's a remarkable song, for the way it conveys the strange mix of beauty and decay that was/is SF.

Eric Burdon played Sausalito Arts Festival a few years back - still got it.

Hauntingly Beautiful:

I wasn't born there
perhaps I'll die there
No place left to go
San Francisco

San Franciscan Nights

I saw Burdon play years ago - with Jimmy Witherspoon in London ... then years later, in that mythically warm City by the Bay.
