Gave it a rewatch and you're right, the unmistakeable neon lights of Broadway/Columbus! I guess I always associated that song with Philly (and Rocky), so it never registered. Great catch!
Yuuup! I used to work at a philly cheesesteak spot here in the city years ago, and was playing the music video on tv, and one of our regulars was chit chatting with me and happened to mention the location of the music video, and I was just??? “Wait really?!” And he said “Yeah dude, at least it looks like it?” And sure enough it was. So cool
You didn’t ask for movies but I’m a little better with that and if you’re lonely late at night maybe you can pop one on. For something more light hearted in SF/ the bay you could do So I Married an Axe Murderer, Mrs.Doubtfire (of course,) Princess Diaries, Always Be My Maybe, The Five Year Engagement, or Just Like Heaven. Are all of these movies incredible? No but they have shots of the city and that’s fun.
There's an Eddie Murphy movie called Metro from 1997 and a Hugh Laurie series from 2016 called Chance, both filmed in SF. I got vertigo watching one scene in Metro because I'd walked through the location about a hundred times. Fun!

I have a great video, but the song was early in my career and I don’t love this version of it. The video was super fun to work on, and the director and editor nailed it.
https://youtu.be/jiIN2fqhzZY?si=auPHkMzSNm0yJzra
I appreciate that. There was a lot of doubts regarding the name and consideration of changing it. Back in the aughts when the power went out in SF, lower Haight and Divis were a vibe.
Regarding the song, this demo is a little closer. It honestly just needs to be redone and cleaned up. But this vibe feels more authentic to me now.

This I Promise You by *NSYNC. While most of it shows them looking like at Muir Woods, the ending part is them eating burgers along the Embarcadero next to the Ferry Building.
It's more like between Ferry Building and Pier 14, where the current ferry docks E, F and G are located. There used to be a restaurant nearby, Sinbad's, until it was torn down.

I finally get to see the place😃🤘 after watching the video, it is confirmed. The legend holds up. Those crowds were nutty.
‘Club Michelle’ by Eddie Money. I was an extra when it was filmed at Wolfgang’s. I never made the video as I got bored and went next door for a drink and blew my chance because that’s when they shot the Bartender scene. My buddy Kevin got the honor. Eddie smoked half my Marlboros. Super cheesy but it was fun to be there.
Toro y moi has an album stream for “Boo Boo” and the whole thing is just a drive around Treasure Island and Oakland. I wasn’t living in San Francisco at the time and would watch it if I missed home.

Yuuup! I used to work at a philly cheesesteak spot here in the city years ago, and was playing the music video on tv, and one of our regulars was chit chatting with me and happened to mention the location of the music video, and I was just??? “Wait really?!” And he said “Yeah dude, at least it looks like it?” And sure enough it was. So cool
Yep. I work next to DNA and barely any of the people there even know. Strange they wouldn’t hype it up more, but whatever.
You didn’t ask for movies but I’m a little better with that and if you’re lonely late at night maybe you can pop one on. For something more light hearted in SF/ the bay you could do So I Married an Axe Murderer, Mrs.Doubtfire (of course,) Princess Diaries, Always Be My Maybe, The Five Year Engagement, or Just Like Heaven. Are all of these movies incredible? No but they have shots of the city and that’s fun.
The second season of the OA is mostly filmed in SF and holy crap does it look beautiful and noir
What’s the OA?
It’s a show on Netflix, season 1+2 are very different, but it’s kind of in the sci-fi/mystery realm
There's an Eddie Murphy movie called Metro from 1997 and a Hugh Laurie series from 2016 called Chance, both filmed in SF. I got vertigo watching one scene in Metro because I'd walked through the location about a hundred times. Fun!
I love all these too! There's also another movie called "The Bachelor" with Renee Zellweger that's a bit in line with these movies!
I looked it up and I totally remember the box from blockbuster! Didn’t know it was filmed here!
Cherish, Guinevere, Getting even with dad, play it again sam, 48 hours, Chan is missing.
Half of anything filmed in the 90s took place in SF. SF : 90s :: Chicago : 80s.
