interesting I can see them using this in a movie. very nice. Infinity just came out and was spinning my first time hahaha. There is a site called Song Facts I lifted this from there.

Even though this is about San Francisco, it was written in Los Angeles, where the band had relocated. Steve Perry explained in an interview with Joe Benson of Arrow 93.1 FM: "I had the song written in Los Angeles almost completely except for the bridge and it was written about Los Angeles. It was 'when the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on LA.' I didn't like the way it sounded at the time. And so I just had it sitting back in the corner. Then life changed my plans once again, and I was now facing joining Journey. I love San Francisco, the bay and the whole thing. 'The bay' fit so nice, 'When the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on the bay.' It was one of those early morning going across the bridge things when the sun was coming up and the lights were going down. It was perfect."

Wow.  That's some tasty playing Scotty and some beautiful clean tones.  Nice change of pace tune too.  You nailed the Steve Perry vocal lines through the CBG - awesome!
