- Steven's opening speech to this song is timeless. Being a patriot is about fighting for freedom, truth and justice and not towing the political line. This is why Eddie Vedder covered the song.

I heard this song for the first time on the radio and thought it had been written yesterday. It applies today perfectly. I hope there are more hearts that are united in our country than those divided. I hope we put people first and consumerism second. Hug your families and be grateful you can enjoy them. We are one big family. That is learning how to live in harmony with and amongst each other. God bless those who read this.
Today 03.02.2020 it is more importand than any other time!!!!
This could have been written yesterday. It's still relevant 30 years later.
There's only one party, and that's Freedom.
+Roger Steinbrink I was born 2 years after that speech, my country was free again in 1989. That speech is timeless.
Rock 'n' Roll can change the world; with a little help of course.
Looks like we're all going to have to work a lot harder to get this world right.
Yessiree!!!! with a little help from our friends, :)
things are even worse 4 years after you wrote this.
The intro speech moved me to tears; after all these years, the actual relevance of it is just iconic.
Was tuned to a different branch of Rock and had ever heard of this song before. A friend told me about it. I wholeheartedly agree with his opening statements. The song and the sentiments are so salient today. Timeless.
15 years ago! He was SO right
Little Steven for president
Amazing here it is 2023 and what you say is true today
I am wearing out the repeat button.
1984. How appropriate are his words even more appropriate today. In 2024..
God i can never get enough of the song or the performer.
What an all American performance.
His speech means more now than in 1984. Awesome song
true this being a true patriot is to question all the m f s out there!
Lets just remember the most important part of this whole video....when he says...
"IT IS UP TO US TO CHANGE THINGS!"
i'm a big little steven fan and i agree with what he is saying that you must question policiation all the time, and i like when he says he's not a democrat, commounist, and a republic and i'm not a republican either, and i just love this video and this song also, i also have it on dvd when sings it in concert. and i find he looks real sexy and he really looks good back then and today. and i just love the way he performs and the the way how he do his eyes just makes me laugh.and i just like lisal
I remember watching this speech, this concert live on the television as a young teenager. That night Little Steven made a huge impact on me and the way I perceived the world. Thanks for posting this!
Me too: I watched it live on television and was totally impressed and drunken with new hope ...!!! Love & peace & freedom ...!!!
Little Steven is laying it down, right is right, I understand what he is talking about, question should be asked about who, why and where, this country has people running into each other, blind folded listen to what Steven is saying thanks friend
Little Stevie is one of the true greats in the world of music.
Stevie, my big big big hero! A real patriot!
This is one of my favorite songs. Yes I agree with all he says at the beginning and all the words of the song. Yes I am a patriot The party is the party of freedom.
Very suitable for today's times. Wish Jean Beauvoir was part of the current Disciples of Soul that Steve has put together. Love his voice! Steve should have never stopped doing this....one of the best!!
I believe what Steven is saying because it is the truth ,sitting down , riding , walking or talking , because it is true. I believe it . This country is scrud up .
Little Steven is deep and wide.
Steven and his wife Maureen are true patriots of this country. This song tells it all. They are still going strong, today. Beautiful people who truly care about injustice, in America. Steven is one of the greatest artist, of our time and his wife, Maureen, the juice behind him.
What a great songwriter! This song means even more today then ever before. God Bless America and all American Patriots! 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸
Is he talking about YOU with your prayer hands and American flag? Did you listen?
Love little Steven..
I am a patriot
And I love my county
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
The people who understand me
Ive got nowhere else to go...good song!!:P
Going to see him live in Dec. and can't wait. One of the last, and still greatest, of the 'true musical patriots'! Brother Man!!!!
Silvio is telling it like it is, and he is right by everything in my book, I love Steven because he stays the same,by everybody and he,s what friends are made of . he is for real and I love him for being the real deal.thank you my friend.
Little Steven preach the truth
I wish I could have grown up in the early 60's, 70's, and 80's. Life seemed so much simpler. The music scene was definitely better and I could have potentially made a living as a talented musician...
You'd be a bitter old person like tge rest of us. We failed keep it going and look at the mess we're in.
Little Stevie 🎊 what in Gods name are you blathering about ? 🥳
Great song!!! Stevie is the best!
Pure honesty at its finest God bless.
Who would've thought that Little Steven paid such close attention to his teacher's who taught him terms like Blind Nationalism? He's amazing. I'm sure glad he's still with us in spirit.
a song for everybody....beautiful
So much love. Lilyhammer brought me here.
Never knew the origin of this song until now. Great song.
More relevant now than ever before.
this is a famous speech . I'm not into American politics but what he's saying makes sense , after all. and democracy is a value we all ought to share. Miami Steve is one of the most underrated songwriters, guitarists and frontmen on earth. His lyrics are very strong and deep too. I love his music, wish he had been more successful
"Democracy is a value we all ought to share". Bravo, Gabriele.
Little Steven mi piace molto
He is EXTREMELY successful.

I don’t know being the lead guitar player for Bruce Springsteen sounds pretty successful to me!
This guy is gold!
My whs-tape with this RockPalast concert from early 80's brole twice...I miss living in that world....my fav. concert of the entire 80's.
Rockpalast had quite a few great, wonderful artists.......why did it stop? maybe that damn darn disco got in the way....??
This needs to be released AGAIN!!
True words today!
I ain't no communist ... and I ain't no capitalist ... and I ain't no socialist ... sure ain't no imperialist ... and I ain't no Democrat ... ain't no Republican either ... I only know one party, and it is Freedom.
I am a patriot.
STEVIE!!!!!!!!!
I love you!!
Me too. Thank for your music ans comcerts
Very honest with the truth,very honest song steven.rock on brother
This, right here, is the human embodiment of a rock star. Thank you LSVZ
YES!
True that- then and now.
Featuring Dino Danelli drummer extraordinaire...
Awesome song!! and how can you not love Little Steven?
i love his dance thing too.. didnt know he was so intelligent in his political thinking...
amen, brother, AMEN...thanks for sharing!
Must be one of the best videos on the internet. 🙃
Interesting song. The lyrical content deals with the never ending questioning of governments and politicians but the music is so upbeat, a reggae driven song (a pop song for the dance floor).
Today more topical than ever.
Love, love, love this. Before he was Silvio he was a helluva songwriter. Rock on Little Steven. This guy had the balls to leave the mutherluvin E Street Band right in the middle of its heyday to follow his political ideals. Well done, Sir.
Excellent 😍
Hmmm...4 years ago I said this needed to be re-released. I still feel this is true. Make it so!!
Thank you for posting this. The album "Voice of America" came out the same time as Bruce's "Born in the USA" and this was by far my fave. Love SVZ.
Hell yeah, a very classic opening sermon. Well, he learned from the best! Asbury Park 4 lyfe God.
love him.
"I ain't no Democrat, and I sure ain't no fucking Republican"
best line in a great song.
the original he said no fucking imperialist. same same. LOL.
Or no communist
As of today the line should be "I sure ain't no fucking Democrat"
@@BangTaoBeach nah man you’re missing the whole point of the song both parties suck
right! love it!
Bellissima esibizione !! Steve!!! Canzone stupenda!!!😍😍😍😘😘🎸🎶💎♥️💋
he's still with us for real.
amazing performance
Steven described the "look" best in the lyric, "out in the desert where the gypsy pirates ride"
I remain, "Among the believers"
Thanks PattioDaddio sharing this:)
He (BTW) is damned cool in the Sopranos
Steven is saying something that I relate to because people in high places is destroying america with the greed on the people that is trying to make it and I believe that they don,t care about the low man, and if it was not for the low man, the people in high places could not make. It is a sin to be greedy and they just don,t care.
very smart guy
Jackson Browne did a great cover of this too.
Ed Vedder did it better in 92'
little steve is saying the right stuff. i am a patriot too,go silvio i love this ,i really understand deep down ,thats why i know that steve speeks the truth go silvio, thankyou/
JoshGordon, how the hell would you subscribe to Little Steven music if you don't share his beliefs, they are an integral part of all his songs and above all this one.
Steven, tell is like it is, and show your right.
i like the video and i agree with my boy little steven you really need to ask questions.
Brilliant
great! !
Interst song which offers a different slant on freedom
The first thing that came to my mind when that stage popped up on my computer screen was SRV!!!!!
"Being a patriot means quesitoning every motherfucker every time...." good defiinition...
Mr. Van Zandt, we love your work, your music, your artistry in TV and film, and your love of country. When you talk about “change”, I hope it is not about our Constitution.
Please do not come on here and threaten people.
Pat Thrall
Okay. You are right.
Fu**ing AWESOME! LOVE IT! TRUTH!
'I sure ain't no fuckin' Republican!' ...amen brother
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what's on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And we can't turn our backs this time
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family, the people who understand me
I've got nowhere else to go
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
And I was talking with my sister
She looked so fine
I said, "Baby, what's on your mind?"
She said, "I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my heart tonight"
And I ain't no communist
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't' no democrat
And I ain't no fucking republican
I only know one party
And it is freedom
I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
It don,t make any difference what they are their still not doing the right thing ,Steven 's words are the truth.
Ben you & Noah listen to I AM A PATRIOT 😮 WORDS PRIOR AND THE SONG. applies in 2024 as in 1984.
