Great song by my favorite band REO speedwagon. First seen them in 1974. Have proberly seen them 35 times since. Never get tired of their music. Love REO speedwagon
and people STILL come to see them and still love their music regardless. the new album is wonderful. it's called "Find Your Own Way Home". Good stuff REO!
One of the greatest entertainers ever lived I remember seeing REO Speedwagon in 1977 Summer jam those were some great years. And just think look at the era that we're living in now all the corruption chaos fentanyl math heroin crack cocaine so sad to see people walking around like zombies but you know people like me we still have good memories and they will live forever
Great rare video. Filmed at Disneyland December 1997 after the release of the album Building The Bridge. They played this song at Bill Clinton’s second inaugural ball after Bill adopted it as his 2nd term campaign song. There is some footage of that performance but it’s not found it’s way to RUclips yet.
Mark Dunn it was posted some years ago by RUclips user greatonyak and from what I can gather it was broadcast by Comcast presumably for a tv or a promo at the time. That’s all I know. Hope that helps. Just realised I’d put 1997 originally but it was 1994 which I’ve now corrected. Also try RUclips user Ned Rocks, he has more REO resources on RUclips than anyone. He may be able to help.
Lee H pretty sure it’s not 1994. The album came out July 1996 and Kevin didn’t cut his hair till right around that time. The album artwork Kevin still has long hair.
Lyrics- Father to son husband to wife brother to brother black man to white living together falling apart looking for the common ground in every human heart it all comes down to the two of us yeah this is where we start we are building the bridge one small stone at a time with a lot of love and some help from above from your heart to mine there's a land of justice cities filled with pride a mountain of hope just on the other side across a river of indifference and a valley of despair there's a tower of courage piercing through the air I have a dream for our children I want to take them there and we are building the bridge one small stone at a time with a lot of love and some help from above from your heart to mine as we seek out understanding as we learn to forgive when we open up our minds when our words are true and kind we are building the bridge o yes we are when we open up our minds when our words are true and kind we are building the bridge ya

Perfection, exactly like in the album, now that's quality musicians right there! Love this song!
This song has a great message it tells us to get along with each other regardless of race or religion. We are all Americans!
seen them live back in 96 when this song first came out also got to visit with them on the bus it was the best time in my life

Do you know the person that posted this video? REO's management is looking to get a clean copy. Any help would be appreciated.
