This is one of my absolute favorite songs. Detroit will come back one day. We are all people, and us people all want great city to live in.
I'm now 72 years old but remember these times like it was yesterday! "It was the best of times & the worst of times"! Love the song, lyrics & all.
What a great video homage to Detroit, my dad grew up in windsor and my grandfather worked for chrysler for over 35 years. He remembers the glory days of detroit! Sadly with todays quickly changing auto industry I don't think those days will ever return to detroit. Great song!
a guy and 4 friends, on stage, just ROCKIN!!!! no stage show....just plain rockin'....the Filmore was an awesome venue to see him for the 1st time. can't wait for the 2nd!!!!
Amazing groove to this song. I just saw Sam at 3 of his 4 shows in Toronto, he's always been incredible - but this tour is just amazing!!
The crowd at all the shows, even the balconies were on their feet and rockin' right from start.
Best Show Ever!
a toronto/detroit native, i've never been more pleased with these guys than after watching this. sammy and the boys are just pure class...
I live across the river from Detroit (in Canada) and yes it's down right now, as is our city, but I believe that one day they will rise again....it will take time but they will. I have visited Detroit many times and never ran into any problems. This is a great song and video.
Thanks Sam you did a great job on this song. It will always be one of my all time favorites.. genuineness in my opinion.
Best Sam Roberts Band video yet. Great energy, great imagery, great song.
I grew up in Detroit, very young when the riots were happening, My memories are bitter sweet but mostly happy ones . A lot of good memories too ,can't explain it would take to long.I hold on to those good memories and respect those that do to. Peace to everyone. My old home town.. still love it and always will..
The only thing better than this song, is the video. Perfect. This is going to be playing in my head for a long time.
Great song, great city! I got to help build the North Cass Community Garden today ... I love seeing farms, gardens and green space all over the city.
Thanks for the share! Oh yeah, bottoms up! I love this song! I would be on the piano dancing, seriously! Your right, this guy is great! I'll have to check out more of his music.
good tune, great city, much love to all Detroiters!
Free concerts on the riverfront Saturday Night Baby!
As a MI resident, and Detroit citizen, THIS SONG IS AMAZING! There is absolutely nothing stopping the city of Detroit from returning to greatness other than mis-informed citizens! There are people that want to make Detroit as amazing as it was...so vote for the right people and help it happen! Vote for the people that will best represent the city residents! Kwame was popular, but please, learn from your mistakes, and vote for people with GOOD intentions!!!
very good documentary.....LOVE THIS SONG!!! to the point....Thanks Sam!!
Dude, I don't know if it's because I'm from Detroit or that the song and video is awesome - but I can't get over this. I love it.
Detroit has so much to offer that most think. There is a culture and the people who live there aren't going to give up.
Oh, and I just about love anything Sam Roberts puts out there
Greetings from Detroit. Thank You!~
One of the most well made music videos I've seen in months. The art direction and the video's correlation with the music itself is just plain cool.
Great Vid! I was born in Windsor. I have a vague memory of going to the waterfront to watch the smoke rising from burning buildings across the river during the riot as a little kid. Video captures the feel and look of Detroit really well
Looks like the comment I posted didn't make it to the board... Oh well! I was saying how much I love this song since I live in the Detroit area and Sam Roberts is my all-time favorite musician. It's so very dear to my heart and I'm ecstatic to see they made it into a video. If they didn't I was hoping someone would!
Cloudburst,
So true. I grew up new Windsor, downriver from motown. We used to go to Detroit for the concerts but that's about it.
Amazing contrasts - today I live in Vancouver where the average cost to own a home is still about $600,000 (down from $750,000 at the height of the real estate bubble here). Today you can own a similar home for about 10% of that in Detroit, or even less! But the neighbourhood sucks. Too bad they can't clean things up.
Sam Roberts!!! always great happy rock, i Love it... especially in the summer!!!
I DIG THE GLASSES.
They all look fabulous.
i love living in detroit. i really do. and i love this song and video.
Hats off to you Sam, nailed it. Thanx,
Marc
I cannot wait to move back to Detroit in a few weeks. Very excited to start my teaching job in the city. Next, finding a good house under $5000. Should not be a problem.
This vid should have like 5 million views
Sam roberts....gr8 tribute to a great city....Really the city is not as bad as everyone trys to make it seem.
Great song!..should have a couple of million veiws already
Love Detroit - love this song!
ACE! song, video, sam and the band, AMAZING!
thats what is great about it, it is super simple its meant to be a song that people just start to play and everyone joins in
Just saw him at St. Andrews the other night. The place went nuts when he played this.
Yet another music video classic, great job!!!!
this is a great music video. detroit is the best!! i like the song a lot as well
Great song, and PHENOMENAL video!
i just got introduced tot he band and they are truly amazing! keepin rocknroll alive lol.
i'm gonna seem the in Detroit in feb.
Great video and song! Anyone from the area can appreciate this.
Song rocks. Sure giving me a cool feeling right now.
Chicago 1951...I was in Ann Arbor at the time '57, then to the Haight, then unfortunately to New York and the Westside of Chicago.
omg this song is simply AWESOME!!! i mean....WOW WOW WOW!!!
What a fitting song for the times America is going through now.
Thank you!
Yeah, I remember those times. I remember seeing it on the news. I remember seeing the tanks roll down the freeway that ran through my backyard 20 miles from Detroit. I remember being afraid the riots were going to escalate like wildfire and spread to town after town, overnight. I remember moving to Detroit two weeks after the riots. I should have had my head examined!
it IS a great song and video!
I can't wait til the end of February. Sammy's gonna play at St. Andrews, and unless I'm mistaken, this should be his first show in Detroit since releasing this song. I am so not missing it!
GREAT post ! SO true.....
Another super video!!!!! LOVE IT!!!
man, that was sweet. a straight shot unbiased view of Detroit.
what a great song. ive been waiting for the official music video to get released. they did a good job.
sad thing is, they were able to walk through detroit with that 60's look goin on because detroit hasnt changed much since then.
Well, got to this video via a link on an O'Regan's Pub in Montreal group so must be. Was just there last weekend, looks like it!
i believe he was in METRO-detroit in the fall. 96.3 hosted the event i believe. this song was getting airplay in the late summer. however, the video just got released.
i too would like to go to this concert just for this song and to see how the people of detroit will appreciate it!
Fabulous song and video! Thanks for the share, Chuck.... this is awesome!!
i luv this song
luckily, we have a chance to elect some serious new leadership very soon! i for one am glad to see mr. ken cockrel take back the presidency of the city council, and I'm thrilled that the charter commission has been wholeheartedly endorsed to make changes to how we work. city council elected by districts, anyone?
Randomly got linked here, this is amazing!
Detroit!!!! get well soon!!!!
Is the bar in the video Ac Lindells near Old Tiger Stadium as it looks famillar. I went there when I lived in Windsor. What a great video!!
I love my city.
Detroit is an interesting place and even given the turmoil and aftermath of the riots there are still some beautiful homes and riverfront and much more that are not a focus of this video. The video is still great because it tells a story. I just wish people knew. Anyway great song!
great vintage footage
unreal, can't wait till they grace the UNB Fredericton Campus alongside Matt Mays and El Torpedo. I've been waiting for those two bands to come together again since PEI FOL a few years back. It'll be epic
On the other hand, Windsor, Ontario is one of the best cities on the planet! RIP Zellers.....
love it!!!!!
Great video!!!!
when I first heard this song I thought it was Harry Nilsson. it's amazing how much the song and Sam's voice sound like Nilsson Schmilsson!!
My Dad grew up in Detroit, my Mom is Hamtramck. I grew up in Metro Detroit, but Detroit has been part of my life since I was born. It gets a bad name in the media, but I've been to other big cities and they are no better. If you grew up in Detroit or the Metro Detroit area, you would know what people mean when they say they wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
I just noticed how this song's melody is very similar to an early Motown song. Listen to "The Way You Do the Things You Do" as performed by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and you will see what I mean.
Love how the video starts with Jerome Cavanagh and ends with the 12th Street Riots.
it's in there, yeah
awesomness
Sam Roberts is my idol! :D
yeah Canada rocks, coming from the detroit'er in cayman.....I love the Gordy Howe goal against the blackhawks, 3:29...nice video Sam, ,ha ha ha....
@KeepRockin55 so true, so sad,but i love detroit
really good group and nice haircut the one that sam has.
i get that same feeling
Detroit1967 gives this a ***** rating.
"Don't forget the Motor City... viva Detroit."
Good song, too.
67 the year i was born during the riots. august 1967-harper hospital
I was at the Funk Fest last night and it was almost entirely white poeple jammin out to some funky bass lines in the middle of the ghetto
people who talk shit about Detroit have never been here... it's your own ignoranced not to think every big city has bad parts... If you come to Detroit and don't have a good time, that's your own fault... I love the D!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no city more Real than Detroit. We've had our ups, we're taking the downs, but make no mistake, Detroit is coming back with a vengeance!
It still is Motown!
awesome vid
their best video next to bridge to nowhere ...just plain cool
There's a lot of great history in Detroit. It's a shame what has happened to it.
Wait wait wait, I gave you that thumbs up BEFORE I read "Labatt" cheer... No way man, MGD!!!
He's such a cutie! And his music is Legit.
one of the few intelligent songs of our time. did this roberts author the song?
sick video
I Hart Detroit
Sam's from MONTREAL yeah yeah
A "metro Detroiter"? That implies you don't live in the city itself. (If my inference is incorrect, I apologize.) I do. And I love this video. Yes, Detroit has ruins a plenty, but so what? We rock, and we groove, and we're proud of our past, present and future--and this song gets it.
tony0000 - you're not wrong, but your not right either. Detroit proper includes Rosedale Park on the West Side, Indian Village, Palmer Park, etc.. it's so carved up theres no Eastpoint (or was thar East Detroit?) The point being that for whatever reason, instead of property values being sky high like every other City, Detroit's population decreased and soon, places outside the City became more popular. Now if you want to live within the City limits, there isn't many places zoned for residential. It's all industrial like it always really was whennyou place your factories right smack downtown. There are plenty of places to live inside Detroit proper, but save for the half-demolished old 80's crack houses, they are so far away from the City you might as well be in an edge-city, which is hip speaknfor what your point is, but these edge cities are regentrifying at a faster pace because no one can afford to live in the City skirts for the car insurance rates ($400 a month for pl/pd). Refrain from looking down your nose at those "Edge Cities". They're expanding to the real City, and they'll get Highland Parks lights on again, faster than you. That is the function of an edge city. If that spoils the view outside your home on Pelkey that you think makes you look like a bad ass, sorry - we're taking it back.
The Detroit Rebellion of 1967, some call it a riot.
WOW! Shit hot music video! Outstanding!
I was born in Detroit in 67 in Hot July, when the rioting was happening and everything was on lockdown. my poor mother must have been so scared! I was just a babe so i didn't know what the hell was goin on. Metropolitan Hospital, no longer exists..
F¨¥†K YEAH !!!! August long Boys!!!!
Turns out the bar is O'Regans Irish Pub in Montreal. Apparently they wanted to shoot in Detroit, but didn't have time.
thats the point
Trippy...
Windsor is truly on tough times. i doubt you'd rather live in Detroit though. Unlike Detroit, we have a chance to turn things around with a bit less difficulty. I hear what you are saying but its easy to put down the city and become part of the problem rather than a solution.
