[Meteddica]

Should do a comeback tour called "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in"

[HerbMentor]

I LOVED this album. I wore out several needles playing this one in the mid 80's.

[ameCaline07]

@thomasbcool: thanks a million x100000 for uploading this one!

I've tried to upload it myself..but it won't work (one year ago).... maybe I'll try again...there's always something, great old stuff that still need to be played, heard in this world filled with vanity and smooth rapBoringZZZZZZZzzzzz-stuff! BigKiss ♥♥♥

[thomasbcool]

@ameCaline07 1. Use Firefox 2. Add VideoDownloader Plugin. Done.

[jasonfallon123]

Can't make out a fucking word...???

[thomasbcool]

Seems clear to me. Probably need a little more of this in Wisconsin and more.

[PhreakStep]

OMG when he is young Steve kinda looks like Al Pacino.

[Balanar91]

Silvio Dante can jam :)

[priskris01]

Thank you itafeller for the question, because I was wondering the same thing. So it must have been 25 years ago. Wow! He is so cute!

[123mollieb]

:) great

[123mollieb]

Little Steven is so cute here... go little steven go go go..

[socrates1818]

I've said it before, this is better than Springsteens' entire catalogue

[scottyskittles]

@socrates1818 ok thats just ridiculous 

[BOBPOPROCK]

@socrates1818  drugs r bad

[itaifeller]

what year is it from?

[thomasbcool]

Voice of America was '84, so just after.

[pac401]

Little Steven has that Johnny Depp/Keith Richards pirate thing going on.

[ortleyman]

Man, I'm gettin old.

[westy4u]

SWEET. THIS IS OLD SCHOOL

[controll54]

silvio soprano

[kingkongkarnage]

Silvio Dante.

[controll54]

.i.

[sforzando1213]

lol Silvio in tight pants

[positivelyusername]

This is fucking FANTASTIC. Blows away the album version. Incredible video, thanks!!!!

[thomasbcool]

Is it just me, or does the world's most dangerous band enjoy doing this as much as you listening. I defer to their precision.

[positivelyusername]

Ha ha! Yes, they're really into it; sometimes Dave would just have a guest that would bring the best out in the band, where they clearly just loved it.

(Wish Willie Nile's performance was posted on youtube...have it on a tape *somewhere*

I've watched this clip about a couple dozen times easily... :)

[abomb83]

This is very snotty and very punk. Little Steven pretty much just kicked my teeth in. Pretty awesome.

[1972abc]

yeah bruce springsteen all the way ''but this is bad...steve has some great albums out.

[isnover]

such a good song, but i cant find it anywhere but on this video! cant even put in on my ipod, damn.

[herb4peace]

one of the greatest bands ever ... more than just underestimated !!!!....truely though not their best performance... and still, to all you soulless hosebags makin bad comments .... none of you even managed to compose or put out even just one minute of the quality my man steve has ... and if you would,ve you,d know how just how good his work was... so get back to the caves you crept out of and practice !! steves a genious

[lilpuppyguy]

ouch

[larocka68]

horrible

[BrianGriffin1]

The actual guitar is currently at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Bruce Springsteen exhibit. Well worth the trip!!!

[rompy98]

Its a Guild X-79 You can find them on EBAY relatively cheap...but without the custom paint job. About $400-500

[thomasbcool]

Cool romp, I looked around myself and thought it looked like a Rick on steroids. Haven't heard the brand Guild mentioned in a long time. They used to make the most full sounding acoustics in the business (IMHO).

[Arseface87]

What the Hell guitar is that? It kinda looks Rickenbacker-ish, but then it's too radical and you know, not gentlemanly like most Rics. Anyone know?

[oldphoque]

Raw, whatever. This performance was just aweful. It never got better. It just sucked.

[thomasbcool]

This is a pretty good representation of the tune from the album. I say raw, you say sucked, obviously not one of our favorites audibly, but there was passion in the message. The Letterman band delivered too, they seemed to enjoy it as musicians. Can't fake that.

I've never heard Bob Zimmerman sound good on TV either.

Check out Steven's Rockplast stuff (maybe you have and are comparing, it's pretty good).

[oldphoque]

I play. I get getting caught in the moment. Feeding on the crowd or other bandmates. You just cannot go on tv like you are jamming in a basement with your buds after being in the E. St. Band. This might have been a climax for the band but was crap to whomever had to endure it. Cool, yes. Great, NO! It was bad.

[oldphoque]

Steven. Love you bro, but this is crap.

[thomasbcool]

I always thought this tune was a bit raw myself, especially if it's the first time you've heard it. But when you've probably got a short time to practice and go on live TV it's likely they chose this one for convenience. And it was the title tune on the album he was promoting. Los Deseparicidos, I am a Patriot, Under the gun, Undefeated, Out of the Darkness were killer tunes on that album.

[penthouse10]

absolutely right. VOA was a great album.

I remember an interview where the guy asked Little Steven what happened to "Miami Steve"? Steve smiled and said he retired to a condo in Florida...funny guy

[mrfuckallyoubastards]

from rocker to mobster lol

[Tunnelof]

Great

[mannexx111]

the voice of amerika hil hitler

[TDiegoAllessandro]

I'd know that drummer anywhere that's Steve Jordan, great drummer, really good producer.

[pastaface100]

He looks like a bit of a twat to me.

As for the music, it's just a little bit shit.

[matrixmario]

damn, from rock and roller to mob boss, both being badass

[toolover10]

mob boss? what are you talking about?

[matrixmario]

my bad, ignore the mob boss part, i was just generally referring to the show

[toolover10]

OK.

[nunctecognovi]

I've just discovered that he plays Silvio Dante in The Sopranos.

[H82Sayit]

where the F have you been for the past 10 years?

[nunctecognovi]

The fact is that I've never watched The Sopranos before

[fedemonsalve]

what a looser

[timbulb]

If you can't spell loser, you are one.

[lostidproductions]

@H82Sayit hidden in a cockroach's nest, where they belong

[andthewinnerisJ]

@H82Sayit Sopranos duhhh

[molly23gud]

who sed perfection ??? I've seen Little Steven he's loud. So what ! distortion simple as. I know his music and i still couldn't hear it

[molly23gud]

Too loud for the studio bud, very very loud in concert

[mannexx111]

god he sucks I cant believe anybody would buy this noise sounds like I turned on a few power tools in the workshop

[lacrabe]

Power tools sound better !!!!

[acea1983]

I will never look at SVZ the same again.

[G4331]

Looks like Paul Stanley with a head scarf.

[bugattibowler]

Steve needs more credit as a guitarist.

[cassiusclaynyc]

Amen to that brother. All you need to know is to see the Jungleland solo live and thats that. I think he is underestimated by some as well.

[TheDonOfZagreb]

soprano would be pissed to see silvio like this...

[arisbananatwins]

love steve... you can here the clash influence. hes always been a big fan of the clash.

[pageybowsolo]

AMAZING!

Great upload on youtube! It's his best song from his best album. The Loreley 1984 version is even better.

[Quickstoptim]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

That's Steve Jordan on drums (Blues Brothers and Keith Richards solo band).

The black leather "Disciples of Soul" jackets are just ising on the cake.

A great song from a much overlooked album. Go to Itunes and download "I am a Patriot." Do it NOW!

[JT170]

Whatta amazin' life this guy has had.

[PanhandlingMisery]

Miami Steve... he's the best.

[crisgia]

omfg hes so different from sil on the sopranos

[HammersmithOdeon75BS]

That man is so fu**ing cool

[Beauvoir666]

Thanks for posting!

Haven't seen this in years...GREAT STUFF!

[Rottolescatole]

Steven you'll always be the best!!!

[thehoundz]

This is NEW JERSEY surf music!

[LITTLESTEVEN420]
