Sanders invoked the Woody Guthrie labor anthem "Which Side Are You On?" to tell Democrats: "Our job is to make it clear that the Democratic Party is on the side of working people".
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) had lines stretching down South 4th Street and the crowd on their feet inside the Louisville Palace Theater on Tuesday night.
But Perez disagreed with that assessment in an interview with NPR on Monday ahead of the tour.
"I am an independent", Sanders affirmed.
During his talk last night, Sanders again targeted perceived Democratic failures, saying "Our job is to radically transform the Democratic party".
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will headline a Louisville event aimed at helping re-energize Kentucky's downtrodden Democratic Party. The tour will take them from ME to eight other states, including Florida, Arizona, Montana and Nevada.
Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, called for a grass-roots resurgence in which progressives run for offices ranging from local school board to Congress.
Considering how women's rights-and women's votes-have the potential to be an enormous element in the midterm elections in 2018, it's safe to say Sanders and Perez are under pressure to get their messaging on track.
But Utah, a state that hasn't voted for a Democrat for president since 1964, went for the Republican nominee, now-President Donald Trump, last year.

Cook is considered one of the more elusive backs and averages 4.2 yards after contact, according to Pro Football Focus . Richardson's struggles were one reason 2013 marked the first time in 50 years a back was not picked in the first round.
"The current process by which the Democratic Party does business is a failed process".
Most Kentucky Democrats have tried to distance themselves from the Affordable Care Act, mostly because of its association with former President Barack Obama. "That's what we will do: Fight like hell with you", he said Monday.
"We need newer faces across the board: veterans, police officers, teachers, coaches, firefighters that can improve our party's brand at least visually", said Ryan, who unsuccessfully challenged Nancy Pelosi for House minority leader late past year.
"Do you consider yourself a Democrat?" host Chris Hayes asked the Vermont senator.
Perez appeared to waffle on his answer, stating, "I think you're creating a false choice.what we have to do as Democrats is to articulate very clearly that Donald Trump's vision for America is a vision for the top one percent of the one percent". "It will only set back women's fundamental rights and freedoms", she added.
DETROW: That chorus - I've been everywhere - is fitting because this week, Perez and Sanders probably feel the same way.
The Democrats' "Come Together and Fight Back" tour was supposed to put to bed differences between the establishment wing of the party and Bernie Sanders supporters, still pointing fingers over their party's Electoral College defeat in November.
- Before the tour kicked off in ME this week, there was already tension between the DNC and Sanders' team about sharing data from people who have RSVP'd. "He's a threat to our democracy", Perez said.
