Jimi has such a meaty voice and can hit high notes with such a masculine tone and not go into falsetto.....this is not easy to do for a lot of high singers. No wonder why he is in the top 10 of best male vocalists!
Its funny. I havent heard these songs in 20 years. Yet I know ALL the lyrics word for word. I was bummed when a girlfriend broke up with me and my Survivor tape was in her car. I missed the tape more than her.
God he was blessed with some STRONG ass cords!I am a tenor my self, and I tell ya it would be a freaking strain on your pipes to able to pull off those high notes NIGHT AFTER NIGHT on the road man! Just absolutely one of the MOST phenominal voices to EVER grace 80'S bar none! But I think Steve Perry"s got him though
A Terrific Band from Chicago.. Jim Peterik (The Keyboard Player) and Frankie Sullivan were a great song writing team. Peterik is still performing with is first band, "Ides of March" with whom he wrote and does lead vocals and Guitar on hits like "Vehicle" and L.A. Goodbye" He also co-wrote big hits for 38. Special including "Hold 0n Losely". When the Ides perform he does those hits from Survivor and 38 Special too, and does a very nice job.
This dude had an awesome voice! You often wonder how well a vocalist can replicate what he sang on record -- but Jimi Jameson was the real deal. He's not quite Steve Perry calibre, but he's a great singer nonetheless!
Man, can this guy sing! He sounds even better live than the studio version. This really isn't my type of music. But this has to be one of the best singers I have ever heard. And the songs by Survivor such as "High On You" and "The Search Is Over" and "I Can't hold Back" were so well written. Yeah, this singer is one in a million.
i love this song, classic one, thanks for uploading it whoever U r, BTW do you have live videos of The search is over & Ever since the world began? did they sing it in this concert?
@ 2:36 you can hear poor Jimi's voice is working over time! I had the great fortune of seeing them live in Seattle in '85 when they were promoting "Vital Signs"!
This was one of the most exciting concerts I've ever been to. They sound like their recording and Jimi is such a great vocalist, plus you can't take your eyes off him!!
@kanemura93 It WAS one of the greatest concerts I had ever been to. I stood about 12 feet directly in front of the stage. The crowd was in love with them too. I sang along with their songs and knew ALL THE WORDS and was especially happy when Jimi & Frankie saw me singing with them!
They opened for REO Speedwagon, but I was only interested in Survivor!!!
The only other concerts that equaled in excitement for me were seeing the Beatles in '66 and Emerson Lake and Palmer in '72. :-)
@kanemura93 ELP were excellent musicians and GOOD LOOKING! The music was like no other band. I saw them live twice, sat in the 2nd row of the orchestra pit the first time (up close - 1 row away from the center of the stage). I saw them the following year in '73 and was able to go backstage both times!!! Check them out on Youtube. Here is one of the links of them at the California Jam in '74 (my brother saw this show) w w w.y o u tu b e. co m /w a tc h ? v = U e Q s Z O Q q O 6 I
Could not agree more, Survivor is so underrated. And when it comes to front men, can't find anyone better than Jimi, one of the most powerful voices ever.
These guys were great live! I used to see them play in their early beginings in their home town River Grove Illinois! They used to rock a place called the "Thirsty Whale" Wow! How I miss that rock club! No where like it in the world! Its gone now, and its a stupid gas station! Survivor rocked!
Good Song Man I Have This Album Called Live In Tokyo Good Live Album. The Preform Stuff From Vital Signs Witch Is A Awesome Album Too. Survivor Is A Good Band Those Guys Rock!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I HATE SURVIVOR. Pederick is a fuck-off who cant write, he has to steal songs. trust me, I know this, he did steal a song from my uncle. Pederick is a total motherfucker and he can burn in hell for getting a record deal he didn't deserve. Kenny deserved it more. and if you don't know what the fuck I'm talknig about, you shouldnt. This is personal biusness between me, my uncle, and Peterick who can suck my dick.
great song and excellent live version. it just occured to me that the lead singer sounds a little like Steve Perry but not quite the same range of Steve.
Yes, I agree, there is no better era of music than the 80's and I also agree that today's music is fake. I hate today's music. It just plain sucks!!!!! LONG LIVE THE 80S!!!!!
