  • this is better than the studio version, they''re a great, underrated band

  • @muttiplay You are correct, I think the studio version is weak and watered down compared to them belting it out live.

  • That's great!

  • I love you Yayo<3

  • Jamison has one of the best and smoothest voices in rock.

  • He looks just like Freddy Mercury here...

  • @Debra984 sans the buck teeth that freddie had....and tried to cover up with a stash

  • survivor, probably my favourite american band...

  • AHHH!! 8000's!! Brilliant Survivor song!!

  • for me the hardest part for the vocals here is the change key part!

    Jimi Jamison is one the best vocalist in the 80's era..

  • Very blessed to have seen Survivor + Jimi Jamison thrice in this lifetime (Summers 2000, '02, '04)!!!

  • i love playing this song on guitar :D

  • I love the key change after the bridge...is this (up 3 semitones) LOVE that I'm feeling...

  • excellent voice

    great song

    thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks for posting

  • Ein toller Song.

  • There's no way these vocals are better than Steve Perry...

    YouTube wouldn't let me post it, but look up "Journey Seperate Ways Live 1982"

  • @02Rone I would never say anyone is better than Steve.. but Jimi is one of the few that could have probably sung Steve Perry songs as well as Steve. His range was that good... absolutely amazing. Between Steve, Jimi and Lou Gramm, it just might be a toss up on flawless vocal control at such a high range. These guys were gifted like few others have ever been... then or since.

  • im arab guy .. amazed how come lots of american dont know survivor when i tell them about survivor band .. been listening to survivor since i was 16 yro . they are awesome

  • OMG I love this Song!!!

  • This song has been stuck in my head for a while

  • I LOVE this song!! LOVE the 80's! (I'm 24) Please bring the good damn songs back!!!

  • @rockrocktilyoudrop Well said

  • now thats a good tone for live too..

  • Ich liebe diese Band!!!

  • Too beautiful tone... More masculine than Steve Perry or Brad Delp.. pitch is perfect and high....really rocks.

  • Smokin'!

  • This is love that i felling!

    Very Good =)

  • Awesome tom cruise singing a beautiful song..

  • another great Survivor hit !

  • ..80's ..love the zebra coat and leppard coat :)

  • @raiders2000 Actually, it is a Tiger pattern on the coat as in "Eye of the Tiger"

  • 80's is the BEST GENERATION EVER

  • What a voice !! Maybe 3 guys in the world can make that incredible sound and range. Long love Jimi !! Great songwriting too !

  • their best song!!

  • what an amazing song!

  • YES SIR WELL SAID.....

  • @jusaLOSER ,My English teacher : Kentuckian with a beautiful natural blond hair, she invited me to her house one day for launch LOL

  • Oh god I LOVE Survivor!! <3333 Love thier music soooo much!!

  • Nice song... I love the pitch.

  • WOW! 1987 WHAT A GREAT YEAR THAT WAS. I WAS IN LOVE WITH MY ENGLISH TEACHER HEHEHEHEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @visualart139 LOL i thumbs uped ya for that! i really don't remember what i did that year! not for sure exactly. might have went to Seattle, then down into upper California with my folks, during the summer, stopping to see the Cubs play the Giants in Candlestick! remember that park??? where the fans would stream out of the left field stands to pile on each other by the hundreds going after a home run ball hit over that fence??? AH THE GOOD OL days!!! this is a good song!

  • yet another great song. how many did these guys do?

  • @MAGNUM2F loads and loads everyone of them are just musical perfection. I've never heard a bad Survivor track. Superb band , wish they were still performing

  • @vizzioify Yeah, they are truely magnificent. they are still peforming, just not with origonal lne up. its robin mcauley singing and sullivan and droubay.

  • @MAGNUM2F God, don't bring up Robin's name and Survivor in the same sentence! He's nowhere as great as Jimi Jamison or Dave Bickler. Fortunately, I got to see Jimi+Survivor thrice (and thoroughly rocked out to those gigs)....but I actually walked out on Robin's first tour (in 2006) not even halfway through since he was damn hyperactive majorette with the mike stand!

  • @stoopidmonkeyful LOL! Yeah hes not as good as jimi or dave but he still is a good singer. i just dont think he was right choice for survivor. have a look at him perfoming some of the old GRAND PRIX tracks or some MSG ( mcauley schenker group ). 3 times with dave??? you are really starting to pi*s me off ( in a nice way! )

  • All the songs are too high to sing! They didin't change the tune...Great Jimi!

  • completely agree...

  • Wow! It is rare to have a live version better than the studio one. Just wish there was ONE musician today that could wow me like Jimi in a live setting.

  • this is better live.........great job!

  • These guys rock. Not the groupie type but jimi jamison has it all. WOW

  • angie....!

  • Amazing song!

  • ...put a smile on my face...now, isn't that what really good music is supposed to do. ME THINKS SO.

  • Love this song! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Love the 80's!

  • woooow!!!!!

  • Saw these guys open for REO Speedwagon in early 85. A great double bill.

  • I saw the same tour. Oakland Coliseum. One of my first concerts. Very powerful show. Larger than life!

  • I saw them with REO in '85 too...in Seattle WA. Survivor will always remain one of the best bands I have ever seen!

    Nobody sings or looks like Jimi Jamison! Oh My!

  • EXCELENTE,

    que mas puedo decir

    para mi... su mejor canción.

    Gracias por compartir

  • Just to add to the vocal fatigue comments... Survivor's songs are some of the hardest rock songs to sing for a vocalist especially night after night. Unfortunately Jimi did himself no favors by smoking for years (I saw him light up before going onstage in 2008 even!) as it cuts down on the breath support and really makes for inconsistent results. I think this is a fine performance of this song though and he really hits his stride after the bridge... Survivor was a great band!

  • @ComplexMissy ye i agree with the smoking... but i can sing these songs no sweat (well took a lot of blood, sweat n' tears at first) i have a collection and sing the songs in it night after night... everybody says im good at it so i'll believe 'em

  • @Ace7Hig1 lol.. dude, your friends are lying to you, like those american idol contestants at the beginning of the season. Nobody has a range like Jimi and when you say "no sweat", I am quite certain that you are completely tonedeaf. Another clue is that really great singers are keenly aware of their talent. Bad singers always say that other people tell them they can sing. Not even trying to be mean.. but I can guarantee you don't have 1/10 of this guys talent.

  • Comment removed

  • @GuitarJammer28 you dont need to bash me around the house when i say im good at something... im aware of my talent and most certainly not tone deaf. i know when i sing something out of tune. 8 years singing, 10 from music, in a band as a singer... i think im not completely talentless... :D but yea "no sweat" is quite overrated... "practise makes perfect" you ever heard that? i think i have at least 5/10 of Jimi's talent!

  • @ComplexMissy You nailed it down perfectly; and better than anyone I have seen. I have been a smoker for years and I always struggled with my voice going out. These songs were the tunes we were doing hot off the charts back in the 80's and even though we were just cover bands, you have the same scenario and responsibilities to the songs. Smoking ruins beautiful voices, and I honestly did use to have one. Now I don't have enough of a diaphragm to sing long without my voice just flat going out.

  • so great group,with one of the greatest singers ,wonderful

  • I agree his voice is a bit tired on this show .

    I've heard him sing it in better from another show .

  • basically everyone i'm 27 nearly 28 and i write and record music in the style of rock/pop. influences survivor, mr mister, journey, toto so theres more decent music to come look out for my videos coz i'll start getting them on youtube by the end of the year. regards to everyone!

  • Why don't bands play with snares that sound like that anymore? ...I LOVE that snare sound.

  • yah that snare sound is the thing

  • Gosh, this song brings back so many memories. Jimi sounds vocally tired here, but when he's in form, he has the most powerful masculine vocals on the planet.

  • Comment removed

  • aw, gay!

  • lets see you do as well , in terms of record sales and vocally...

    if you dont like it dont watch it!

  • okay, in other words I have to sell more records and have better vocals to have an opinion, albeit a negative one, does someone with a positive opinion some how escape your conditions for having an opinion? do I have to like something in order to watch it? if so, your opinion is not valid because it violates your own stated conditions to have one. "If you don't like my opinion then don't read it!". Your reasoning is logically fallacious.

  • jesus christ get a life :)

    or try something a bit better than "aw gay" next time :D

  • I've got one and so do you. As you found out your comment is false, people have to be better than people to have an opinion, that does not comport with reality, you know that, and I bet you have an opinion on people superior to yourself. How do you know I'm not superior to you? Try something better than "your comment" next time! When asked to justify your opinion you reply with "get a life" and avoid my questions! someones not thinking straight!

  • conport with reality.. people better than people

    sounds like fun :)

    seriously mate.. if youre so superior to everyone go fuck off and do 3 pHD's in biology and rid the world of cancer instead of slagging off random people and videos on youtube

    have a nice day now

  • "conport"?

  • Who the fuck sings like that?!! That's ridiculous... maybe 5 guys ever could sing with that kind of range... and still hit the notes so dead on. Fuuuuck me.

  • Some might think this song cheesy, but I find it wonderful, and quite meaningful, I have to say. I thought "When Seconds Count" was a great album!

  • I love the guitar solo.Very nice

  • I forgot how many tunes these guys put out in the 80's. I'd say they were underrated a bit.

  • a bit? I'd say A LOT!

  • Anyone has the LIVE performance of "THE SEARCH IS OVER " ? can't find it for this Japan tour performance

  • One of my all time favorite songs.

  • Megagut !!!!! Die 80er waren doch am besten

  • awesome!!

  • best Survivor SONG!!

  • wow this song is awesome

  • i met this man and partied with him

    cool guy

    hey jimi, 1992 in birm at sloss furnace?

  • Chloegone, I'm so jealous!! tell us more about about that angel face/voice that is Jimmy!!!

    indulge us, please!

  • journey es mejor, pro survivor m enkntaaaa!!

  • Journey sin Steve(la vos mas linda del mundo)no es nada. Pere survivor tuvo exito con su anterior cantante y con Jimi si que dieron a el blanco.

  • los dos son mis favoritos, creo q difieren , para mi survivor me provoca mas emocion y recuerdos, survivor calidad total...al final...es cuestion de gustos, pero sin lugar a dudas bandas q destrozan a cualquiera de las actuales,

  • siii!!!

    journey, survivor, boston, foreigner, kansas, styx, reo speedwagon, night ranger, loverboy... lo mjr!!!!

  • Compadre, para mi es imposible elegir entre journey o survivor, son dos bandas que tienen puro power y mucho fuego interno, aunque lamentablemente survivor no fue tan masivo como journey, pero los temas desconocidos son puras joyas. Mencion honrosa: Foreigner.

  • estoy de acuerdo, sobre todo foreigner....son 3 bandas especiales, increibles....lastima q no hayan bandas asi actualmente.saludos

  • Que Journey...Que Toto...SURVIVOR too el rato !!!

    INCREÍBLE!

  • jimi jamison wunderfuıl

  • One of the best rock singer ever!!!Jimi Jamison,Like this perform.

  • Jimi's HOT and on his way to Branson!!! I'll be there!

  • VIVA SURVIVOR

  • Go Jim, you are my and Chris the drumer at the show in Maryland, do you remember us?.Kiss

  • england-is this love i'm feeling.

  • dude. i have not heard this song for 20 years. am doing so right now. flood of memeories are rushing by... grew up at a time when rockstars abounded planet earth..cheers to everyone.

  • jimi jamison is the best. but, give a listen to jim peterik's band from the late 60's (ides of march song 'vehicle'. there is a recent live version posted on youtube. really good music.

  • This song sounds so powerful. Great hook and vocals. Makes me wish i'd wrote it!

  • Take me back to the 70's and 80's music and get me out of todays CRAP for so called music!

  • Amen!

  • Sarah - I know it is .. there are no doubts .. Candi Smiles

  • 'the search is over' may have been a better selling hit, but this song kicks it's ass. by far a much better song.

  • Totally awesome. One of my favourite songs of all time. Can't wait to see Jimi on his UK tour in May.

  • They sound better Live than on CD.
