@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
@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!
@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! )
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.
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.
@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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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,
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.
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 is better than the studio version, they''re a great, underrated band
