I'm listening to Jimi everyday in 2023. There's just something about him, his voice, his personality. What a huge loss to the rock world but so great we can still hear his songs with Survivor, his personal CDs, recorded concerts and interviews. Absolutely the greatest singer. Nice range and also as I have read, perfect pitch. 🥰
He was such a great singer. He should have been a huge superstar. Your fans will never forget you. I hope your jamming in heaven with my hubby. RIP Jim.
He was needed his own chart topping hits in the 90s, during his solo career, but not just singing Survivor songs under the Survivor name. That's why he didn't become a big superstar!!!
I saw them live when they opened for REO Speedwagon in the 80's. It was a flawless performance by both bands, I remember the lead guitars truly energetic and into the songs, all of them! I saw many concerts, many I wished I could see again, but the tour with Survivor and REO together peaks as the greatest memory.
I remember being a teenager in the mid to late 1980s when their music was all over the airwaves. It was a great time to be alive then and listening to the music from greats such as Survivor, Reo Speedwagon, .38 special, etc.
As I've said formerly, Jimi and Jim were truly the enduring shining stars in this band. They are sorely missed! However, a HUGE SHOUTOUT to all the members who made Survivor what it was back in its 80's prime. Nothing better illustrates how vital ALL of a band's elements (bass, drums, bogs vocals...) are, as does this clip. In your day, Survivor, you were amazing--yes, even you, Frankie.
Wow still listening Jimi and Frankie really admired eachother look so happy soon after he would be gone but not his music what a great smile thankyou for all the awesome memories of my youth thankgoodness for you tube✌😀😊🎤😙
Such an iconic rock band in many ways of a league all to itself. I don't know if having so different performers such as guitarists or lead singers is a blessing or a curse for the band as individuals.. or even as a band as a whole.. but certainly Survivor has produced amazing material that many will enjoy for generations to come! Without a doubt Survivor has had a couple AMAZING lead vocalists and not not many bands have been able to pull off a switch of its front man and yet still as a whole be embraced by the majority of their fans. It's gotta be one hell of an experience to be such a talented and gifted lead singer that you are sought after by such well established bands and can truly propel these groups to new levels and then still be of such confidence that you can explore other endeavors!!.. never getting locked into one place. Most bands that survived the test of time for most part stick together.. REO for example.. I'm certain the music industry is a grueling business at time's! But when you got the talent you can go wherever your dreams wish to take you! Jimi sounded amazing here to me! And the passion expressed in this performance 30 years after the original... hard to believe he would be gone to the stars in just a few months after this! .. amazing singer! Amazing and iconic voice!
I'm sorry you couldn't find happiness without the drugs. You had an amazing gift and I thank you for sharing that part of you with me. I hope you are at peace Jimi.
I doubt that he was using drugs at 63 years old. He loved his life and his family. People can have a cardiac arrest without being on drugs you know!! RIP Jimi❤
Eran muy buenos Amigos Jimi y Frankie, Siempre juntos hasta el final, pero sin Jimi nada es igual, que triste que se halla ido, seguiría deleitándonos con su Maravillosa Voz.
There will never be a talent as great and truly moving as jimmi jamison..just a wonderful performer and a great soul..he truly left his mark in this world
I’m so glad I got to see them live in May of 1985. They opened for Bryan Adams at the Omni in Atlanta and this song was one of their huge hits at the time. They were all over the radio that Summer. 🙂
Now. How on earth do 26 people manage to dislike this video? Jimi Jameson is an all-time great vocalist. and this song is extremely difficult to sing. Especially when it's not falsetto or soprano. It's pushing his voice to the limits. So, I guess some people listened to the guitar solo and got bored quickly.
@@crystalfreeman9295 could "of" been???? what the fuck is wrong with you???? It was a stroke with "acute methamphetamine intoxication contributing." When are these idiots going to understand that it is COULD HAVE, not could "of"???????????????????????????????????????
@@jvidalw who are you talking to. I don't like your cursing words. Don't commit that word back to me. If that is how you express your self. Don't commit back to me.
You for certain can tell by his eyes how sick he is in the show but he persevered and gave his heart to the fans! What an amazing voice. Right up there with Steve Perry and suck like. Rest in peace my brother. Your legacy and fans will forever live on!
Look up the late/great Jimi Jamison singing lead vocals for an early 80s metal rocker band called "Cobra", on the song "Midnight Machine" (Live). ... You won't believe it's the same human !!
I became a big fan of survovor when the did eye of the tiger in the rocky 3 movie then they came out with vital signs just a geat album. by far their best.
Frankie is a hot guitar player and also not too hard on the eyes either. Was really a cutie back In their younger days. Bickler is also handsome and Jimi Jamison all the band were talented and handsome. I wished that we never had to grow old. ❤
Me duele verte y saber que ya no estás físicamente, pero estás en mi/nuestros corazones hasta el fin de los tiempos. Lástima, Survivor sin ti no es lo mismo, sin Estephan, sin Jim Peterik, y Frank pues hace su mayor esfuerzo. Sinembargo... Te amo Survivor💘💋😘👍. RIP JIMI JAMISON, RIP Estephan Ellis.
Asi es amiga Survivor ya no es lo mismo sin Jimi. Yo amo esta banda y amo a Jimi su musica es lo mejor q escuché y no puedo creer q esta banda no haya arrasado en los 90' . Aunke amo su estilo de los 80'. Para mi su musica nunca pasara de moda. Y amo a mi jimi jamison con el alma , q hombre mas hermoso q fué. ❤💔
@@jimijamisonfans2194, hola que gusto volver a saludarte, claro que sí, yo nunca me canso de ver a Jimi en los videos y escuchar su música cuando fue solista, me aflora el amor por él, y obviamente por Survivor. Cuando me vaya lo buscaré jejeje 😘💋

doesn't it seem like Frankie S. is just ...not all there on this clip?? This intro goes on waaay too long, and it seems really odd how he stops playing repeatedly to try to get the crowd to clap..really weird..sounds like his speech is a bit slurred...wonder if he was loaded..
I can't remember the name of this zombie playing the red Strat but he's fucking amazing. And Jimi? Right up there with Steve Perry--and for much longer, too.
@@leyla.007 Thank you for posting this Leyla.007 I stand corrected. And also I’ve always thought Jimmi Jameson is one of the worlds most underrated singers ever. I put him right below Steve Perry and Rik Emmet of Triumph as one of the worlds best. And also the guitarist was amazing back then. Again my friend thank you for the post.
I think what I love most about survivor is that jimi and Dave never really had conflict or was like "this is my band not yours". They all seem like great guys
Wow! If they hadn't had contract disputes, they could have been bigger than Journey easily. The record company probably would have replaced the guitar player, though.
Saw Survivor in 1986. Needless to say, they sounded awesome! JJ is the only thing that saves this dreadful performance...RIP. The only thing worse than a shitty guitar solo is 7 minutes of it!

Jimi was a great singer and also a super nice guy. I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with him back stage. Definitely a great moment
Lucky you getting to meet Jimi. I never met him, but I'm thankful that I get to listen to his amazing voice daily@adamchaifetz5876
He was such a great singer. He should have been a huge superstar. Your fans will never forget you. I hope your jamming in heaven with my hubby. RIP Jim.
i guess I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
Agreed! He was the best! And sorry for your loss. Hopefully they are happy and jamming away, waiting for us to join :)
Jimi's voice had amazing range. I will be listening to him, until we meet in Heaven. 💘
He was needed his own chart topping hits in the 90s, during his solo career, but not just singing Survivor songs under the Survivor name. That's why he didn't become a big superstar!!!
Frankie what the hell happened here. That guitar intro ????
Jimi Jameson really had it all great rock voice, stage presence and looks. Amazing talent that no other singer could’ve gave that song what he did.
Oh my God how much I love survivor music and the special voice of Jimi Jamison ❤️ returning to the 80's everytime I heard this song!! I love it!!
He was the absolute best ever x(
damn... one of the best singers in rock history. period
YES, CAMERON
One of the greatest singers, ever. Great band. Thanks.

@@edbowen8287 did Survivor ever play as the headliners? All i heard that they opened for somebody 😔
march 3rd 1985 Survivor opened for REO at the Charlotte coliseum..great concert..was there 🤘👍
Wish I saw them both! My dad saw them both about 2/3 times, separately, but he was so lucky! Reo and survivor are my dad's 2 favorites!
Rip Jimi. Even though i just discovered your beautiful voice this year. Im in love 😻
I remember being a teenager in the mid to late 1980s when their music was all over the airwaves. It was a great time to be alive then and listening to the music from greats such as Survivor, Reo Speedwagon, .38 special, etc.
You missed out on the 80s it was unbelievable I feel sad whenever I hear the songs cause those days are gone forever
God bless you Jimi !! You are very much missed . Never for forgotten.
I really
Loved his voice, his compassion, his attitude and pure excitement for everything he sang!! One of the best!!!

he died of a brain blockage
@@dappawap from acute methamphetamine intoxication
I just read the “drugs” could have just been diet pills cause he was basically clean.. was not into drugs and alcohol.
@@emmem4689 no one dies from the diet pills, unless he had eaten them all!!!
I doubt that he was using drugs at 63 years old. He loved his life and his family. People can have a cardiac arrest without being on drugs you know!! RIP Jimi❤

There will never be a talent as great and truly moving as jimmi jamison..just a wonderful performer and a great soul..he truly left his mark in this world
Now that is truly sad… never another singer like Jimi.., so sad …
Aí é uma banda boa de mais
What a great singer!!! Rip my sir!!!
Such a shame he had to let drugs control his life. SUCH a voice!! So sad... RIP Jimi....
I agree survivor amazing band singer amazing voice rip
Saw this phenomenal band at their peak, spring of 1987. They were and are under-appreciated. ❤
How much Frankie, his behavior on stage and playing have changed since?
Not underappreciated by me
I must admit I don't go deep into their catalog, but their hits mean TONS to me
They STILL MOVE ME
WOW
Forever survivor, forver Jimi Jamison. Great singer
Nice to see old bands still sounding great
All I can say about this performance is thank god for Jimi’s voice. He saved it.
Jimi Jamison one of the best rock vocalists I have come across
Such power, a great song.
I’m so glad I got to see them live in May of 1985. They opened for Bryan Adams at the Omni in Atlanta and this song was one of their huge hits at the time. They were all over the radio that Summer. 🙂
What a wonderful voice!!!!!
Man this is just too good! Long Live Survivor!
God Bless you. Loved your voice. I am trying to sing like you. Ah, maybe one day.
I like this bluesy intro F.S. uses here.
It morphs pretty seamlessly into ICHB.
It's sounds like the seeds of a new song. Finish it, guys 🎸

Completely agree! They don’t know how difficult is to sing this high notes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ wonderful Jimmy!!!
I SUPPOSE THEY DISLIKED THE UNBEARABLE "SOLO" INTRO...
It was diva Frankie’s way too long opening. 🤦♀️
Frankie you are one of the best guitarists in the world. I love very much
Damn, Jimi looked healthy and even sounded great for his age. Such a shame he died.
And less than a month from this recording. :(
Smoking, drugs, and alcohol. It eventually catches up.

O que dizer dessa canção!! Maravilhosa!!
So envious to everyone who saw them live esp around 1989. Missed opportunity on my part 😩
I LOVE YOU JAMO 💔💔

Saw him in concert at a Chinese restaurant. The biggest steal of a concert you could possibly ask for.
What a voice still listening 🎶 in 2023....
Watching this after watching “I see you in everyone” in Japan, is sad because that is literally one of the best guitar solos in rock history.
Jimi would die less than 2 month later. Such an amazing singer and front man. RIP.
Born and raised with this song
Look up the late/great Jimi Jamison singing lead vocals for an early 80s metal rocker band called "Cobra", on the song "Midnight Machine" (Live). ... You won't believe it's the same human !!
