I can remember telling him to do FIREFEST and he had no clue what it even was....sometimes my ideas were good, that's why I worked for him for over ten years, friends longer....miss him. RIP bro...u r missed.
It was a great idea loved Jimi from the very beginning to the very end. He still was rocken the stage. He was still a magnificent singer l will always miss him and love him forever. He is the air that I breathe 2020 forever ❣️😍 His fan . Jimi jamison you rule.
That's one of the best live performances I've ever seen. His voice was impeccable and the band hit their notes perfectly. Gone too soon, but Jimi, along with Steve Perry and Lou Gramm, will always be the best band vocalists of the 80s.

@@rochellelisovich7447 It's crazy, everybody knows Eye Of The Tiger and Burning Heart but according to the views on youtube almost no one knows the other songs... cuz those couple million views are all by me in the last couple weeks. It's sad I only found out about their other songs lately... especially Jimi's voice... I almost missed out on greatness.
He was literally magic to the stage. I miss this dear friend so very much. He had such a gift. But even more so then the talent he so had. His heart was endearing. Always giving back & supporting St Jude and many other organizations. Remarkable man & genuine friend. Life is not the same with out him in it. He impacted many lives by his being. Jimi if I know you as I do. I know your Rock N Heaven. Hugs galore... RIP
Jimi was one the greatest of all times. In 2014 the world has not only lost a great singer and gifted artist but also a precious human being, I had the pleasure ( and honor ) to work with Jimi, I´ll never forget the fun we had together, I still can´t believe he is forever gone. rock in peace my friend
Angel Kelley Hi Angel although o didn't know him I could tell by his interviews that he always stayed humble and never forgot where he came from. He will always be my favorite singer. IMO he was a class act.
Angel Kelley Just found this song on RUclips about a month ago.... Even now His music still helps me stay emotionally strong through all this craziness....
Jimi Jamison is one of the greatest singers out there then and now. He is one of the Top 10 Male vocalist in the world. & maintained it. Known and named as the voice of music in the industry. He is Legendary Artistry at its best. This is a live performance at Firefest. I have seen these talented artists perform live numerous times and they are Music @ ts best. They have talent beyond words. There isnt many even close to having the gifted natural talent this man has.... Jimi just keeps on getting better and better with time. Legendary Icon.
The members of heat keep honoring Jimmi. When he played with new brothers of music they sounded even better. They rocked and the sound of Jimmi will be honored. Thank you Jimmy for always lifting my spirit and making fans smile. A true hero of music.
YES I WISH THAT JIMI WILL BE HONORED TO THE WALK OF HALL OF FAMER AS HE IS ONE OF THE TOP 3 vocalist in the music industry in the world, please, please!!!!
@@safiyahosein2274💯% it should have already happened. Survivor is one hell of a powerful band with Jimmy Peteric's amazing song writing talent and at first Dave Bickler's powerful voice ( eye of the tiger,) then Jimi coming on board with His amazing strong and beautiful, powerful voice. Simply a great professional rock band. We will forever miss survivor, but will always have the musical legacy that they created and left behind...❤
Yep i agree and he never got into the rock and roll hall of fame. They where awesome i saw them and reo speedwagon and styx and survivor blew them all away. Wasnt even close
With a heavy heart I am deeply saddened to say...R.I.P Return if possible Jimi Jamison, passed away from a heart attack I have been a fan since the 80's and finally got tickets to see him in Manchester next month...now a dream I cannot fulfil. A great singer and by all counts a great man, A sad loss to his family and millions of friends...including me, who inspired me back then and recently through some tough times xx
Jimi is awesome! Period. And man, Tommy Denander is just, well... awesome!! FYI, He uses a Kemper profiling amp directly into the PA! :-) It's amazing how far amp modeling has come. Amazing!
Sure looks like it was played live to me, its a concert, correct, and people everywhere, correct! I love his beautiful and powerful voice, hes one of the greatest rock performers of all time, and still as hot looking as ever....
My journey towards discovering Jimi Jamison is a weird one: Watching Paul Blart Mall Cop in 2020 and hearing ‘I can’t hold back’ and wondering who sung it. Then discover several other Survivor songs (other then Eye) I never heard of, to discovering Jimi’s solo work. And then this Firefest live performance, with a great ‘Didn’t know it was love’ live version. Too bad I discovered him so late, but glad I did. He surely was a great singer. RIP
Sweet Jesus! It breaks my heart that Jimi didn't get the chance to have bypass surgery for his clogged arteries. Maybe he had no symptoms. A treasure and a gift we were given of a voice and a decent man.
Everyman has a time go. But for me jimmy is timeless. He will live in our hearts ears and moments for ever. Rest in piece brother. Hope to see you one day...
Its an abosulte disgrace radio stations haven't played this fantastic song the best vocalist jimi is this love another brilliant song I can't hold back underatted rock band in history u can ur queens and all survivor the best give a thumbs up
Omg I am amazed and very sad right now .How did I not know about this song!!!!.I'm hooked ,if this had been promoted when it came out ,I would have burned out my tape deck in my car listening to it.What a beat, What a voice ... such a loss
Lived my 20's through the golden age of AOR music and always loved it jimmy had one of the most amazing vocal ranges in the early Survivor years ever heard Vital Signs still on of my fave albums RIP Mr Jamieson you left us some amazing songs.
What a voice and such a kind soul !! You're very missed Jimi!! Wish I'd had a chance to meet you but listening to your music is good enough for me❤❤❤❤❤
Didn't Know It Was Love Didn't know it was fate Didn't know it was destiny callin' Tell me it's never too late Was I too blind to see When push came to shove You were all that I needed Didn't Know It Was Love
jimi jamison, eres una de las mejores voces del mundo gracias por todo lo que nos dejaste se que en el cielo estarás con grandes músicos como jeff porcaro.Siempre te recordaremos.
I was at both Firefests when Jimi Jamison performed. For those who say this dubbed, get a grip. it made been cleaned up slightly for DVD but it was as good on the night as it sounds here.
Jimi had one of those voices that you could understand all the vocals.
Agree! It's hard to find someone who can be completely understood. Great vocalist!
The same is with the hard-rock singer Graham Bonnet from the band Rainbow.
Agreed
Yes, he had a really clean voice. One of the absolut best singers in the world ❤
Amen !
It's 2023 and I still love Jimi as much as I did in the 80's !!! RIP Jimi ❤️
I can remember telling him to do FIREFEST and he had no clue what it even was....sometimes my ideas were good, that's why I worked for him for over ten years, friends longer....miss him. RIP bro...u r missed.

@@petiestewart1086 yes. Did his website and booked some gigs, set up meet/greets,etc. sweet, very funny man.
This man's voice never aged. Rip, ageless
That's one of the best live performances I've ever seen. His voice was impeccable and the band hit their notes perfectly. Gone too soon, but Jimi, along with Steve Perry and Lou Gramm, will always be the best band vocalists of the 80s.
Graham bonnet deserves a mention too but I love jimi
Michael hutchence, Steven luckater
I can't believe I never heard this before. This my favorite song now. I played this at least six times on Saturday! Just ask my neighbors!
I hear you. I just discovered a ton of survivor songs I'd never heard before. Needless to say they're my new favorites
I play it also many times.

One of the best male vocals ever. Got to see him with Survivor. Incredible musician. Rip
Magic.... Miss this guy. One of the best voices of Rock history. No doubt.
Completly agree!💕
That voice. Nothing like it ever.
That was his voice in a live performance? IT'S FUCKING RIDICULOUS MAN. Absolutly and extremely insane talent.
Visited his Jimi’s shrine/bust at the Memphis Hardrock in 2018. Staff set me and grandson up on stage w/guitars and we air jammed
Still can't believe Jimi has gone. Never ever forgotten.
❤🎶 He rocked till the very end. He loved the stage & the stage loved him.....
Jimi Jamison will forever live on through his music!
Man...what a voice! One of the greatest of all time.
One of the BEST voices ever.
