Man Against the World (Live) - Pride of Lions/World Stage 2015 

Jim Peterik is easily one of the greatest songwriters of all time

Toby does an amazing job on this song, but Jimi sung it like he lived it! Best voice ever Jimi.

A moving tribute to, in my and in many others opinion, one of the best voices of all time; Jimi Jamison. This really is one of Jim Peterik's best compositions (which Jimi has a credit on too) and remains one of Stallone's favourite songs too despite not making the final cut of Rocky 4. The story goes that Jimi did the vocal on this track in just one take for a demo and it was so good the producer of 'When seconds count' Ron Nevison said just use that, so he only ever sang it in the studio once. There are not many singers in history that could deliver such a powerful, emotive and challenging vocal as Jimi did, let alone in one take! He will always be remembered and his music appreciated. Thank you for this performance and the touching words at the start

Worthy version and a nice tribute to Jimi. Awesome vocal on the original by Jimi who knew how to sing the hell out of a song, and Toby makes an excellent go of it here.

Toby does a hell of a job on a really demanding song. Jimi's studio version is legendary and as Jim, says he owned it. Jimi had a cool combination of gruffness, range, soul and his secret weapon was a little cry in his voice at the top of his range. Almost a yodel

Oh man, I'm about to shed a tear here, for Jimi, the great voice from Survivor band & for those who struggle hard to get where they want to be. For Jimi is sadness cause he's no longer with us, but his memory lives on through his music. His voice will ring forever in the ears and hearts of his fans. I honor him and all of you. God bless you all. 🙏🏼☝

I grew up unwanted in an abusive household, and was suicidal since age 8. From "Muppet Movie Soundtrack", at age 4 to 8 or 9, I discovered Survivor. I got "When Seconds Count" when I was 10 years old and found such solace and hope in this song. Jimi was my childhood crush. Thank you for the inspiration, and the hope. In your music, I felt safe, like better days were possible. Much love to all.

Jim Peterik, thank you and Survivor for writing and releasing this song. This is my all-time favorite song. It's even my ringtone on my phone. Also, great performance on this video.

Thank you Jim for all the songs n memories. You were the best rock ballad singer. Ever

This guy is great...don't knock him...he is getting the song over...it sent shivers down my spine..this dude took on an epic song and nailed it...and then some one..well written. SONIC FOXX(Songwriter....man who final stepped up and sang one song..last year..GHOSTED by THE CRUE)

This guy really sang this well. Great tribute.

this tribute is Beautiful Jim and band... Tears Jimi, we miss u

Thanks Jim. That was a very touching tribute. Kudos to Toby for his amazing job on vocals. I don't think anyone can sing this song as good as Jimi, but Toby comes close. I'm not an easy critic either, but I think Toby's vocals were superb. And Jim, I just wanted to say that I don't know how anyone can write so many incredible songs as you. You are a true musical genius. In terms of songwriting, I put you right up there with my all-time favorites, guys like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Billy Joel, Tommy Shaw, Dennis DeYoung, Roger Hodgson, Peter Cetera, and a few others. I think you are absolutely amazing.

I am completely convinced Toby has brought back the Survivor sound, but only under a new band name. Shine on and let the music make love to you.

I love this song so much. I've made this my personal anthem since hearing it first time. Thank you Jim Peterik & Frankie Sullivan..(How I wish you're still around JJ.. Only you can deliver it so perfectly. This is truly your song!)

😢 nobody can sing like Jimi he was absolutely the best of the best!!

Thanks survivors 😭😭😭

No one can replace Jimi, but this version is as near to the original as it can get. Miss Jimi like someone I know - his presence was magically.

Jim, your song writing gift is beyond 'able to compose songs' level. Quite deep and even spiritual. "The search is over" and this one are two of my top 10 songs of all time. And Jimi's vocal capability is just one in a billion - a bit (just a bit) better than Steve Perry's in my opinion.

Jimi Jamison I miss you

One of favorite song ❤️

another great member of survivor

😢😢😢😢😢 llorando al recordar a jimy jameson ..dios que voz y que canción tan Bella …que maravilla de compositor peterik 😢

This is me all the time I have my problems and I love this song and I will keep fighting the whole world to the end

One of my all time favorite songs, and a fitting tribute

Toby did a wonderful job on this, but Jimi lived it! There will never be a comparison after Jimi, in my opinion. Jimi was the best!

As a singer myself, that is singing.

This is a great song (from the greatest Survivor album ever 'When Seconds Count)! It guided me through puberty. A great tribute to Jimi, really great performance by Toby and the whole band!! Some doubts about the audience... Even in the case that Jimi would've performed this live at his best, the audience would just share a minimal clapping, whispering to each other 'Barry Manilow is kind a hot these days....'. ;-)

One of my favorites.

Thank you for writing and composing this song. When I was a teenager, I had your album and this was my favorite song on it. I would listen to this song everynight as I went to bed.

Absolutely beautiful song. Miss Jimi. Thank you for the beautiful songwriting of this song and so many others.

I love it !

I've asked this 100 times before and I'm asking it again"Why is AOR mentioned so little compared to Heavy Metal/ Rock?"The reason I'm asking for the 101st time is that this great song is only a minor Survivor song but it's brilliant.In fact when I mention AOR to most music fans they ask me"What's that?"I guess AOR is more great songs than publicity. Don't get me wrong I listened to Def Leppard as a teenager in the eighties but I think the fact that I didn't hear of the term AOR untill the nighties speaks volumes although of course I had heard of Survivor and their massive hit Eye Of The Tiger.

What a great tribute! Thanks for sharing. Two things- can @Jim Peterik confirm the scuttlebutt that Jimi basically nailed this song in one take!? I mean, it's one of my personal top 5 vocal performances of the 80's. Second- Does anyone have any footage of Survivor playing this song live? I can't seem to find anything. Was it ever played live?

Fantastic!!!

Semplicemente fantastica

Very nice boys.

Toby is awesome !

Kami Jamison.... RIP...

LOVE the song, but this version falls flat cause he sings it too well😅, Jimi LIVED it, and sang it with the slightest offset that made it extra special/poignant/gripping... Don't know how else to put it... Sorry, I just love the original too much... 😘

This song just DESCRIBES Alexander Rossi winning the 2016 Indianapolis 500. Against all odds, he won as a rookie on fumes. Four months ago, he didn't even dream of this year's 500. The lyrics just fit that story. espn.go.com/racing/indycar/story/_/id/15813962/indycar-fuel-strategy-makes-alexander-rossi-rookie-indy-500-winner

Nice idol

💔💔

As much as I love Toby's voice has there been a performance on this done with Jim singing lead? if so I would love to hear it

🎉🎉🎉top

😢

is there any live version with Jimi Jamison ! This song is the best song ive ever listen !

Is this song about the Prince of Peace? Without prejudice to someone beliefs, I think Survivor band gave us a beautiful song in reference to Him. Lyrics: Have you ever walked alone at night Like a man against the world No one takes your side A boat against the tide When your faith is shaken you start to break And your heart can't find the words Tossed upon the sand I give you a man against the world God speaking - The man against the world refers to Jesus Human - when Faith is shaken you start to break God Speaking - I give you a man that overcame the world which is Jesus Lyrics : All the people cheer 'til the end is near - when Jesus perform miracles all people are cheering and proclaiming His name until when Jesus was persecuted... Lyrics : And the hero takes a fall - when Jesus was about to be betrayed and to be taken Lyrics : Then they'll drag you through the mud because You're only flesh and blood - they don’t believe that Jesus is God because He is only flesh and He bleeds Lyrics : Alone I take my stand I'm only a man against the world But love, like a distant reminder It tugs at my shoulder It calls me home I shout, can a single voice carry Will I find sanctuary within your arms Someday when the answer's clearer someday when I even the score You'll reach and you'll find me near you Right beside you, forevermore But for now I'll walk the night alone Like a man against the world A brand new day will shine Through the avalanche oftime Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong And the fire within still burns Alone I take my stand I give you a man against the world He took all the sins in this world and He had ask God the Father if one single man can free the world from sins.But that is the will of the father and He knows when everything is done, when the score is even, that our sins are paid thru His blood, He will be at the right side of the Father forever interceding with us. And we will be having a brand new day in life if we believe in what He had done at the cross. HE overcame the world as human flesh and that is enough reminder to us, that we can also overcome the world with His Grace and mercy.

Who´s the singer in this clip?

Nice job. Who is the singer?
