Audio - Survivor live at Wheeling Civic Centre (22 November 1982). Taken from the Going The Distance Tour which begun early Spring of that year. Peterik is cited to say the tour lasted 13 months precipitated by the global success of the Eye of the Tiger song, having scored number one for 6 consecutive weeks in the US Billboard charts, topping the UK charts for 4 consecutive weeks and number one in over 24 countries. Eye of the Tiger still largely remains popular and loved thanks to the successful Rocky 3 movie plus other TV shows and most notably, the excellent song writing partnership ; Peterik and Sullivan amid the phenomenal tenor vocals from Dave Bickler.
Survivor was on tour with REO Speedwagon, where both bands played at the Wheeling Civic Centre on 22/11/82. The centre opened on 19 April 1977, with Doobie Brothers playing a concert that day. The centre was renamed WesBanco Arena from 2003 as a result of WesBanco (Wheeling based holding company) acquiring the naming rights.
