Survivor - Eye of the Tiger (Live in Japan 1985) 

Yo any one back in 2024

When a live performance is as good if not better than the studio version than you realize the greatness of a band.

The rock singers in the 80s could actually sing.

R.I.P Jimi Jameson. Never forgotten. Extremely talented. Huge loss

I don’t know if I’ve ever teared up watching a song performance that wasn’t meant to be sad, but my gosh, seeing the passion in Jimi when he hit the high note on the first chorus, the sweat, the face, the voice, everything. AND it’s harder for him to sing high being a baritone, and he rarely ever missed a note. He really was incredible.

RIP Jimi, you are better than all the shit musicians we have today!

His voice was amazing....not many singers can perform this good nowadays.... absolutely a legendary band....

Why the hell does Japan always have the best concerts? This sounds amazing

This kind of music, especially from the '80s, really stands the test of time. Always great to listen to.

80s had great music, I feel sorry for the kids today.

This gets 1,3 million views, Drake's shit gets over 1 billion, what is wrong with people

2020 still listening, bring back 80's

Love seeing the band and Jimi hammer this out live. No autotune crap, pure passion. 80’s rock!

Jimi has to be among the most underrated frontmen in rock. He had it all - singing ability and the looks and charisma of a rock star.

Singers from 80´s didn´t need autotune beause their voice were real

The beauty of the video is that there is no phone to record. :) the audience listens only. p.s What a voice!

This is the first time that I hear this excellent classic live performed and it sounds awesome!!!

This song is so badass, it always makes you feel like you could tear the whole world down

Japão nos anos 1980 promoveu muitos shows internacionais,e foram os melhores com direito a ser álbum ao vivo em vários casos...Brasil e Argentina tiveram shows históricos e nível semelhante mas em muito menor número.Incrível que a música seja essa nacional ou internacional regrediu e não digo no sentido de nostalgia ou diminuir, mas no sentido de qualidade mesmo...

He has the most underrated voice in Rock

2020 still watching 🤘

Jimi was such an amazing singer that most people don't even realize that he isn't the original singer of this song. A very hard song to sing, with a lot of high notes, and still Jimmy managed to sing it as if he wrote it and sang it on the record.

Y nada de play back, esta es una versión con pelotas. Gracias Survivor, gracias Jimi Jamison. Saludos desde Argentina \m/

One of the best vocals.RIP Jimi Jamison

Jimi was truly the best ! He will always be remembered for his kind heart and beautiful voice. I will never forget him . Love and miss him forever!!!!

Esta Canción me volvió subir my autoestima 110 % Por ciento seguir Luchando Solo se consigue con eye of the tiger " RIP Jimi Jamison † Gracias por ese legado ...

I'm still listening to this in 2022, how about you!?🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Uma música só pode sobreviver assim marcando gerações por tanto tempo se for muito boa! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple/Rainbow): "I had seen Jimi in Survivor and was very impressed. I remember going down to Tennessee to meet him and I really liked him as a person. He then came up to try out with Deep Purple. We did one song, I think it was 'Going Down' and he was so good I immediately stopped playing and just said, 'You're in!' He said, 'Don't you want to do more songs?' I said, 'No, you are so damn good, I know that you are perfect for the job.' We went out and celebrated at a restaurant. I was full of ideas due to his melodic, soulful voice, and he could improvise much better than a lot of singers I knew so he had every aspect I was looking for in a singer. Very, very nice guy. Very humble. Unfortunately, two weeks later, we were told he couldn't join the band. We never found out why. I think it had something to do with the management. I was surprised and saddened by what happened, and it was a mystery to me what had gone down. It was a bad moment for me. I rated him as one of the top singers in the country."

One of the few singers that sounds amazing live.

I had the honor of working security for Survivor back in the mid 90's. I never had the chance to actually get to know Jimi, but, he was very professional and courteous to everyone around him. Such a great gift he had and I'm thankful he opted to share it with the world! Rest in peace............

Risin' up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times, it happens too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger Face to face, out in the heat Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds 'til we take to the street For the kill with the skill to survive It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger Risin' up, straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger

Rest in Peace Jimi, you are a great singer...a truly underrated singer with just an incredible voice

They sound great!

This song never gets old. Especially when one song can set you for life, then you know you can sing.

The best voice... R.I.P Jimi Jamason.. 😔

Met Jimi a few days before he died in a little restaurant in Memphis. What a blessing of a man, inspired me in my music future. I’ll see you again one day Jimi

What a sick voice! I never knew he was this great

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

The years continue to pass and this band continues to be heard year after year 2023 Survivor forever

Best Survivor concert I've ever heard! He sings this better than their first singer did.

Wow... I clicked on this by accident thinking it was the original version with Dave Bickler on vocals. When I realized it was Jimi Jamison, I almost turned it off because I thought there was no way Jamison would sound as good on the song. But I gave it a chance and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Jamison sounded very good doing it as well. I even added this one to my favorites.

wow! How the hell this is a live performance? AMAZING SOUND AND VOICE!!

2021 eternamente SURVIVOR ❤️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷

RIP JIMI JAMISON. POWERFUL BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND A SEXY MAN. THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG BY SURVIVOR. JIMI YOU'RE MISSED NEVER FORGOTTEN ONE OF THE G.O.A.T. DAMN GOOD CONCERT STILL LISTENING IN SEPTEMBER 2020 TO INFINITY

RIP Jimi! He's got a lot of great musicians to jam with now. Keep rocking forever!

Jimi has the same vocal range as Steve Perry from Journey

What an incredible performance. The energy that they generated really rocked me and the fans. Whenever I need a pick me up I listen to this song.

Essa banda era realmente sensacional ouço até hoje muito bom top 10

Amazing performance,simply legendary...unbelievable voice👍👍👍

Holy Hell that version sounds better than the recorded version....rest easy Jimi

Both Jimi and Dave have similar voices! In some songs i thought it was Dave but it was Jimi...... Cool!! :)

simplemente grandioso NEVER FORGET SURVIVOR

Por Dios!!! Que tema,, que fuerza, que armonia del bajo con la bateria , los teclados en fin pura magia!! Que privilegio escuchar este tema.. Gracias youtube ❤😂

I prefer to hear this song in Jimi voice!❤❤

J.J. had one of the best voices in Rock N' Roll history. LEGEND! R.I.P brother

Just saw Jamison attempt this song in 1982, when he first replaced Bickle, and the high notes were a travesty. He's got a great voice and he// really trained it into that range to do this song cleanly and powerfully 3 years later. Excellent work - credit where it's due!

Te recordaremos por siempre Jimi. Hoy 1 de Septiembre del 2017, a 3 años de tu partida seguimos escuchando tu voz....

If humans are really getting better, Where is the Jimi Jameson or Steve Perry of this generation?

idk if anyone notice the great snare sound and perfomance of drummer in this concert, always gives me chills when i hear that fill on 4:35, anyway, every instrument and voices its on spot, in my opinion 1985 was peak of this band, great concert. RIP Jimi, my favourite singer.

What a voice! ❤️

The world is that much of a better place because of this song.

Rest in Peace Jimi Jamison.. he was 63.. (heard about his passing just now)

This song has helped me with my mental state dealing with all my medical issues thanks again

I’ve always loved Jimi Jamison ! His voice! His talent! Sadly missed R.I.P Jimi

un clasico ojo de tigre viva survivor y jimi jamison vivira por siempre en los recuerdos de aquellos que amamos su musica

This is actually a really tough song to sing. Dave Bickler's original rendition was a classic, but Jimi is one of the few who could get close to singing it well, without murdering it + Jimi had that stage presence few can match. (Nobody in Survivor before or after came close)

Gran tonalidad de todos esos instrumentos sonidos únicos que quedaron en el recuerdo de aquellos momentos vividos..

2021 em meio a pandemia. Quem for Br dá like!

Hey man?, where's hell Balboa?.....

I love this video. It really shows Jimi Jamison's vocal capabilities and the band's tightness at the time. They looked great, sounded great and put on a great performance. Thank you to the person who posted this. Jimi is truly a lost talent and my Prayers are that he is in a better place.

What a great live version!!!

The Late Great( THAT HURTS) Jimi Jamison, and Great Survivor kicking ass for 5:37. Excellent Stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ótimo show ótima musica perfeita saudades dos anos 80 e 90 saudades SURVIVOR para sempre

Que canción por Dios! La letra y la musica son de las mejores canciones de la historia!

One of the few singers who can sing with their voice just like as their former so called original singers sung. Jami Jamison. RIP. One hell of a voice!

**bows** Rest in Peace, Jimi. My condolences to the band. I grieve with you.

Survivor é uma grande banda , só tem musicas espectaculares ❤❤👏👏👏👏

This song was brilliant in its time. Looking back, the song's content is still more relevant today than ever before. just awesome .

Jami Jamison had the powerfull voice on 80's rock era... RiP jami... ♥

This is neat. I know this song was done before Jimi was in the band, but I wanted to hear him do a version of it so this live version is perfect.

Amazing performance!!

Brilliant version of the song, might be the best! Also, no-one cares what year you’re watching/listening in! It’s a timeless song that will hopefully never be forgotten.

So sad Jimi is gone he was super talented and great voice of singing he will be missed forever but never forgotten his music and his legacy is always there we miss you and survivor isn’t the same without Jimi!

Existem músicas que são como vinho, quanto mais o tempo passa,melhor fica!

I'm from way over in the Caribbean, had the liberty of seeing him love once.. What an amazing talent, wish I could have seen him live once more. RIP... One of the best ever!!!

My deepest and sincerest condolences!! My heart just broke. Rest in Peace Jimi!! ♥

Jimi... grande cantor, grande banda! Bons tempos onde o mundo ainda não tinha se transformado neste lixo que está, com gente chata pra caraleo. R.I.P. meu querido.

Esta canción va a sonar por siempre 💯🥊🎵

Hermosa voz e interpretación. Lo dejaba todo en el escenario.

When live performance is better than recording 😍😍😍

Wow this live version is fantastic!!!

One of the best live performances of this song!

No conocía esta actuación; se me ha puesto el vello de punta y se me han saltado las lágrimas al escuchar a ese prodigio en la guitarra y esa voz tan increíble. GRACIAS, SURVIVOR, por el legado que nos dejaste!!!!! Descansa en paz, Jimi 🕊💓

Survivor una gran banda más allá de su aporte a la música de los Filmes de Rocky, una Banda solida con excelente sonido orientado hacia el Hard Rock - AOR .

Also first time I hear this live....just incredible!

Impressionante como a voz dele se parece com a voz do cantor original.

Terrific version, studio quality performance and an excellent live production recording

This is a real band. A band that worth listening and also a masterpiece song.

Ese piano de Jim Peterick suena terriblemente fabuloso 🙌🙇
