Lyrics:
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

When a live performance is as good if not better than the studio version than you realize the greatness of a band.
Well said. Jimi had an incredible voice and it was as strong the day he passed away as it was when he was in his teens. He was an amazing man, father, husband, grandfather, step father, musician, humanitarian and friend. I will miss his friendship, laugh and of course his music. He will always be in my heart.
Thanks for replying means a lot to me. I grew up listening to him in my teens. I played "I see you in everyone when my dad passed away 4 years back. I loved his voice and it so good to know he had a kind personality. Thank you. Paige stacks
You're very welcome Abdul Sahib
I prefer the original version tho
Yea I agree I think this actually sounds even better than the recorded version
Why the hell does Japan always have the best concerts? This sounds amazing
naturegirl2110 japan have all the best thing the food peoples music porn nuclear meltdowns bombings and more.
Belarus anarchy communist 1991 never forget PORN
Like a quote from a Pink Floyd song "Oh those Wiley Japanese"..
Because the fans there are respectful so i guess those bands always give their absolute best and look forward on coming back.
Small paenus = more refined ears. Where you lack in one aspect, your body heightens skills in other areas.
R.I.P Jimi Jameson. Never forgotten. Extremely talented. Huge loss
I think you mean Jimi Jamison.
I though its Jenna 😂
Love seeing the band and Jimi hammer this out live.
No autotune crap, pure passion.
80’s rock!
Yep it’s cool to see music as good live as on record.
They actually ripped of Pink Floyd's intro to another brick in the wall 2 & based the entire song on that riff..🤣
@Rcaneneophyte8906 sounded good though and different... the might be influenced but they created a song out from a song that is already good... what good about you is your a loser wants to start a fight to prove your dumb point...
@@Rcaneneophyte8906sounds more like the intro to I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You by The Alan Parsons Project
@@Rcaneneophyte8906 Do you have any sources to back that claim up? Would like to look into it, because when I look around I don't find information that back your claim. But any link/name of source would be nice! If not i'm calling bs for obvious reasons.
His voice was amazing....not many singers can perform this good nowadays.... absolutely a legendary band....
His voice ‘IS’ amazing.
@@user-ej4ip9el1w He said "is" because Jimi Jamison is dead.
@@bobbygob292 you mean ‘was’ right? And Ik what he means but I just wanted to say his voice is still amazing
@@user-ej4ip9el1w yes
Best voice in rock history, IMHO! Rip, Jimi 😭
The rock singers in the 80s could actually sing.
@Dan King Not that I recall....
Jimi Jamison & Survivor was a band to be reckoned with!!! They could hold their own with any of the bands of the day...
@Dan King A lot more in the 1990's though😂
then autotune arrived :-(
100%. They were used to the live shows more and could actually sing not like today’s “artists” that do one gig a year
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.
I soooo agree with you. I was sad to learn he passed away years back.
Not one of, the most underrated
WHY DO PEOPLE keep saying these guys were underated? I keep seeing that posted, we're you people even alive when this band stayed parked on the top of the charts for months and months, what the he'll do u people mean underrated? Eye of the Tiger was number one for 6 weeks, they were of course featured in the Rocky soundtracks as well as others, they sold out every show and big arenas for at least 20 years during the 80s and 90s. Who's under rating them?
I cannot state regarding success in the USA, I am from the UK and other than Eye Of The Tiger over here Survivor are generally considered to be "one hit wonders". Maybe 2 hits at most because I don't know how well Burning Heart did over here
@@Paul-ks6re Eye of the Tiger is a rock anthem, having won many accolades, including a Grammy - don’t think anyone considers the song underrated. The studio version had David Bickler on vocals.
As a rock vocalist, Jimi didn’t really get his due, that’s the point here.
One of the best vocals.RIP Jimi Jamison
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.
Right? He really was something special, and this is one of so many performances that demonstrated that.
@@deprofundis3293
Exactly ! Jimi had that special voice !
Он разве баритон?
@@NBars117 Да. переведи это
In concerts, they never transposed their songs to a lower key (to make it a bit easier to sing), and he struggles quite a bit sadly. But, in the studio when he’s had time to prepare and all and only needs to sing for a few minutes, he’s very good, and one of my favourite singers to listen to.
Forgive the translation, I don’t speak Russian very well.
Absolutely not a baritone.
2020 still listening, bring back 80's
They the best
@@argeniscastrolopez3284 and the 70s, too.
@@palg123 The 70's was my favorite decade for great music...
hi pretty
Sends me back to d best time of my life.
This kind of music, especially from the '80s, really stands the test of time.
Always great to listen to.
I couldn’t agree more. One reason I am glad for the social media era is that I get to relive these amazing performances from before I was even born. This one here, Queen/Freddie… the people of the 80s don’t realize how well they had it! 🤪
Daqui a 50 mil anos se ainda tiverem acesso ao UA-cam essa música ainda será perfeita
He has the most underrated voice in Rock
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.
He could sing it until his death when Bickler lost his high voice long ago.
Yeah that's right! but i think Burning Heart it's harder to sing
@@owland_yt no
@@gitarzan99 Bickler sang it so well in his sixties stop overrating Jimi
@@thunderviperx4009 Bickler has to sing in a lower key now. He only continues because he needs the money.
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 was the cause of his death? And, was he a good person? Curious to know about him.
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.
I feel free, something like I don't know... This song frees our insides, it's very good.
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!!!!
Rest in Peace Jimi, you are a great singer...a truly underrated singer with just an incredible voice
This song is so badass, it always makes you feel like you could tear the whole world down
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."
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
The beauty of the video is that there is no phone to record. :)
the audience listens only. p.s What a voice!
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............
thebeastlacey .
Jimi wasn't with Survivor in the mid 90s.
Bob Wolenski Jimi was touring as Survivor with musician friends he hand picked from about '93 on, and Jim Peterik, Frankie, and Dave Bickler also toured as Survivor at the same time. There was a lawsuit over the rights to the name, and Jimi won the rights in court!! Way to go Jimi!! ❤️Then in '99 Frankie sued again and another judge gave him the copyright. So Frankie immediately asked Jimi back to the band and fired Dave yet again in '2000, and Jimi stayed with the band until he left again after the Reach album. He came back in late 2011, and stayed until his heartbreaking passing in 2014. RIP beautiful, sweet Jimi!! 💔
@@CleoPenelope111 Thank you, I know their history. One time I gathered up a group of friends from college back in 1994 to go see Survivor at the Palos Hills Il friendship fest. Some of those friends had been with me the prior summer and saw Jimi Jamison's Survivor in Naperville and we all thought they were great. So, thinking this would be the same band, we invited a larger group in 1994. They all came to my parents' house and to psyche ourselves up we watched Survivor videos. Then we get to the concert and what a letdown! Yes, it was the "real" Survivor but Dave Bickler just didn't have Jimi's charisma and couldn't perform many Jimi's era Survivor songs very well. One of my friends started yelling "we want Jimi!". This went on for a bit and I happened to glance behind me and a man was getting up to leave with his kid. I looked at the man and my jaw fell open. It was Jimi Jamison, who gave me a grin and walked away.
@@bobwolenski5720 I'm not sure how to respond to your post.
I love both, Jimi Jamison & Dave Bickler.
Jimi was a real southern gentleman...
One of the few singers that sounds amazing live.
This song has helped me with my mental state dealing with all my medical issues thanks again
The best voice...
R.I.P Jimi Jamason..
😔
Gaston Colman
You should listen to his prior band Cobra, you wouldn’t recognize him
Manny Pacquiao and Stalone immortalized him..
@@adamtson Jimi isn't the original singer of this song, the OG singer is still alive they should've took him in the fight intro
I think Jimi Jamison is the original who sing this. He is the better to sing this Eye Of The Tiger last 1980. He has a beautiful voice RIP..Jimi Jamison. The great legend
@@noemibagalawis1301 nope,it was bickler
This is the first time that I hear this excellent classic live performed and it sounds awesome!!!
RoccoSoundTube 80's music buddy
Alexander Abel Absolutely, man!
RoccoSoundTube What about classic Drake?
RoccoSoundTube HEAR THAT !! great performance now I feel pumped to step in the ring[or at least host a boxercise class!!] sad to hear that JIMI has passed on!! hope he's in a better place now!!
Fluffy KingDom Eye of the tiger
Best Survivor concert I've ever heard! He sings this better than their first singer did.
Agree.
No way
Nope!
Nothing compares to the original
@@Dominic4419Listen to Burning Heart and you will change your mind
This song was brilliant in its time. Looking back, the song's content is still more relevant today than ever before. just awesome .
The years continue to pass and this band continues to be heard year after year 2023 Survivor forever
Singers from 80´s didn´t need autotune beause their voice were real
1:45 this song has been inspiring to me during my medical issues thanks again
オイラは中学3年生の時に流行りました。毎日ラジオで聴いておりました。当時の感動を忘れられません。
This song never gets old. Especially when one song can set you for life, then you know you can sing.
J.J. had one of the best voices in Rock N' Roll history. LEGEND!
R.I.P brother
RIP Jimi! He's got a lot of great musicians to jam with now. Keep rocking forever!
Amen to that

Edward Jackson I do apologise. I was mixed up..
The world is that much of a better place because of this song.
80s had great music, I feel sorry for the kids today.
I’ve always loved Jimi Jamison ! His voice! His talent! Sadly missed R.I.P Jimi
Teresa Rose Jimi was the most talented male vocalist ever, and a beautiful man on the inside and outside! I love and miss him terribly! RIP sweet Jimi! 💔💔
@@CleoPenelope111 totalmente de acordo. Jimi era maravilhoso
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.
This is a real band. A band that worth listening and also a masterpiece song.
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
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!
RIP Jimi, you are better than all the shit musicians we have today!
also RIP michael jackson.
Well said 🙏
not shit bro, so very,very shitty and suuuuuucks music today.
People should respect the time period of all generations because for them this is a very important time period they grow up. Important to remember.
Maybe not that
This song has really helped me with my medical issues thanks again

I Love This Group so Much Jimi sounds Amazing.... I Love You Survivor I’ve followed you since 1982 nothing will ever change ❤️
Usually he is not the original singer that sing that Song, but come on man,, he really nails it,,
Jami Jamison had the powerfull voice on 80's rock era... RiP jami... ♥
One of the great voice in Rock n roll history.
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!
Amazing performance,simply legendary...unbelievable voice👍👍👍
His voice is amazing 🤩
Holy Hell that version sounds better than the recorded version....rest easy Jimi
wow! How the hell this is a live performance? AMAZING SOUND AND VOICE!!
Wow the band that never fade...long live survivor...
Jimi being a baritone, he still comes in and actually tops the original - Which was written for a tenor voice! That is raw talent 🙏
@Ice Bear he is bruh
Jimi was a TENOR, definitely not a baritone, lol.
@@laurastuhler4791 Lol to yourself 👌
Jimi was a baritone. That's why he often had to use falsetto - Especially when singing some of the Dave Bickler era songs. Jimi had that very wide and thick sound because of his baritone voice, having more surface area on his vocal folds. That meant he had to work harder to reach the high notes that came more naturally to Bickler. The same pitch still sounded "darker" for Jimi, which is another baritone trait. People often compare Jimi to Steve Perry, the most famous tenor. You can clearly hear the difference though, in that Perry was more natural in the upper register, making jumps up and down the octaves. Jimi prefered to keep it a step lower, to properly take advantage of his wider vocal folds. Listen to "The Search Is Over" and you'll hear it. Baritone through and through
@@laurastuhler4791 yes he was. Freddy mercury as a good example was also a baritone who sang in tenor
@@laurastuhler4791 he is a baritone bruh
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!!!
What a great live version!!!
Amazing, yesterday, today & forever!
One of the most amazing guitar riffs ever.
What a sick voice! I never knew he was this great
When live performance is better than recording 😍😍😍
Marlon Anthony Hell yeah!! That's what my son and I both say all the time! We love Jimi's strong, amazing voice, have had a crush on him since the 80's, such a beautiful, sexy man with the greatest voice of all time IMHO! RIP sweet Jimi! You are very much loved and missed! 💔
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)
The rock singers in the 80s had so much talent 🤘 🪨 🎸 🙌 😎
One of the greatests songs of all time.. RIP Jimi, thanks for your voice
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU JIMI!!!
Jimi Smashed it and blew Bicklers version away
This live performance is even better than the studio recorded version, and the studio recorded version was already great.
His voice is amazing!
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.
Boy, ain't that the truth??? Thank you for saying what I feel...
A true and timeless classic, it was the soundtrack to so many people's lifes. Rip Jami Jamison.
One of the best live performances i have ever seen
Before autotune, pure talent. This song is too good.
Amazing performance!!
What a voice! ❤️
Never heard a live this good!
What a brilliant song!. Incredible voice
Amazing film capturing what we would not be able to see otherwise. What a lineup....Droubay, Ellis, Sullivan, Peterik, Jamison.
THE BEST SONG IN THE HISTORY
That solo was of the chain what a fantastic live version of this song
The 80s best years of my life!....
Terrific version, studio quality performance and an excellent live production recording
Rest in Peace Jimi Jamison.. he was 63.. (heard about his passing just now)
What a voice... i been a fan since day one, the way he sounds live is like the studio version , amazing and spectacular. Sadly he is no longer around and we will never hear or see him perform again. Rip idol, youre sorely missed.
Survivor was a great band 🎸🤘
Wow this live version is fantastic!!!
I listen to it every day, best version ever
Props to the guitarist, every live show I've watched he seems to effortlessly play and bop around the whole time.
This Classic hit song hit No 1 on Americans Top 40 countdown back then. Awesome Band
RIP Jimi........what a class act, a true professional !
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.
jimi jamison is just extraordinary
remembering this song when i was in high school. i´ve heard this almost everyday. thank you for uploading
That voice!!!
One of the best live performances of this song!
He had what a stage presence! 🙌 He always performed this song with a different spin all the time!
He use to put so much heart, soul & energy into his performances that when he sang you felt all the emotions🤘❤🎶🎤
Jimi's energy could get you on your feet & rocking anytime, no matter the song🙂
Legend forever and always....
THANKS for all the great memories your music has been a part of in my life Survivor.
I can’t put a price on those amazing thoughts of the past!
God-like live vocal capability this man has.
Is this one the original singer?
No, Dave Bickler was Survivor's singer when this song was recorded for the album and movie. But Jimi soon replaced him and did an amazing job as is apparent.
My deepest and sincerest condolences!! My heart just broke. Rest in Peace Jimi!! ♥
What a amazing voice and well missed.
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 ❤😂
