    I was the director of photography on this clip, shot in Chicago in the '80s. Great song, talented musicians and a gorgeous model. All typical recipes for a music video. Glad so many viewed and enjoyed it.

      I’m a child of the 80s (born in ‘75) and downloaded “Vital Signs” from iTunes a few weeks ago to relive my youth. Survivor, anchored by Jimi’s vocals, are one of the reasons that made that decade awesome. I never saw the video until now-an excellent clip and track which stands the test of time. Thank you for capturing an amazing and fun era with your gift and the talent and dedication of all involved. Above all, thanks for sharing... Cheers!

      that was the point of recording in the 80s. As soon as that motive was lost it was over. It was intentionally tweaked into a cultural blight so it could be weaponized into a political weapon which is all entertainment is. It highlights the small minds that lurk in shadows.

      @rustyking8783 -- Totally agree --- check out "Man Against the World", if you haven't already, that one really showcases Jimi's beautiful voice, & amazing range.... also, look for an interview with him here on YT, I think it's called "Music Legends", a series of about 12 short videos, you can pick any of them -- it's so wild to hear his speaking voice, I never in a million years would have thought the guy in the interview & the guy singing, were the same person -- his normal voice was just that, "normal", with a soft Southern drawl (he was from Memphis). Just bizarre, but in a good way, if that makes sense.

    Before the fun tunes of Bon Jovi, we had the outrageously New and different fun tunes of Van Halen. Man did I love this band!

    great group. Im 68, Im still stuck in the 60's & early 70's music,I like a lot of 80's too, lots of groups from the 60's & 70's are popular in the 80's, David Coverdale,used to sing lead vocals in Deep purple in the early 70's, Mellencamp, REO speedwagon, many others. they said in the 60's Rock & Roll will never die,listening to todays music sometimes I feel it was a lie, but I have over 500 of the ol songs from my past on a USB stick🤗
