Jimi Jamison | Live At Firefest 2010 | Full DVD

Heard by over a billion people a week as the voice of the classic theme tune 'I'm Always Here' from the global smash hit show Baywatch, and gracing the soundtracks of iconic films like The Karate Kid and Rocky IV, Jimi Jamison was one of the best and most respected singers of the genre.
Incredibly, despite all this success, he had never played the UK before, something that the organisers of the annual Firefest show in Nottingham decided to put right. Jimi did not disappoint - not content playing a blistering set spanning his hit-strewn career, he also chose to steal the show with a performance that many regard as the greatest ever witnessed during Firefest's seven year history.
Backed by an energetic band comprised of young rockers H.E.A.T. and guitar hero Tommy Denander, the full concert was captured on a long sold out DVD.
Featuring amazing renditions of 'I'm Always Here', 'Eye Of The Tiger', 'High On You', 'Burning Heart' and much more!

Jimi's voice was incredible no matter what band he was in. This concert is so amazing, especially because he was 59. He was a superstar and is totally unforgettable. I am in awe of his voice every single day. And, of course, the entire band is simply fantastic. Such great energy at this concert! 💕

The thing about Jimi is you can understand every single word coming out of the best voice ever.

[@aliceshade6031]

I've been told from folks who knew him that that was something that he always tried to achieve in his vocals.

[@aliceshade6031]

@DB Graves I couldn't agree with you more. I never had the pleasure of meeting Jimi but I could tell he was a southern gentleman from the get go.

[@aliceshade6031]

I've been told by folks who knew him personally that he was very cognizant of how his voice (enunciation) came across on the recording. He wanted the words of the song to be clearly heard.

[@aliceshade6031]

@DB Graves I agree. Jimi was a very humble man, truly, deserving of all the honors & accolades that we could give to him. May he rest in peace in Heaven!

[@lehcaraz1]

Jimi started out doing radio announcements and promos. He spent lots of time as a young boy and youth listening to the radio and practicing commercial announcements and singing along with songs.

[@deniseallen5233]

You are so right. Many singers at his age starts to lose their vocal range. For Jimi is very minimum, still has great singing voice.

Ah, the memories! Vital Signs and Eye of the Tiger were two of my favourite (and best) albums of the eighties. And here we have Jimi in 2010, almost 30 years later, singing as well as ever. Such a sad loss. Kudos to the band, also. They are tight, and have that 80s Survivor sound nailed, especially the lead guitarist. This is now on my playlist. Oh, and kudos to Sly Stallone for giving Survivor a leg up with Rocky. Although, with a band as talented as them, I firmly believe they would have still hit the big time on their own merit, eventually. Still, it shows Sly has good taste in music! 🙂 Edit. Just did some research on Tommy Denander. No wonder I was impressed..they guy is a guitar legend!
