Man Against the World (Live) - Pride of Lions/World Stage 2015

[@fjn667]

Jim Peterik is easily one of the greatest songwriters of all time

[@DERedhead1965]

and Keyboardists…

[@oficasaperu1980]

agree!!!

[@audreyg.5620]

Toby does an amazing job on this song, but Jimi sung it like he lived it! Best voice ever Jimi.

[@VoidragonGaming]

Thank you for this song. This song saved my life more than I can remember. Toby here is absolutely Amazing.. he's got it too, that Magic!

[@davecardoza4762]

Oh man, I'm about to shed a tear here, for Jimi, the great voice from Survivor band & for those who struggle hard to get where they want to be. For Jimi is sadness cause he's no longer with us, but his memory lives on through his music. His voice will ring forever in the ears and hearts of his fans. I honor him and all of you. God bless you all. 🙏🏼☝

[@rexrathtar3893]

Worthy version and a nice tribute to Jimi. Awesome vocal on the original by Jimi who knew how to sing the hell out of a song, and Toby makes an excellent go of it here.

[@dianatripodi3502]

I grew up unwanted in an abusive household, and was suicidal since age 8. From "Muppet Movie Soundtrack", at age 4 to 8 or 9, I discovered Survivor. I got "When Seconds Count" when I was 10 years old and found such solace and hope in this song. Jimi was my childhood crush. Thank you for the inspiration, and the hope. In your music, I felt safe, like better days were possible. Much love to all.

[@chiamtutfu477]

Thank you Jim for all the songs n memories. You were the best rock ballad singer. Ever

[@halo13n]

A moving tribute to, in my and in many others opinion, one of the best voices of all time; Jimi Jamison. This really is one of Jim Peterik's best compositions (which Jimi has a credit on too) and remains one of Stallone's favourite songs too despite not making the final cut of Rocky 4. The story goes that Jimi did the vocal on this track in just one take for a demo and it was so good the producer of 'When seconds count' Ron Nevison said just use that, so he only ever sang it in the studio once. There are not many singers in history that could deliver such a powerful, emotive and challenging vocal as Jimi did, let alone in one take! He will always be remembered and his music appreciated. Thank you for this performance and the touching words at the start

[@danpearce5192]

halo13n Jimi was a legend one of the best ever

[@aliceshade6031]

One of my favorites.

[@lostgalaxy5113]

😢 nobody can sing like Jimi he was absolutely the best of the best!!

[@someonestolemyname32]

Jim Peterik, thank you and Survivor for writing and releasing this song. This is my all-time favorite song. It's even my ringtone on my phone. Also, great performance on this video.

[@adelaidedsouza8214]

I love this song so much. I've made this my personal anthem since hearing it first time. Thank you Jim Peterik & Frankie Sullivan..(How I wish you're still around JJ.. Only you can deliver it so perfectly. This is truly your song!)

[@mikelilly7285]

This has been my life anthem since it came out. 52 now and still hear it in my head.

[@DERedhead65]

this tribute is Beautiful Jim and band... Tears Jimi, we miss u

[@nickmelara78]

Toby does a hell of a job on a really demanding song. Jimi's studio version is legendary and as Jim, says he owned it. Jimi had a cool combination of gruffness, range, soul and his secret weapon was a little cry in his voice at the top of his range. Almost a yodel

[@ZenyattaFan1]

Thanks Jim. That was a very touching tribute. Kudos to Toby for his amazing job on vocals. I don't think anyone can sing this song as good as Jimi, but Toby comes close. I'm not an easy critic either, but I think Toby's vocals were superb. And Jim, I just wanted to say that I don't know how anyone can write so many incredible songs as you. You are a true musical genius. In terms of songwriting, I put you right up there with my all-time favorites, guys like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Billy Joel, Tommy Shaw, Dennis DeYoung, Roger Hodgson, Peter Cetera, and a few others. I think you are absolutely amazing.

[@halo13n]

+ZenyattaFan1 youre right, nobody can outdo Jimi's amazing vocals but anyone who comes close is brilliant in their own right. You certainly know your songwriters, Billy Joel for me is the best songwriter of all time when you consider the musical complexity, lyrical content and stylistic diversity of his catalogue (not to mention his prodigious piano ability and versatile singing). Survivor have a pretty solid catalogue too which I'm a big fan of, very strong melodies and its hard to find a bad song on any of their albums.

[@rainymoon9848]

@@halo13n I have Billy Joel's Essential Billy Joel Greatest Hits album. He definitely had huge stylistic diversity in his catalogue. Jim Peterik also has written/co-written songs in a wide variety of genres including: Blue-eyed soul/funk, folk, jazz, country, southern rock, prog rock (Tie-Dye Princess) , British invasion inspired Pop (in the band that evolved into the Ides of March), melodic rock, hard rock (i.e. the song Heavy Metal), even comedy with the song "2000 Year-Old Man" based on the famous comedy skit, I don't know what genre the song "Teenage Machine Age" would fall into, but, it is one of my favorites.

[@kendalleagerton4190]

Thanks survivors 😭😭😭

[@dustbin5044]

I am completely convinced Toby has brought back the Survivor sound, but only under a new band name. Shine on and let the music make love to you.

[@ralphespedido504]

No one can replace Jimi, but this version is as near to the original as it can get. Miss Jimi like someone I know - his presence was magically.

Fantastic!!!

[@rexbesana499]

Jim, your song writing gift is beyond 'able to compose songs' level. Quite deep and even spiritual. "The search is over" and this one are two of my top 10 songs of all time. And Jimi's vocal capability is just one in a billion - a bit (just a bit) better than Steve Perry's in my opinion.

[@PeterCoraje-ef2uq]

Absolutely

[@westst12burke56]

Very nice boys.

[@vanesbozzoli1923]

Semplicemente fantastica

[@hugensjr]

This is a great song (from the greatest Survivor album ever 'When Seconds Count)! It guided me through puberty. A great tribute to Jimi, really great performance by Toby and the whole band!! Some doubts about the audience... Even in the case that Jimi would've performed this live at his best, the audience would just share a minimal clapping, whispering to each other 'Barry Manilow is kind a hot these days....'. ;-)

[@dragonlips2005]

What a great tribute! Thanks for sharing. Two things- can @Jim Peterik confirm the scuttlebutt that Jimi basically nailed this song in one take!? I mean, it's one of my personal top 5 vocal performances of the 80's. Second- Does anyone have any footage of Survivor playing this song live? I can't seem to find anything. Was it ever played live?

[@adrianbradley8513]

I've asked this 100 times before and I'm asking it again"Why is AOR mentioned so little compared to Heavy Metal/ Rock?"The reason I'm asking for the 101st time is that this great song is only a minor Survivor song but it's brilliant.In fact when I mention AOR to most music fans they ask me"What's that?"I guess AOR is more great songs than publicity. Don't get me wrong I listened to Def Leppard as a teenager in the eighties but I think the fact that I didn't hear of the term AOR untill the nighties speaks volumes although of course I had heard of Survivor and their massive hit Eye Of The Tiger.

[@sucsess21]

Toby is awesome !

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

As a singer myself, that is singing.

[@ColeKeleher]

From a fellow singer who has been compared to Jimi Jamison a handful of times, you're right.

[@rjasontwenty1099]

yeah, ive tried this myself...some keys lower lol....

[@audreyg.5620]

Toby did a wonderful job on this, but Jimi lived it! There will never be a comparison after Jimi, in my opinion. Jimi was the best!

[@marysharp8948]

Jim God doesn't make mistakes He planned for Jimi Jamison to be in your life and professional world God Blrss you and your family you are the brains of Survivor and Crossroads Moments I am waiting for yhr Totch Cd Heaven Passes the torch is the next step after Man against yhr World and yhr first step Ever since the world began your writing is your gift and like Jimi you gave the world a great present to remember your friends who were part of your family Peace joy prayers and happiness to you and your family forever

As much as I love Toby's voice has there been a performance on this done with Jim singing lead? if so I would love to hear it

This song just DESCRIBES Alexander Rossi winning the 2016 Indianapolis 500. Against all odds, he won as a rookie on fumes. Four months ago, he didn't even dream of this year's 500.

LOVE the song, but this version falls flat cause he sings it too well😅, Jimi LIVED it, and sang it with the slightest offset that made it extra special/poignant/gripping... Don't know how else to put it... Sorry, I just love the original too much... 😘

[@audreyg.5620]

I agree! Jimi lived it! Toby's vocals are superb tho. Nice tribute to Jimi!

Is this song about the Prince of Peace? Without prejudice to someone beliefs, I think Survivor band gave us a beautiful song in reference to Him. Lyrics: Have you ever walked alone at night Like a man against the world No one takes your side A boat against the tide When your faith is shaken you start to break And your heart can't find the words Tossed upon the sand I give you a man against the world God speaking - The man against the world refers to Jesus Human - when Faith is shaken you start to break God Speaking - I give you a man that overcame the world which is Jesus Lyrics : All the people cheer 'til the end is near - when Jesus perform miracles all people are cheering and proclaiming His name until when Jesus was persecuted... Lyrics : And the hero takes a fall - when Jesus was about to be betrayed and to be taken Lyrics : Then they'll drag you through the mud because You're only flesh and blood - they don’t believe that Jesus is God because He is only flesh and He bleeds Lyrics : Alone I take my stand I'm only a man against the world But love, like a distant reminder It tugs at my shoulder It calls me home I shout, can a single voice carry Will I find sanctuary within your arms Someday when the answer's clearer someday when I even the score You'll reach and you'll find me near you Right beside you, forevermore But for now I'll walk the night alone Like a man against the world A brand new day will shine Through the avalanche oftime Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong And the fire within still burns Alone I take my stand I give you a man against the world He took all the sins in this world and He had ask God the Father if one single man can free the world from sins.But that is the will of the father and He knows when everything is done, when the score is even, that our sins are paid thru His blood, He will be at the right side of the Father forever interceding with us. And we will be having a brand new day in life if we believe in what He had done at the cross. HE overcame the world as human flesh and that is enough reminder to us, that we can also overcome the world with His Grace and mercy.

This is not just a "cover." This is a tribute to a spectacular song and a phenomenal singer, performed by people who were all family to Jimi, who had all performed alongside him. This was truly a labor of love by those who knew him. -- Paul

What a beautiful response. I comment all the time that you and Jimi made Survivor. You were the founder and the true songwriter along with the greatest vocalist ever. I know you cared about him

People may make the original choice to to get high the first time, but addiction is a disease. Even the tendency to try it is usually inherited. It speaks nothing of who one is as a person. Often, it's more related to a lack of proper mental or physical health care. My daughter is a neuroscience researcher and we have discussed the mechanisms of addiction, as I also have lost people.
