Fantastic videoclip...the wonderful 80's

[@VictimOfChanges1776]

Jimi was something special for sure. Record industry antics aside, this album was perfect for the time and era it was released. This shit should be on par with "Girl Can't Help It" and while I can't stand Journey comparisons, Survivor had that 1v1 with them in spades at this time period. I wish though that Jimi could have been exposed at a larger level as a vocalist; his versatility and tone was unmatched. I hope future generations can rediscover this stuff and discern something greater from it in the long run.

[@scotabot7826]

I've liked Survivor since 1982, but they are small time compared to Journey. Sorry. Also, "Raised on Radio" came out 2 years before this. Album sales speak for themselves!!

First video ever for Kyle Woodring, their drummer for a few years. He was 21 at the time and went on to play with John Mellencamp, George Michael, Deana Carter, Dennis Deyoung and many others. Kyle died five years before Jimi, almost to the day. It's great to see this video and re-live the moment it hit MTV in 1988.

+Kirk Woodring Kirk does any of Kyles equipment or perhaps even this drumset or the bass drum heads remain? I met him at the Survivor show in Hanover park IL in summer of 1995, he was very friendly and was about the ONLY GUY who hung around after the shows. He also on the front of the stage banged his sticks against the bass players bass and played some kind of solo and it was awesome. I wish videos existed of this. Let me know if anything may exist of this great guy...
