Survivor - High on You 'Live in Japan 1985' (Guitar Cover)

I got the albums Vital Signs and When Seconds Count at the same time and I listened to the latter first as it had the song 'Is this Love' (which I have also covered). When I came to listen to Vital Signs and I heard this song, I could've sworn I had just heard it in the form of the song 'How Much Love' from When Seconds Count. I regard 'High on You' as the older sibling to that song and I think I prefer the chorus on this one. Love hearing Jimi's voice, especially live where he seems so effortless. Frankie has a cool tone on this album and the next, somewhat softer Strat style but really suits and he uses similar phrases on both. Good example of finding parts that fit.

Other Survivor and Jimi covers:

I use a Jackson Dk2 Dinky, into a Boss Me50 for all my tones, into a Palmer Pdi-09 speaker sim (to simulate an amp), into a Focusrite Scarlet interface, into Logic Pro X where I mix it with the track using some reverb and EQ.

I don’t mind admitting that watching your videos is one of my guilty pleasures. I see this Jackson and I know it’s you. Awesome work as always

Dude, I hit the thumbs up as soon as I saw bwm5150 and the song choice! You were born in the wrong decade, lol.

Eye of the tiger was my favorite Survivor song....until I heard High on You, which is now my new favorite, and your rendition definitely confirms this! Amazing!!

[MrSatanislav]

Yaaaay, Survivor! It's not the cover, it's the guitarist =)

[michaelburgoyne]

Survivor is one of my all time favorite bands. Jimi Jamison as a solo artist rocks too. Guitar was like a magic wand in this band. You as usual play with your own magic wand.

"Never too late" another wonderful song from Jimi Jamison.🎸

Saw survivor in a supergroup form called “the sign” at the Gods AOR festival in 2000 in Wigan... they were brilliant and absolutely blew the roof off the venue. Got to meet Jim peterik as well, lovely fellow. Amazing job as always Ben and also reminding us of these deep cuts!

I remember watching this concert when it premiered. It was a great show. Awesome cover Ben!
RIP Jimi.
