2.0 out of 5 stars A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, June 22, 2006

By	ADMDBR "ADMDBR" (Shawnee, KS.) - See all my reviews

This album is a huge disappointment because of Jimi Jamison's vocals. To say he had an "off night" is an understatement. Survivor is one of my four favorite bands and I've seen them in concert several times. I've never heard Jimi sound anything like this. He missed more notes than he hit. Surely there are other recorded concerts that could have been released as a live album. The rest of the album sounds fine. This concert was obviously in support of their Vital Signs album but I would like to hear a live album that has some songs from When Seconds Count and Too Hot To Sleep. Maybe the band can put something together from a concert supporting Reach. I am not aware of any other live CDs from Survivor - that is the only reason I can imagine purchasing this train wreck.

1.0 out of 5 stars Painful and Depressing, November 8, 2005

By	Mark Given - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a huge Survivor fan and can listen to the album cuts of Jimi Jameson's voice for hours on end, so I wish I could be as as forgiving as the previous reviewer. I'm a musician and know that most all of us will have bad performances, times when we count our lucky stars that no one was recording. Sadly much of this album sounds like one of those times. Frankly I'm shocked that this was released. The vocals are so bad I feel cheated even though I only paid $7 for it. The instrumental playing is excellent though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for a live recording., June 27, 2005

I like Survivor and have most of their cd's. This is a live cd, warts and all. I like it because of the honest performance, Jimi Jameson's voice is mostly great, but he occasionally hits a flat note or his voice cracks. I saw them in concert once and this reflects the show I saw, and liked, accurately. If you're a fan of live cd's and Survivor, you should like most of the performances here. Otherwise, buy the greatest hits.
