The legendary voice of melodic rock is celebrated once again with the archival release of the Jimi Jamison collection titled ‘1998 Live Hits’. This powerful time capsule pulls from three vibrant performances in Little Rock, Nashville, and Bettendorf to showcase the undeniable vocal prowess that defined an entire generation. Fans can now experience a definitive live version of “I Can’t Hold Back” alongside a new official visualizer that highlights the electrifying stage presence of the former Survivor frontman. Backed by a seasoned ensemble of longtime collaborators like Jeff Adams and Hal Butler, Jamison delivers a setlist that bridges the gap between massive chart toppers and his own heartfelt solo work.
The thirteen-track collection features high-energy renditions of iconic anthems such as “Burning Heart” and “Eye of the Tiger” while also diving into the atmospheric intensity of “Riders on the Storm”. Listeners will appreciate the textured guitar interplay between Chris Adamson and producer Wes Henley who successfully do justice to the intricate compositions that propelled Jamison to global stardom. Every performance captures the Memphis soul and authentic connection that made this band feel more like a family than a group of musicians. From the soaring choruses of “The Search Is Over” to the nostalgia of the ‘Baywatch’ theme “I’m Always Here” this release stands as a timeless tribute to a truly extraordinary spirit.
