Hey guys, I saw Survivor here tonight – and they ROCKED. I’m a big fan of Frankie Sullivan, so I was looking forward to seeing him play, but the whole band was great. One hit after the next, and they were all a little ‘heavier’ than the radio versions. Very cool. Of course, “Eye of the Tiger” was the best when I was a kid, when Rocky was beating up Clubber Lang, but there are a ton more great tunes, too, from before and after. Frankie Sullivan was on fire all night, he always plays just what the song needs. A sweet night of loud guitars.

i thought this thread was about the TV show ..

Funny you said that Lance a few years back I read Frankie sued CBS because of the programs name. I believe it was thrown out of court if I remember correctly. They were always a good band. I was fortunate enough to see them in clubs before they finally signed a deal. Also knew all of the original members quite well. They have always been one of my favorites.

I saw Survivor at a free show in Japan in the mid-90s. The guitarist was a young guy who was an unknown – but he absolutely killed all night long. I wasn’t into videotaping shows at the time, but I wish I had been, because there were people openly taping at this show. I have never searched around for it though. 1996 at Atsugi Naval Air Station.
