Survivor's 2nd show.

http://www.guitars101.com/vb/bootlegs-o ... songs.html

First song is JJ's version of "ever since the world began" (think that it's the Lock Up Soundtrack)
Second song with JJ's on vocals (2001 version)
Third song is mentionned an acoustic version with Dave Bickler on vocals, but i didn't recognize Dave's voice , is there anybody who can confirm it or not? This version include acoustic guitar with violin.

This is not Dave Bickler singin'..

I'm inclined to think it IS Bickler on vox for that acoustic version. There's parts of it where it does sound like him, like the "of the tiger" part after the EEEEYYYYEEEEE--especially the last one, and the end of the song It if is him, his voice has definitely changed a bit. Anyone have some info on when this was recorded?

[FalconONE]

I'M really not sure.. if you want to compare:

David Bickler - Hold On [Demo]
This s a demo song from Bickler in 2003

After hearing him you noticed that the version "acoustic" is similar but it is not David.

[Richard Epps]

Fred I think you are right it isnt him,I do remember there being an acoustic version with Dave floating around in the 90s from VH-1 80s special thing.
Thanks for the uploads they are great

Listen really carefully from the 3:10 mark on. If it wasn't for that section, there would be no chance that it was him---but that sounds like Dave Bickler, which throws the rest into question. At any rate, if he is singing, I would say '92-93, or possibly before. No chance at all that it is a recent recording.

I'm still not convinced 100% either way since 99% of the song doesn't sound like him, but that one line is dead on, and that is where the controversy begins.

On other subjects, was anything other than the following released of those solo demos...Alone, Hold On, Magic, Only You? Those are the only clips I have.

[FalconONE]

kgdjpubs, do you have the complete songs of Hold On, Magic, Only You and Alone or just the previews ?

Thanks

Thanks

unfortunately, no...just the short clips

[Eyeof]

Guys...after listening...i think it's probably dave...it's a little different, but he really does hit those notes....

As one guy said...if it's not...they should find the guy, i like the way he sings it much better than mcauley....

[Eyeof]

also, on the dave solo stuff i think it was:

Alone, Hold On, Magic, Only You and Lorale....

There are also some rare Survivor stuff, not on Fire Makes Steel, that some call FMS II: Including Overload, Round and Round and I Don't.....

These are rare, but I saw the list of them on Flip's website...although he says that he does not have them either...so who knows...

I guess they are like the Vital Signs Demos with Bickler...that I just can't find anywhere...

[Eyeof]

guys...i'm almost sure that it's Bickler and I sent the file to someone who actually knows him and they confer it's bickler....

that's the best i can do...

Thanks for taking the time to get to the bottom of this very small debate. I thought Bicklers voice was very recongnizable just a different style. Any chance you can find out when it was recorded?
