Triumph at the 83 US Festival is legendary!

[@greg2976]

👍👍💯💯🔥🔥

I was right in front of the stage.... Triumph was the best show at the US festival by far.... 3 of the funnest days of my life!

Triumph was the most underrated band of all time. They kicked ass live. There were over 350,000 people at the 1983 US Festival.

As a 50-year-old Triumph fan from northeast Ohio, this has always been one of my favorite performances. Cheers!

This show though. US Festival set is the greatest moment imo. Saw triumph 3 times and they are a much better live band than their more polished but toned down studio stuff.

Thanks! Will do!

[@Megadeth1921]

I was at this show. Sunday, May 29, 1983 Devore California, the desert of San Bernardino county. Recently turned 17 before this show and I have to say it was one of the best shows of my life. I was one of 350,000+ metalheads, rockin out and partying in the desert. Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions and Van Halen to close out the night. I’ve seen some great shows throughout my life, but this definitely was one of the best. Triumph was by far the best band that day. A really fun reaction, thanks for bringing back some awesome memories.👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙🤙

My brother was at this concert ( Us festival ) he was nearly crushed and blacked out from heat exhaustion- taken to the medical tent. He said that Triunph blew everyone away and stole the show. It really was their crowning moment in the USA and launched them in popularity.

[@donrichter3523]

This was from the 1983 US Festival, perhaps the largest attendance ever. The lineup that day in order was Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions, ending with Van Halen. At the time of Triumph’s appearance, the crowd was estimated at 350,000! Most people there that day thought Triumph had the best performance, which Eddie Van Halen took offense at, but apparently Van Halen were all drunk, so……

[@MrAitraining]

One of greatest guest sets ever at a show. This was their encore and show closer, thus the long finish. Any song you choose from their US festival set is terrific.

[@markhaus2830]

Ladies, You been missing out. I have been listening to Triumph since my early 20's. I am 66 years old now. Great Band from Canada!

They call this band Rush's little brother, cause they are also from Canada and we're not as big a band as them, but I love em.

Almost willing to bet Dad knows Triumph, maybe not. Another great band from Canada. Saw them in the Astrodome 1983 Texas Jam. A few more good ones are: Lay It On The Line Magic Power Never Surrender Thanks for the Reaction.

[@Freethoughtman]

Best Band Performance at the U.S. Festival that year and arguably, ever.

[@robertaistrope9602]

Triumph is a Canadian "export". They actually became bigger in the states than they were at home. His vocals while not identical is very similar to Geddy Lee from Rush. Both bands are great and deserve and deeper dive into their respective Songs and careers!

Awesome performance! I saw Triumph live twice in the mid ‘80s. Rik Emmett could definitely hit those high notes. He had the Farrah Fawcett hair-do for sure!❤ He was 29 yrs. old at the time of this concert, happily married and a one yr. old at home in Canada. He is now 70 yrs. old still married to his wife of 48 yrs. and has 4 adult children and 5 grandkids! (And his hair is as white as snow) still hunky though! I last saw him in 2022 and will fly from Virginia to Canada to see him again in 3 wks.! I can’t wait!! He has a memoir out now and a book of poetry. You should definitely check them out!!

[@robertfitterman3777]

Great reaction ladies! Triumph were a Canadian hard rock band that were formed in 1975 and were popular in the 70s and 80s. The band are: Rik Emmitt vocals/guitar, Mike Levine bass/keyboards/backing vocals, and Gil Moore drums/lead and backing vocals. They had a string of hits that were played often on rock radio. Other songs worth checking out are: Lay It On The Line, Magic Power, and World of Fantasy!!

In 83 there was 670,000 for t he three days. Other songs by Triumph are Lay It On The Line, Magic Power, Rock'n'Roll Machine and my favorite, The Blinding Light Show.

Rick Emmet is a genius at Guitar , Triumph's "Midsummer's Daydream" is may favorite song from them , all Acoustic Instrumental.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

I’m sure someone has already mentioned this but Rik Emmett wrote this song for his aunt that was fighting cancer at that time.

[@MegaDog555]

great band banger song

[@stevenewcomer8837]

“Lay It On the Line” is another killer song from them. Rik Emmett, the lead singer and guitarist is amazing. He makes it look easy. The 1983 US Festival was kind of a reintroduction of them to America. I think that they shocked a lot of people that day. They are one of the most underrated bands EVER! Steve Wozniak promoted the US Festival in 1982 and 1983. He was Steve Jobs partner at Apple. Wozniak hand built the very first Apple personal computer in Steve Jobs parents garage if I remember correctly.

[@markmontgomery5418]

Always enjoy it when i see someone discover triumph for the first time. Been a fan since 78. Rik emmett is probably the most talented musician and singer ive ever seen. Thanks for this.

Triumph was the headliner at my very first big concert in 1978. That was at the Canada Jam at Mosport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario. I love Triumph to this day and is just one of the great Canadian bands on my playlist.

[@watrandy99]

Canadian band; they have many, many great hits; the album came out senior year of HS (Allied Forces); was instantly a favorite in 1980-81; he wrote this song for his grandmother who was fighting cancer; read the lyrics through with this in mind and it'll make you cry ... well, at least it may have made me ...

[@chadmagee1792]

My all time favorite band.. love seeing others reacting to such amazing talent..

Saw them four times..first time ,78 or '79 in Evansville,IN. The band is fantastic...Rik Emmett is on a whole other level...workd class guitar and vocals!

[@toddstevens13]

Defining moment for Triumph, they stole the day, everyone after them felt the pressure and while they were solid it was Triumph's day. This after they flew 3000 miles red eye after performing the night before, then right back on the plane and back the 3000 miles for a show on their tour the next night.

[@jamesgoldman6942]

Magic Power from the same LIVE @ The US Festival and Lay It On The Line from LIVE @ the US Festival are two of their greatest hits. They blew every band including headliners Van Halen off the stage with their performance at the 500.000 + in attendance festival. Thanks for playing Fight The Good Fight this song was the ultimate closer at the entire show.

They were one of those bands that just pumped positivity to the crowd if you were to listen to what that song is saying it is a fantastic song.

triumph the definition of rock stars, 3 member band, think about that, the lead singer rik emmitt one of the best vocalists, and lead guitar in all of the 70's, you probably have heard lay it on the line or magic power, look at those from this same 1983 us festival in san bernardino ca i saw triumph live twice, after their 79 its just a game album where every track is fire and the 82 allied forces album, super incredible band live my favorite songs are its just a game and suitcase blues from its just a game, so happy you're exploring this band, they were huge 2 me in my teen years, wait till you hear rik sing lay it on the line, in private listen to the whole its just a game album, just as good as boston's 76 debut album, 70's and 80's rock n metal thee best music ever created

[@sergebrunet4218]

proudly Canadian ! thanks !

[@craigslue]

These guys should have been WAY bigger than they were. They had an image problem They were kind of the good guys of hard rock/heavy metal. Plus, most if not all of their songs were uplifting feel good songs. This was a huge heavy metal concert and they knocked it out of the park! In my opinion Rik Emmett may be the best lead singer lead guitarist combo of all time. His voice is just amazing but he's also one hell of a guitar player. In this same concert he plays his electric guitar like a classical guitarist and it is just amazing. You need to check out Lay it on the line. You may have heard this song possibly. It's a song at least for me I just can't forget.

[@anthonyfamularo8875]

Middle-aged Canadian here! It was a rare day growing up in the 80s that I *didn't* hear at least one Triumph song on the radio. (Along with legendary Toronto boys Rush, of course!) So Donna, I'm guessing you know the great Rik Emmett's voice from "Magic Power," which was by far their biggest hit here (among many), and was probably their biggest song south of the border as well. If you hear that song, you'll probably remember it, and your daughter and granddaughter will love it! PS: Also, Donna, Since you're younger than me, it's completely impossible for you to be a grandmother. Just ask my cat how irresponsibly youthful I still am! Oh shit, I forgot to feed the cat. Anyway, not quite ready for kids here.

I'm 51 and only just recently saw this video and this performance somewhere else. I've always liked Triumph and I've been a guitarist since I was around 8 or 9 years old, but hadn't seen this. When I saw it I couldn't believe how awesome it was and couldn't believe how he got that tone for his guitar. I asked around and about three months later I bought similar equipment to get the sound. I got pretty close with my limited budget. I'm happy. And I'm happy you all did this reaction. Love! Edit: Donna, these guys are from Canada, as some have mentioned, but the voice you recognize might be Geddy Lee's voice from Rush. Rik (the singer/guitarist) took a lot of inspiration from Geddy. Both being from Canada. Again, love you all!
