Triumph - Inside The Rock'N'Roll Machine

THE US FESTIVAL 1983. Bonus Features

[@delopez1966]

Man how I miss these guys, their music and their concerts...

[@scotabot7826]

Always loved Gil's voice. The guy has some real talent that's evident every time he opens his mouth to sing. And as a drummer, forget it, he's up there with the best rock drummers ever!!!

[@kidsworldstorytime4885]

My brother bought Rik Emmets 85 Buick Park Ave unknowingly from Riks brother. It was still registered to Rik at the time. We found guitar picks and concert programs under the back seat...hahahaha.

[@vincegedeon6583]

😂 Damn!

[@markrosenquist8259]

Very cool!

[@seamus2112ophelan]

That’s freaking awesome!

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

[@omarbc1636]

Fantastic!!!! Rick Emmett, Gil Moore, Marv Levine one of the best trios in whole history

[@dgrundman7499]

[@omarbc1636]

Oops, sorry!!! Anyway the best canadians of all time!!!

[@Cash2112]

Omar BC Wait! You forgot the 2nd guitarist, what's his name.

[@overtimefreak2685]

Ich liebe Triumph

[@Daddymon1962]

Rick Santers. Never an official member but a touring guitarist and keyboard player. Had some success with his own band Santers in Canada.

[@snoopyfake1834]

I live in corpus Christi Texas and I think it was the first time they performed in 🇺🇸..followed them ever since..greatest 3 man band

[@stevecrippen7472]

great music,,great guys,good times,,sad it did not continue but we all move on,,and just 3 ,so talented.....

[@chuckcecconi8801]

Poor kids today will never know or understand... TRIUMPH FOREVER.. Rik Emmett is the best lead man EVER

[@rickferrari9042]

They were a great great band allied forces is an awesome awesome album

[@RoasterRoaster]

This is such a great collection of their interviews 😍🥰. Thank you for posting this ❤️

[@Tone5DP777]

Rik Emmett is my greatest guitar influence! Saw them at least 5 times live in Pittsburgh PA. What great concerts!!

[@amyshinsky8220]

+Tone5DP777 I was at the same shows in PA with you! They were all awesome!

[@Tone5DP777]

+Amy Shinsky That is awesome. First time I saw them was at the Stanley Theater for the Allied Forces Tour. After that, they were at the Civic Arena.

[@waywardspirit7898]

These guys had the Magic Power. Man I love me some Triumph.

[@davide3802]

Triumph some of the best wrote and best played music of most of our lifetimes

[@AECJ1]

Great feelings remembering the band years with you. Thank you for sharing this with us

[@perrycalder6483]

I've been a fan of this band ever since the first album, Rock"N"Roll machine was my first live experience which happened in Saint John New Brunswick at the old Lord Beaverbrook Arena. They had Teaze for a back up band. We loved them both to the point where we cheered for Teaze so hard that Mike Levine came out and said and I quote " You wanna hear more Teaze?" We cheered to beat hell. Mike said "Alright were gonna give you more Teaze. That was a magical moment as the headliners gave grace to the backup band. Thank you Triumph, You are to be commended for that. Teaze Encore over: Get Ready For A Rock Show You Will Never Forget, and I never did. Forward a few years. Now we Have "THUNDER SEVEN TOUR" Absolutely the most striking innovative "Rock Show" I've ever seen in my life. I'm now almost 60 years old and that still stands today. I'm a drummer who thought the show should be put back in the show and did two years of study and apprenticeship under a pyrotechnition . Got my senior Pyro License had it for a few years but had to let it go for lack of work. This band is the quintessential format for the "Full Meal Deal" when it comes to stage acts(Lazer Light, Moving Head Light, Pyro, Stage Set Up, And ABOVE ALL HOW THEY INFLUANCED inspiration and good will to uplift the human state of mind ) TRIUMPH We Fuckin Still Love You. And that's comming from a Dude that KNOWS.

[@j.t.cooper2963]

I seen the Progressions of Power tour and the Allied Forces tour. Two of the best concerts I have ever seen. I wouldn't trade seeing those shows for anything.

[@jeffchrest3392]

Somebody, Somewhere.. Triumph always fought the good fight.. I miss seeing them live.. ❤️

[@remygaron8311]

Loved every minutes of it long live rock ´ roll👏👏👏👏👏👏🥁🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@mrlogicpants9244]

YES - at around 26:00 the bass player is wearing a KNAC shirt! I love Triumph. It is strange now that i will be 50 in a month and my kids like some of the old rock and the new rock music that i like. It is so different from when i was a teenager and my parents could not stand my music "It's too loud"... Rock On!

[@wolfpack9958]

I was lucky enough to see the thunder seven and sport of kings tours in L.A. They were better than advertised.

[@landriver1]

I saw every tour before Thunder Seven

[@carmic1001]

Wow, even Ronnie James Dio was a fan that's really cool.

[@Martythemortician1]

Love my albums...memories of the LIVE SHOWS...THE BEST...

[@42lookc]

Man, that was cool! You could tell "The Writing [was] On The Wall" by Rik's comments in the car.

[@toddmurphy390]

Wow Eugene Levy being interviewed by JD Roberts how things have changed. Amazing!!

[@geol1936]

Best live shows for pyrotechnics, lasers, and lighting, that I've ever seen. B.O.C. and Floyd close.

[@mikem.7921]

They even made kiss blush 😅

[@darlanmorais8551]

THE BEST AGE OF MY LIFE.

[@warborn_inc.]

Rik is such an under-rated player.

[@martino5457]

Love those guys. Great band. Thanks for the music Mike, Gil, and Rik.

[@yourhouseprice]

Saw this show New Years eve in Edmonton sooo long ago😅

[@JeffreyMobilia]

Rush,Triumph Guess Who. The Best From Canada

[@headbangermetal5929]

amazing band, very talented.

[@dgrundman7499]

Wow, how fuckin prophetic is the words Rik reluctantly (& somewhat dangerously from a business/contractual POV) confesses/shares with the film crew at the end here. You can CLEARLY see & hear the writing on the wall in the anguish, disillusionment, guilt, & just plain fear of the unknown & confusion Rik is dealing with at this point in the bands life; this is a man contemplating literally throwing away the penultimate rock musicians wildest dream, a 1st class no worries life of comfort & humility-destroying adoration, with NO guarantee it might be the WORST of his entire existence in the timeline of his whirlwind life. I didn't dig it, but I checked my selfishness & wholly had his back when he did make his decision to leave the band & explore more challenging & rewarding musical horizons, & I think it all worked out in the mix, wouldn't you say . . . ?

[@AwesomeDJz]

Mike Lavine kinda reminds me of Johnny Fever with longer hair of WKRP at the very end of the video.

[@philipduff8788]

Triumph and Rush two groups I never did see Live

[@landriver1]

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. You missed out.

[@iplaypearldrums7935]

Thanks,,,,,,,,,,i remember the US FEst on the radio,,,,,,,,parts of it,,anyway

[@HeRacesTheSun]

@12:35 I see a Tom Scholz 'SR&D' Rockman Rack Module, looks like the Sustainor, sweet.

[@PUBHEAD1]

JD Roberts should stiff wear that tassle jacket when reporting on the Whitehouse

[@steve4321able]

Trios are the best. I'm a drummer and I've had the fewest problems with 3 close knit guys. Less drama and a tighter unit.

[@Iler17]

My favorite guitar solo by Rik Emmett.

[@BluesLicks101]

13:56 Rik's humor discussing how "he wrote the riff" for Whole Lotta Love.

[@dennispovlak3074]

They where way ahead of there time when it came to live shows

[@jimmyk.113]

Amazing ....no cell phones. In shape people just having a good time.

[@jim2lane]

Never got to see them in concert, so I was quite surprised to see that they sometimes employed a second guitarist on some of their tours

[@waywardspirit7898]

The better option to have a 2nd guitarist to duplicate whats been recorded verses play to backing tracks. (which many bands do nowadays. Use backing tracks)

[@ronditchen6664]

These cat We're as Every bit as big As rush Just didn't have the longevity that Rush did.

[@drewlsy]

They were ahead of their time. Great musicians. Great show and team of technicians that make it happen. Side-note I always thought the bassist looked like the character from the parody film, Spinal Tap. Of course, he was the exact opposite of the movie, just looked like him is all.

[@gh4121-b5n]

Awesome album

[@petelake7373]

This band shreds all over the bigger bands of their time.

[@landriver1]

Facts

[@pensnut08]

I knew when I saw this tour something wasn't quite right... Sport Of Kings..

[@mihorsewoman]

pensnut08 What wasn't right??

[@pensnut08]

The way Rik Emmett looked. Did not seem to be enjoying it at all; going thru the motions. I was not happy that they were playing as 4 piece (just my opinion). Just made me think "What the hell is going on here??"

[@mihorsewoman]

Oh, I see!!

[@wisteria6909]

+pensnut08 Rick is the only real thing!!!!

[@The-Punnkk]

was a crap album

[@vincegedeon6583]

That was allot shit to move around for back in the day holy fuck! And that laser light system Wow!!

[@SaintMartins]

Holy Schitt's Creek ! that was unexpected. 14:34

[@tycovai]

Ever notice how Gils hair always looks exactly the same. That’s because it is.

[@kevinpatrick8788]

hes rocking that gene simmons helmet hair look

[@wisteria6909]

Triumph is Rick Emmett ....period!!!

[@mbet359]

+wisteria6909 Triumph wouldn't be Triumph without all three members being there!!

[@mbet359]

+metalheart80s Rik emmett 's solo album Absolutly ??

[@humanity6fl9]

no my friend, rick emmett is triumph!!

[@richardallonzo6734]

So how come he hasn't ever filled an arena on his own with 15,000 people like minded to you? The Magic Power is a little big thing called synergy.

[@toddmurphy390]

I kind of forgot how many songs Gil Moore did the vocals

[@timdasilva2806]

Great band period, seen them 5 times in Toronto (home) so we always got a better show! Too bad they didn't give Rick Santers more respect, he is awesome!

[@volvoman1096]

That music reporter guy in this video will never go places.......lol

[@dennisn1672]

Gil Moore always seems kind of unhappy. Never really smiles. He looks like peter fonda.

[@papapoodo6685]

Sport of Kings is perhaps the hardest rocking and most influential metal record of all time! Canada really gave birth to rock 'n' roll as we know it today...Amazing..

[@chriscassier4064]

uh, no in regards to rocking and influential.

[@papapoodo6685]

@@chriscassier4064 LOL! Dumbass

[@fbettr2627]

TSOK is one of TRIUMPH's most uneven albums. 'Just One Night' isn't TRIUMPH...it's an Eric MARTIN song.

[@badrogue66]

Anyone know the name of the little acoustic thing Rick plays at 9:30 ?

[@richcasingjr7817]

Midsummers day dream from thunder 7 album. That is such a cool tune!!

[@chriscassier4064]

Wait, what? Who is the 4th guy on stage?

[@seaskiff20]

Rick Santers

[@rgbrin]

Never a mention of the 4th member....that's sad,,,he's very talented and adds a lot...

[@AeroDude73]

He was Only used later on in Live shows and I’m sure they introduced him during the shows.

[@waywardspirit7898]

Technically he was not a member. He was only brought aboard to pl;ay live what other bands use backing tracks for. Triumph is a threesome. Not a foursome.

[@txtamaman]

It took someone like Rik to have a better voice than Gil.. Gil is a world class vocalist.. i don't feel he got the credit due sometimes as a singer.. just my opinion

[@carlwalker1623]

Nobody goes to a concert thinking about a stage show of lights, fire lasers. We want to see the band members into what they are doing and sounding great. Great songs don’t have to be number 1 on a chart. If it’s a great song it’s number 1 to the fan. Your success had nothing to do with lasers lights and explosions. You wasted a ton of money.

[@overtimefreak2685]

War das die "Stages" tour?

[@mbet359]

The sport of kings

[@kentgregory3299]

I wonder if Mike regrets wearing that dumb looking ball cap at the US Festival? I know I would.. They looked really tight at that venue though. Great time to shine. the hat....

[@bv3bv334]

Who is the second guitarist?

[@landriver1]

Rick Santers

[@coqui333]

11:18 what song is ?

[@craigm2273]

American Girls, from the Just a Game album. There's a live version on youtube too.

[@coqui333]

thanxs..

[@mattinri3566]

Beginning of the end once they added a 4th member.🙄🙄

[@glennbaltzel5237]

Triumph & Devil music? Lol

[@sweetmiracle12]

Dio 15:13

[@bb-gc2tx]

shame they never really broke huge in the united states.

[@johnfletcher948]

Triumph was never EVER close to as big as THE Mighty Van Halen kids. Liar in the documentary trying to rewrite history like Spammy Hagar.

[@The-Punnkk]

Sport of Kings awful. Their downfall selling out for top 40 rock

[@chriscassier4064]

Agreed. I left the ranks after that.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Definitely. Couldn’t even get through that one

[@stephenusaf6315]

“Surveillance” was also pop garbage. Those back-to-back sellout albums made me abandon Triumph.
