I've been screaming Triumph into the comments void for like 6 months. So, so glad we're here now.. Seriously hope you check out more. "Fight the good fight", and especially "Magic Power" (of the music)

[@FinallyTuned]

“Magic Power” is a great Triumph song about music.

[@444dkm]

Love this choice

[@iron_rush_theater1246]

Little Boy Blues, Time Cannon!

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

Spellbound

[@Mr2012Ultra]

Watch their performance from the US Festival 1983 I believe. They blew the crowd away. Go 🇨🇦

[@TruckerMike_FL]

"Fight the Good Fight" written by Triumph vocalizt/guitarist, Rik Emmett for his aunt who was battling cancer is a phenomenal song.

[@johnniecalhoun5381]

Another great 3 piece band out of Canada . All 3 are masters of their instruments and can sing ! Rush comes to mind !

[@boywonderrr71]

Triumph are so UNDERRATED!

[@Renkk17]

Triumph another Great Canadian Band!

[@herbconner8066]

Do they have others? Absolutely! Hold On. Magic Power. Fight the Good Fight. Never Surrender. Say Goodbye. World of Fantasy. Rock Out Roll on. Time Goes By. Somebody' Out There. And many more.

[@wolfpack9958]

Allied forces, all the way, tears in the rain, ordinary man. Triumph is epic.

Everything they recorded was rock gold! They were Rush 2 And I love Rush!

[@allenruss2976]

Yay. Some classic Canadian power rock from 1979. Now try to watch Magic Power, Fight the good Fight and Hold On.

[@oakland-as-diehard6717]

One of the most underrated bands in the 80’s and another power trio band from Canada. They got several BANGERS

[@bettyrose959]

Underrated by who?

[@titusgeorge9280]

You definitely have to check out “Fight the Good Fight”, “Magic Power”, “Say Goodbye “, “I Can Survive” and, when the record company said they couldn’t write hit songs anymore they did “Somebody’s Out There”. So glad to see you reacting to Triumph, so many great songs.

[@richardcranium5048]

Young Enough To Cry... Suitcase Blues...Just A Game

[@titusgeorge9280]

@@richardcranium5048 yeah, there are so many…I actually only knew a few of the hits growing up and only recently did a deep dive through their whole catalog due to doing an “album ranking” exercise with friends, and found so many great songs that I now love.

[@DanaStout72]

Tine Goes By is a fantastic song, but it would be next to impossible to pull off live. Loved Triumph since the first time I heard them in the 70's

[@CeilisWorld]

@@richardcranium5048 Love Suitcase Blues; a much underrated song

[@samsonjpedroza]

"Fight the Good Fight", LIVE VERSION .... PURE FIRE FROM THESE CANADIAN ROCKERS !!!

[@glenrichardi7052]

Triumph is criminally underappreciated but not underrated by anyone that hears them.

[@Teresa-xq5ut]

The soundtrack of the 80's. I miss those days of great music, long hair, no cell phones, no internet and family.

[@loisr3970]

Yes! another Canadian epic rock band, so many great cuts. Excellent concerts... ohhh wait til fight the good fight! cheers

[@robl1613]

Great Canadian trio...check out thier live US festival 1983...lay it on the line....fight the good fight....magic power....Rik Emmit is one underrated guitarist who effortlessly hits those high notes.

[@billkeithchannel]

Triumph was 70's and was the influence for the hit-makers of the 80's rock/metal.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

The 1983 US Festival live version is a must see. Also their song “Fight the Good Fight” from the US Festival.

[@sean3038]

Their whole set is a must see.

[@kerrytrager4957]

Rik’s guitar solo at the US festival is amazing

[@shirleybarclay5631]

Agree! 1983 live at US festival...Lay it on the Line...must see!!!!❤

[@andre.gorley]

Thank you so much for checking up Triumph. I'm Canadian and these guys were along with Rush and Saga the music of my teenage years. The singer is Rik Emmett. But wait, the drummer, Gil Moore also sings and has a fantastic voice as well. Mike Levine, bass, is highly regarded as one hell of a player. All in all it's a fantastic band that should've been a lot more popular.

[@odochartaighofodonegal9815]

I'm not gay but I love you for covering this- Rik Emmet is so under-rated, as both a vocalist and guitarist.

[@JB-un2iv]

U sure?

[@FloridaMonty]

That’s not the word on the street. 🤷‍♂️

[@Frostrazor]

@@JB-un2iv one can hero worship without being gay. hehe

[@JB-un2iv]

@@Frostrazor no doubt but you dont typically have to caveat your statement. Shits suspect..

[@andrewmerzke5482]

This is “the other” Canadian power trio. I grew up in Western NY, so we got a lot of Canadian content. These guys and Rush were always knob twisters to crank up. I got to see Rik do a jazz gig about twenty years after Triumph. Him and a side man doing electric and acoustic guitar. He was humble enough to let the side man take all the hot licks because he knows who he’s Rik Emmitt. He did a three song set of Triumph songs in an acoustic and destroyed it. Absolutely amazing show and performer.

[@stoned-soup]

Rik Emmett is still out there performing and is a super nice guy. He did go solo after Triumph and put out over 10 albums. My favorite singer and guitarist all wrapped up in one guy. Although he is best known as a rock guitarist, his playing style incorporates rock, blues, jazz, classical, bluegrass, and flamenco techniques.

[@BigTwinRiver]

Myles Kennedy is another talented guy like this, can just do it all. Amazing performers all around.

[@kennethbrown5164]

Triumph... "Magic Power"... Rick Emmett is the lead guitarist and vocalist... simply incredible.

[@xxlordbelxx1368]

Many Many great songs from Triumph.. All father's NEED to hear "Magic Power"

[@starlawilson9011]

We had so many great artists that we just weren't amazed by their vocal prowess. We kind of expected it. Watching reaction channels and how young people react to our music kind of gives me a new appreciation for what we had.

[@99sheepy]

Great reaction, loved Triumph for decades. One of the best lines in this song, 'I don't ask for much, the truth will do just fine'. Have to check out some of their live performances at the 1983 US Festival. Crazy good.

[@teddarr7887]

Saw them in concert in Little Rock Arkansas in 1983. Killer show. Rio Emmit is a killer guitarist for rock and classical music and man can he sing. Foghat opened.

[@dbrgr68]

rush and triumph best 3 man bands both canadian

[@douglaswaite9574]

"Fight the Good Fight" might be my favorite song of all time. Tru story

[@chelseahaley8350]

This is a classic! Pay no attention to the haters! Miserable people just want to make everyone around them miserable as well, and those people definitely need to take a step back and re-evaluate their lives! They're definitely not worth ur time! Keep on keepin' on! 🤘

[@WireHedd]

Another Master Class in Canadian Rock. Triumph are the Demigods of the North right behind Rush and with many, may more. We make ROCK STARS.

[@tammydean3003]

Rick Emmet has some of the most powerful pipes ever. Best song ever! One of my go-to songs to get you pumped! 🔥

[@Marloc2420]

Love this band!! So many bangers.

[@theodoreritola7641]

This reminds me ofJIMMY PAGE STAIR WAY TO HEAVEN LIVE 1973 MADISON SQUAR GARDEN This is why the 1970s where FANTASTIC, Lay it on the line, was recorded and released in 1979

[@chrissiecruise7196]

Finally! I've been waiting for you to get to Triumph for what seems like forever.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Rik Emmet's vocals are INSANE. I'm always so excited to see this video being reacted to. You certainly picked a GEM :)

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

Haters job is to hate..🤣🤣🤣. Love your reactions ❤

Triumph ROCKS. You Must Experience "Blinding Light Show" another astounding rock Opera.

[@tonyberezowski7859]

I actually hear Blinding Light Show/Moonchild, uncut, on the radio once!!! Not many DJ's will play out a 10 minute saga!!

[@mzluna313]

Triumph is my favorite Canadian trio!! I only attended two concerts of theirs, but they are amazing

[@bitslammer]

There's a live version from the US concert that is one of the best I've ever seen. Rick Emmet's voice ironically is similar to Geddy Lee from Rush, who are another killer Trio from Toronto CA.

[@EducatedHillbilly]

OMG! I'm surprised BP hasn't reacted to Rush yet!

[@leemiracle6840]

Also he has a YES sound in his vocals.

[@mapexzildjian6361]

One of the greatest 3-man bands that has been somewhat forgotten. I had a signed pair of orange Converse from them from the 80s.

[@williamtauriello1581]

Hands-down, one of the BEST rock lyrics EVER: “I don’t ask for much, the truth will do just fine.”

[@mikehackeson5092]

All of the songs from Triumph's set at the 1983 US Festival are available on youtube and are fantastic. This one, Magic Power, Fight The Good Fight, Rock and Roll Machine.

[@toddellison5128]

Rik Emmett sounds a bit like Geddy Lee to me, both awesome Canadian artists. I remember when Triumph was first played on our local Texas Rock station. They were so good. One of the more underrated bands of the era. NEXT: Magic Power, World of Fantasy, Hold On, Lay it on the Line.

[@Cris-ux9tq]

My sister once told me Rick Emmett is what would happen if Geddy Lee and Tommy Shaw had a baby! (I’m a huge Shaw fan) lol

You two are so fun to listen to, your conversations are so entertaining. Thank you for making me feel joy and laughter in these times when it's a pretty dark world we're in at the moment. So thank you for doing this, it's really appreciated. 🙏☮️

[@deadreckoningplot]

Saw them around this time 3rd row, then mid 80’s. Triumph was a great arena rock band! They have many great songs.

[@melissaward42]

Magic power is my favorite Triumph song. Fight the good fight is another great one from them

[@MarioCrosby]

"Magic Power" is another one of their many excellent songs you might want to look at.

Dude is still out there singing, with the same great pipes he had back in the day- he has really taken care of voice.

Triumph - Fight the Good Fight……you need to hear this❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@glendacarpenter2767]

This band was the first concert I went to in the 80’s, and they were so good, so clean and they were so talented, I miss those days, the best 👍

[@sumonjamal1653]

"Lay it on the line" and "Hold on" became huge radio hits from the 3rd Triumph album 'Just a game' in 1979... and it became their first gold album (half million copies sold) in the US in 1979... Triumph was already huge in their native Canada. Formed in Canada in the mid-70's, Triumph was a rock trio that sounded very similar to their Canadian counterparts Rush, but had more of an arena rock sound (Rush was more progressive rock) ... Triumph was: Rik Emmett (vocals & guitar), Gil Moore (vocals & drums) and Mike Levine (bass & keyboards) ... Both Emmett and Moore sang lead and like Geddy Lee of Rush, Levine played both bass and keyboards in Triumph. Their first self-titled album 'Triumph' was released in 1976 but was not a hit... 2nd album 'Rock & roll machine' in 1977 became a hit in Canada. 3rd album 'Just a game' was a hit and a gold album in the US in 1979 ... but the 4th album 'Progressions of power' in 1980 was a disappointment. Triumph had their biggest-selling (5th) record in 1981 - 'Allied Forces'... a platinum hit (1 million copies) in the US w/ the hits: 'Fight the good fight'... 'Magic power'... 6th album 'Never surrender' in 1983 sold gold in the US w/ the singles - 'All the way'... 'A world of fantasy'. 7th album 'Thunder Seven' was another gold selling success in the US in 1984 w/ the single 'Follow your heart'... For whatever reason, Triumph went for a more commercial 8th album in 1986 - 'The sport of kings' ... and had a commercial top 40 single "Somebody's out there"... but album sales were lower. Working on 9th album 'Surveillance' in 1987, creative tensions between Rik Emmett and the others led to the guitarist leaving Triumph for a solo career in 1988 after the album failed commercially. Gil Moore and Mike Levine hired Phil X (guitar) w/ Moore doing all the vocals for their 10th and final album 'Edge of excess' in 1992. It failed commercially and Triumph broke up... Years later, guitarist Phil X joined Bon Jovi in 2013 after original guitarist Richie Sambora quit the band. The original Triumph (Emmett/ Moore/ Levine) reunited to play their final shows together in 2008... the same year Triumph was inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame. In 2021, Triumph released a documentary movie on their career - "Triumph: Rock and roll machine"... They have declined to perform together again (Only partially for the movie)

[@Jason-Taylor]

Triumph was one of the bands on the bill for the first ever concert I went to as a Freshman in High School in the early’80s. I instantly became a fan. You should check out their live version of, “Fight the Good Fight” at the US Festival in 1983. They really put on a great performance.
