Triumph Reaction

[@mikej70]

Rik is an incredible musician singing and guitar playing is amazing and jaw dropping so much great musical talent

[@Alberto_1965_BR]

Great! One of the best songs from this amazing trio. Classic. "Fight the Good Fight" from Allied Forces (awesome album) is fantastic!

[@jamesgoldman6942]

Triumph's Fight The Good Fight live from this festival may be the best live recording ever. Thanks for playing this

[@mikebernard2318]

Thanks for checking out Triumph, they are a lot more diverse and interesting than the masses portray them. Little Boy Blues may be the tastiest electric guitar piece ever I may eventually hit you up for a donation video since most of your followers are just requesting the hits.

[@alphamegaman8847]

I was there.🥵 Heavy Metal Day!🤘 Never will be in a crowd that LARGE again.!😱 Estimated at 400K+ people. Went closer to the stage with my girlfriend but felt surges building up from the back, so we got the hell out the Crush Zone!😮 Great Day! What I can remember of it!😁 Still have the T-shirt!👍 Mike in San Diego.🌞🎸🚀🖖

[@debbieplato5107]

This is my favourite Triumph song and this was a banger performance. Rik Emmett has an amazing voice and not a bad guitar player either. LOL Also, no surprise he and Alex Lifeson are buddies. Cheers

[@IMNOTGEDDY]

My older brother and I used to rent this concert at Blockbuster (yeah I'm that old) we must have watched it dozens of times along with Rush Grace under pressure tour.

[@diverdown631]

The US festival as in the word us was twice 82 and 83 in San bernadino 3 days each with a ton of bands playing

[@WeDanceWestie]

Here we go. Heck of a song, awesome performance. Triumph ROCKS!

[@rickthestiks9240]

another great trio,made in canada,the drummer was singing too,kind of rare,alone sometime,rock on,🤘🤘🤘

[@sethcashman1011]

Always loved the spirit of this performance. Rik’s singing sounds so effortless here. Halifax is a great one, too. Different. Glad you got to see something from their US Festival set. The entire thing is blazing.

[@loristone9242]

Rik Emmett, his voice, and that amazing rock n roll hair he has 😍 Triumph is such an amazing band. This live performance is stellar. 80's concerts ruled.

[@danarchuleta1154]

I was there...The US (as in you and I) Festival, Glen Helen Park, San Bernadino CA. This was an unforgettable show...300K maniacal metal and rock fans. Let's see if I remember the line up...Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Triumph, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Scorpions and The Mighty Van Halen! Triumph stood out in this show, but the Scorps., started playing as a group of 5 fighter Jets flew over and I think the song was "Loving You Sunday Morning." They killed and though I'm a VH die hard, the Pasadena boys weren't quite hanging with the Yellow and Black attack (on that day). A young Steve Wozniak was the main promotor.

[@rickthestiks9240]

interesting line- up,good old days.🤘🤘🤘

[@slainteron4027]

Phenomenal guitarist. There is a solo he does on the song Time Goes By off of Thunder Seven where is hammers and picks the same notes at incredible speed

[@mikej70]

The song is Time goes by it is incredible and the jaw dropping solo

[@mikebernard2318]

Great Stuff

[@stevecollette6831]

Ric Emmett still tours, but his voice has mellowed. He is both a phenomenal guitarist and vocalist and was honestly, a step above the other guys in the band. They eventually toured with a keyboardist / rhythm guitarist so they could pull off all songs. Triumph really wanted to be a harder, rock-driven band, but they had some legit hits and the record labels pressured them to be more mainstream and pop. It eventually led to the breakup of the band as it just wasn't the way Emmett wanted to go. My claim to fame? I took a picture of them on tour that was published in Rolling Stone. Saw them in Detroit with floor seats, basically standing room only. The guy next to me says 'you're tall, can you get a decent picture?" (I'm 6'5") This was in '82 and you couldn't bring cameras into a concert. I was a stupid kid and should have realized that someone with a nice 35mm SLR and a huge lens was probably there for a reason. He handed me his card and said 'thanks'. I bought every issue for a couple months until the review of the Triumph tour came out! LOL

[@JustinPanariello]

wow cool

[@donnelson6694]

I saw them live back in 1979. Fun show.

[@jimmiegentry7389]

Saw Triumph live I. 1986. Great concert. Great memory.

[@obelisk21]

The US Festival was the brainchild of Steve Wozniak who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs (Wozniak was the tech guy and Jobs was more the business guy). It was called the US festival as a direct response to the "Me" generation of the 70's. This performance was part of Heavy Metal Day and Triumph who just met Wozniak backstage asked him to come onstage and introduce them for their performance so if you see the complete performance of them at this festival you can see a very young Woz. Here is the complete lineup for Heavy Metal Day... Quiet Riot Mötley Crüe Ozzy Osbourne Judas Priest Triumph Scorpions Van Halen

[@Cc-mg2og]

Great reaction as always Justin..as a huge Rush fan ive always admired these guys as well...For the more epic type Triumph tracks check out Blinding light show/moonchild,Ordinary Man,and (The city:war march,el duende agonizante;mistrels lament)..the last multi part song displaying Riks versatile guitar playing

[@markmilner842]

These guys played the same day as Judas Priest at the Us Festival. They’re definitely better live.

[@paulwhitman3922]

Triumph 😤 absolutely 💯 badass live in the 80s and late 70s. Check out Judas Priest also there at the US festival great performance as well high energy 👏

[@sethcashman1011]

“He’s got a lotta toms.” Told ya! 😄

[@ernestpacheco8148]

This whole performance is gold ! Judas Priest and The Stray Cats are other bands from The This 1983 US festival is a must check out ! 👍

[@alan2112drums]

Rik Emmett still sounds great today. Quite remarkable.

[@jeffstorm4351]

Love Triumph!! I was there at the US Festival in 83’🤟🏻

[@stevenmonte7397]

I check reactions every day for Triumph!!! Killer band. Rik is a great songwriter.

[@timdaley4637]

One of the more under rated bands for sure......

[@stephanechamberland8486]

Great voice ! Great guitar player ! Great song !

[@Megadeth1921]

San Bernardino California 350;000+ metalheads . I was at this show. Just turned 17 and had the time of my life. Quiet Riot, motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Triumph , Scorpions and Van Halen, it was an epic show and I was right up front. Triumph was the best band that day.

[@tylerbear5022]

It was great being a teenager from 1973 to 1979, annual Rush, Triumph, Styx, Trooper, etc concerts.

[@stevenmonte7397]

Rik has some great interviews talking about his writing. Such a cool, down to earth dude!

[@mikewoodrow5878]

If I remember correctly something happened to Rik’s guitar and he had to borrow one for this show. Justin if you get back to studio cuts, check out the title track from Rock and Roll Machine - it’s a cooker. Peace from Toronto

[@EDMDoc]

Rick can still sing and shred. Saw him playing an acoustic set in a bar in Halifax a few years ago. His full time gig after he left Triumph was as a music professor at a university in Toronto.

[@irenedownie6559]

Fabulous singer and guitarist!!!

[@ritchmoore1442]

Thank you!!!

[@kentk2215]

Love Triumph! The US Festival (pronounced the the word “us”, not U.S.) was in San Bernadino, California. It was the dream of Steve Wozniak co-founder of Apple. It was Memorial Day weekend 1983. There was a New Wave Day, a Heavy Metal Day, and a Rock Day. Triumph was actually on Heavy Metal day, and performed between Judas Priest and Scorpions. Van Halen followed Scorpions as the headliner (and they were wasted!) Quiet Riot, Motley Crüe, and Ozzy had performed before Judas Priest. The total attendance for the weekend was about 670,000. (And the concert still lost $12M). They paid Van Halen $1.5M alone. It was extremely hot that weekend with temps over 100 degrees. There were videos of the concert released that did fairly well. There was also a one day country concert the following weekend.

[@robcowgill9845]

One of my all time favorites..

[@tinanoel452]

Gives me chills

[@BrakRulesAll]

Rik can still sing nowadays. And you weren't bagging on Ged, it's a fact that age caught up with his voice before they quit touring.

[@tamarahornyak5744]

there outstanding

[@KennethStCyr-dv6cm]

I still think he sounds great at his advanced age..lol. I saw these guys on the Sport of Kings tour. Great show.

[@tinanoel452]

Love

[@billmclean2995]

They played amazing tour called thunder seven seen them at maple leaf gardens in Toronto

[@beadybaby]

As amazing as Rik’s voice is, his guitar playing is just beyond. He’s also beautiful.

[@MrAitraining]

One of the best Live Guest Sets ever. Triumph was better Live. Saw them twice. They cut loose much more.

[@robertwalker1803]

All 3 of these guys can sing…

[@davidbieloh1382]

Rik is 71 or 72 now and he admits he can’t go that high anymore, however, he knows how to adjust it. The quality of his voice is still there, but nobody can maintain the vocal cords of their youth.

[@jimtatro6550]

These guys were incredible live.

[@garysteinert8040]

I was at this show…

[@dannychase1787]

Yes man. I was at the Halifax concert in 1987. One of the best shows I have ever seen. The only word I can use is”epic”. Straight away over the top hard rock…Canadian Style! One of the most underrated bands ever. Try live in Halifax or check out Never Surrender, Fight the Good Fight, Just A Fame, Allied Forces, Ordinary Man…..I could go on.

[@conrad98gtp]

This is in Devore, California. San Bernardino County. Triumph just played a Stadium Festival gig the day before in Florida, at the Cotton Bowl (I think?? 🤔) and they flew straight to California, and were slotted in after Judas Priest and before the Scorpions. The lineup in this order was: Quiet Riot Motley Crue Ozzy Osbourne Judas Priest Triumph Scorpions Van Halen The Drum set, the Marshall Stacks, and possibly the Bass Amps were all rental. I think a great next song to react to is, Stranger In A Strange Land, from their album Thunder 7, released in 1984 and produced by Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, etc.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4rRf5iNitx3lZo Also Rik Emmett's virtual collaboration to Red Barchetta from Rush, with Neil Peart's virtual drum tracks. Rik is covering Geddy's vocals, bass, and Alex's guitar parts!

[@johnfoster5295]

I looked and I didn't see the 2nd song you did from Just A Game. Maybe you took it down since your post song thoughts were cut out. If you haven't heard the title track from Just A Game I recommend it. Another great Rik Emmett vocal. Another one to consider is the title track from Rock And Roll Machine, with vocals by drummer Gil Moore. A cool thing about Triumph is Rik and Gil sing lead on different songs. Kind of the opposite of Rush where the bass player is the singer, in Triumph the bass player (Mike Levine) is the only one who doesn't sing. And it's called the US Festival (not U.S.), I remember watching that on TV as a teenager when it happened. It was a big multi-band music festival, kind of an 80s Woodstock, if you will. Some of the biggest rock acts of the day played it. I was a big Triumph fan back in the day, and I still am.

[@JustinPanariello]

Yes I took down my reactions to MAGIC POWER and HOLD ON because the ends got cut off unfortunately. I refilmed my outros, will edit and upload them and put them out in the next 2 days. Thanks!

[@itchyandred4131]

The us festival as in you and I ✌️

[@itchyandred4131]

Ok I was just checking out previous reactions and I see you haven't reacted to another great Canadian band.......... April Wine 🤯 you should check out their song " roller" it's a total banger ✌️

[@Mike80528]

I only really know a handful of their songs well, but they are a classic late-70's power rock band. I know I classified them as "spiritual", and that is because all the songs from them I know have an uplifting message at their core. They were not a "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" rock band (from my exposure) but played the style of rock. Regardless, a great band. The hair metal came later in the 80's at the trail-end of the metal rock peak...

[@ComedianRonBender]

Rik still plays small venues on his own, and the high range is mostly gone.

[@stevemunro2018]

True and such a pity. You can watch Rik at Daryl's House (a video from seven years ago) and then watch him play Pembrook, Ontario (a video from THIS summer). The loss of the high range is very evident.

[@steveburns5441]

I never seen this band Live for some reason. I remember seeing a live video of them with a fourth member I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[@sid7088]

There are some fairly recent YT clips of solo Rik Emmet and his voice and playing are still great.

[@richierich398]

🤘

[@generoberts9151]

I saw them in 85’ . They are every bit as good live. Unfortunately not a great deal of material but they still were good You should check the other Canadien rock band “April Wine” . Got a few excellent tunes

[@georgespragens7589]

The only thing that irritates me about live versions of this song is they swap out a really great guitar solo for that instrumental break that I don't think is near as good. But it's their song and what the heck do I know. If you want to hear how they sounded live at their peak, listen to the album "Stages". If you want to hear them when they had to modulate down for Rik Emmett's voice, listen to the album "Live at Sweden Rock Festival". The band's penultimate song has got to be "Fight the Good Fight." Studio version is cool, but any live version is awesome, and an exercise in seeing just how many notes a guitar player can put into a single measure. (Spoiler: For Rik Emmett, it's a LOT!)

[@chriswiltshire613]

and to think they were basically an opening act. wtf.

[@chrisw2546]

The live in Halifax version of this is much better, in my opinion. The beginning of the solo is improvised here. Didn't fit to me.

[@garytate3075]

@@SnowDogisVictorious the solo he played features on a song from their debut album called "Don't take my Life", for some reason they put this in early live versions of Lay it on the Line. On the last couple of tours they played "Lay it on the Line" true to the studio version.
