Triumph- Magic Power!!!

[@kmac10-8]

IMHO I think Triumph is one of the best power trios ever. This is probably my favorite song, but their catalog is full of winners. Thanks for your reaction, keep fighting the good fight!

[@Kim-hc5si]

A few years ago, my man had to have a very dangerous surgery and we had to drive to the next state to a specialty hospital for it. It had been a year-long struggle trying to figure out what the problem was but once we did it became even scarier. He had the surgery and it was completely successful. When he was released, we were on our way home and as we were getting on the highway on-ramp this song came on. We sang it together. I will never forget it. ❤️

[@andyreid6826]

Wish you guys well.

[@Kim-hc5si]

@@andyreid6826 Aww thanks, Andy. 🙂 Everything’s great (relatively speaking). Hope you’re well, too.

[@meganparsons9106]

Very cool.

[@4tuneagent]

If you can find it.. "Magic Power", Live at the US Festival 1983.. may be the pinnacle of their career. They ruled that day in front of half a million Rock fans..

[@douglaslangley501]

Love Triumph another great one is "Lay it on the line"......

[@rickydavis4230]

this was his first reaction to the group done a few weeks ago if you want to look it up

[@stpnwlf9]

Always enjoyed Triumph but they never seemed to get the attention and exposure they deserved. When I did get those rare chances to see them on TV or wherever, they always delivered.

[@ogmandog]

Brah......Magic Power

[@LisaMarieD]

Love this!! Magic Power is also a good one! Enjoying this channel Chod!

[@keithkinkade4265]

I never knew this was about cancer and the lyrics don't really reflect that. I always just thought it was about being a good person. A lot of Triumphs stuff is about that. It helped me a tremendous amount growing up.

[@erichjacoby-hawkins3076]

The song is not actually about cancer, it was just his relative's struggle that inspired him to write this song which has a much wider meaning.

[@sixslinger9951]

it can be interpreted anyway you want. That's the beauty of music, it has different meanings for everyone.

[@jons.105]

Not an overplayed selection, so good job.

[@bangmon1000]

I agree with the others about "Magic Power". The magic power Triumph are singing about is music.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

If you EVER get the chance to watch them perform this at the US Festival 1983, do not hesitate to react to it. 3 Man band, like their Canadian Rush compatriots, that absolutely slayed it, and the crowd. Top 3 Live performances I've ever seen.

[@onepieceofgumleft]

They were a last minute , little known replacement band at that festival , and stole the show.

[@eironwyman8157]

easily top four concerts for me....would be higher but I have seen Pink Floyd three times so....

[@garytate3075]

@@onepieceofgumleft they were very well known in the US by this time in their career mate.

@@eironwyman8157 Well that just isn't fair. No go to your room.

[@markhutt9589]

Rick Emmett refused to write negative lyrics, if you want to check out some other amazing Canadian bands listen to April Wine - Roller, BTO-Let it Ride and then there is Max Webster/Rush-Battlescar

[@andyreid6826]

I heard Battlescar for the first time last week on the radio. Great tune!

[@toddstevens13]

@Steve Gregg followed with a "sign of the gypsy queen" chaser.

[@toddstevens13]

And a must is Doucette's "Mama Let Him Play" a classic so few Americans have ever heard.

[@toddstevens13]

@Steve Gregg You are in for a treat.

[@andyreid6826]

@@toddstevens13 they literally play that song everyday on the radio station here in moncton. It is a great tune.

[@wildmountainsky]

Tremendous talent in this band all the way around. Underrated IMO.

[@workingman6681]

Unbelievable song! Thank you for the great reaction!🙏

[@WineSippingCowboy]

In Canada, the news pitted them against Rush. Each has 1 similar vocal range of the lead singer 2 a three-member band 3 has at least 1 all-star on an instrument: Rush: drums, bass guitar; Triumph: guitar, drums. But on the contrary, the two bands are friends! Also review Lay It on the Libe, Magic Power.

[@ultslipknot]

Triumph - Magic Power

[@baronofgreymatter14]

Magic Power by Triumph should be next

[@bethshadid2087]

Love Triumph.....unfortunately they were underrated back in the day 😓. Thank you for the love 💕💗🕊️. Great message in this gem 😊

[@bmayer9160]

Triumph.........super under rated! Rik is a great vocalist and guitarist!

[@joekimes8433]

Great band inspirational rock n roll

[@robycip9715]

I miss TRIUMPH seen them 2 times both times was just amazing!

[@mtaffer]

Dream Theater's song "Another Day" is about John Petrucci's father having cancer, the song is lyrically verbose and it's a heartfelt ballad featuring a sax. "A Change of Seasons" is about Mike Portnoy's mother dying in a plane crash and the mixture of emotions he went through processing that. By some it's considered one of the biggest prog masterpieces ever and is usually in the top 5 with fans. Lastly "Best of Times" was written to Mike Portony's father when he was dying of cancer...huge Rush vibe to that song and it ends in a very melancholy way. An amazing Petrucci solo in that song, one of his best heartfelt ones. My grandmother died of cancer, she was my best friend. I always went to her for help or advice and then suddenly I couldn't talk to her. The cancer was around her throat and was actually choking off blood to her brain, so she started displaying Alzheimer's symptoms or dementia. She was only sick for 8 months before she passed but I swear it felt like 5 years...

[@DavidB-2268]

Now do "Hold On", or "Somebody's Out There". Then move on to Trooper, "Raise a Little Hell" or "Say Hello"

[@andyreid6826]

I wore out my trooper "hot shots" cassette. Great music. You must be a fellow canuck, lol

[@DavidB-2268]

@@andyreid6826 went to high school with Jian Ghomeshi and, yes, he was a prick back then, too.

[@tims7077]

Great, thoughtful reaction to this classic by Triumph. Thanks! Another song I'd recommend is Last Chance by Shooting Star. They were another band that deserved a lot more recognition. The lyrics are meaningful in that one too.

[@ritchmoore1442]

Was wondering when another Triumph song would come along. :) Another great song/message from them is Never Surrender.

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Probably the best lyric in the entire piece: "...but you're the master of your own destiny {Sorry: A fallacy. Not true. Other people's choices and things you cannot control end-up influencing and controlling your life, your options, your choices and (thus) your journey. ...but that's a great lyrical line. 🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥} So give and take the best that you can!" 🤘🤘

[@tomdolman8158]

When I was in high school, my favorite three bands were STYX, Triumph and Ultravox. This song brings back a lot of memories.

[@mikkaelrodriguez1770]

One of the best motivational songs written. Amazing vocals and overall musicianship. Very underrated band.

[@cynthiamartinez9669]

Ahhhhhhh.....so wonderful to hear some Triumph....one of my faves!!!!

[@Deborahtunes]

My favorite Canadian band. Got to see them in 1986, during the *"Sport Of Kings"* tour. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. They had it all, talent and a great stage show. Rik Emmett was nice "eye candy" too. Their lyrics were very inspirational, without being preachy or heavy handed in Christianity. I always felt better after listening to one of Triumph's songs...

[@mlb70]

I was always a huge Triumph fan, watched them live several times. I can still remember the day that I heard they were disbanding. I was pretty upset. Was lucky enough to watch them play their farewell show at Kingswood music theatre before they went their separate ways. It was not like any of their regular shows, which were always intense experiences with tons of lasers, lights, smoke, pyrotechnics, they were a tour de force live. The show at Kingswood was bare bones, they did it on short notice for the local Toronto Fan base. It was a sombre crowd but appreciative. Sad day.

[@kchez5586]

Hey man, I check out a lot of reaction channels with people discovering rock music and I have to say, without a doubt you do the best selection of songs! Not the same old old same old that every reaction channel does, but the great underground hard rock/metal classics that old bastards like me grew up on. Much props to you, sir!! Keep rockin' out!! \m/

[@TONY-qj1nk]

I saw Triumph in 1984. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Pyro was insane.

[@paulm.5979]

Great reaction The live version is so much better! Magic Power another great tune. This band is so talented. Keep em coming.

[@loisr3970]

Have not heard this in a long time.. My lord what a special message the world needs to hear now !!!!!!

[@ericbloom7289]

"Magic Power" is another great one from Triumph. I also recommend "Never Surrender", "A World of Fantasy" and "Rock and Rock Machine" and "I Live for the Weekend".

[@gregscupholm254]

I have long LOVED this band. Try out the hit, "Say Goodbye". Catchy as all get-out.

[@bangmon1000]

Another Canadian band that you should react to is The Guess Who.

[@wild8757]

One of the best bands ever, you need to do a lot more songs by them, they got a Lot of hits

[@themegasexybasterd]

Thank u for sharing, very sorry for ur loss. Been years sense I heard this song. Didnt know the details, great to know. Rock on!

Warren Zevon " Keep Me in your Heart Awhile" he was dieing of cancer . Great song

They say it's better to give than to receive I do my best to do my part. Nothing in my pockets and there's nothing up my sleeves I keep my ( magic in my heart)

[@nancymjohnson]

I was at a pre TEXXAS JAM party once. A lot of rock celebrities were there. The party was in my old neighborhood of East Dallas. There was one guy there that I thought I knew from high school. We stared at each other all night, surely we knew each other from school. Before I left to go to work, he came up to me and said "I think I know you from somewhere". I replied "same here. Did you go to Woodrow Wilson?" He said no, he wasn't from Dallas. He stuck out his hand to shake mine and introduced himself as Mike Lavine. I felt so stupid. Of course he was with Triumph, and as a DJ, I should have known. Dio broke my nose at the same party, accidentally of course, with his forehead LOL. So many cool people were there, I wish we had phones with cameras back then. Keep up the great work here on your great channel!!

[@kathyjones3940]

Rik Emmett ( singer) was inspired by his aunt, who was dying of cancer. Such a beautiful and inspiring song!! ❤🤘 The guys are proud Canadians too!❤😊🤘

[@4yules]

this song definitly had a serious impact on my childhood ..got me through rough times

[@GBeret83]

You've already reacted to Lay It On Line and now you've done a reaction to Fight The Good Fight. You gotta go one more for sure with this band and react to their song Magic Power!

Check out "Ordinary Man" from Triumph. This band was amazing!

[@christopherbailey557]

The Blinding Light Show live please! Triumph live was killer!

Third row center, Worcester MA 1984-ish. They had a killer live show. Great guitarist.

I saw Triumph on this tour. I was about 15. It's still a "go to" song when I need an uplifting tune.

Need to do some more Triumph. Possibly "Spellbound" for the next up. Definitely April-Wine, so many need to listen to them. I'll throw some other Canucks out there, Colin James - "Just Came Back", Loveryboy - "Lovin' Every Minute of It ", Saga - "On The Loose", Bryan Adams - "Summer Of '69", Rik Emmett did a solo album that was good as well might try "Drive Time", Alanis Morissette - "Hand In My Pocket", Sarah McLachlan - "Angel", Tom Cochrane - "Lif Is A Highway", Alannah Myles - "Black Velvet", Corey Hart - "Sunglasses At Night", Crash Test Dummies - "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", Honeymoon Suite - "New Girl Now", Chilliwack - "Gone Gone Gone", William Shatner - "Spirit in the Sky" with Peter Frampton, The Tragically Hip - "New Orleans Is Sinking", Leonard Cohen -"You Want It Darker" , Neil Young -"Rockin' In The Free world".

[@NeverGiddy]

"Woman in Love", best Triumph song.

[@thomasrocker7408]

Yet another great reaction Chod. If you get the chance, check out their live performance of this song in Halifax Nova Scotia. The video enhances this song. Keep up your drumming. You definitely have the talent. Years ago I was talking to Karen Carpenter ( yes THAT Karen Carpenter) and she said that she was just a drummer who could sing a little bit. Boy was that the understatement of the freaking century. Check out some of her drumming videos. Great job my friend.

[@jennifertierney9076]

You're an awesome guy Chod! I listen regularly 💜

[@EarthWalker2023]

One of the top 5 bands ever

[@foxchasejrt1]

They are not a cheap imitation of Rush! Singer does sound a bit like Geddy Lee in places but less range. That and the fact they're a 3 piece band from Canada is where the similarities to Rush end. Rush songs are more complex, multi layered with lots of changes. The percussion is far superior & showcased. Rush is progressive rock. Triumph is an excellent rock band. Not dissing - I luv em. Have 3 of their albums and seen em live twice. Magic Power is on my top 10 fav songs list. Plz pick next!! Thanks for the great reaction & evaluation Chod!

[@johnfoster5295]

I recommend Just A Game, Never Surrender and Rock & Roll Machine (sang by the drummer, Gil Moore).

One of very few bands that's studio stuff was really good, but their live stuff was much better. Their appearance at US FEST '83 was one of the best concerts I've witnessed. Middle of the day...no lights...show, just music.
