Rik Emmett has been criminally overlooked as a phenomenally talented Rock icon. Such a great band, very appreciative of their fans.

[@MichaelVLang]

The entire band is iconic.

[@mrbudmanfl6956]

agreed

[@raymondrochajr9621]

It's okay. They're iconic in my mind!

[@joeylee405]

He was a very prolific contributor to guitar magazine, and always highly appreciated…., likewise Steve Morse, Alex Lifeson …., folks forget…

[@barbaralavoie2642]

He's classically trained too! Love him. ❤️

[@pbaker7160]

No love for Gil Moore? He wrote most of the songs and sang half of them while drumming. Dude is a machine.

[@markcarchedi915]

Gil Moore is awesome, to do what he did live was truly amazing!! Sharp businessman and entrepreneur as well.

[@marcribaudo1965]

And he wrote most of their heavier material. Rik said he wanted to move more into pop oriented music, the rest didn't agree and he quit in 88. By 92 they were finished. They've only reunited 3 times since.

[@markcarchedi915]

@@marcribaudo1965 What is weird to me is I have heard a couple interviews that Rik said the opposite as in Gil and Mike wanted more radio friendly (for lack of a better term) songs. I found that real hard to believe. Because it's fairly obvious Gil and Mike leaned toward heavier songs. Rik liked more prog stuff too!

[@dlewisfl]

@@markcarchedi915 As I've heard it, Gil and Mike wanted to carry on doing party songs and the same kind of stuff they were doing, Rik wanted to explore different genres and lyrics with deeper meaning. Rik wrote all the stuff that had any kind of deeper meaning than the hard-driving party songs.

[@markcarchedi915]

@@dlewisfl I'm glad Rik got to do what he wanted as a solo artist. He never had the overall success as with Triumph. Although I am sure he was happy doing all the different styles. I found Triumph to be a band that had a nice blend of music. Once they recorded The Sport of Kings, pretty much selling out, that confused many fans. Then going forward with the heavier Surveillance album confused some even more 🤔

[@lancelange9377]

Nobody ever talks about them outside of hardcore fans. They are all but forgotten. You and I loving them, while nice is not the majority@@guyfawkes578

[@WhiteWizzard]

Cool band but their songwriting is hit and miss IMO. That’s why they didn’t get huge. People always say this and it’s always down to the body of songwriting. Lay it on the line is a solid FM radio tune but many of their songs are kind of forgettable. Good jams etc. Same thing with say the NWOTHM-Maiden and Def Leppard wrote the best songs….or Metallica in thrash….best songwriters….AC/DC etc …..it’s all about the songwriting. Bands that get huge just write the best songs and have many of them.

[@lancelange9377]

Love Triumph. But you hit the nail on the head. The songs of theirs that I like. I love. But many of them just don't engage me, despite the obvious talent.@@WhiteWizzard

Ok.... folks rave about Rob Halford. Rightfully so. Folks rave about Robert Plant. Also Rightfully so. But this, phenomenal guitar playing aside is one of greatest vocal performances in history. Give Rik his due. His voice and vocal control were second to none. There is only one that can sing fight the good fight. And that is Rik. He is criminally overlooked. One of the Great rock and roll voices of all time. It is time people recognize his phenomenal vocal talent. And his guitar playing. I have so much solid respect for Rik.

[@timpenfield5]

If Rick did not play such a mean guitar, He would be considered 1 of the greatest rock singers in pop music history, but hes so good at guitar, hes like the George Benson of rock, People want George to play gutar, but his vocs are as good as his guitar playing, Sick performaces, Best band there

[@DEVINEFAVOR144]

He is a phenomenal singer and guitar player and his lyrics are top notch

[@TreatzTMA]

I think humans have a hard time comprehending that someone can be so exceptionally talented at 2 things simultaneously. It’s fucking weird, but I don’t think Rik even considers himself much of a singer. I took music (guitar) at Humber way back and Rik was good friends with Peter Harris, head of the guitar department and a fine jazz guitarist, friend of Lenny Breau. Rik would come into our guitar class once a year and talk about music, industry, etc and all my singer buddies would be like “um, can we get Rik too?” lol

[@christopherpitcher7646]

I've been a Rick Emmit fan since 1982. He can shred and he's a pro. Great vocals and nothing short of amazing

[@sharonannsharonann260]

Jealous. I didn't really get into Triumph until 1984 when Thunder Seven came out and Spellbound got a lot of radio airplay in the NY/NJ area. I was 14 at the time, I didn't have a driver's license and none of my friends were into them. By the time I was old enough to see them, they were declining in popularity in the US.

[@bradfiegehen7092]

My first concert was when I was 17. April 1984, Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens. Ratt opened for Ozzy''s Bark at the Moon tour. Then the concerts just kept coming. I saw Triumph at Maple Leaf Gardens with opening band, Winger. I think that was around 1986 ish??? I don't think the youths today have any clue what it was like to grow up as a teenager in the 80's. Can we go back just for a month please? God bless Mick.

The business gets in the way of the original creators - and he strikes me as honest and forthright. He did not want to forsake the reason he started in music in the first place for money and popularity. Others will go for the fame and money….not the way he wanted it.

I'm in my late 50's, when I used to go to rock concerts they were just so raw, fun, and emotional. No cell phones or crazy digital distractions. You had to be good, because the crowd would know immediately.

[@moosic2i]

Well, i "know immediately" that that is not the live audio from that gig! Remixed, eq'd, heavy compression etc etc.

[@TimMonbrod]

Lay it on the Line Triumph ‼️👍👍✨✨✨🌟🌟💥

[@yasooo]

I just woke up and glued to this. This is what we're missing in music today. Great rock'n roll and incredible musicianship. And everyone seems fit and not obese. Makes me want to go back to the 70 - 80's.

[@couchwarrior2449]

A whole different world back then. 1983 as opposed to 2023. Music isn't the only thing that's gotten worse in the past forty years. But hey, let's enjoy Triumph, and think on better days that are long gone.

[@actonplp]

Rik's voice is SO good live in concert ♥️

[@pete4531]

Never Surrender is insane good! Most artist can’t replicate the singing on the album

[@verruckt19]

sounds like overdub.. amazing show but they re-recorded the tracks in the studio.. you can notice the difference between the spoken voice and the sung voice. guitar and voice sound for me clearly like studio.

[@jeffmcewen1238]

Lucky enough to see them in a small arena in Hanover Ontario. Before Allied Forces. 3 foot high stage no chairs. I don't think there was even security at the front. Just walk up, they were 3 feet away.

[@fofrankstank]

The level of sheer talent in this band was immense !

[@DeadMikeConcertVideos]

My #1 #1 #1 band that I would love to tour again! Been like that for decades! So miss y'all! Triumph, u know we love you, why aren't you touring?!

[@primrose3177]

👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥What an incredible amazing smokin' dynamite performance!!! Man I wish I could have seen these guys live back in the day!!! Triumph will always & forever be one of my very favorite bands!!!

[@gonzaloamador402]

How can I get the whole written part/tabs of this wonderful Band. I appreciate your comments

[@j.t.cooper2963]

The world was a much better place back then. I used to think that it was only going to get better. Man was I wrong about that. It's a shame to see what it's become today. Thank God I at least got to grow up in the 70's and 80's and not in this current complete and total disappointment.

[@flaviopitanga65]

Saw Triumph in concert it was simply magnificent. So glad I lived of a rock and roll generation. Simply a privilege to have lived through. Long live Triumph ❤

[@1seriousgearheadify]

Seen these guys multiple times in bars in Southern Ontario and the Kalamazoo concert where they headlined with bands like Ozzy, Quiet Riot, Rat, Accept and many more big acts. Even met Rick at Stacey Hayden recording studio in Hamilton and he was a down to earth guy with a great personality. The 80's where great for music. I still listen to their albums regularly.

[@scottswidler8871]

I was at the Kalamazoo show! Stayed at hotel that had RATT staying there, too. I was 17 and there were all of these headbangers in the staircase drinking and having a great time. The next morning we were in an elevator with Juan Croucier and he still had a beer in his hand. Anyway, Triumph is one of my favorite bands of all time and I almost forget that they headlined that Kalamazoo show. Awesome day!

[@carolinelacourse6888]

🎉 You Had Some Awesome Experiences 😊

[@andrewperry34]

I love that they came out looking as regular as the rest of us and made it all about the music. I was there and Triumph were the most memorable band of the day. When the Blue Angels flew over during Magic Power right around sunset, whew, that was a perfect moment in time. I loved them then and I still do 40 years on.

[@bluesman7119]

Seen Triumph a few times live in Toronto and Buffalo amazing live , I remember watching this on TV, look at the kids today wokefied to death with all the nonsense of gender and crap , thank god in our days we were allowed to be kids , feel for the young ones today,

[@joerectifier]

They were the best band at the entire festival if you ask me.

[@randymoran67]

​@Rectifier's Guitar & Philosophy van Halen was despite the drunkenness made it more memorable they came on late In the day when energy was draining due to the heat I was there was up close couldn't take it anymore went to the back where the 2 buck water was

[@joerectifier]

@@randymoran67 I guess we are in the opinion zone,- I love me some dlr Van Halen and they were the big ticket at that show - but Triumph melted my face - that’s an opinion. I’ve seen Van Halen I guess 5 times and I love Eddie, of course I do, and I think they were on top of the game on the 2015 tour - that’s the best I saw Van Halen. I think that 2015 tour Eddie was on fire and had killer tone and shredded everything. I miss him.

[@ageingviking5587]

I remember how great they were and terribly unproffesionally Motley Crue was too. Crue was totally outclassed by TRIUMPH!

[@free1982]

トライアンフの全盛期のライブは圧巻! カナダのトリオは羽ばたいていた🎿

Damn, that was one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

Rock on! Long Hair Rocks!❤😊❤❤❤

[@jmacc9876]

These guys are damned perfect live. They must have had the cleanest lifestyles of any band at the US festival.

[@raystewart3054]

This was my first concert I ever went to awesome show

[@olivertoeknuckleiii2093]

Triumph ruled the US festival. Their music was so freaking tight, and Rik was…well- he was Rik! One of the ALL-TIME greats on the guitar, and one of the ALL TIME GREATS in vocals.

Jimmy Page was there as well....can`t wait!! nine hours and counting! :)

[@marinevetmom50]

Love this band!!!! Gave me power ahead in life!!! Inspired the shit out of me!!! Thank you guys for all the talent you shared with us!!!

[@shawndardbarbarbarian5061]

I was there but a young lad of 18 was so hot and Triumph killed it 🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@TubeRJF]

I saw Triumph play Philly during the Thunder Seven tour. To this day, one of the greatest Rock shows I've ever seen. This band kicks ass!!!

[@AzTony51504life]

Can't wait to relive 40 years ago :)

[@you-perezman]

Tremendous Band.....some songs I associate with Rush....they are First Class Musicians....Greetings from Argentina

[@guymajor7103]

I heard a segment in la villa stangiato in lay it on line going into his solo!

[@andrewbecker3700]

I've watched this performance soo many times already, but it's still one of the best, not only that great day, but ever. Triumph may be the most underrated rock band of all time.

[@billregan3232]

I'll never forget when these guys played this show. I was there for the weekend. Flew out with friends from Syracuse and had a blast. At the time Triumph played, which was the second day, I was so roasted from the sun. I was able to find a sliver of shade to sit down in and listen to them. It was unbelievably hot and dry! When I got back after the weekend, I had water blisters on my back! The whole experience was one of a kind though.

[@randallcrenshaw]

Drove from NM & slept in my T- bird

Woooo Hoooo!! Triumph was SO amazing. Can't wait!!

[@michaelrada725]

Triumph kicks!! Saw them 22 times since the beginning all in NJ where I'm from, clubs that are not around anymore but man they were awesome! This is a great video THANKS!

[@vincecuthbert69]

These guys and Rush are Canada's favorite Rock Bands..

April Wine?

Some really great music came from there back in the day...nothing like that will ever come 0nce again... What an "Era" 🎶🎶🎵🥰

[@jameslujack1717]

The Collectors.....thee most amazing bands...they knew classical music construction like an "a"them and the less dominant one.😘😎shout out to Spanish Ontario.

[@misterslats]

April Wine, Guess Who, Chilliwack, Max Webster, Harlequin.

[@pbaker7160]

Probably the best sounding band at the entire festival.

[@moosic2i]

Maybe but That is not the live audio from that gig! Remixed, eq'd, heavy compression etc etc. Live music simply does not sound like that!

[@Frip36]

I tend to agree with you Moosic. Especially back then. They just sound too good. Not dry and thin like I remember it from bootleg recordings back then. Although, actually being there it may have sounded great. @@moosic2i

[@MrDDawson]

Much love to you three. Cause I had the music in me I went on to be a player and singer and made a great time/living at it. Had the pleasure of seeing you for thunder 7 and sport of kings in TO and so many bands could have learned from you guys. Thanks for posting this amazing show for us!

[@gregmcguyer9270]

One of my favorite rock bands, great talent! need to be inducted to Hall of fame. Im 59 now and still listen to them. Look at everyone in the crowd. NO one was fat then!

[@Ioncandi]

haha We ate junk food everyday as kids in the 80's and never gained any weight. i think it's a cross between being super active and the food is processed like crap now.

[@jmzochsnrtr]

One of the best shows I've ever seen.

[@ohm8458]

This is really cool. I saw these dudes after they played here at The American Rock Festival at The Timber Ridge Ski Resort Northwest of Kalamazoo Michigan. It was 90+degrese that day and 50k rockers (an unusual event for a rock fest in the middle of nowhere). Ozzy was there,, Ratt.. Motley Crue.. Night Ranger, Quiet Riot and Accept. Yeah it was hot as hell that day man but I stood there 5 rows back watching Rik Emmet jamming in front of me. He was brilliant,, Triumph was on fire back then. They looked JUST like they are here Lol. Seeing this really jarred loose some great memories of that day! I wish you could offer a T- Shirt from that incredible day at Timber Ridge Ski Resort??? 😁Triumph's music will live on forever!!! Thanks for the upload. 🤘

[@scottswidler8871]

That was a helluva concert and it was soooo damn hot outside.🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ohm8458]

@@scottswidler8871 What a killer line up and day of hard rock. That was history for Michigan,, and yes.. it was hot as hell man! We got there really early before the traffic got insane. Man I was 22 then. I'm 60 now, Lol- still remember most of it... still have my ticket stub!!!! It really sucks they didn't film that whole event! 🤘

[@franciscod.irlandamendez6727]

Looking forward 🎉awesome guys in Triumph! We gonna tear the roof up tonight with a spellboud and a magic power indeed!

[@dearld]

Taking me back to my teen years ! Fucking awesome !!!!

[@frankjordan8594]

Can't wait, I hope they will be doing a tour to follow this up. Please include The Canyon Club in Agoura, California (Los Angeles) in your tour schedule.

[@taramedrano16]

Hey Frank!! I saw Rik in 2108 (i think i got the right date) at the Canyon Club!!! Rock On!!

[@bigwerrmwindycity5619]

Underrated is an understatement..this band Hall of Fame material this dude can sing ,I’m from the the hood who grew up listening to R&B music but I knew who Triumph was and listened to them back in the day ✊🏾

[@dwightvoeks9970]

Right on brother

[@BerserkSquirrel]

Hope they removed the mid solo interviews. The editor should be shamed. Mid Rik Emmettt solo Interviewer: "What are your greatest goals?" Some guy: "Be a better writer. Maybe write"

[@DavidSmith-ju6bv]

As if we were going to get bored watching Rik do his guitar magic. I agree... the editor should be shamed! (Of course, I didn't mind the insertions of hot chicks dancing in the crowd.)

[@SCrepresent]

I was there, and Triumph was absolutely frickin great ! I was within 100 yards of the stage so I could see them really well, and they were just great. I loved all of the bands that played that day & its a day that I will never forget but atleast for me, they were my favorite act that day. When you're a 3 piece band, you need to be tight & have your 💩 together & those 3 guys did that day for sure 🤘 Rik Emmet is a fantastic guitar player too but they are all really good musicians 👍

[@neilparks8828]

I was there as well. I went to Colton high and lived in San Bernardino. This was the last concert before I went in the military.
