I don’t know I was a teenager when this song came out I don’t think they run rated because everybody loves triumphs and everyone has a triumph album that I know

I love looking for these comments. It's the "underrated" comment. Now here we have a band that's got a 1 million watt light show, an audience of upwards of 80,000 people, and regular radio air play, but they're UNDERFUCKING RATED!! How much more rating would make you happy? Maybe we can change the name of a state, no, the entire country to Triumph! Maybe we can have Triumph History month! Hey, let's paint Triumph in gigantic letters on the moon so everyone can see it from earth. Would that be enough "rating" for you? drrrrrr

It always seems to come back to this concert. One of history's best.

[@AndersonHatfield-hk9qi]

I listen to this song everyday, and sometime twice because it's so good.

[@JoseGarcia-kr3xx]

I had a old jersey from these CATS ,loved it back in 84'

[@orientallady1]

I miss Triumph. This band I have been listening to in 1979 starting with Hold on.. then . This band aways had a great message to tell us.. I love the music and wish they would of had more songs out growing up. I was 19 going on 20. They were one of the most awesome Canadian bands... This group was amazing

[@DougShoeBushcraft]

Days grow shorter and the nights are getting long Feels like we're running out of time Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong You got to read between the lines Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid We can make it through another day Make it worth the price we pay The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive I do my best to do my part Nothin' in my pockets, I got nothin' up my sleeve I keep my magic in my heart Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby I am counting on you You know what you've got to do Fight the good fight every moment Every minute, every day Fight the good fight every moment It's your only way All your life you've been waiting for your chance Where you'll fit into the plan But you're the master of your own destiny So give and take the best that you can You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest You'd better think of something else instead You're so afraid of being honest with yourself You'd better take a look inside your head Nothing is easy, nothing good is free But I can tell you where to start Take a look inside your heart There's an answer in your heart Fight the good fight every moment Every minute every day Fight the good fight every moment Make it worth the price we pay Every moment of your lifetime Every minute every day Fight the good fight every moment Make it worth the price we pay

[@Wishpool]

Triumph was the REAL DEAL, the whole package, with amazing talent and uplifting lyrics! 💜

[@rhondamoore9842]

I was lucky to see them twice when I was younger. The raw energy you see here is nothing compared to what it was live. This is just a little taste of it!

[@Craig-x8r]

cool!

[@Zedster88]

I was there. Went over the front barricade during Triumph's set.

[@johnbaron8543]

Damn... What a band... Rik belting out those lyrics, and absolutely killing it on guitar. Then MIkes Bass and Synth, and Gil's killer drums, makes this band the closest thing we'd ever witness for a 3 piece band to ever be anything like RUSH... Plus being from Canada too, makes it all understandable. Never seen them live, and I feel I missed out. My cousin was at this show and said no one knew who these guys were before the show but it was all anyone was talking about after it.

[@calipete]

WOW! US '83! One of the most incredible music events of my life! And I was just a little whipper-snapper then! The US Festival is one for the history books!

[@dwayneard5997]

One of the Best..3 man bands of the Late 70s and 80s.... Awesome !!!👍🎸🤟😎

[@steveanthrop8475]

And late 70s. I graduated in 80 and was listening to them before that.

[@johnboytim3639]

And still only second best to RUSH in there home country of Canada.

[@I_need_an_oil_change]

Emmett kills Alex on guitar and makes Geddy sound like a dog that hit by a bus. But you already know this

[@ozzymd1]

Awesome performance

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

Fight the Good Fight Every Moment!!! YES!! Keep on fighting the good fight and don't quit.. don't give up! This song encouraged me through some very rough years and it still does today!! Thank you Triumph!!! Peace and love only ❤🔥🔥🔥

[@sandrider1962]

First Triumph show I caught was in '78 in Midland, TX..... Unknown band, completely blew my 16 yr old mind away.... fan ever since....

[@VangeliRock]

RIck Emmett could hold his own with any, and I mean any rock guitarist ever.

[@markmetcalf2670]

And his voice as well

[@jaschulte65]

Goose bumps ,raw! How can they sound this great live !!!!!

[@RikEmmett08]

Hello😊🌹

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

Framus AK1974 ftw. What a gorgeous guitar. 24 frets, hard tail, 2 humbuckers.. I never realized Rik Emmett played my favorite guitar.

[@marianomartinez133]

i´ve just discovered this band, what an amazing three piece

[@jeffwarren4938]

Yep...I saw them four times starting in '78! Huge stage shows when on their own stage/tours. Rik Emmett...virtuoso voice and guitar! Steve Perry once asked Rik, when they opened for Journey at the Rose Bowl, how he hit tjose high notes so effortlessly!!!!

[@TimWasiela]

What lyrics... So appropriate for this time in history what a visionary lyricaly not to mention badass vocalist .. loved it then and still do!!!!!

[@ralph_clay]

I was at this show. The US '83 Festival at Glen Helen Regional Park. 400,000 people were there. Triumph was Awesome!!!!

[@robertlewis4571]

3 piece band, and they are THAT INCREDIBLE!! Unheralded..

[@Wishpool]

Like Rush... both incredible Canadian 3-piece bands. What do they put in the water there?! 😏

[@stevenkrupka7852]

Awesome voice and great band!

[@RyansMom4Ever]

I remember when this song was released! Always been an inspiration for me to fight the good fight!

[@WilliamSchiller-mi7vk]

I first heard this song at camp Lejeune when I came home ,it was nice coming home ,this song still helps today..

[@sashasue00]

Thank you for your service!

[@williamdieleman-p7u]

Great Drumming! Great Bass Too! Just a Great Band.

[@thomaswhite884]

Yes the band is very good !! Triumph was an underrated band !! They have a ton of hits ! And their classic still sounds fresh today

[@tyrelhindley5375]

I have watched a lot of videos on here and have yet to run into a live performance that was so perfect in every way like this song at that place. It gives me goose bumps and makes my heart swell with Canadian pride. Fuckin love these guys!

[@musclecarmusic]

I agree....they really rocked the place!!

[@kevinwagner117]

Have you seen April Wine's Roller, its a top ten also. imo

[@dianethompsonbusch6005]

The good old days! Pure talent! ❤❤❤❤

[@MichaelMccoy-ks4em]

[@TheGrapeofWrath1]

Someone invited me to a Triumph concert in Dallas, 1982. That performance at Reunion Arena turned me into a super fan, which goes to show that live music has a power that cannot be pumped into vinyl. I went on to see them 14 times, and each one was a performance of virtuosos, and the best light show in the business. I'm so glad I never took this amazing band for granted!

[@dannytass9138]

I went to this concert. The US festival, went I was 16 years old, and today this song is still awsome in 2024.

[@BuIGdaddyT420]

Damn I can’t get enough of this love it gives me goosebumps

[@DaveStarks-ku2jd]

When Steve Perry says Rik is a phenomenal singer and Steve Morse says Rik is a phenomenal guitarist I tend to believe them......

[@GuitarMan3YT]

My very first concert was Triumph, UFO, Saxon. I was like 14yrs old. I went home that night and said to myself that is what I want to do!!! And I’ve been playing guitar and in bands ever since!!! Rik Emmett blew me away that night!!!

[@CSI760]

That sounds like a great lineup of bands.

[@DonMALOZI]

Gave me inspiration in the 80's- gives me positive chills now- awesome! ❤

[@nunyabizness1708]

Saw these guys back in mid-80's sometime at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin. They were the first band that I ever saw that made me think, "Man, they sound exactly like they do on their albums." I was really kind of in awe.

[@robertcox5948]

Was that with I think Saxon and Krokus opening? I was there that day too!

[@The-Stuff-I-Do]

Great bass tone! Everyone in this band is exceptional. Rik's vocals are aw.esome
