Of all the underestimated, under-appreciated rock and roll bands of all time, Triumph must be number one. Why is a mystery to me. Great songs, great musicians, great live performers. I discovered these guys way back when they debuted "American Girls", and have been a fan ever since.

[@johncopple6479]

American Girls is probably one of my favorite Triumph songs. It rocks,it's true , and it's funny! Should have been a hit!

Mr. Rik Emmett Mr. Mike Levine Mr. Gil Moore Version Killer From Joe Walsh ⚡🔥🎸👊💪🤘😎 Great Band From Canadian ⚡🔥👊💪🤘😎

[@sixstringlove8242]

Damn, you know how hard it is to sing and play drums at the same time? Very difficult. That is why you don't see it done very often, and to be done as well as this...this is a timeless cover of Joe Walsh's hit. Magic!

[@deannabriggs651]

That's why Gil was one of me favorite drummers who never got his just due in my opinion!

[@roblennon4508]

It's not hard. I've been doing it for 30 years.

[@forgames1120]

Gil is fav, loved Triumph from the beginning... Rik is amazing

[@chuckieinmt5094]

Ha! I listened to this version for years and thought Joe had covered Triumph - ;-)

[@freakshow771]

and who are you?

[@ICanSellYou]

Emmett is a bad ass guitar player...wow!

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

This is an awesome cover. Triumph certainly knows how to kick it. That's saying a lot since my absolute fave guitarist to watch perform is Joe Walsh. Joe has so much Rock N Roll swag .. makes my heart happy. You can tell he loves rocking out. Plus Joe has a great sense of comfortable stage humor. So yeah my fave rendition of this song is the original artist Joe Walsh. However Triumph was astounding. Loved how Gil took over as lead singer here .. that was the ticket for this song imho. Of course have to add the magnificent guitar riffs by Rik were as always plain ear gasms❣️ One of the best covers I've experienced .. Ty

[@rustytimetraveler]

Gil sang like half their stuff. He was Triumph. Listen to American Girls or something from their earlier years. Gil sang quite a lot really especially in concert. Rik did sing more and more and commercially, it paid off. Like the Eagles gradually changing to more Don Henley over Glenn Frye.

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

Eagles are a band with several great singers.Like you were saying very few have 2 great singers.

[@stevelynch5843]

Before Eddy there was Rik, voted best guitar player 3 years in a row, Rik was more versatile could play anything

[@Snowdogkh]

Agreed on Lifeson and Emmett being so underrated but I think what most people don't realize is how freaking good Eddie is it rhythm guitar. He is fantastic. That said I'm a huge Lifeson fan as well. As long as we're going there I'm going to throw Gilmore into the mix. Great guitarist as well. It's not about speed.... it's about how well a player can service the song.

[@andylaw4988]

@@Snowdogkh for someone to even THINK rik is on par with Edward, well, I'm glad YOU bring EVH rhythm skills into the conversation...without a shadow of doubt his most overlooked quality is his RHYTHM. His use of chords and voicing was second to none. Emmett couldn't hold a candle to EVH. Period. Stay safe and well

[@andylaw4988]

EVH buried Emmett and ALL others. Yes I'm a Evh fan and NO my statement bears zero bias. It's fact. Voted best in ANYTHI G is pure subjective.

[@sharrybucholz5786]

Awesome rendition

[@rustytimetraveler]

Used to love the completely different singing styles of Rik and Gil...but no matter who sings, it still sounds like Triumph.

[@coletrain3599]

Just picked up this record today and had no idea they ever covered this. Badass

[@210rocknroll]

Walsh moved from Cleveland to Colorado about a year before writing this song, which celebrates the scenery and the lifestyle of Colorado. In some ways, the song is a Rocked-up version of John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High, which was released the previous year. Both songs use the famous Rocky Mountains as a focal point for the virtues of Colorado. Great song and Triumph did it justice in this live performance...

Rik (The Rocket) Emmit is a truly amazing artist. Probably the most under-rated guitarist of all time. Eddie Van Halen isn't even close. Maybe he should play rythym for Rik. If you think I'm kidding, check out the acoustic work on Triumph's song "Blinding Light Show." It will blow your mind!

[@jckhammer]

first two albums were their best IMO. The sound totally changed with "Just a game" especially Gil Moore's drumming. It is like a completely different drummer and almost like a diff band. To me his drumming change was def for the worse compared to what you hear in Rock and Roll machine or New York City Street etc. Only thing that remained good was his vocals

[@rustytimetraveler]

I personally think he just got better and better. To each their own, I guess. Excellent drummer/singer! Maybe the best ever...

there was a cd where the Guitairist from Kansas joined them for a song too. its pretty awesome

[@sgo8563]

Hmmm, Rocky Mountain Way song by Joe Walsh or Triumph. I think i am leaning towards Joe Walsh, because he wrote it and kind has a little different version with the voice box and also Joe Walsh sings it kinds different . Plus Joe is a better guitar player.. But both versions are superb by either band.

Have to disagree. Love Joe's version & it is his song. But, Rik can outplay him any day!!

You will not here are harder Jam by three guys on recording anywhere. Nor will you are one tighter.... That jam is a freakin epic... and if I think I could probably read off another dozen were they really just let it rip. Again I love Triumph don't get me wrong they are a great band but Rush was just light years ahead of everybody and their talent not only in musicianship all three individually and as a group but there's songwriting as well.
