Happy New Year Sal🎉🎉🎉Thank you for picking this song. I forget about a lot of the good old songs out there... It's been a minute😂 This was a really good one❤and now I want to watch the US festival from 1983. I saw a pic taken from above of the spectators and it was shocking how many people were there. I think 670K in attendance 😮😮 Thanks for all the fun!!❤
Sorry, this is not the US Festival 1983 (CA) , This is from a Video from. (a night with Triumph, live in Halifax, Nova Scotia,Canada) I was at that Concert!!
MORE! Triumph is an epic Canadian trio that is really worth diving into. The drummer sings as well, and their songs always tend to have a really positive message like Magic Power, and Follow your Heart and lots more. Come down the rabbit hole, its fun down here.
Mike Levine, Triumph’s bassist, had a great voice, too. Their backing vocals were second to none! This band just had it all! A rarity in music. The 70’s and early 80’s music set the bar and, imo, were never surpassed. Triumph was a gem among even all of that.
I'm 70 years old. This band is now retired but I still listen to their music. I'm glad I grew up when music was great. I got to see all the cool bands. There's a few new bands bringing rock back to life. Like The Warning, Band maid, Love bites. They truly understand rock of ages.
I LOVE Triumph!! Rik's voice and lead guitar is hands down phenomenal. This band is just so gifted!! I grew up listening to their music and love it just as much today as I did then. Thank you!!!!! Happy New Year 2024 SalvoG!! This live version of Fight The Good Fight is amazing TRIUMPH - Fight the Good Fight (Live in HALIFAX)
Hello. Thank you for watching this great band. But that is a video. US Festival from the year 83' is something else. Freaking great performance. Concideres the best in that concert. Keep the good work!😊😊😊
This video was just released in 2010. The US festival that they played in was in 1983. A huge festival over 3 days sponsored by US magazine a competitor of People. Bands who were there were the Clash, Stevie Nicks, Van Halen, the Scorpions, Izzy Osborne, Joe Walsh, the pretenders, John Cougar Mellancamp, David Bowie and about 20 other bands!!!
It was put on by Steve Wozniak and Bill Graham (the first one) and Bill Graham was replaced as Steve's partner by a CO based promoter for the second one. Hard to believe they both lost about $12 million. The Clash refused to go on until it was agreed that $100k of their pay would go to charity.
Triumph, imo, is one of those rare bands that transcends time. Their music seems as fresh today as it did when they released it. Not only that, their lyrics are still relevant. It’s so easy to be a huge Triumph fanatic.
Canadian... check power trio... check.... hi vocals.. check.... Progressive rock.... check. So, I always thought of Triumph is kind of the Poor Man's rush but the truth of the matter is they were great songwriters and really had an identity of their own.
Triumph was one of those extremely rare bands that had it all. The vocals from every member, Rik’s especially, the guitars, the bass, and not last or least, the killer drumming, were all stellar! One of the few bands that were better live than on their excellent studio albums, and they did it all with only three members. Fricking amazing! Thank you for the great reaction! I loved seeing your eyes light up when the vocals, guitar, bass, and drums all kicked in. I could tell you heard the talent in those leads Rick laid down, too.
If you really want to see what Triumph was like live, US Festival - Fight the Good Fight. Arguably the best act of the Heavy Metal side of the Festival which included acts like Van Halen, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Quite Riot, Ozzy and Motley Crue. From interviews with Rik, he explained the band flew in the day of the event being mid tour and was already at top performance level and it showed as the band performed amazingly well.
Those trios from Canada are showing some promise. Yeah, this is a lip sync video, the US Festival is an outdoor daytime performance, but I'd check that out too.
Written by and sung by Rik Emmett. Rush is the main 3-piece band in Metro Toronto. Triumph is the second 3-piece band from the same metro area. Some similarities. But Rush went more prog as Triumph had more blues based rock. Both bands are friends to each other. Suggested video 📹: Triumph performs Magic Power 🔋
Triumph. Underrated, underappreciated and absolutely amazing. 3 dudes made all that sound and it still blows me away to this day. That voice is immaculate. And don't get me started on Rik Emmett's hair 🥰
Even though it was a bit simpler than some of the U.K. Heavy rockers or like Kansas this Canadian band knew how to rock and yes a great rock voice in their lead singer!Magic Power may be their finest tune!
Saw these guys in London Ontario many moons ago , one of the first laser light shows ever created . Honeymoon Suite opened for them . My sister and I elbowed our way to the front , by the end of it , we both came out deaf and stoned from the doobies blazing in the crowd ...... Best time I ever had with my sister 🤣
Very happy I saw them live - Rik Emmet is so underrated. Loved my Allied Forces cassette tape with Scorpions Blackout on the other side. Wore that sucker out!!!
Triumph is special. Their musicianship is fantastic. They were/are amazing live. HOWEVER, this is very obviously the studio version over the live performance. It wasn't necessary to do it that way. This US Festival was held in May '83 in San Bernadino, CA. You SHOULD look for that version, as it is a better representation of what Triumph was like live. I enjoy your videos.
I loved these guys even before I knew about Rush! I even got broken up to this song once lol PS yes he is like that but so were his band mates excellent vocalists!
My cousin's ex husband used to be the music engineer for them. I met them all at their wedding in 1991. Being from the Caribbean, I had never heard of them. They were all pretty cool.
I saw Triumph live a few times. Last time was at Kingswood Music Theatre at Canada's Wonderland (North of Tononto). Next morning in the paper it was announced Rik Emmet quit the band right after the show. There is a great documentary on the band released in the last couple of years.
Rik Emmitt was doing some solo tours for a while and played some small clubs. We went early, and he was sitting at the bar drinking ice water. We talked to him for a few minutes and he was incredibly nice and down-to-earth. He also put on a hell of a performance. He can play any style of guitar, from straightforward rock to Spanish guitar, to classical to country/folk, and he makes a 12 string guitar look like it's easy to play.
"Magic Power" is awesome. Live is fantastic, but for some reason I think the studio version is a little bit better. I believe you would enjoy that one a lot as well.
These guys split before 2010, this was actually from the 1980s. The US festival happened in 1980 in California. They were just one of many bands to play there.
Great song and band. I don’t believe this is from the US festival in 83. I think rather it’s the original video of them lip syncing to the studio version. There is a live version though from the US festival that’s great as well. Rick sings just as well live. At least back in the day.
Weird. Can confirm it’s not the US Festival because they performed during the daytime at that festival. It’s a great video too. The vocals are on point even live.
The two US Festivals were the creation of Apple's Steve Wozniak. One was in '82 and the other was in '83 near San Bernardino CA. They were three days long each, and included acts like Santana, Fleetwood Mac, B-52s Ramones, Police, The Kinks, Tom Petty, INXS, The Clash, Van Halen, David Bowie, and U2, so some pretty big names. The first one in September '82 was 110 degrees and there were a lot of arrests and ODs. The festival lost 12 million both times. As people have mentioned, this is the studio recording from '79 or '80 played to a live performance (but not the US Festival performance).
Yo Salvo!!!!! I'm back fresh outta the hospital for the past month. So glad you rediscovered Triumph !!!! Rik Emmett is a master vocalist and guitarist as you can very well tell which pretty much makes even the back/filler tracks on their albums absolutely amazing. My suggestion for next song would be "Fight The Good Fight" th-cam.com/video/OvOMyXOy_uk/w-d-xo.html ✌Peace✌
The drama of the dark blue soft intro, the first part that sets the pace, the epic guitar solo break, and the blowout ending, with a bunch of cool tricks like a mini guitar run for about 20 seconds after each verse, some 4 part harmonies at the end of the chorus, just for a second, a lot of wild drum fills, but all in short hits and a radio-friendly sound -- they have got it all. (hint -- this is not even their most epic hit!) They really make it a Rock Experience. They would have been so much bigger, but it was hard to find their records in stores back in the day, for some reason they were in the expensive "import" section where the prices were tripled in my town. I found them years later in a second hand store that had boxes of records under the tables for like $3. It is still a funny experience to hear a band on the radio (or see a reaction) and know "I had that record ... cool."
Not only phenomenal musicians but had an outstanding stage show.gil Moore the drummer was a pyrotechnics nut and laser nut. They were great Live.steve Perry once commented on the vocal range of Rik Emmet
Rik Emmett's voice was great on this, but I was at least equally surprised at the harmonies and almost choir-like backing vocals of the drummer Gil Moore and bassist Mike Levine.

@@henrysteves8075 Yep but it is live
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Festival
One of the most underrated men in rock and roll Rik Emmett
Sorry, this is not the US Festival 1983 (CA) , This is from a Video from. (a night with Triumph, live in Halifax, Nova Scotia,Canada) I was at that Concert!!
MORE! Triumph is an epic Canadian trio that is really worth diving into. The drummer sings as well, and their songs always tend to have a really positive message like Magic Power, and Follow your Heart and lots more. Come down the rabbit hole, its fun down here.
The 2nd best power trio from Canada! 😉
Totally agree! One of my favorite bands!!
1000000000%
The 1983 1 hr long US Festival is the performance is the one you got to grab from. It rivals Queens live aid performance... Epic !!!
His vocals at the Us Festival performance were mind-blowing. You have to check it out.
And he never seemed to have to strain his voice either. It all looked like it just flowed so easily out of him. Absolutely amazing!
!983 US festival,....Fight The Good Fight. You'll love it Salvo
Rick is special Way underrated guitarist and singer The best thing about him i like is his songs always have a positive message
When Rik Emmett's voice has a battle with his guitar playing, we all win.
Never Surrender by Triumph is another mind blowing video. High vocals amazing guitar playing.
Still got the album on cassette 👍
And just think...all of that beautiful sound from just 3 guys!!! Rik Emmett is a super talented muscian and super good guy.
Awesome voice and band - Rush’s prettier cousin.
😄😎
So - this is a performance video to the studio recording. This is not the US Festival - and not in the 2000s.
Triumph and Rik are really great though!
Hands down my favorite Canadian band of all time. And ric Emmett 1 of the greatest entertainers live. An I've been to over three hundred plus concerts
I grew up listening to these boys in the 80's small town Ontario!
And Gil Moore the drummer has an amazing voice as well.
Mike Levine, Triumph’s bassist, had a great voice, too. Their backing vocals were second to none! This band just had it all! A rarity in music. The 70’s and early 80’s music set the bar and, imo, were never surpassed. Triumph was a gem among even all of that.
Agreed. For me still the best. Great voice and of course, awesome guitars. A Maestro!!!😊
Canadian treasure❤Thanks for this. Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
I'm 70 years old. This band is now retired but I still listen to their music. I'm glad I grew up when music was great. I got to see all the cool bands. There's a few new bands bringing rock back to life. Like The Warning, Band maid, Love bites. They truly understand rock of ages.
An amazing underrated band, one of my favorites as a teenager
Love Thriumph!!!❤ Magic Power is another great song💯🤘📀 Thank you for Rocking out to them 🎧 Love your show ❤ and you too🇺🇲
Given that they're from Toronto,I'd say a 🇨🇦 is more appropriate here, 😆.
You know it is a great tune when the reviewer rewinds and rewatches right away.
‘nuff said.
Another great song - some would say the best - is “Fight the Good Fight”. Excellent rocker.
I appreciate your reaction. His voice is AMAZING and you called it out immediately! Triumph...extremely underrated. Rik Emmett...extremely underrated.
Great song but this is the studio version, which is ok by me, it's just not from the festival which is incredible. Happy New Year, Salvo!!!
Really appreciate you letting the vid play, then giving your impressions, instead of breaking in every few seconds like others tend to do...
“I don’t ask for much, the truth will do just fine”, we can all relate to that line.
Love love love TRIUMPH !!! 👍🏻🌼
I LOVE Triumph!! Rik's voice and lead guitar is hands down phenomenal. This band is just so gifted!! I grew up listening to their music and love it just as much today as I did then. Thank you!!!!! Happy New Year 2024 SalvoG!! This live version of Fight The Good Fight is amazing TRIUMPH - Fight the Good Fight (Live in HALIFAX)
Hello. Thank you for watching this great band. But that is a video. US Festival from the year 83' is something else. Freaking great performance. Concideres the best in that concert. Keep the good work!😊😊😊
"Magic Power" should be next! ❤
Yeah his voice is sick...so nice be born with that ability!!!
Saw them live! What an epic experience! If they were American or British they would have been as big as Zep. Rode the coattails of Rush!
Wonderful band that I love from the first time I heard them on the radio. Happy New Year everyone!
This video was just released in 2010. The US festival that they played in was in 1983. A huge festival over 3 days sponsored by US magazine a competitor of People.

Rik's voice just as impressive live.
Sends me back to FOREVER ago-LOVE it when younger people take the time to listen to the old music!! 🙂
Triumph, imo, is one of those rare bands that transcends time. Their music seems as fresh today as it did when they released it. Not only that, their lyrics are still relevant. It’s so easy to be a huge Triumph fanatic.
Young Enough To Cry from that same album is a great blues rock song.
When you said sir.. it let me know that you heard what you heard!. ❤
"Listen to him !" epic voice and God-Like lead guitar playing.
Rik Emmett is criminally underrated
Canadian... check power trio... check.... hi vocals.. check.... Progressive rock.... check. So, I always thought of Triumph is kind of the Poor Man's rush but the truth of the matter is they were great songwriters and really had an identity of their own.
Saw Rick a year or so ago and he was still awesome!! Unbelievable voice and guitarist! They were awesome as a trio! And better live!!❤
I don't ask for much, the truth will do just fine... Best lyrics ever!!!
Triumph was one of those extremely rare bands that had it all. The vocals from every member, Rik’s especially, the guitars, the bass, and not last or least, the killer drumming, were all stellar!

Thanks for this selection. The harmonies are amazing. Very tight three piece band.
Amazing singer and guitarist 🎸 🤘
If you really want to see what Triumph was like live, US Festival - Fight the Good Fight.

From interviews with Rik, he explained the band flew in the day of the event being mid tour and was already at top performance level and it showed as the band performed amazingly well.
Great group all very talented! Amazed by Rik's voice and his ability to play so well while singing, not easy!!!
Those trios from Canada are showing some promise.
Yeah, this is a lip sync video, the US Festival is an outdoor daytime performance, but I'd check that out too.
Their cover of "Rocky Mountain Way" was a staple for cover bands and house parties.
Also to have this much talent in just crazy!
What a great bad. I saw them 5 times and was unforgettable. Gil Moore the drummer sings many songs as well.
Written by and sung by Rik Emmett.
Rush is the main 3-piece band in Metro Toronto. Triumph is the second 3-piece band from the same metro area. Some similarities. But Rush went more prog as Triumph had more blues based rock. Both bands are friends to each other.

Nice to see you Salvo! These guys live around the corner from me in Mississauga. Great guys I talk to Gill once in a while at his school Metal Works

I seen them once awesome the drummer is off the hook!!
I have seen them 3 times. I actually seen this concert. Awesome!!!
The Us festival,it was a great show.
This Trio like Rush are from Toronto, so it’s no surprise the the guitar Singer Rick Emmett is great friends with Alex Lifeson from Rush ,
“Magic Power” & “Fight The Good Fight” are their 2 biggest songs !!! Off the album (Allied Forces) 1981 you will absolutely love them ❤️🔥🎸🤘🏼
Good Reaction! Thanks again!
Great band!
Bass player always reminded me of the Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz.
I loved these guys even before I knew about Rush!
I even got broken up to this song once lol
PS yes he is like that but so were his band mates excellent vocalists!
Rik Emmett is a musical virtuoso!!!! And Triumph is one of the best live bands of all time !!!
Happy New Year to you. You have made this old lady happy with your reactions. Keep up the good work. 💕🇨🇦🎉

Triumph was known for their light show
I saw them for this album tour, still one of the best live shows I've seen.
Saw them in concert in London, Ontario. London Garderns Allied Forces Tour.
April Wine - "Roller" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This wasn’t live at the US festival this is actually just the official music video for the song. This is a studio track.
It’s confusing, the copyright gives credit to “Live at the Us Festival” so I wasn’t sure
Weird. Can confirm it’s not the US Festival because they performed during the daytime at that festival. It’s a great video too. The vocals are on point even live.
Live in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Listen to Fight the Good Fight ... Great rockin' song, great lyrics, great back story and message ...
Kept me positive when things weren't that great.
The two US Festivals were the creation of Apple's Steve Wozniak. One was in '82 and the other was in '83 near San Bernardino CA.

✌Peace✌
You have to have confidence to wear that pink jumpsuit!
Yes !!
As well as backup and harmony vocals...are a few songs sung by Gil Moore the drummer who I think has an equally amazing voice.
This is definitely a sleeper and many people have forgotten about this banger
The drama of the dark blue soft intro, the first part that sets the pace, the epic guitar solo break, and the blowout ending, with a bunch of cool tricks like a mini guitar run for about 20 seconds after each verse, some 4 part harmonies at the end of the chorus, just for a second, a lot of wild drum fills, but all in short hits and a radio-friendly sound -- they have got it all.

It is still a funny experience to hear a band on the radio (or see a reaction) and know "I had that record ... cool."
What is their 'most epic' song? This is the only one I know by them lol!
That was insane! Never appreciated it back in the day 😮
Love this song, takes me back!! Happy New Year Salvo and all your viewers🎉🎉
Not only phenomenal musicians but had an outstanding stage show.gil Moore the drummer was a pyrotechnics nut and laser nut. They were great Live.steve Perry once commented on the vocal range of Rik Emmet
I've seen this band a few times. They played bars and arenas a lot. Paid their dues.
Rik Emmett's voice was great on this, but I was at least equally surprised at the harmonies and almost choir-like backing vocals of the drummer Gil Moore and bassist Mike Levine.
