These guys are the most under rated band ever. Massive talents, massive techniques, and some of the most positive uplifting messages in lyrics. A really good rabbit hole to go down. You wont regret a second spent getting in it
Well did you see the size of that crowd? Not most under rated. They have a huge fan base. They probably did deserve to be bigger but not seriously under rated...lol. Peace!
That same stage that same night had Van Halen, Motley Crue, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osborne and Joe Walsh.... And TRIUMPH Was by far the BEST!!!!
While Joe Walsh did appear at the 83 US Festival , it wasn't on the same day as Triumph. Quiet Riot and Motley Crue were on stage the same day as Triumph.
@@dontmakemelaugh01 The US festival was a day for each of the top touring acts of 83 in order. It's what Steve Wozniak set out to do. Giving fans the chance to see al the top acts at one event. Each day New Wave Day, Rock Day, Country Day, and this one, Heavy Metal day. In order Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions, Van Halen.
@@dontmakemelaugh01 So was I, was working though. I'm sure you had a much better time than I did, lol. Was fun none the less. Think I was around 20 or so. My math and memory ain't that great anymore. There was a lot of new tech at that show. Stuff people use everyday, today. It's crazy looking back on it.
Having grown up in Buffalo I got to see Triumph at least 6 times, after this performance at the US Festival the rest of the country was able to see and hear what I already knew
This is the other three member band from Toronto, Canada. (Rush) Rik Emmitt the lead singer wrote this song for his aunt who was fighting cancer. Lay it on the Line by them from this same concert is also a banger. Cheers 🇨🇦
Don't forget the other other trio from Toronto "FM", or the other other other trio from Toronto via Windsor, The Tea Party, and then the Other, Other, Other, Other Toronto Trio "Klaatu".
Since you mention the hair, That is exactly how I wore my hair in the 70's & 80's. Part in the center and feathered back on the sides, My hair was a little longer though. I saw these guy's in concert for there Allied Forces Tour. Great band.
Triumph played in Florida the night before this performance and took the red eye to California. They didn’t have time to do a sound check before performing. Gil Moore, the drummer, is using a borrowed drum set. The performance was mind blowing but it gets even more awesome when you realize the circumstances behind it!
That's good trivia to know about the Florida concert the night before... I live in Florida but I did not know that... and as far as that drum set I always figured that was like a studio drum set that they had brought to that gig
Yeah they did that but still 5 or 6 live songs yo go from this show. "When the lights go down" is great at this show and you get a lead from gil moore the drummer who was terrific
Triumph over the years received many letters from fans who stated that the bands lyrics helped them escape from very dark places in their lives, with many stating listening to their music kept them from contemplating suicide. Rik wrote this song for their many fans who were dealing with such issues. Not only super talented band but also very down to earth and wonderful human beings. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
not sure why but these Triumph songs were our theme songs on our wrestling team back in the 80s, we were blasting this in warmups before all our matches.
The story I heard was the other bands were smack talking saying they weren't rock. So they went out and killed it. Still have my Allied Forces album to this day.
Many people will disagree with me, and that's ok, but Triumph blew everyone off the stage that day. Hell, Rik Emmett single-handedly blew everyone off the stage that day.
I agree that day at U.S. festival Was theirs...they be radio on the radio Every morning with me going too school.. 80s we falling out of that Feel...sure could use now...thanks
best group too come out of Canada is The Band then The Guess Who. Next tier Triumph Rush April Wine BTO. Thats my opinion as a Canadian. Too many good canadian bands. I am 60 and have seen all of them. Great music from up here .Peace
Emmitt has a much better voice as far as I'm concerned. And I can understand the words he's singing. I only get a few words out of each line when Lee sings. I have no idea what most Rush songs are about.
I was at this concert. It was fantastic! PS...I was standing in the back of the crowd before Triumph went on, soaking it all in, when I noticed a guy next to me. Hair pulled up under a baseball cap, sunglasses on, doing the same as me. I looked at him twice and said "You're Rik Emmitt aren't you?" He replied "Yes". I said "Don't worry, I won't say anything". He said "Thanks". An hour later ^^^^^. 😎👍
This was almost 40 years ago. I saw Rik Emmitt in a small university theater a couple years ago and he still has a great voice,mad guitar drills and great hair. He's almost 70 now . Probably 67or68.
These guys are from my neighbourhood . Gil Moore , the drummer works 5 minutes down the street from my house . I see him all the time out for lunch at the local eateries
This was on memorial weekend of 1983 a week after I graduated HS and myself and a group of friends ended up here at the US Festival. The US Festival was the end of an era for me. A few days later I reported to USMC recruit depot in San Diego to start the next phase of my life. Many memories of this time.
That was a huge concert for them. They were huge in Canada, but the US wasn’t that interested. Then fate intervened and I’m not sure of the entire story but they got the invitation to the US FEST. After that they were never doubted again.
I LOVE me some Triumph! Rik Emmett had the most amazing voice & was a sick guitar player (as we saw) -- was quite the stud back in the day (that tushy!!!! another crush I had! LOL) You've GOT to react to their song Lay It On The Line! /m\
Yes !!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼Throwback for me. Saw them at the Spectrum in Philly in the 80’s. Rockin out in the striped singlet!! And he still has great hair !! Lay it on the line is one of many other great tunes by them.
@@hmpz36911 absolutely. So many concerts and foggy memories of shows there. There was an older lady that ran the women’s bathroom like a drill sergeant. 😂 She was the best!!
Rik Emmett is a great singer but an absolutely insanely talented guitar player. You need to look up the solo from this show or some of his acoustic work
I was there!!, 16 years old at the time, went to see Van Halen, Scorpions, Judas Priest..etc (check out that day’s lineup) But Triumph rocked it!! Rik Emmett is an eminence Talent!!
Being one of those that were there (for the entire 4-day performance)...it was a great high-time. Honestly, you could go thru the entire line from any day and find amazing performances. It was a great time to be alive.
I had never heard of Triumph back in about 1982 but saw the Album cover of Allied Forces in a record store in Melbourne Australia and had to buy it. I am glad I did as it was a brilliant album. The title track, Say Goodbye, Magic Power and this among other great tracks. Definitely influenced by Geddy Lee and Rush but that's a good thing.
Similar story! I found the Allied Forces album in a record store in Nova Scotia (trip from the US), during the summer of 1982...and had to tell my friends about them!
The whole Allied Forces Album rocked. Had a beautiful killer time in 83 at the US Festival all three days The second day was the best. Motley Crew was invited because another band canceled. It was there breakout concert. The Warning had their breakout show at Rockville last weekend in Florida.
@@benclark2026 I think it was Def Leppard. It's been so long ago. I lived in Hermosa Beach saw the crew all the time. First saw them at.Madame Wongs in west LA. Also saw bands like No Doubt, The Police, the Knack there.
What a great band. Such great musicianship and great vocals between Rick Emmett and Gil Moore. Also smart businessmen. They were the only performers at the US Festival to negotiate in the copyright to their performance. They still get paid every time someone watches it
Another trio from Canada, these boys also rock the place down .....I remember they were the only ones that released their spot on US festival concert. I still have my official copy on VHS.
Not the U.S. festival, but the Us Festival. Glen Helen park, Devore, California. I got to go to both Us 82 and Us 83. Those were my junior and senior years in HS. My dad was an executive with the county and I had all access all three days, both events. It was a hell of a show. I asked my dad if he could get a few tickets for some friends. He handed me a manilla envelope full of tickets. I gave away about 200 general admission passes to my friends at school. Such a good time. I'm glad you guys picked Triumph and this particular performance. I think they are seriously under-rated. Their sound is so good. I got into them about 1980 and haven't looked back. Several of their performances at Us 83 were captured and they are all awesome. They were quite a bit better than some other performers who were so wasted by the time they went on, they did not deliver. Steve Wozniak, introduced the band that day. Great stuff!
I was lucky to see them in their prime, late 80’s, Alaska, front row on the never surrender tour! Rick, one of the best, underrated guitarist ever, and vocalist! Simple!!!
You guys are a hoot! I saw Triumph 4 times live, and I remember one show Rik Emmett broke a string and I swear he looked right down at me, shrugged his shoulders and then shredded like his fingers were on fire. They were such a great live band!
Rik Emmett !! One of my early rock idols. He slung his guitar high like that because he played classical and flamenco guitar to start with. In guitar posture you have the Rik position ⬆️ and the Emppu position⬇️and everywhere in between 😂
My next-door neighbor was at this concert he was in the Marines and he was stationed near were they had the US Festival so him and a couple of his Marine Corp buddies went to this Festival
Probably the first time most of those people ever heard Triumph. They were great. Seen them twice in the 70's when I was in high school. Damn! Forgot how good they were. Totally live, real.
This was metal day of the festival. They shared the stage with Van Halen, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Quiet Riot, but they pretty much stole the show. Almost any song you check out by them is a live version because that's their strength, not just the pyro and lasers but just how tight they play together.. Proud to say class of 85 here, this was my generation.
Very refreshing to see two young people appreciating music from 40 years ago. Triumph were absolute beasts. And their guitar player singer Rick Emmett is among the best ever.
They are awesome live. Went to see them in the 80's and good stuff. Rik had a amazing voice and no help from auto tune. And oh yes guitar... great stuff and great reaction as always.
I've followed you guys for a couple of years!! I can't believe you didn't include the Rush reference in their body of work!! They're both from Canada & a 3 piece group as well!! The similarities are unreal!! I still love you guys!!
Was fortunate enough havre seem Triumph live and to see Rik and the boys do it live helped build my appreciation for rock! Riks vocals and playing just made you wanna slap yo mama!🤣🤘
I get goosebumps every single time I watch this. Pure energy
These guys are the most under rated band ever. Massive talents, massive techniques, and some of the most positive uplifting messages in lyrics. A really good rabbit hole to go down. You wont regret a second spent getting in it
Here, here!!!
All three could really play, all three could sing. Agreed. Them and April Wine are two of the best, least-known bands from that era.
@@s.mcpherson6354 April Wine is anither tremendous canadian band
@@s.mcpherson6354 , So true about April wine! Never understood why they didn’t last longer!
Well did you see the size of that crowd? Not most under rated. They have a huge fan base. They probably did deserve to be bigger but not seriously under rated...lol. Peace!

Saw them in 82 with Journey. They were practically perfect. Best drummer I’ve ever seen.
Rick Emmet is such a special musician that has the ability to sing as good as he plays. No other has that combo.
In the 80s I considered him the best front man in rock.
Right on!!! He was the greatest
add Terry Kath to that :)
Having grown up in Buffalo I got to see Triumph at least 6 times, after this performance at the US Festival the rest of the country was able to see and hear what I already knew
By far the best rock performance in an open air concert. The sound, the crowd, everything. I play this video loads of times. I wish I was there.
This is the other three member band from Toronto, Canada. (Rush) Rik Emmitt the lead singer wrote this song for his aunt who was fighting cancer. Lay it on the Line by them from this same concert is also a banger. Cheers 🇨🇦
Don't forget the other other trio from Toronto "FM", or the other other other trio from Toronto via Windsor, The Tea Party, and then the Other, Other, Other, Other Toronto Trio "Klaatu".

I saw these guy's in concert for there Allied Forces Tour. Great band.
A very underated band! Trimuph was and is awesome !
April Wine is another.
Another great Canadian 3 man rock band!😀👍✌
I was at this show, about 100 feet from the stage. What a day.
👌😂👍you lucky 🍀 dog! 🐶

shows how talented they all were back then. Rik's vocals are the BEST they have ever been right here.
One of the greatest bands of ALL TIME ... it's a fact not fiction. TRIUMPH ! So thankful to have seen them multiple times live in concert.
This was one of the greatest live sets ever. This festival took Triumph, already big no doubt and made them superstar rock legends
Vote them into Rock & roll hall of fame.
Those Canadian boys can rock.
The whole performance these guys did at the U.S. Festival in '83 was so freaking AWESOME! React to "Lay it on the Line" from this same show!
They did that one already. It was their first for Triumph. Look back on their reaction list and find it.
Yeah they did that but still 5 or 6 live songs yo go from this show. "When the lights go down" is great at this show and you get a lead from gil moore the drummer who was terrific
They stole the show in my opinion....Way better live band than Van Halen was.
As a Canadian I am so proud of our amazing rock bands ,incredible talent . Triumph is from my hometown here .
Triumph over the years received many letters from fans who stated that the bands lyrics helped them escape from very dark places in their lives, with many stating listening to their music kept them from contemplating suicide. Rik wrote this song for their many fans who were dealing with such issues. Not only super talented band but also very down to earth and wonderful human beings. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
My first concert,great band
not sure why but these Triumph songs were our theme songs on our wrestling team back in the 80s, we were blasting this in warmups before all our matches.
Rik Emmitt is and always has been an incredible guitarist and front man. ROCK ON🎸🎸🎸
It’s fun watching people discover the talents of Triumph in 2022 - They now know what I’ve loved for 40+ years .
The story I heard was the other bands were smack talking saying they weren't rock. So they went out and killed it. Still have my Allied Forces album to this day.
Many people will disagree with me, and that's ok, but Triumph blew everyone off the stage that day. Hell, Rik Emmett single-handedly blew everyone off the stage that day.
Yes they did.
I agree that day at U.S. festival
Was theirs...they be radio on the radio
Every morning with me going too school.. 80s we falling out of that
Feel...sure could use now...thanks
this performance is legendary! I agree with you. This is the year I graduated High School....good memories.
I was there in 83. And you are correct! Their Show was exceptional!! Priest was amazing as well
agree, they were great,blew VH off the stage. I was there the whole festival! tripping on acid
Another great three man band out of Canada. I know Rush is considered #1 and no arguments, but Triumph is a very close 2nd for me.
best group too come out of Canada is The Band then The Guess Who. Next tier Triumph Rush April Wine BTO. Thats my opinion as a Canadian. Too many good canadian bands. I am 60 and have seen all of them. Great music from up here .Peace
I agree but as good as Rush is, and how many great songs they have, none are better than this one.
Anvil is def 3rd!!
Emmitt has a much better voice as far as I'm concerned. And I can understand the words he's singing. I only get a few words out of each line when Lee sings. I have no idea what most Rush songs are about.
Mahogany Rush should be in there too. Frank Marino is a beast.
This song still brings the goosebumps after all these years!!
Saw them in 1986. Blew me away!
Such a huge sound from only 3 musicians!
I was at this concert. It was fantastic! PS...I was standing in the back of the crowd before Triumph went on, soaking it all in, when I noticed a guy next to me. Hair pulled up under a baseball cap, sunglasses on, doing the same as me. I looked at him twice and said "You're Rik Emmitt aren't you?" He replied "Yes". I said "Don't worry, I won't say anything".

Love this one and "Lay it on the Line"
Magic Power, same concert GO DO IT!!!
This was almost 40 years ago. I saw Rik Emmitt in a small university theater a couple years ago and he still has a great voice,mad guitar drills and great hair. He's almost 70 now . Probably 67or68.
I forgot how great they were! Love how you guys react to these 80s bands! Fun!
Masters of their craft!❤️👍
These guys are from my neighbourhood . Gil Moore , the drummer works 5 minutes down the street from my house . I see him all the time out for lunch at the local eateries
Glad people are still discovering this diamond of a band.

A few days later I reported to USMC recruit depot in San Diego to start the next phase of my life. Many memories of this time.
For me it was the summer before I started High School... I remember listening to it on the radio... Thank you for your service
that is wild....I graduated in 1983 also but I lived in VA Beach...Wish I had seen this live.
I love the sound of TRIUMPH in the morning.
SOUNDS LIKE VICTORY 🤟
I was there. 3-4 rows back Center Stage. What a Great Weekend it was.
What I remember of it. Lol
There has got to be something in that Canadian water that make awesome rock bands.
Wrote this song for his aunt who was dying from cancer.
Up there with Rush as far as top Canadian three piece band.
That was a huge concert for them. They were huge in Canada, but the US wasn’t that interested. Then fate intervened and I’m not sure of the entire story but they got the invitation to the US FEST. After that they were never doubted again.
Triumph had the best solid performance that whole day.
I agree
Love that Song. Another great 3 piece from Canada. Try Lay It On The Line, by Triumph also.
I LOVE me some Triumph! Rik Emmett had the most amazing voice & was a sick guitar player (as we saw) -- was quite the stud back in the day (that tushy!!!! another crush I had! LOL) You've GOT to react to their song Lay It On The Line! /m\

@@conrad98gtp Oh cool! I'll check it out. Thanks!
Rock and Roll Machine😮❤
Canada rocks, it’s cold here, so we have to rock twice as hard as anybody else to stay warm.
🙂
Super talented, yes. Always loved the voice of the drumer most. When you left their show you KNOW you got your ass rocked off.
I always love Triumph! And I always thought this guy’s were so underrated and appreciated!❤️🔥🤘🤟😎👍
Yes !!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼Throwback for me. Saw them at the Spectrum in Philly in the 80’s. Rockin out in the striped singlet!! And he still has great hair !! Lay it on the line is one of many other great tunes by them.
Sure i was there too! Never missed them❣ Spectrum was the best!
@@hmpz36911 absolutely. So many concerts and foggy memories of shows there. There was an older lady that ran the women’s bathroom like a drill sergeant. 😂 She was the best!!
Triumph was huge at that time. I was in high school. Lots of comparisons to Rush (3 piece from Canada). Amazing stuff.
One of the greatest Canadian bands ever. These guys just rock.
Rik Emmett is a great singer but an absolutely insanely talented guitar player. You need to look up the solo from this show or some of his acoustic work
Check out a channel called Ned Rocks and look up the Triumph show from April 14, 1985...Rik's solo on Rock n Roll Machine is the best one I've heard.
Saw these guy's in Amarillo Tx when I was still in HS, one of the best shows I've ever been to!!
I would love to have seen Triumph,Reo Speedwagon & Billy Squire in concert
Saw Triumph three times and REO twice. No Billy Squire.
Saw them in the 80s with Molly Hatchet. Great show! Always liked Magic Power and their positivity.
1985... I saw them with Molly Hatchet also. Unbelievable concert.
TRIUMPH BIG PART OF THE 80’s music WOW GLAD I LIVED IT !!!!
Both Rush and Triumph were the Canadian Super teams! They tag teamed the World with their performances.
I was there!!, 16 years old at the time, went to see Van Halen, Scorpions, Judas Priest..etc (check out that day’s lineup) But Triumph rocked it!! Rik Emmett is an eminence Talent!!
Triumph is legendary around here. Best power trio ever imo
Being one of those that were there (for the entire 4-day performance)...it was a great high-time. Honestly, you could go thru the entire line from any day and find amazing performances. It was a great time to be alive.
God, I still love this band. Thank you for doing Triumph.
I had never heard of Triumph back in about 1982 but saw the Album cover of Allied Forces in a record store in Melbourne Australia and had to buy it. I am glad I did as it was a brilliant album. The title track, Say Goodbye, Magic Power and this among other great tracks. Definitely influenced by Geddy Lee and Rush but that's a good thing.
Given that both bands came out of the Toronto rock scene in the mid-1970's that would make sense.
Similar story! I found the Allied Forces album in a record store in Nova Scotia (trip from the US), during the summer of 1982...and had to tell my friends about them!
The whole Allied Forces Album rocked. Had a beautiful killer time in 83 at the US Festival all three days The second day was the best. Motley Crew was invited because another band canceled. It was there breakout concert. The Warning had their breakout show at Rockville last weekend in Florida.
I never knew that Motley Crue was there because another band canceled... Do you know who the original band was supposed to be... Now I'm curious
@@benclark2026 I think it was Def Leppard. It's been so long ago. I lived in Hermosa Beach saw the crew all the time. First saw them at.Madame Wongs in west LA. Also saw bands like No Doubt, The Police, the Knack there.
What a great band. Such great musicianship and great vocals between Rick Emmett and Gil Moore. Also smart businessmen. They were the only performers at the US Festival to negotiate in the copyright to their performance. They still get paid every time someone watches it
Such a great band....underappreciated for their talent.
Rik Emmett of Triumph is why I started playing guitar at 12 years old. Saw the Allied Forces tour in 1982 my first concert. Awesome
Another trio from Canada, these boys also rock the place down .....I remember they were the only ones that released their spot on US festival concert. I still have my official copy on VHS.
I was lucky enough to see them front of Rik literally a few feet away in Anchorage, Alaska during about this time, mid 80’s! Never will forget it!
So talented!! Love these guys!!
Welcome to the phenom that is Rik Emmett. Not only a great singer and firey shredder, but also a superb JAZZ Guitarist!
and classical
I saw them in a small club before they made it. He sings as great as he can play the guitar. They blew me away.
Not the U.S. festival, but the Us Festival. Glen Helen park, Devore, California. I got to go to both Us 82 and Us 83. Those were my junior and senior years in HS. My dad was an executive with the county and I had all access all three days, both events. It was a hell of a show. I asked my dad if he could get a few tickets for some friends. He handed me a manilla envelope full of tickets. I gave away about 200 general admission passes to my friends at school. Such a good time.

THAT WAS POSITIVELY EXPLOSIVE!!!! I had chills running down my spine and tears coming out of my eyes.
You guys are so much fun! A real blast! Thanks for all the videos. Great band. Under rated guitar player for sure.
I was there and it was killer! you should check out all the bands at the U.S Festival 100,000 plus people and no one died! Amazing show!
YES! Triumph finally getting some love and recognition. They deserved this year’s ago.
Rik Emmett !! One of my early rock idols. He slung his guitar high like that because he played classical and flamenco guitar to start with. In guitar posture you have the Rik position ⬆️ and the Emppu position⬇️and everywhere in between 😂
I always thought it looked really cool the way he held his guitar up high... Steve Howe also did that...
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!❤😊🤘
Such a great band from my childhood. They have so many great songs.
Magic Power by them is a great tune
So cool to see a reaction to this great song & band, almost forgot how it sounded & sorry I never saw them live....great live video & cool reaction !
Such a awesome band. Rik Emmet is just so awesome it’s kinda unbelievable. He was made to do that. Insane vocals & guitar skills.
My next-door neighbor was at this concert he was in the Marines and he was stationed near were they had the US Festival so him and a couple of his Marine Corp buddies went to this Festival
got to love the 70's - especially the clothes and the hair!!!
Nice one guys! I love Triumph! I wish they would get back together. They are all still alive and well the last I new.
I've seen many, many concerts and Triumph remains the best show I've ever seen! Stunning musicians!
Probably the first time most of those people ever heard Triumph. They were great. Seen them twice in the 70's when I was in high school. Damn! Forgot how good they were. Totally live, real.

Everyone passes over the fact that Gil Moore on drums is an amazing singer songwriter and the owner of Metalworks recording studio here in Mississauga
I've followed you guys for a couple of years!! I can't believe you didn't include the Rush reference in their body of work!! They're both from Canada & a 3 piece group as well!! The similarities are unreal!! I still love you guys!!
