Rik Emmett sings with next to no effort...comes naturally to him!!!!! He is one of our many jewels in Our Canadian crown!!!❤❤
Possibly the best combo singer and guitarist ever.
Triumph, Maple Syrup, Rush.
In that order❤
He did back then. Even he will admit he has limitations now. It amazed me seeing him perform in the early 80s how he would hit every note live.
You guys NEED to watch Triumphs complete set at the 1983 U.S festival , They were in theyr prime ,and mopped the floor with every other metal band that performed that day - Rik pulls of the solo of a lifetime - Just trust me man , just trust me!!
Facts!
Yeah, they rocked so hard the sky watched!!!! Both lead singers in this band rock and all three kick major ass!
I was there! And yes, they blew every other band away. Truly one of the most under-rated, under-appreciated bands.
@@delopez1966 that's a big statement and I agree wholeheartedly!!!! 🤘🤣
My hometown!
Take a look folks, this is what talent looks like
nothing like being there kids...
because i was !!!
Rik Emmett was not only great rock guitarist/vocalist, but he was incredibly versatile. Jazz. Classical..Flamenco. He did it all. Better than anybody. So underrated.
1983 Foghat/Triumph standing on the floor in a small arena deaf for days, but so worth it!
Guys, as a Canadian, I am so glad that you are reviewing some incredible Canadian talent. Rik Emmett is one of the best. You guys by far are the Gold Standard when it comes to reaction videos. Well done lads!
You leave a Triumph show deaf, dumb (speechless) and blind - it's an experience like no other.
Another one of those 'How can three guys make so much noise?!' bands. Gotta love 'em.
I fell in love with Rik Emmett when I saw the music video for Never Surrender. All my friend were into Van Halen but for me it was Triumph!! I was 15. In the fall of 1986, Triumph played my home town Phoenix, Arizona. I was 2 months pregnant with my second son. I went to the concert any way. It was so incredible!! And at one point Mike & Gil left the stage Rik played a 3 neck guitar solo that was mind blowing. Unfortunately the band broke up. I have followed Rik for years!! He was my first love!!! Check out the song NEVER SURRENDER.
734am yes Donna I was 15 spring of 1983 Never Surrender Tour in Long Island Triumph was my Favorite band what songs and such a great live Band also! My first concert what a memory ❤
The drummer has a amazing voice as well and takes the lead singing on some of the songs.
Rik Emmett may be the best combination of vocalist/guitarist.
Outstanding at BOTH!!
SRV, Hendrix,Clapton etc. All great guitarists, but average singers.
Emmett is stellar at both.
He's up there with Hetfield in my book, and maybe better. And Geddy Lee. The longevity in the spotlight is the difference. Rik is way underrated.
He had the best voice of a great lead guitarist for me. 2 of my other favs for great voice and shredders are Randy Jackson of Zebra, Frank Marino mahogany rush.
I love how any time anyone says that Rush are the best Canadian 3 piece, someone mentions Triumph. And rightfully so. Rik is amazing.
Gilmour
Don't hate me, but I think triumph is a step ahead of rush in some aspects. Rush had a better drummer and writer. But triumph had a far better singer who could play lead at the same time. That's tough. No disrespect to Alex. But Neil was another world writer. If he would have been in triumph thing would have gone very different. For the music world as a whole.
They and Grand Funk are the most underrated bands in history….this was dedicated and written by Ric for his aunt.Cannot believe they had like 16 albums.
Yes on the Grand Funk comment, My thought, too,
I was there in Halifax. Epic! Epic! Underated as hell! Best concert I’ve ever seen. Besides Rush!
Fun fact… I was at that concert in Halifax. 👍🏻🤘🤘🎵🎶 and also saw that at the Us Festival in 1983.
this is when music was real - no bullshit. Either you were talented or you weren't. Band members could play multiple instruments and sing. It was a different time because music videos didn't require bands to look good for the camera. Talent was talent and you made it based on talent alone. What a great time to be young
Aloha, saw them in '83 San Diego...they had a fffing Halogram skull that said...and I quote..." it doesn't get any hotter than this"...peace
1979, Orpheum Theater, Memphis. Yes, great live band. Was a great era for music, period.
70s 80s were the best times in rock music history. There are no true "rock" bands out there anymore. To be in an arena with 15k+ people to see the bands live and feel the music was a feeling like no other. We would wait in line all night in law chairs for tickets to concerts to try to get a front row seat. Triumph was so full of energy and always a blast to your face. I've seen them 3 times and they never let you down. This is their best hit in my humble opinion. Yes it is an original song and it is ONE song. Nice pic guys.
I was at the concert in this video. 21 years old and they blew our heads off. 🤯 I will always remember it and I'm glad they recorded it! Thanks!!
There's a reason why John 5 said Rik is like if Eddie Van Halen was also an insane lead singer.
I can’t believe how much I enjoy watching people react to music that was such a huge part of my youth. Saw these guys a few times among so many others at The Spectrum in Philly. Many memories made cranking this up back then!! Love the way you go about reacting to these tunes. 🤘🏼
Amen!
Same here!! I get to experience it vicariously again through them for the first time!👍
Im addicted to peoples reactions to I wish i saw them when i lived in NJ
Well believe it
@Chris Henry so true. Kind of forgot about them until I started seeing people reacting. Realized once again why I loved them so much back then. 🤘
You. Guys NEED to see Triumph US FESTIVAL 1983. Triumph gave an unforgettable performance that day! Some say it’s the greatest live performance of the 1980’s…. Please do a reaction. TY.
"New Orleans Is Sinking" by The Tragically Hip
Legendary Canadian band - you guys absolutely need to hear them too.
This is my Favorite Band Triumph I only got to see them 9 times they are Amazing I saw them 2 weeks after this Performance at a football stadium at The Texxas Jam and they were nearly Perfect Rik Emmitt is Unbelievable this is fun watching your channel play more Triumph
Triumph..great band..I met rik emmit down to earth..human being
.close friends with Rush..same town as I am ..Toronto canada
Saw them in Kingston , Ontario Canada late 70's on one of the hottest, muggiest nights . Everyone was soaked but was one of the best concerts I have ever been to.
Fun to watch our Canadian talent drop on your laps forty years after it was in our day-to-day listening. Very cool.
Too bad they didn't have UA-cam 40 years ago so that people outside of Canada could have heard them. They were the first big arena concert that I went to back around '84 in Halifax (I think Helix opened for them) and they have always been one of my favourite bands.
Triumph was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I saw them in Amarillo Tx!
Best singer guitarest in rock period, Hetfield, really!
Saw Triumph a couple of times. Yes, the shows were all you could ask for and more. Thanks for the reaction.
saw Triumph play 6 times and was blown away. they are one of my fave trios. also include Rush and ZZ Top.
Canadain GEM
You want Rik guitar, the US festival Rock n roll machine. The whole song is a setup for his guitar solo.
Hey Guys, this brings back memories, I was at that concert!
I wish I had seen them live. Rik Emmett was one of the greatest Rock singers AND guitarists ever, Gil Moore was a beast on drums and Mike Levine was a great bassist.
The drummer Gil Moore was also a singer with Triumph. They shared that role. To hear the other side of Triumph, listen to Rock and Roll Machine.
I'm in Buffalo, countless times I've seen em live and Emmet solo guys. Your emotions are exactly the way I feel listings to em
🎉❤
They toured Florida often, and I got to see them several times, and they always left you wanting more.
My first concert at 14yo was Triumph, and it slayed me. I saw them again in '83, and it was equally amazing. They were a major live band.
I was lucky enough to see Triumph twice in the 80's in Vancouver. Two of the 3 loudest concerts I've been to, with ACDC being the 3rd. The energy of the show, and in turn the audience was off the chart.
I seen Triumph when they came to Detroit with Frank Marino and the Mahogany Rush as an opener. One of the best concerts ever. Miss the 70's and 80's!
Great song! My friend from high school loved this band and saw them in concert!
I saw Triumph in 1985 in Toledo Ohio. I had the biggest crush on the singer lol. But they were phenomenal! Molly hatchet open for them. But I loved that concert.
Okay back to the 80s and seventies my first time reaction to this group have had a heavy dose of Rush Saga Etc wow what a voice and wow what a guitarist to sum up I am widowed twice and completely understand where he is coming from peace
Triumph was a fantastic band, great music, and full of talent. I saw them 5 times back in the 80s.
I seen them about 10 times, they used to come to my home town every year from 1976 - 1987.
Watching Ya'll's reaction was Awesome I got to see Triumph Live 9 times starting in 1980 and the tour that you played I saw down front WOW! since 77 I have seen over 600 concerts Rik Emmett put on the Best Performace I got to see I got to see Eddie Van Halen live 14 times and he is Brilliant Rik had the vocals Defiantly could shread guitar and stage presents only wish we had another wave of that Great Rock n Roll your generation could see!
Aloha, if know Triumph then you know Triumph...peace
Rik Emmett is one of the nicest guys ever and such a talented and underrated guitarist and singer!! Proud Canadian too!! ❤😊🤘
Love hearing the younger generation being blown away with this band as I was back in the 80's. I got to see them LIVE in Florida during mid 80's they are without a doubt one of the best bands LIVE I've ever seen. God I miss the 80's!
Magic Power please…….
I have Parkinson's disease and some days are good,but they go downhill and I need to ask for help and that is so debilitating. I remember this song because I am 54 but hearing it now with my struggle makes me cry, so thank you guys!
They don't make them like Rik very often, once in a generation or so. Absolute prodigy on guitar and that voice! He often overshadows the other members of the band, but Gil and Mike are great as well, Glen has an fantastic voice and is a great drummer and Mike plays keyboards as well as bass.
If you guys read these comments know this- Emmett is a fucking god - you guys are a bit young to know Triumph but I saw them several times in the 80s and 90s - Rik can sing like no other - can hit the crazy highs with melodic perfection and power, is a guitar virtuoso( check out his acoustic stuff and he is a master of the flamenco style) and just a super positive song writer.. Triumph is amazing and i get a kick out of young dudes like you hearing this for the first time.
I was privileged to see Triumph in '83, '84 and '87 perform at Reunion Arena in Dallas. Saw Rik Emmett perform acoustic at a supper club in Houston in 2009.
With all of the negative things going on these days, Triumph and Rik always bring positive energy.
Glad I saw Rik Emmett and Triumph, back in 1983. Yep, incredible!
Saw them live in Hawaii when I was in high school in the 80s, July 14, 1983. Still have the ticket stub. Some of the best memories of my life. Triumph live was intense. Rush: Hawaii under pressure was another, along with the ZZ Top Eliminator concert in Aloha Stadium with opener Stevie Ray Vaughan, second was Run DMC, and then ZZ. Nothing like seeing ZZ spin their guitars in person. Intense concert. Three different crowds all in one place, and we all got along! Not like now.
Saw them in LA in the late 70’s, and they were incredible. Another great Canadian power-trio.
There is a blues Qatar instrumental that he does. It’s called Little boy blue that really shows off how wonderful and versatile. He really is a playing guitar. He’s got classic guitar songs like Midsummer daydream guys. You got a find these songs and play them. They’re awesome.
Dude, is that the MINNEAPOLIS LAKERS YOUR WEARING??? SWEET, Born and raised in Minnetonka. Saw Triumph 1986 Met Center Bloomington. I probably saw 100 concerts there. Triumph took the top off the arena!!!!! One of the best bands ever. Sorely underrated. Love your channel. PEACE!
Dude.. Triumph is my Canadian band.. But, nothing beats the live shows of the 80's.. so fun
in the 80s there used to be a sports car TRIUMPH TR7 and I always associated it with this band 😆
I've had the privilege of seeing Triumph live 6 times, 1983, the first and 1988 the last time. Every time quite the experience
check out Jeff Healey SEE the Light lIve - By the way he's blind
I was at this show. They always delivered and you got more than your money's worth.
Seen em twice when I was in high school in the 70's. Great live band.
The 80'S ROCK!!! , GREAT SINGERS IN THE 80'S
Yup, Old School here. I saw these guys on 4 different tours back in the day. Good band. Here are the other 2 songs of their’s that you should check out. By the way, I only recommend the harder, better songs from anybody. Most of the time anyway, there are exceptions. Ok, Blinding Light Show was their first, original, big time song that got attention and the Harder, Faster, Killer Blaster, I Live for the Weekend! It makes you want to air guitar and crack a beer! Cheers!🍻
Magic Power was a hit song too, but do those other ones first. Do the studio versions and crank UP WEEKEND LOUD! It’s Hard Rock, Rowdy! You will see, you will see. Ha Ha! More to come, remember my name.👍
you can watch this whole concert on UA-cam. one of best 80s concert you'll see.
TRIUMPH - BLINDING LIGHTSHOW - Total Epicness in one song. This made me a fan way back in the day. 😎🤘💯
I'm Gen-X seen them in Concert . They play Music for the soul . He is Rik Emmett look him up. Drummer sings as well but Rik can get up their !!!
Dec 31, 1986
Triumph / Kick Axe Northlands Edmonton, Alberta, Canada , I was there. lazer holographic face and all , what a show.
It's a reflection on the lessons from his beloved Aunt's fight and eventual death from cancer.
Hard to find a better, more eloquent tribute in this genre, or any.
I got to see them live 3 times. It was a great show no matter what venue.
Loved watching you reactions to this. I was at this show and yes they absolutely killed it. I had the pleasure to meet Rik after the show for a while, he's a really nice guy as well. ( Correction, had to check...met Rik after the show in 85 not 87) On the other hand, you were right about the song placement, it was the encore
I have only ever heard Lay It On the Line in the 80's. But WOW - this performance blew it away!!! That showed exactly what they can do! The guitar was on the left side the whole time. The drums were great too. That solo!!!!! ❤🤘🎶
I have heard this song only from reactions! Some of their other songs I do remember playing on the radio! I don't remember this on the Canadian radio stations I used to listen to, but then again I kind of dismissed this band in favour of the more popular Rush! I'm so glad I am hearing more of their music! They are amazing!
I saw triumph twice and they are a much better live band than studio. I find most of their studio stuff subdued compared to their live shows. Their US festival 1983 performance is one of the greatest guest sets ever. Its THAT good.
Check out rock n roll machine. Rik shines on that one!! The US festival
Yeah man I remember I was a senior in high school and my friends bought my ticket to go see Dio play in concert and my older sister comes running out of the house hollering , " I know where you going and I'm telling !!" , but I went anyways knowing I was going to get in trouble cuz I had the ride . But when Triumph came on , it was like , bamm !!! Freaking awsome man , I rember I been to a lot of concerts back then in the 80's
I was there and that's how he sounded. Except it sounded 1000 times better. That's the live version! They are from Toronto Canada which is 4 hours from where I grew up! Buy the live concert DVD you won't be disappointed! I saw Triumph 5 times and they are my favourite Canadian band!
Was in high school in 1981. This song brings back memories. Triumph was a great band. Still love this song 40 years later.
Me too. So glad I got to see them live. There'll never be anything again like it.
I actually saw them in 1986 in Miami Florida and the show was identical to what you see in Halifax. Of course in Canada they are going to give an extra good performance. You should see the whole concert of this, like it said, A Night of Triumph Live. They have laser lights and even a talking laser light head. That's how the show started and they had it in the middle of the show asking how we all were doing. Really an amazing show.
Sorry if someone has mentioned it already. The 4th guy on stage is Rick Santers. Another Canadian lead guitarist/lead vocalist from a 3 piece rock band called Santers. I believe the drummer was his brother, so why not call it Santers.
I saw this tour in support of The Sport of Kings (1986) album but it was in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens.
It weirded some people out but he added much needed rhythm guitar and backing vocals as Mike Levine rarely added any.
Rik Emmitt has called more people to the Lord than anyone of my generation. This song is possibly the best yet written! What a message in these CRAZY times. Speaking as a former touring metal musician, I NEVER saw or heard anyone in possession of this kind of talent. Seriously think about it: Lyrics, production, lead vocals with astonishingly precise and accomplished playing? Having watched them, up CLOSE, as close as possible actually I never saw or heard any perceptible mistake .....and all of us had on days and off days. Rik never suffered this ailment. 110% every song, every performance. It was an altering and simultaneously heartbreaking experience. I mean I came up hard and fast and I had to be a halfway decent player or...something ......when people are hurling this kind of cash around right?? If I practice 10 hours a day for another 30 years I wont be as good as Rik was in 1982. But I can tell you unequivocally the man has SERIOUS God given talent. I’ve NEVER seen anything like it...oh and he sings as well......REALLY well. He is EASILY an EVH caliber musician. And I hate that word: my father says it means “unemployed” so I never used it as I felt insulted maybe not worthy of that kind of praise. Rik is now and always has been a premiere musician of timeless talent.
Truly one of the greatest rock songs most people can't remember. Been on my phone FOREVER!!!! Do y'all get that chills up and down the whole body when dude hits those notes? I freaking do. Every time.
Triumph, the other great, 3-piece Canadian band.
Top 10 GOAT!
The loudest concert I ever attended was Triumph in 1986 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. I sat in the top section; my ears rang for weeks. Such great loud rock and roll.
Check out their Halifax concerts first song Tears in the Rain with the drummer keading the vocals. It has a great build and story that would do well in a film soundtrack.
I saw them 8 tours in a row!! ❤️❤️❤️⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact>>>>
He is actually a lefty, who learned to play righty!
I’m a lefty and lay right to! Kurt Cobain is right handed and plays guitar left handed lol. I still play air guitar left handed. Weird haha
I live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, the sixth-largest city in the country; it's borders Toronto to the west. Triumph is from Mississauga and they had a recording studio (it still exists) called Metalworks that was founded in 1978 by Triumph drummer Gil Moore. I interviewed Rik Emmett about 15 years ago at a music festival in Burlington, Ont. where I was a newspaper reporter. He was a very cool guy and talked to me at some length. At that point in his career he was playing a lot of jazz, blues, flamenco and classical guitar. He is a guitar virtuoso. Unfortunately, I never got to see them live when I was a teen and young adult. I don't know why. Stupid. Bottom line, Triumph's three members (including bassist Mike Levine) had a very acrimonious breakup with the group disbanding far too soon. They've never quite got their due because another contemporary Canadian rock trio named Rush had a bigger profile. Next up from Triumph should be Magic Power, Hold On, Never Surrender, Rocky Mountain Way (cover of Joe Walsh) and What's Another Day of Rock 'N Roll.
I imagine Rush’s success here in the U.S. killed Triumph’s success.
I was 9 rows back, swinging my tour t-shirt the entire concert. So underrated.
A grand freaking slam with 3 great musicians! The best!
Ok so let's all go down the rabbit hole of one of the most underrated bands of their time. Ordinary Man, Killing Time, Never Surrender.
Definitely need some more TRIUMPH in the world today!
I saw 2 of their shows in the 80’s. Thank you for reminding me how phenomenal Rik Emmett was.
Thanks for the great reaction! I saw these guys several times and they were a fantastic live show! Oh the days of Arena Rock!!!
Five times I've seen this live in the early to mid eightees. I put Rick at the top of my list for vocals including Steve Perry and Brad Delp. Every album has Rick doing an acoustic piece if you want to hear another side of his guitar talent. They're only a couple of minutes each so they're not really reaction worthy but on the side would be great. Midsummers Daydream from Thunder Seven is one I'd recommend.
Magic Power is another classic Triumph tune definitely worth a listen. Loving you’re reactions to music I’ve been listening to for over 45 years 👍🏻Tibbs
The greatest concerts I have ever been to. Triumph was a show!
Toronto used to overflow with talent in the 70's &80's (not just music either). Born there in 1963....still live here. It's shocking how far it has fallen in such a short period (I'll spare you my theories on why). At least i got to experience the golden age.
