I have seen Triumph so many times and am grateful for each of them, especially the US Festival in 1983. They shined on a day full of the best rock had to offer
Well this was a nice surprise to stumble upon. I only got to see these guys once in my life back in the fall of '79. Didn't even know they had existed just 24 hours before. Funny story (sort of...) The night before they were playing, I had just gotten off of work at the local restaurant and I went over to a co-workers house for a little late night smoke session. The TV was on in the background and this commercial came on. Lights were flashing, smoke bombs going off, and some killer licks being played. Far out. It got my attention, then the announcer dude says "Tomorrow night at the Mandan Community Center". Well shit, I gotta see this. Made the show, had my brain melted, saw them do Rocky Mountain Way in the closing encore, and I was hooked. Scored the T-shirt, the program, and a poster. Then it got good. I was hanging out watching the teardown when someone came up and said "You gotta leave, unless you want to help teardown". One of the few moments in life where you did not have to ask me twice. I'm 61 now, was 16 then...and I swear I can still here the echo of that room that night. What an amazing 24 hours in the life of a kid I once knew....
This is an old post but that’s awesome. Kids these days are to lazy and would probably tell that person to F off lol. I grew up in Toronto and I seen them at my high school in the 70’ s ,and a few other times over the years they always did not disappoint. Amazing band.

: Luv it 😎👍! Copied it, upcsaled it to 1080p and 5.1 audio and added the chapter markers and song titles too (took some time but it was well worth it). Now it's in my digital library along with A Night Of Triumph, Triumph Live At The US Festival and Triumph Live At Sweden Rock Festival ! Seen every Triumph show in TO from '78 - '88 ! I've also met Rik and especially Mike numerous times !!!
I was at this concert. Great show! It was actually held at the Towson Center at Towson University, not the Civic Center in Baltimore. When it finally aired, I was disappointed by how much was edited out.
According to Setlist FM, they played Towson on the 21st & Baltimore on the 23rd. Any chance you would not have known about that show being only a few miles away a couple days later?
@ This show was definitely at the Towson Center. I saw the cameras and there was an announcement that the show was being filmed for MTV. I’ve been to both arenas, and this is not the Civic Center. I wasn’t aware of them playing in Baltimore, just a few miles away within a couple days back then.
Saw them in 85 at the Civic center, 17 at the time, great show, great night ... Saw Tears For Fears in 85 there too. Plus the Bullets too at the Civic center. Grew up 20 minutes away, great times. I believe this show was at a smaller venue, the Towson Center however.
I am so grateful for this post! It was the concert I was supposed to see! I had tickets to see this Triumph show in Corpus Christi, but the band got stuck in Dallas due to bad weather. UFO opened up, but half the crowd went back to get a refund when it was announced that Triumph was not performing. I stayed because I wanted to see UFO, and I'm glad I did. UFO played for over two hours, which was not common; atleast not in CC,TX. UFO put on one of the best shows I have ever seen! The only bummer was that Michael Shinker had already left the band, but the replacement lead guitarist was very good and played the parts perfectly! I was just a few feet away from the left side of the stage and could see clearly that Phil Mogg, UFO singer, was pissed! He was known to have a bad temper, and that he showed without restraint. I guess he was mad because Triumph was a no show and half the crowd got refunded, which means money went out the door. Phil broke every light bulb that Triumph's set had on stage during his entire performance. One by one, Phil would smash every light bulb he could reach with the butt of his microphone stand. I will never forget the look on his face, anger. But, he did sing every song incredibly well. If you listen to the live album, Strangers In The Night, that is what UFO played with a few more songs. That UFO concert remains one of the best shows I've ever seen to this day.
Since 1st (American) album. Come to find out they had 2 albums released in Canada. These 2 albums were disected to make the American Rock And Roll Machine album. Great stuff!!!!
I have been a fan since the 70's. Never got a chance to see them. They are on my list of favorite bands, for sure. Great playing, songwriting, killer vocals from both Rik and Gil. They really are one of the best rock bands ever, in my opinion, anyway. And I loved this band way before I got into Metallica, Slayer, that genre, which I love, to this day. There's one Triumph. They are fukking amazing!
I totally agree,I saw the Rock and Roll Machine tour in a small auditorium in Montreal.One of my first concerts as a kid,the tickets went for $3.50, had the poster for almost 30 years on every wall in my travels.Teaze was the opening band and blew us away but Triumph came on and kicked everybody's ass.They only had two albums out back then so they played their heavier earlier songs,I wore the T-shirts right to rags.
No disrespect to Neil , but Rush needs to have one last tour with Gil on the skins !! I played over a decade with Head East and can say that Gil Moore is the best drummer I have ever witnessed in my life . He’s Canadian and is the only drummer I can think of that could honor Neil, the way he deserves
The shining star of this band was Rik Emmett but Gil Moore with all his Pyrotechnic flamboyance tried to make his star shine brighter. There was a clear personality conflict in this band and i believe it's what ultimately lead to their demise!
Trios are the best! You don't need anything more than Guitar, Bass & Drums. Cream, ZZ Top, Motörhead, Rush, Robin Trower Band, Grand Funk (without Keyboards)....
The drummer as kickass as he is sounds just like ted nugent back in the day when he's talking to the crowd uncanny that's all I got to say about that!!!!😮

I saw them on this tour November 1981. They became my favorite band from that point forward.
Thanks for posting this! It was on UA-cam before and was taken down. This was a great show and theyre a great band. Thanks.
Wahnsinn, die Band auf ihrem absoluten Höhepunkt 😊.

Lucky...
Thank you for this gem!
One of the greatest rock bands of all time.
La Mejor

How nice to have a concert from before the Never Surrender tour
I was at this show. It was incredible to my 15 year old under the influence mind lol
Great video, thanks for posting.

Mike Levine might be the most underrated bass player of all time. Solid as a rock!
Knew what to play and when to drop out. A monster.
I'll second that. The man could play a serious bass.
Awesome. Rik Emmett is a monster!
Fantastic rock/jazz guitarist

Triumph, strong beer, hockey, beautiful women, RUSH.....as a Buffalo dude (walking distance to Canada) OH YEAH.
Buffalo loves TRIUMPH
Since 1st (American) album. Come to find out they had 2 albums released in Canada. These 2 albums were disected to make the American Rock And Roll Machine album. Great stuff!!!!
Hello from Pattaya Thailand ✍️💯💯🦁🌲☕
Saw them Oct 1981 in Detroit, MI. and again Mar 1982 in Miami, FL both great shows.
Thanks for sharing
This was an era that's gone
I saw Triumph at the Rosemont Horizon on Friday March 18,1983. It is still one of my most memorable shows. Foghat played too.
Iwas there too I think the was the never surrender tour
They draped mirrored balls in the ceiling and threw high powered light of them for effects on the song blinding light show
This kicks ass

Awesome!
Yes!! Thank you!!
Definitely three amazing musicians. They gave Rush a run for their money. I feel that Triumph was underrated. They kicked some serious ass.
They were at their metallic rocking peak here.
No disrespect to Neil , but Rush needs to have one last tour with Gil on the skins !!
I played over a decade with Head East and can say that Gil Moore is the best drummer I have ever witnessed in my life .
He’s Canadian and is the only drummer I can think of that could honor Neil, the way he deserves
An interesting thought!! Wonder if they have ever talked?
As good as any band in the early 80’s AC/DC Scorpions Van Halen they are Awesome and Timeless
Better songs imo.
The shining star of this band was Rik Emmett but Gil Moore with all his Pyrotechnic flamboyance tried to make his star shine brighter. There was a clear personality conflict in this band and i believe it's what ultimately lead to their demise!
Man, this Dean V Rick is playing here sounds much grittier than that Howard Roberts (?) Gibson at the US Festival in '83. Looks cooler here, too.
👏👏🎶🎼🎵🎸🤘
Don't let the numbers fool ya. This 3 piece band will absolutely kick your ass with ROCK AND ROLL !
Trios are the best!
You don't need anything more than Guitar, Bass & Drums.
Cream, ZZ Top, Motörhead, Rush, Robin Trower Band, Grand Funk (without Keyboards)....
Allied forces great record. I purchased that album when it first came out
He'll yes what a kick ass show your bro cosmic charlie triumph rules beavis!!!!!!!
Wie kent dit nog in 2023 👍
The drummer as kickass as he is sounds just like ted nugent back in the day when he's talking to the crowd uncanny that's all I got to say about that!!!!😮
What a sizzling show,Rik can do it ALL!
Jesus, awesome!
great band my fave ,rick burn those pants lol
You screwed up the date - there is no 23rd month
Killer band
