One of the most underrated bands of all time!!!

Triumph is sadly underrated! Watch the "US Festival" concert and you will become a Triumph fan.

Triumph is a very good, positive message band. You might want to listen to Magic Power, Fight the Good Fight, Follow Your Heart, Hold On, Spellbound, A World of Fantasy.

There’s no singer/guitar player better than Rik Emmett !!! a virtuoso !!

Rik Emmett is an Absolute Legend a great Vocalist and a Maestro on Guitar

“Fight the Good Fight” is a must-listen

Triumph is ridiculously good. Gil Moore, the drummer also sings. You should check them out at the US festival in 1983. They tore the place down. I had the privilege of seeing them in concert in 1987 I think it was, if not 1988. Incredible show.

One of my favorite songs ever. Rick Emmitt, rythem guitar, lead guitar, and lead vocals. Another canadian 3 piece masterpiece

Another great trio from Canada!!!

Almost 50 Years Later and Triumph is finnaly getting the credit they deserve!! A True Rock n Roll Legend!! Go Canada!!

They had two great singers.

Great to see you doing Triumph. They didn't get the recognition they deserved. Other great songs to do in the future - Fight the Good Fight, Magic Power and Hold on Best venue to do videos from - 1983 US Festival.

Great choice, Burch. Listen to Triumph all the time.They are an amazing Canadian band.

One of the best Canadian rock bands ever!

Check out any of songs they performed at the US Festival in 1983. They killed it there!

Seen em at the 83 US Festival great show...

The "other" and mostly under-rated and overlooked Canadian power trio rock band. Vocal range and guitar prowess.

This girl loves this. Hold on and Magic Power on my playlist for years. Great choice you two.

That voice, those harmonies, those guitars, that solid base line, and those rocking drums. This is Triumph. What an amazing band. 🤘🤘

Massively underated band deserved so much more success. Especially for follow your heart

Another great Canadian band April Wine.

I was lucky to see Triumph in 1979 right after this song came out. I was a 14 yr old kid on the front row directly in front of Rik Emmett. Goosebumps the whole night!!

Such a full sound for a three member band.

The US FESTIVAL is a must watch 😅😊

I saw Triumph is 1988 as the headliner with bad company as the opener in Hollywood, Fl. Still remember how much we loved it.

Triumph was an incredible band!!!

Magic Power from the US Festival really showcases Rick's vocals.

As a canadian myself, i can say that i'm proud to have bands like RUSH and Triumph coming from our country, another great 3 piece canadian band, also the drummer in Triumph, Gil Moore is also a lead singer. Other songs you guys could do are : Follow Your Heart, Hold On, Spellbound, Magic Power, Allied Forces, Never Surrender. Cheers from Montreal, Canada!! 🤘😎🤘

It was weird how underrated they were, yet they would still sell out an arena two nights every time they came through town in the 80's. Loved seeing them live.

I will stop complaining now. You finally did Triumph! Rick's voice is excellent. He makes it seem so effortless at the high ranges. I have watched vocal coaches reacting to his singing and they are mezmerized. Some said they will show their students his clips to demonstrate how to properly do mixed voice. Thanks for reviewing.

They are one of the most crimanlly unrecognized Rock Bands of all time!!! Hell, this dirt road country boy used to crank Triumph in 1981! Canada was cranking out some kick ass Rock and Roll, their beer... Triumph, lived up to their name, they conquered!!

Great band. You should have her watch Fight the Good Fight from the US Festival. His vocals are terrific.

Check out their live sets from the 1983 US Festival, if you want to really hear his vocals go off the charts! Rik is so talented. What a blessing for music lovers!😊

This one n HOLD ON are masterpieces ! 🎸🎧🎶

Rik was the best combination singer and lead guitarist that I ever saw !

Rik is a phenomenal vocalist, musician and writer. Together as a 3 piece band, they rocked!

Time for some Aldo Nova Burch!

If you get to more Triumph, and I hope you do, check out the 1983 US Festival footage. Saw them in the early 80's, just after they added the lasers to their live shows, and they were great. Rik is a fantastic talent.

YES!! Triumph was awesome!! Rik Emmitt teaches music at Humber College of Music in Toronto, Canada. Still sounds amazing

Man this takes me back, such a great band. You know you're good when you're a 3 piece band that sounds so hmfull. Something in the Canadian water back then . We were all crushing on Rick at the time, so talented. He still does small acoustic gatherings, wish I could have seen them Live.

One of the most underrated guitarplayers ever. ❤🤘🎸

He sang as great as he played, one of a kind.

Not to take away from Rik, but when the drummer plays and sings at the same time, THAT earns my respect!

I would never say that Triumph was a predominantly 70s band as most of their success came in the 80s.

When the Lights Go Down from the US Fest is a must. Gil Moore(drummer) on lead vocals. Just awesome!!!

Are you guys kidding?I've been into triumph since they started very underrated band with lots of good fights.Another good one

I saw them in a concert promotion called The Summit of Rock and Roll in 1986 . Triumph 🇨🇦 Mountain 🇺🇸 &.Loudness 🇯🇵 Awesome. So Great to see Leslie West & Rik Emmett

Thanks for playing triumph, there are many more great tracks from another great Canadian trio... Other great tracks are fight the good fight and spellbound... You guys do a great job!!

If you interviewed Rik Emmett, he would talk your ear off. A friend of mine, Anne Erickson, interviewed him for her KZfaq channel, Audio Ink Radio, a couple of times, and his responses would carry on and on. I'm sure if you reached out to him, he would be glad to be interviewed. He could tell you stories about Triumph, but also his post-Triumph days as well as his teaching music and songwriting at Humber College in Toronto.

Rick Emmett lives about three hours from me. The last time I seen him was 2016 doing acoustic set just him on stage with a keyboard guy. He said about 30 feet from 200 people

Rick Emmett is a monster on the guitar with an amazing vocal range

Despite the added crowd sounds, this was the studio version. To get the full power and awesomeness of Triumph, you must listen to the live version from 1983s US Festival. Also, the song Never Surrender from the same US Festival show will blow your mind! And listen When The Lights Go Down from the same show to hear Dummer Gil Moore sing lead while playing drums.

There are power trio’s and there is Triumph. Such a great band.

Burch.........Triumph was such a talented & Great Candian Band!!!!! They're one of my all Time Favorites!!!!

Saw these guy's live in Amarillo Tx 1983, one of the best Concerts I've ever been to.

I loved Triumph during middle and high school!!!!

Triumph! Rik Emmett is incredibly talented. I remember he came to the music store I used to teach at like 20 years ago and conducted a seminar/live Q&A session. I didn't know he had such great classical guitar chops. Great guy as well.

A great singer and underrated guitarist of the time!!!! 😮😊

You have to watch them at the US Festival in 83 amazing

She needs to hear “Follow your heart”

Saw Rik Emmett play a solo show in the early 2000's, and for free. One of those after work outdoor concert series shows, in downtown Buffalo. Great show,

My Fav track by Triumph is follow your heart

One of the best concerts I've seen.

Y&T lead singer Dave Meniketti has been singing from the early 70s to today and played lead guitar from the start. He played everything from rock to blues

Was just talking about this band to a younger guy at work today. He never heard of Triumph and the moment he listened to this song, he bought their album on Amazon today lol. He's a new fan.

Triumph.................-----------******* AWESOME SONG **********----------------..............Lay It On The Line

Triumph has always been one of my favorite bands since 1979.

Rik also is a song writer as well. Rik WAS in a glam band in around 1973 for about a yr. called Justin Paige. They even have an album that Rik played on. Spelling of his first name was Rick back then. His memoir has photos of them on stage with their cross dressing clothes and makeup. It was quite the look.

Great band, saw them live in the late 70s in Seattle. Amazing concert!

Well, Alexis, if you or your hubby ever listen to classic rock radio, you've undoubtedly heard them at one point or another. It's a staple! Never surrender, magic power, etc. you have to listen to magic power. A perfect explanation of what music meant to us Gen Xers. Great lyrics, and music!

I LOVE Triumph. Grossly underrated band. Follow Your Heart is probably my favorite song.

Rik Emmett's idol was Paul McCartney, and being left handed he wanted to play guitar like McCartney. But his guitar teacher convinced him to use his dominant hand on the fret board, which is why his chords transitions are so clean and clear.

In the early eighties, Triumph were all over rock radio, Allied Forces is a great album

Please watch them at US festival 83, they were phenomenal! Love your show!

This is on my all time playlist. My high school love turned me on to Triumph & her. 🔥😎

Fight the good fight. Higher power. Lots of great Triumph songs.

Another Canadian gem of a band! Glad you (finally!) got to them.

Another great 3 piece band from Canada along with Rush! Rock on !!

"Hold On" is my favorite Triumph song.

Rik is very close to 70 years old now and can still hit some pretty high notes. His son hits the really high stuff now.

Another great and powerful trio. Only a handful.

Their live set at the US Festival is amazing and worth the watch.

Love this band !! My very first concert in Houston at the summit. Saw them two more times after that. An amazing Rock show no doubt!

One of the best bands Ive seen live as well as Rik solo. They match up against any other 3 piece band in the world at the time in terms of vocals and virtuousity.

I love all the first run Triumph albums with Emmet.

I seen them in Ottawa Canada because they are Canadian just like rush three men band in 1986 fantastic concert

Ricks voice is incredible but he Never gets his due for his guitar playing. He's a beast on the guitar. And they had a big catalog of hits. Magic power, never surrender, hold on ,allied forces..... Incredible band!

Triumph...a great Canadian export! Loved the band back in the 70's when I first heard them!

Thanks for finally doing Triumph, like you I always loved them growing up but didn't buy any albums. Listening today gives a whole new appreciation for the music and positive lyrics. Watch the video of their performance at the US Festival in 1983, truly amazing!

Saw them live three times back in the day. Excellent live band and live show, tons of pyro with a laser show. 🤘

It was more of their peak around 82-85. My favorite concert was in 1983, Never Surrender Tour. Magic Power should be your next Triumph listen.

Another band that you might not be very familiar with that you should check out is UFO. They were a major influence on bands like Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Metallica and Guns N' Roses. I would suggest Lights Out, Love To Love, Doctor Doctor and Too Hot To Handle to start with from their live album "Strangers In The Night" - largely considered one of the best live rock albums ever recorded.

Woo! Rik Emmett! My favorite! I'm a 54 year old fan-boy. Thank you for covering!! For a good time, check out songs, specifically 'Magic Power' from Triumph - Live at US festival '83. They were such a well-oiled-machine when they played live. The band has a lot of positive songs. And his music inspired me through some tough times in life. Hold On, In the Night, Fight the Good Fight, Never Surrender, Writing on the Wall, Time Goes By, Take a Stand, Never say Never, His solo stuff: Let Love Conquer All, Stand and Deliver, Only a Fool, The Longing, Way Back Home, Find Your Way, etc, etc, etc. (His music is the soundtrack of my soul : ) In his prime he would sing and routinely hit an E5. Although recently at the age of 70, he said he said he can only hit an A5 so he'll tune the music down, to stay in tune. He has said he would consider himself - first a writer, then a singer, and then a guitarist. Which is probably accurate... and completely nuts... because he is a phenomenal guitarist. Also... and most importantly. Rik is a gentleman. A kind and humble guy. Talks to fans, responds to mail, and makes a connection with us as we journey through life.

Triumph is GREAT. I promise if you play their song Fight The Good Fight from their performance "Live At The US Festival' you wont believe it. It's a truly live version from the US Festival back in 83 0r 84. This song and performance blew every band off the stage including headliner Van Halen. I believe there was over 500,000 in attendance. Rik Emmett absolutely shines as does Triumphs other two band members. Unbelievable 3 man band.

Never heard of Triumph until Magic Power broke in 1981. Heard a lot of great songs by them

An amazing Canadian band

Still to this day one of the best shows i've ever seen from back in the early 80's (on tour with Zebra) and still in my rotation to this day 🙂

Overshadowed by Rush, Triumph is a criminally underrated 3 player band from Canada. Rik Emmett can play and sing, both with great skill.

HUGE Canadian Band, I never knew of them until I moved from Alabama to northern Minnesota and all we got was Canadian stations out of Winnipeg. Head Pins are worth a listen as well.
