This is one of those times that I've heard the name Triumph many times over the years, but they just never made it onto my filming list. Until now. I heard they were a power trio, and once they were compared to Rush, I knew I needed to make this happen. And I am SO GRATEFUL! Let's do some more, shall we?!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Triumph for the first time, performing "Fight The Good Fight”.

Triumph set at the 83 US Festival is one of the all time great live performances. They absolutely stole the show that day and the same stage that same night had Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osborne, Joe Walsh... And TRIUMPH was by far the BEST!!! Also, these guys are the most underrated band ever. Massive talents, massive techniques and some of the most positive uplifting messages in lyrics. A really good rabbit hole to go down.

Rush: Power trio with a singer with an unusually high voice, a bass player who also plays pedals and keyboards, an extremely dexterous and brilliant lead guitarist, and lyrics that have deep meaning. Triumph. Power trio with a singer with an unusually high voice, a bass player who also plays pedals and keyboards, an extremely dexterous and brilliant lead guitarist, and lyrics that have deep meaning. The debut album "Rush" dropped on March 1st, 1974. The debut album "Triumph" dropped on October 13th, 1976. Both bands are from Toronto. So is Max Webster who you have never "covered" but you have "heard" because the crowd cheering in Rush's "Spirit of Radio" is actually a recording of a Max Webster crowd. God.... it was AWESOME to be 13 years old in Toronto in 1979 when all three bands really started hitting their stride. :) Thanks for finally finding some more great Canadian Rock... and there's lots more if you care to look for it.

I was there that day, just a few days before I turned 17. My parents were there that day as well and when I asked them what they thought of all the great bands that played that day, my dad told me that he was surprised at how good the singer for The Scorpions was. My mom, who wasn't much of a rock fan (although she liked the Grateful Dead) but had some musical background (unlike my father who only played drums on the steering wheel while driving) said that she was very impress with Rik's guitar solo. It made perfect sense, the guy is freaky good at both singing and playing guitar. The only thing we had like him in the US at the time was Dave Meniketti from Y&T. But yeah, I was there in the crowd... absolutely losing my mind because I love this song so much and the positive energy that they convey though their music. Plus, when you're in a crowd of roughly a HALF A MILLION PEOPLE it's easy to get swept up in the moment. I was very fortunate to attend both US Festivals, they were amazing experience punctuated by incredible live music performances. Triumph was the only band to had the foresight to negotiate the rights to the video of their set in their contract. They were the only act to release a DVD of their set officially. Much of the footage is being made available on YT through historic film preservation folks and some of it has decent sound. Unfortunately for most of the bands, it just shows how much more professional Triumph was. Van Halen made over $4 million that day and their set is unsellable. Hell, it's unwatchable. Even if (like me) you enjoy watching clowns like Diamond Dave (LMFAO) embarrass humanity. Rik is a force of nature. 🤘🧙‍♂🤘

@@bobbrown6603 Glad to see you address this, since I keep seeing it on reaction videos. Bands from this time period especially did have some similar elements in their music, but it wasn't because they influenced each other. It was because they grew up in the same era, listened to the same music and were inspired by a lot of the same bands that existed in the generation before them. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc always figured prominently in the sound of the 1970s bands. What they were able to add or take away from that was what made them unique. But there was always a common thread.

She was always listening to music on the radio, and singing around the house, and was a huge influence on him becoming interested in music. In the same interview he discussed Steve Perry asking/complementing him on hitting such high notes effortlessly when they opened for Journey at a stadium show. He also talked about his vocal approach, guitar stuff...playing right, even though he is left-handed. He frankly discussed getting older, and how you have to approach songs differently, as he had turned 70 at that time. Very, very humble and honest guy...great listen...about 18 to 20 minutes long.

In my opinion, it's because their studio albums were shockingly sterile sounding, when compared to their concert presence. I think if they had paid for a big name producer then they would have been among the top five sales in the early 80's. (Like what Martin Birch did for Maiden). But absolutely the best live band I have ever seen (1985). The only album I ever recommend is 'Stages', because it's a live recording of course!

@danjmcs 13 күн бұрын

@@christophercook1631 Yeah I would love to hear what could be done with the original masters by someone like Terry Brown or Giles Martin. I think Allied Forces is probably the best sounding album of the era, but having gone back and listened to the early studio stuff a lot, I'm with you when you compare it to other 80s rock it just doesn't jump off the record like it should/could. Most of those 80s albums were recorded in Gils own studio, Metalworks, so i think maybe they thought they knew better at the time, though the studio has won a ton of "Recording Studio of the Year" awards over the decades, not sure of the criteria, heh. I'm glad we have the amazing live recordings that we do though! The US Festival DVD is just amazing.

This is one of my top ten favorite songs of life. The contrast of light to heavy is perfect, and Rik's voice was on point..the choruses were so "epic"...it makes me weep tears of joy whenever I listen to it...

Triumph was my favourite band growing up, and Fight the Good Fight is my all-time favourite song. Whenever I get a new speaker, phone, headphones etc. I still christen them with this song. Man the memories. I can remember just cranking Allied Forces, Thunder Seven etc. on my JVC RC-880 boombox when my parents were out and playing air guitar to Fight the Good Fight and Time Goes By. Love Triumph.

I met Triumph w/ Bad Company back in 1986 at a show in Indianapolis. We had backstage passes and got to meet the band and get autographs. Their guitar tech had us sit on the stage with him. It was crazy loud by the amps with zero ear protection back then. Great show, great night, great guys! Magic Power was my anthem in my early teens. I suggest giving it your reaction Elizabeth. Thanks for all that you do. ❤

Rik was my guitar hero when I started playing and in 9h grade. The guy could play anything and with unreal precision and clarity. I saw Triumph for the first time a couple of years after this show and was totally blown away by the band's energy and incredible sound/stage show.

This performance reminds me of the time I got to see R.E.O. Speedwagon as a headliner act and the they went absolutely nuts like these guys did at this performance. R.E.O. sounded so good that I actually peed in my empty beer cup while watching so I did not miss a second of their act. The crowd around me was so entrance by the performance, no one even noticed what I was doing. Highly recommend reaction to R.E.O. Speedwagon "Riding the Storm Out" live.

Elizabeth, This was the biggest day of US Festival ( Day 2 ) with 375,000 in attendance, Triumph was one of Steve W's favorites, and this song was inspired by Rik's Aunt fighting Cancer, giving greater meaning to these lyrics when you pay attention to them... Watch the other songs from this performance too, it's ALL Amazing. This was an all time great performance for these guys !

Just speaks to the quality of the music at the time. I love to see your reactions to the music I grew up on. And finally- Those look like some amazing onionrings! #thegreatgerkin

If you enjoyed that, consider that it was the last song of their set, so Rik had been singing like that for over an hour in brutal heat. Yeah, he's amazing. I really hope you check out Lay it On the Line from the same show.
