Its still amazes me, after forty years of increasing discerning taste, just how incredibly good this performance was. 50's-80's You don't know what you got until its gone.
The fact that you dont interrupt the song 20 times to give your view is appreciated. Listen to the whole song, experience the magic....the talk about it.
We older people were definitely spoiled, 60s 70s 80s produced great singers and bands. It’s fun watching these reactions videos , Rebeka was definitely getting into it.
Triumph were a tight music 🎵🎶🎵🎶😃 machine!!!! Their live performances were practically flawless!!!! Sometimes their live performances were just as good if not BETTER than their albums!!!!! 😄😀😁 Full of energy!!!! And youthful exuberance!!!!!😃 Rik Emmett was on Fire that day!!!! Gil Moore sang really good and pounded the crap out of those drums!!!!! Mike Levine was no slouch when it came to stage presence and getting the crowd motivated to stand up and cheer and raise their arms up in the air!!!! He played keyboards 🎹 along with Bass guitar!!!!😃😁😀😄😀
Hi this is Mike from Calgary. I was in the crowd to when I was 16 years old. It's quite the story how a Canadian kid could be at that show but I was. Today is May 1st and at the end of the month it's going to be the 40th anniversary of the 1983 US Festival. It would be able to talk two other people that were there. I actually don't know how to go about it though. I don't know much about computers. Anyway, thank you very much
Rush, Triumph and Max Webster were the three local bands I grew up with and loved in the 70's. What a time it was for music and the decade following. All 3 as good or better Live.
@@Ontariosound True. Rush always will IMO be the GOAT. Max 's song "Battlescar" colab with Rush is fire. Not sure if Rebecca has heard. Unfortunately her intro to Rush was not the best to start with. (YYZ) Hope she will try again.
When I was a kid in the mid seventies I was ten years old. My father drove truck for a company that hauled a lot of electronics. He took me to a place in Toronto for a delivery and Ric Emmett, Neil Peart, Getty Lee and Kim Mitchell were jammin. Three years later I seen Max Webster then Triumph became my favourite band but seen a lot of Rush, Triumph and Max Webster a bunch of times. Triumph is still my favourite band as Rik Emmett is top five guitar players in the world. CANADA ROCKS
Glad you liked this so much Rebeka. Great choice for those who voted for this one. From what you put up on the screen about the inspiration for this song. Fight The Good Fight is a band composition with lyrics by Emmett, who was inspired by his aunt, who was dying of cancer. "What can you tell someone who is facing the last challenge of this life?" he said in a interview. "Or - what will you tell yourself? If you're in a rock band called Triumph, what message can you share with the people listening to a song on the radio, or standing on their chairs, out in an arena? Everyone gets to decide what their own 'good' fight will be, but everyone should be encouraged to discover it, and do it." Source: Songfacts
I can tell you the secret to why there are so many incredible Canadian bands. Winter. These young musicians are housebound during the cold snowy months and they sit for hours with their music.
Triumph were from Canada and broke big in the late 70's and early 80's in the arena rock genre... they shared a few traits w/ fellow Canadians Rush - they were a rock trio and wrote about fantasy. Unfortunately, they suffered some setbacks in the 80's and 'creative differences' which led to the band's split w/ Rik (Rick) Emmett (vocals & guitar)... Triumph released 1 album in the 90's w/ Phil X (guitar), but the commercial failure led to them disbanding soon after. Phil X eventually replaced Richie Sambora (guitar) in Bon Jovi... Triumph did reunite the original band after 2000 for select shows after 20 years apart - Rik Emmett (vocals & guitar), Gil Moore (vocals & drums) and Mike Levine (bass & keyboards)... but Triumph has been permanently retired since. More Triumph songs - "Somebody's out there"... 'Lay it on the line'... 'Never surrender'... 'Hold on'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Triumph 1983 us festival and also had the privilege to see Triumph live during the 1980's at the Aladdin Theater for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas Nevada.
Great reaction video! Those of us who grew up listening to Triumph understood how incredible his talent is. It's wonderful to see someone younger than their fifties appreciate them as much as we do! You just gave yourself a subscriber and I look forward to watching you more! ROK on Rebeka!
This band was awesome in concert. I got to see them perform live back in about '84 (can't currently remember the exact year). Fantastic show. This is my second-favorite Canadian band...Rush has the top spot. :)
I'm so glad you did this one Rebeka, These guys live around the corner from me and are very nice guys. Gil has a recording studio and school which is the biggest in Canada in my town Mississauga Ontario just west of Toronto. I once told him that growing up listening to their music made me want to be a rock star, He said be careful what you wish for with a wink. I understood because things were not rosy for them
Back when artists were really artists. No auto tune. They played the instruments. Today, we have media generated super stars who's greatest asset is their looks.
Thanks for doing this. I grew up with this band. Seen them live about 15 times before I was twenty and would love to see them get back together for a couple of shows.
Truly an inspirational song that I have on many playlists. Underrated group over the years. You can really hear the similarities to Rush in this one. I personally like Rik Emmet's voice better than Geddy Lee. I'm sure there are several that will disagree but only my opinion. Thanks!
I got to see them twice live! Rik Emmit is over the top talented, He`s one of my all time favorite Guitarists. I can really say that I cannot pick which Canadian Power Trio I like best, Triumph or Rush!!
Watch them live back in 1983 at the US Festival in San Bernardino California. They played the same day as Motley Crue, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne and Van Halen. This 3 piece Canadian band dominated the other bands. What a night of music. They also have this song live from the US Festival
Love your enthusiasm on your reacts Rebeka. This is the song is certainly uplifting. Since you love live performances check out Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame (Live in Tokyo), Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Live Beast Over Hammersmith 1982), Alter Bridge - Blackbird (Live at Amsterdam), Frank Marino - Somethings Comin Our Way (Live at Agora Theatre) You'll love all of them. Keep rocking Rebeka
@@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic hey Rebeka...Triumph was my fave band in the 80s before they broke up. This was one of their best songs for sure...though my fave of theirs is Allied Forces...on the same album as Fight the Good Fight. That album was their best..and there are songs u would love to check out like Ordinary Man...its so good....thanks for sharing...this is first video i saw of yours....thanks to youtube algorhythm
I was at this concert in 1983 all three days, it was one month before I got out of the Marine Corps, it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to !
The guitar player is awesome and he and the drummer both sing. Me and some friends rented this video back in the early 90's and were really impressed by these guys. Rock and roll machine is a really good song from this concert as well
Oh Yeah this is a Great Band and Song for a Reaction Time one of my Favorite Bands saw them live 9 times also watch the other live version of this Song A Night of Triumph Fight The Good Fight Always
Really glad you got to react to these guys. Insanely talented. Once heard an anecdote from Steve Perry of Journey where he said that Rik Emmitt could hit notes that Steve couldn't hit. My favorite countertenor. They wrote a lot of cool songs and were almost always positive in the messaging.
Like some other old people in your audience, I was at this concert. It was as good as you would expect. There were a lot of beautiful girls just like you in virtually nothing rockin out and loving every minute.
TREEUMPH!!! THEY WERE SO FN AWESOME, THE NAME WAS actually changed!!! FYI, this performance is 40years old this year, God Bless you for playing & Reacting to it!!!🙏🙏🙏👍💪🤘🤘🤘
LOL...I was there. This is the US Festival '83. It was my 21st B-Day, and in my hometown (San Berdoo) at the time. The lineup was Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, OZZY, Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions, Van Halen. Previous to this concert, I had only seen Van Halen, of all these, the year before. 350,000'ish people and HOT!
Nothing but pure raw talent, nothing today even comes close. So glad I got to grow up in a time when there was real music, talent and skill. Good times.
Was a fun little rock-n-roll weekend with a 100,000+ of your closest friends. I was 3 rows back Center Stage. Never ate so many hotdogs, and drank so much lemonade.
One of my favourite concerts of all time I saw them play rock and roll machine front row at Mohawk College in Hamilton Rick Emmets singing and guitar playing were truly an incredible sight embedded in my brain for eternity i can still feel the power and the flash pods going off 40 yrs later lol. By the way you would be an awesome chick to go to a concert with and very pretty.
I just saw your reaction ... great! I personally think you were born out of time. You'd fit in great in the 70's and 80's with that rocker vibe you have.
We're still out here listening Rebekah. Great song, great reaction. It's great for those of us who grew up with this music to relive our first experiences through people like you. Thank you!
Love the band. Love the song. Love the reaction. I'm guessing it's been commented on previously (I'm lazy. Didn't check.) but....love the your same hair as Rik Emmett. God. Damn. Luxurious. Both of you rock stars. *walks away with whisky drink in hand* *singing in my highest voice - Fight The Good Fight! 'damn luxurious'*
Was so lucky to see them 3 times live , what a time to be young back then , now mid 60s surprised I can still remember after all the substances we did , God bless and you can drum ,
How come I've never heard of them before?? Added to the playlist! Niiice reaction Rebeka, alwasy cool to see the joy in someones eyes when listening to great music :)
Thank you for this great reaction, great to see people enjoying some amazing music. I get to listen to this stuff on the radio all the time, Triumph, Rush, April Wine, Kim Mitchell, Tragically Hip, some Canadian Classics :D
Oh yes the us Festival! What a lineup started with Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Triumph then the Scorpion and Van Halen!!!!! I was there that day in 1983 at the US Festival .I was 17 what a time to be alive!
