The most incredible thing about this is Rik's vocals. Absolutely flawless for a live recording, something that almost never happens. This is one of the great live sets in rock history.

Triumph slays. Rik Emmet is such an underated guitar player and singer. His effortless high range. He can hit those highs in his sleep. Seriously, what an amazing talent that guy is! And the drummer has a hell of a voice as well. These guys just kick ass and were never given the recognition they deserved.

I met Rik Emmett in 1988 when they were on our record label ( MCA RECORDS). Rik was such a nice gentleman and I told him that I saw Triumph and Mountain on the same bill in 1985 in East Rutherford, NJ. He sat in my office for about an hour and he signed a Triumph poster for me and personalized it but he wrote it using a cheap bic pen but everyone I show it to said that was really nice of him. He's an excellent and a very underrated guitarist and a great singer too. Thank You Rik Emmett for everything 😎🎸

I was driving into the parking lot on that Sunday, got to hear some of these incredible bands from there. Slept on the hood my car and went on Monday. Saw some amazing bands as well. Wish I would have been there one day earlier - always loved this song. On this same day...Van Halen, Scorpions, Triumph (of course), Judas Priest, Ozzy Osborn, Joe Walsh, Motley Crue. The day I went, opened with Little Steve and the Disciples of Soul, Berlin, Quarterflash, U2, Missing Persons, Pretenders, John Cougar, Stevie Nicks and David Bowie. Yep, U2 was between Quarterflash and Missing Persons. How much would that ticket cost today?
