Product: Night of Triumph [VHS]
Rating: 4.0
Rik Emmett is fantastic
Yes there is alot of cheesy "rock and roll" talk from Mike and Gil, yes there are too many crowd shots, yes their wardrobes are 80's atrocious, yes there is alot of feathered hair (it was the 80's after all), yes Gil's vocals seem heavily overdubbed and he is not a good drummer...his drum solo is painful to watch/hear. But! This DVD is well worth it to hear Rik Emmett sing and play guitar. The overall sound quality of this is pretty much perfect. You can hear every instrument clearly and it packs alot of punch. Rik's vocals are crystal clear up to the highest possible notes and perfectly in tune. Amazing. His guitar playing is top notch and his songs are what made Triumph what it was. I watch/listen to "Lay it on the Line", "Magic Power" and "Fight the good fight" over and over. "Follow your heart" and "Spellbound" are great too. This is one of the best sounding live discs I have heard...I was stunned the first time I played it. They did a great job remixing it. If you like Triumph this is a worthy purchase.
