Summary: Hey look...It's Triumph!
Review: This DVD is just plain AWSOME! The picture and sound quality are excellent. You can't do better than this. I Have alot of boots of other performers from this concert, and I have a hard time saying anyone played better than Triumph at this show.
Triumph is touring for their GREAT album "Never Surrender" and they do just a tremendous rendition of the titular track. Just great! They also do a great version of "World of Fantasy", "Allied Forces", "Spellbound" etc.
The only drawback with this DVD is when Triumph is playing "Magic Power" (a huge fan favorite and great song), they chose to show random shots of the crowd instead of the band! THIS IS ANNOYING! I want to see the band, not the f@$king crowd!
Besides this one annoyance, this is probably one of greatest shows Triumph ever did. They were excited and they fed off the crowd(which was pumped to hear them), and they killed! Just great!
The documentary and band interviews are also vey well done and a nice edition to the DVD!
Buy this and see a great band at the peak of their prowess. You wil NOT be disappointed!

Summary: A BAND THAT SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN ! ! !
Review: A great preformance from a group long forgotten by the classic
rock stations here in the U.S.
A little disappionted at first because it was during the day and
was missing the classic Triumph stage light show,,,,,
but on another viewing I realized it was about the music.
And it is truely one of the best you'll see from any band of that
genre. Rik Emmett was laying riffs that made other guitar players
famous well after he came along.
I got the new DVD,,,, Night of Triumph Live.
Alot of overdubs and camera shots of the crowd that it doesn't
have the same vibe as being as much a " LIVE " video like
the U. S. Festival.
Rik Emmett is alive and well and has recent releases available
through the Canadian market. He's doing alot of nice jazz stuff
now which shows his love of music and not just going for one
certain style or sound.

Summary: Triumph stole the show
Review: Amazing peformance. A trio that was mechanically dead on. Rik Emmett and Gil Moore were outstanding.By the way, the reviewer who said some vocals were edited out and replaced was right. The end of "when the lights go down", Gil sings ending vocals are higher than the original VHS. The initial guitar rip by Emmett to start the back and forth with Gil at the end of WOF was drowned out. Play the VHS tape and you we'll see. Great DVD though.

Summary: Ban Pogo and The Infidel they are one in the same
Review: Before I review this great Triumph DVD, I want to make something clear to those a******* Pogo and Infidel, leave Terrence Reardon ALONE or I will sue Amazon and sue you clowns for writing every bad review for every good review he does. This Triumph DVD captured the next best Canadian band next to Rush in front of 500,000 screaming fans at The US Festival. Rik Emmett can sing circles around Britney whom actually mimes and can play a guitar like no other. Songs like Fight the Good Fight, Magic Power and Lay it on the Line kick ass. Britney is a damn mime who chain smokes yet Rik Emmett never smoked a day in his life and could run while playing guitar at the same time and not run out of breath. This DVD is recommended!

Summary: Rik Emmett is unreal.....
Review: Emmett plays guitar for Triumph and is considered one of the finest out there. This DVD shows that and a lot more. The guy also has one of the best voices out there. I can't recommend this DVD enough.

Summary: THIS IS A POWER TRIO!!!
Review: I watched this concert on Beta a long time ago...
It really rocks!!!Gil Moore was one of my drum influences.
Rick Emmet is a wizard on the guitar!!!
I think that triumph was one of the best rock n' roll bands ever
on the 80's scene!!...What happened with them?.
If you like the gooooooooood heavy metal, this DVD is really worth it.

Summary: 5 star GREAT performance, 4 star GOOD DVD
Review: I'll start by saying that I have seen triumph live twice and have owned the VHS copy of this show since 1984. I have played it hundreds of times. The actual performance of Triumph at the US Festival was terrific. They were super crisp and tight. Rik Emmett, lead guitarist and primary vocalist was out of this world. His solo in "Rock n' Roll Machine" is a lesson in multiple style guitar work that is amazing. Rik's vocals on "Lay it on the line" and "magic power" are tremendous. Gil Moore is a very solid drummer and a very underrated vocalist himself. He has a hard driving blues style of singing. This is most eveident on "when the lights go down", a great song live. Other good features: the documentary "inside the rock n' roll machine" is very interesting and gives you behind the scenes stuff. Especially enjoyable is the stuff with Rik Emmett taking you on a tour of his guitars. Rik Emmett has since left the band (probably right after this documentary was made 1989?)
The interview with Gil Moore and Mike Levine gave some insight into the overall experience of the US Festival. My "minor" complaints: This DVD was reworked in Sound and Video. My problem (most will never notice of care) is that they patched in vocals from other live shows to replace some audio of this concert. I only know this because I know every inflection and twang on this show since I own the tape. Gil Moore's final vocal lines in "When the lights go down" is NOT from THIS show. It is audio from another live show. When most people hear it, they would never notice, but it was wierd hearing it for me. The original tape was very clear so I don't know why they did that. Also, the beginning of the Drums VS. Guitar battle that Rik and Gil had after "World of Fantasy", was cut out. No idea why. Minor complaints from someone who knows the show a little too well. Plus, if the producers ever read the reviews here, I wanted to let them know I know what they did. Minor nitpick I know. Get it though. The band was great, and the scenes of 500,000 people outdoors was terrific to see and hear.
