Apparently Rik Emmett is touring again. Not that it has anything to do with this video.

So I missed my chance to see Triumph back in the day. I was counting on my best friend to get tickets. I told him I'd get to the civic center to buy tickets after school. He said no, that he'd do it. Well, he didn't. So we made the 2 hour drive to get tickets at the gate. On the way up people were asking if we had tickets for sale. Bad omen. Sold out. So we crashed the gate. Or so we thought. We ended up going up a staircase we thought went into the arena. But it ended up leading to a lounge that was closed. Outside that lounge was the lobby. So we just hung out in the lounge and called it a night. Never got to see Triumph. "The Blinding Light Show," was my favorite song. Don't recall the name of the album but it also had a cover of, "Rocky Mountain Way," on it that was great. So maybe I'll get a second chance to see them now. 

So here's a video of Phil X hitting the notes Rik can't quite make anymore.

'Rock n Roll Machine' was the album I had with those songs on it.

Man, I haven't listened to this song since maybe '82? I forgot all about the classical guitar in the middle. I tried to learn that part. Sounds as good now as then. Not often that happens.
