Triumph – Live At Sweden Rock Festival – Metal Works

By Jeffrey Easton

In the 70’s and 80’s, Triumph defined rock radio with powerful tracks like Lay It One The Line, Fight The Good Fight and Magic power but they were in their best element live.  The Triumph live show took most rock bands to school and became legendary as THE concert to see.   Now here we are a few decades removed from Triumph’s heyday and the fans still demand what they offer and that was most evident with their reception at Sweden Rock 2008. The fans were ballistic; they went crazy from the first note of When The Lights Go Down to the monumental closing of Fight The Good Fight. Rik, Mike, Dave and Gil laid claim to this festival stage and made it their own as if the 90’s never happened and they were still a dominate band.   This was their element:  the lights, the pyro, Rik absolutely shredding his Les Paul and the material itself.  You cannot deny the power behind I Live For The Weekend, Rock & Roll Machine or Magic Power, they were FM  bombshells and they still showed dominate life there in 2008.  So, buy the DVD, crank it up and piss off your neighbors as this is one of THE concert
DVD’s of 2012 to own.
