To celebrate the 40th anniversary of their legendary concert at Live At The US Festival ’83, one of the day’s standout performers – Canadian hard rock legends TRIUMPH – have released a refreshed version of “Live At The US Festival“, featuring new artwork and remastered. A Limited Edition with terrific sound quality.
May 29, 1983, will forever be an important day in the history of heavy metal / hard rock. After all, it was on this date that the world’s top metal acts (Van Halen, Scorpions, Triumph, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe and Quiet Riot) shared the stage on “Heavy Metal Sunday” at the mammoth US Festival.
TRIUMPH was on fire that day, at the peak of their powers, and chronicles from the era highlights TRIUMPH’s show as the best of the day.
“Playing on the ‘Heavy Metal Sunday’ was just amazing for us,” recalls Triumph bassist Mike Levine. “It was really neat playing without our big production. We killed it. The band was hotter than a pistol. That day will always be locked in my memory — flying in on the chopper and looking at the endless amount of people and going, ‘What have we got ourselves into here?!’”
Between 1975-1988, Triumph — singer/guitarist Rik Emmett, singer/drummer Gil Moore, and Levine — rocked the world, and in the process, gave us countless classic hard rock anthems (“Fight the Good Fight,” “Hold On,” “Magic Power,” “Lay It On the Line,” “A World of Fantasy,” etc.) and albums (Just a Game, Progressions of Power, Allied Forces, Never Surrender, Thunder Seven, etc.).
But it was the trio’s show-stopping performance at the US Festival that remains one of the greatest performances of their career. And now, fans can revisit it from start to finish with this killer “Live At The US Festival” set.
This 2023 remastered release replicates the original track list – doesn’t include the bonus track appeared in the 2017 CD reissue. We added that song as bonus because it’s a fantastic version of one of TRIUMPH favorites: ‘Follow Your Heart’.
