Update:
Great show.
Rik Emmett did play some Triumph tunes. Good courteous crowd. Rik had an excellent young 2nd lead guitarist. We stood right next to the stage on the side and saw everything close up.
He opened with
'Fight the Good Fight'at around 11:00-11:15, then
'Say Goodbye' then followed by
'Lay it on the line' and closed with
'Magic Power'. (We had to leave early since he started so late and we had a babysitter, but i saw Magic power on the setlist on stage)
I'd have to say his solo stuff was great too. The style personally reminded me of Santana
As far as i know, no 'Hold On' or 'Rock n roll machine' ect ect
paid $10 at the door. Kinda funny but we didnt know it at the time that one guy sitting at the bar for the warm up acts was Rik. My wife said she also recognized him helping the warm up band pack up!
I should have brought my Thunder 7 cd for him to sign if i'd had known he'd be at the bar. That was my first cd i ever bought circa 1984 when the cd rack at the record stores was really small with only a few bands to choose from.
Rik is a no-brainer for the price of admission and a weekend night!
