Of all the underestimated, under-appreciated rock and roll bands of all time, Triumph must be number one. Why is a mystery to me. Great songs, great musicians, great live performers. I discovered these guys way back when they debuted "American Girls", and have been a fan ever since.

Rik Emmitt co wrote this song with Joe Walsh. It’s not a cover

Triumph performing " Rocky Mountain Way " !! Yeah !!

I WENT TO THAT CONCERT IN HALIFAX

This is an awesome cover. Triumph certainly knows how to kick it. That's saying a lot since my absolute fave guitarist to watch perform is Joe Walsh. Joe has so much Rock N Roll swag .. makes my heart happy. You can tell he loves rocking out. Plus Joe has a great sense of comfortable stage humor. So yeah my fave rendition of this song is the original artist Joe Walsh. However Triumph was astounding. Loved how Gil took over as lead singer here .. that was the ticket for this song imho. Of course have to add the magnificent guitar riffs by Rik were as always plain ear gasms❣️ One of the best covers I've experienced .. Ty

Gil sang like half their stuff. He was Triumph. Listen to American Girls or something from their earlier years. Gil sang quite a lot really especially in concert. Rik did sing more and more and commercially, it paid off. Like the Eagles gradually changing to more Don Henley over Glenn Frye.

I thought these guys wrote this for the longest time. I always said "Joe Walsh ripped this off!" Sorry Joe, I was an idiot! But they do this song well. Triumph Rocks!

Awesome, great memories

They had two great rock and roll singers

Walsh moved from Cleveland to Colorado about a year before writing this song, which celebrates the scenery and the lifestyle of Colorado. In some ways, the song is a Rocked-up version of John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High, which was released the previous year. Both songs use the famous Rocky Mountains as a focal point for the virtues of Colorado. Great song and Triumph did it justice in this live performance...

Sing it Gil!!! Love this music....

Rik (The Rocket) Emmit is a truly amazing artist. Probably the most under-rated guitarist of all time. Eddie Van Halen isn't even close. Maybe he should play rythym for Rik. If you think I'm kidding, check out the acoustic work on Triumph's song "Blinding Light Show." It will blow your mind!
