I saw Rik last June and just found out here will be here with Dave Dunlop on June 11th. Rik is the best. Todays music is fuckin crap. 30 yrs. from now rap will be dead and boone will remember 50 cent or any of that other shit.
You just named my list of top bands ever-Triumph, Boston, Rush! Rush tops them all! Musical geniuses! Add The Cars, Foreigner, Styx, and Journey and you never have to listen to anything esle! I highly doubt the crap music today will be around in three years, let alone thirty years. Like Greg Kihn sang, "They don't write like that anymore. No they don't".
Spectacular! Rik still has the 'Magic Power'! That number gave me goosebumps all over my arms. In high school Triumph was one of my all time favorite bands and they still are. The junk they call music today cannot compare to these masterpieces. Kudos to his wife for making such a great request. I wish I could have seen the entire show.
WOW! WOW! WOW!! What else did he sing during this show??? Rik has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard! Anything off Spiral Notebook, Absolutley or Ipso Facto?? Please post more!! Thanks! Cheers!

So sweet, heartfelt - love the guitar transcription, and the singing - Rik puts a nice finish on this one, too. I'm always impressed with this guy.

Absolutly a music gem. One of the best versions of 'Oh Holy Night' around. You don't have to wait until Christmas to enjoy.

Can I get an amen. I used to listen to Triumph, Rush, Boston, Kansas etc... And I tell you what they don't make music like they used to.
