Rik Emmette what can I say about him except I saw him with triumph in the 80s and that guy played untill alomost 2 in the morning wow I wish i had not been wasted because I would remember more but I will never forget it even so. what an amasing talent.
is 'thehillsarealive07' the same jerk that trashed talked Mr. Emmett on his own website?....does this guy know that some of the best musician's in the world ' read' music on shows?...how 'bout Orchestra's for example?...does this guy know that in fact you have to be a good musician to read sheet music? 'Emmett does Clapton' is a retrospective of Clapton's career...it's not a tribute band playing in your local chicken wing bar... oh, and learn how to spell Emmett....
It is obvious that some "music critics" have never and will never perform or take the time to even understand music. As far as the reading of music goes....take a close look at some of spelling issues. Reading in general is something not to be taken for granted.Looking forward to seeing you guys on the 26th.

GREAT SONG!!! has it really been allmost 30 years now?i just played it for my girlfriend who never heard it and now she plays it every day...its never aged
I live in North Tonawanda, NY and that is where the free show is...July 28th...right on the Erie Canal. Do a search for canalconcerts and you will find it. They have some awesome shows. Saw him down there two or three years ago and it gave me goosebumps! He was incredible!
OMG that was incredible!!! Back in the day of long hair and tight jeans, I was lucky enough to be in the front row for a Triumph show! Still have a guitar pick from Rik!!!!
Rikk no stranger to the bitter battles of life decided to put his energies into encouragement! It takes a strong mind and heart to take a route so many forsake.
Here's to Rikk and the encouraging songs he writes. Yesterday & today!
I love Rick, and seen him in concert many times at the Blue Note in Cincinnati and even got a guitar pick straight from his hand to mine. Oh he is so awesome. Sonya
Rik Emmett has pure unadulterated talent. An awesome guitar player, incredible singer/songwriter... Triumph was only a bomb waiting to explode... one man cannot carry an entire band. He outgrew Triumph, and unfortunately his brilliant solo albums are still waiting to be discovered by the masses.
This gave my chill bumps. I saw Triumph in Atlanta a couple of times in the mid 80's. He is one of the all time great guitarist in my opinion.

Agreed, Emmett is great. Saw many a show in the 80's. Smoked a lot of dope too, but remember all the shows like it was yesterday.
