Summary
Today is the 40th anniversary of the US Festival and what better guest to
have on the show than Mike Levine of Triumph who played on this very day 40 years ago along with Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Scorpions and Van Halen. I was there and I will tell you this I will never forget it.
I consider the US Festival the greatest Rock Fest every besides Woodstock.
Triumph has just released this concert on Vinyl and I can't recommend it enough.
The US Festival is criminally underrated and I feel it should get way more glory.
I hope you enjoy this episode.
