We were not disapointed. If you ever get a chance to see him dont hesitate. The mix of old and new was incredible. I have taken my kids to see him several times and the looks on their faces were priceless. Watching Zachary and Elliots faces light up as they carried on a conversation with Rik was priceless. The fact they worked their request in to the performance shows Riks great ability to interact with his fans. A note to the family above, I have something you should see if only I knew how to get it to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428941942569383822.post-87102481919116656832008-11-21T20:27:00.000-05:002008-11-21T20:27:00.000-05:00FalconI so loved all of your comments about Rik an...Falcon<BR/>I so loved all of your comments about Rik and the concert. I have the great privelege of being Zachary and Elliot's mother! Seeing Rik in concert at the Rex will truly be a life changing experience for them. When my now 9year old started taking guitar when he was 6, I knew that Rik Emmett was a man he needed to study. You are so right that it is so important to expose our children to the best of all of the music genres. Music has the amazing ability to reach and display what goes on in the human heart. I have followed Rik since the 1980's and know he is not your ordinary rock guitarist. You are so right in that he is the most talented, underrated, technically proficient, intellectual and over all inspirational guitar player on the planet. Most importantly he is an awesome human being--husband, father, brother, son, teacher, artist, humanitarian. He is a wonderful role model not only for our children but for all of us. He will inspire you and change even change your life if you let him in. Our family is different in many good ways since we saw him. I truly believe he and his life will be an important significant part of history and someone we should all "Emm-ulate". Rik Emmett is awesome--go see him.<BR/>Nancy, Scott, Alyssa, Zachary and ElliotNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127685936881091352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428941942569383822.post-34987680576494782562008-11-19T20:02:00.000-05:002008-11-19T20:02:00.000-05:00I have seen Rik Emmett play many times with Triump...I have seen Rik Emmett play many times with Triumph and many times after that. Either with his band, with Dave Dunlop or by himself, he always give a great performance. I saw him play for the first time in 1982 and the last time in 2006. When I see other guitarists play, I am usually not that impressed when I compare them to Rik, but they are trying.<BR/><BR/>Great musicians are far and few, so when you have the opportunity to see Rik live, GO FOR IT !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
