SDS Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 If not, move along. A new Triumph documentary is showing tonight on AXS TV. I’m in some of the crowd scenes at the end of all you really wouldn’t be able to pick me out unless you know where to look. i’ve seen it multiple times. It’s really a great piece of history of music during that time period. 2 1 Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 You are talking about the power rock Canadian trio, right ?? If so, yes. And awesome. Quote

By all means watch the documentary and you’ll find out just how dominant they actually were in their heyday. 1 Quote

Have the US Festival CD & Stages so have seen some of their live stuff & heard a fair amount but am really looking forward to the documentary. Rick Emmitt is a highly undetrated guitarist. Have everything from Just a Game through The Sport of Kings. One of these days will pick up Rock & Roll Machine. A buddy had that one back in the day & listened to it a lot. Will likely get A Night of Triumph too if ever get around to picking up R&RM. 1 Quote
dudacek Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 Love the band. If this is the same documentary from a few years back that ended with them playing a surprise performance before some of their biggest fans, that was well worth watching. Quote

I was there in November 2019. Fan #54. 3 Quote
Taro T Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 Going to have to wait until Sunday to record it. Our satellite dish seems to be messed up by the snow we got today. And not climbing on the roof to be able to watch that & Blue Bloods. Quote
SwampD Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 Just found it it started from the beginning. Quote

SwampD Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 I kinda feel like they were the first hair band. By, like, a decade. … only really good. 1 1 Quote

Hawerchuk Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 Triumph was always my mini Rush. I liked a lot of their stuff. I'll check it out and thanks for the heads up SDS! 1 Quote

I never really saw them as a hairband even though they adopted the look at the very end of their career. To me Mötley Crüe/Twisted Sister launched that gaggle of groups who pretty much killed rock as we knew it back then. 1 Quote

To me Mötley Crüe/Twisted Sister launched that gaggle of groups who pretty much killed rock as we knew it back then. I meant that as a compliment. They cared so much about the spectacle and used it as a part of their experience, yet their music was solid, and original in its own right. Those later bands were just copies. The spectacle mattered, but the music was just rehash schlock. Edited January 26, 2023 by SwampD 4 Quote
stinky finger Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Oh man - Love me some Triumph! Gil Moore has one of the coolest drum kits I've seen. Dude is so tight. Very underrated band. I gotta find this documentary Quote

wingnut Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Flashback to my youth - Triumph was one of the concerts I attended 1978/79/80 at Kleinhans Music Hall. Others I recall were Styx and Bob Dylan. The other shows I attended in Buffalo were all at the Aud. Quote
HoosierDaddy Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Triumph is a band that the further you get from the Canadian border, the less you hear them. I've never heard them once on classic rock radio here in Cincinnati, but they are probably still in regular rotation on 97 rock. 1 1 Quote
WhenWillItEnd66 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Loved them on sport of kings tour... incredible!!! 1 Quote

(Yes, we all know Rush is & were Canadian.) 1 Quote
