Triumph was so underrated!!! One of the Best Bands ever!!! Ain't no bands like this today !!! We need to go back to the 80s and do this again please!!!

i had kind of forgotten, or maybe taken for granted, just what a great guitarist rik emmett is. and with the beautiful singing voice he is extra special.

Man,I miss the 80's when life was worry free and so much fun! We had cool music and big hair,bad ass cars and house parties everywhere ,every weekend! I live in Az,so we had big lifted trucks and desert party's,so much cool stuff to do like cruising and drive-ins:)

Im 53 now and saw Triumph 4 times back on the Thunder 7 and Sport Kings Tours 1985 and 1987. It is one of the best concerts I ever saw a awesome band I thank my cousin Leon for introducing me to there music . He isn't doing well with his health these days have so many great memories from there great shows . Probably the most underrated band of all time . Triumph is Awesome!

Growing up in the 80's I was able to see a majority of the top Rock bands in their prime, I went to see Triumph during their Thunder Seven Tour. It was absolutely one of the top 5 shows I've seen in my day.

When my youngest was 16 or so, on Saturday mornings when he was sleeping late, I would get the keys to his 93 Mustang and drive it around listening to the Triumph GH CD of mine he had in the player..... love this band.

That is how you do a live show! Great music, great vocals, great stage show. Doesn't get much better than that. The 80s were the best times to see bands live.

I am still loving this group in 2020

What happened to the Real Rock Bands? Triumph Rocks! Every song has energy and enthusiasm Entertainment at its Best I saw the Thunder 7 Tour n Houston and was blown away Wish these guys still played n 2023

One of the very best rock guitarist of all time. Effortless playing.

I remember you could feel the heat from the airport landing lights that spelled out Triumph. What a trio.

80's magic😍

Saw this tour.One of the best I’ve ever seen.This is what’s missing in music today.Thanks for the memories.

I'm generally amazed with drummers anyway. They have to have multitrack brains and physical stamina to play their kits for hours. But when a drummer also sings, it just takes them to a whole new level. Gil Moore is as big a talent as any other singer/drummer you can name. But few know about him. Fantastic version of Lay It On The Line! Mellow introduction, a little slower and bluesier than the original version that everybody has heard. Great job of reimagining their own song. In case it ever comes up on Jeopardy, the name of the occasional 4th member of Triumph was Rick Santers.

I’m 17 now and truly wish I could’ve been my age then in 1987... To see bands live like Rush, Triumph, Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, etc in their prime. So many great concerts throughout the 80’s I feel I truly missed out on. I can just picture myself going out with some buds to so many shows then... gotta try to make the most of today I guess but it’s very tough to when no one my age I know shares the same passion in older music.
