Triumph
Anyone like Triumph here?
Canadian power trio, anyone know their story?
I like some of their songs, not sure they are around anymore though.

I'm in motion.
I am still.
I am crying.
I am still.
I'm together.
I'm apart.
I'm forever.
At the start.
Still... I am.

I saw Triumph in concert Here in Spokane back in 1982 or 1983, I don't remember exactly. I think Coney Hatch opened for them, but I have consumed alot of stuff between then and now, so for all I know it could have been Madonna for fugg sakes.
Anyhow, Triumph............. What an awesome group. Ric Emmitt and Gil Moore are some singing fool's. Magic power, Allied Forces, Fight the good fight, Hold on.............. man they wrote good, powerful, memorable stuff.
I saw more pot smoke and more boobs at that show, than any other concert I've ever been to.

Here is a site I found about them, will have to keep looking for something more in depth.

I love Triumph! I have all of their albums on vinyl but only their Greatest Hits on cd. I play it all of the time, my two personal favorites, and close to my heart songs being Magic Power (that song is SO me) and Hold On (so inspiring to keep plugging away through the shit of life). AND, they were one of only two other bands fortunate enough to share wall space with my beloved Rush in my bedroom.
Funny Hold On story here.... A few summers ago I was cruising along the Pennsylvania Turnpike with all of the windows down and the music up. Well, Hold On comes on the cd player and the music went WAAAY up! Two guys in a convertible had been coming up on my left and when they got up next to me, they braked, gave me two thumbs up, and proceded to sing along and jam out to the song! When the song ended, they blew me kisses and sped off. Damn... They were so hot...
I was fortunate enough to catch Triumph in concert several times during the early and mid 80s as they toured around New England. In fact, I was at the show in Providence, RI where they filmed the Follow Your Heart video. To this day, I can't listen to that song without wanting to pump my arms in the air as directed!

I don't have faith in faith, I don't believe in belief, You can call me faithless, I still cling to hope, And I believe in love, And that's faith enough for me... Neil Peart
Triumph rocks! I loved them at the US Festival back in '83. They put on a good show. Too bad they aren't around anymore. I don't know of any sites that have band history, but I haven't looked. I did see some info on Ric's site, but it was mostly about the break up and subsequent difficulties.
Onward and Upward!

I LOVE Triumph....Recommended Listening(Albuims):
"Allied Forces"
"Progressions of Power"
BOTH are kick-ass, and a true symbol of the POWER of Rik Emmett's prowess on guitar...And YES, they often are assimilated with Rush...
Rik was doing solo projects the last I heard....
Siggy
