Triumph had enough go right to warrant a solid Greatest Hits album in the 80s, but then also enough go wrong to just disappear by the end of the decade. And then nothing. For like almost 40 years. And then, outta nowhere...
But first... "Did you bring the blanket?" 🤦

Anytime a band comes back from the dead, ya gotta wonder how they're doing this. And this is a kinda unusual approach. It's basically a Triumph cover band fronted by Rik Emmett with occasional on stage appearances by the original drummer, Gil Moore. So, what used to be a power trio (guitar, bass, drums) is now 4 and sometimes 5 guys, including two drummers playing at the same time! (why?)

Whatever it is, it works!
Somebody's Out There
Lay It On The Line
Magic Power
Fight The Good Fight

| Rik Emmett (AKA the only one that really matters) propping up the band and still sounding great! |
And also...
April Wine opening the show. Wouldn't seek em out, but nice get as an add on.
45 minutes, sounding pretty good, covering all two of their hits. (and some other stuff 🤷)
