even though they were named Triumph, they never once made me think of motorcycles...

The Rolling Stone Record Guide humorously docked their albums one star each "for plotting world domination from Canada. At least if they were German, they'd be scary".

"but I'll always have a nostalgic soft-spot for the first band I ever saw live. (AMAZING laser show, which was kinda their entire raison d'etre.)"

It wasn't my first concert, that was seeing Loverboy and Zebra, but I also saw Triumph's amazing laser show with a reformed Mountain as the opening act. I used to have one of those concert jersey's from that show.

It has been a few years but I swear I remember seeing the drummer Gil Moore of Triumph as a contestant on Jeopardy.

How about Spacehog as the 90s Alt Rock Triumph?

Triumph is to Rush as Molly Hatchet is to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I just saw a copy of Allied Forces at the Goodwill for $1.00 earlier this week. I didn't buy it.

five years pass...

So there's a Triumph documentary about to be released.

Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine, produced by Banger Films (Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Rush and ZZ Top), delivers on revisiting a band that sold millions of albums, played for millions of fans, and never put themselves above their audience.

“The Triumph story was compelling to me, Marc, and the Banger team because it was an opportunity to piece together a broken puzzle,” says Sam Dunn (who co directed the film with Marc Ricciardelli). “We wanted to know how and why the band dissolved at the peak of their powers. It was quite the ride!”

It premiered a couple weeks ago. I think $20 is a bit steep to "buy" it however.
