Incredible band. Criminally underrated.

[@MuscleSportTV]

I was just thinking how underrated they are.

[@batmasterson7918]

Saw them many times in the 80’s. Still to this day the best live band I’ve ever seen. Their laser and pyrotechnics were the best, and Rik Emmett.....that man’s voice back in the day, along with his guitar playing....they were definitely one of the best live bands back in the day.!! Wish we could all go back......

[@nightstalker2217]

They became known for their light shows as well as their music but 83 US Fest they blew everyone off the stage ... see Rock and Roll Machine

[@dmg1837]

1000%!!!

[@markmontgomery5418]

2 voices like this in the same band? On top of that both can play their instruments at such a high level while singing?! Never understood how this band always got overlooked.

[@willb5240]

Gil is one of the greatest singing drummers ever.

[@magnuswettermark8293]

Agree totaly. Gil Moore and Don Henley is in a class of their own.

2024, STILL LISTENING! Saw them live many times back in the day (80-87), and they never disappointed.

[@user-hs1en1nz6g]

Saw the Thunder 7 tour.....❤

[@liquidtenor]

To be able to sing and play drums that solidly at the same time...respect!

[@marlahart2060]

🎸🙋‍♀️I wore out my Allied Forces cassette til it squeaked. Then still tried to listen to it. Yes! Gil is incredible!

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

Gil has one of the greatest voices for rock, he doesn't need to ever play drums again, just sing

[@andycuthbert2763]

One of my first forays into rock with this song-never looked back🤘!

[@lewboc]

Triumph kicked major league ass! One of the greatest live bands Rock and roll has ever seen!

[@user-vc3fr2kb3l]

awesome!! missed out not seeing them live

[@CannaCollectiveLLC]

It's 2022, I had no idea that the drummer sang this song! Thank you for the education.

[@gene2049]

When the crown is amped like that, you know the band is great!

[@ChuckLaka]

Great song not heard enough

[@supersoniq3506]

Damn they were awesome!

[@TheUlfhedinn]

This band is too underrated. One the best metalbands!

[@philipreedwallace]

The Ulfhedinn agree 💯 %

[@philipthomas6808]

Triumph is awesome, but I would not classify them as a metal band, just pure "Hard Rock"

[@brianshaffneraclc]

@@philipthomas6808 Agreed. Like Zep before them, there's a lot of diversity and depth on their albums, once you dig into them.

[@murmenaattori6]

There's some heavy metal crossover but mostly I would classify Triumph as hard rock. One of my favourite bands Blue Öyster Cult is also one of those bands which do hard rock with a heavy metal sound, but also do heavy metal.

[@rosiemolina7152]

Wow, the talent is tremendous🇨🇦

[@telavivkunz8479]

Triumph all the Way!!!!!! One of the Phenomenal Bands of it's time!!!!

[@81shvlhead]

"My second glance was my first mistake" Great vocal...

[@jordanwilkins12]

Best line of all times...

[@scottoneal2031]

Two of the best rock bands ever are Canadian. No one can touch Rush, but Triumph is pretty damn good.

[@spacecowboy_1962]

April Wine and BTO aint to shabby either. Nor is The Guess Who.

[@RaymondBCrisp]

@@spacecowboy_1962 Not the same genre, but Barenaked Ladies are pretty popular too.

It is quite sad that no one can really jam like this anymore..

[@paddyolantern4989]

I was at this concert !! Whooop. Had a neat laser show...well...for the time it was pretty advanced ! Muchmusic recorded the event and they made a video for one of the songs.

[@blinderII]

This is my favorite Triumph song! Man, i wish these guys would get together for a reunion tour. I saw the Thunder 7 show, and it was by far the best concert i've ever been to....nothing i've been to since has come close to it...musical talent, vocal talent, lyrics, lightshow, sound....every part of it was pure genius, including the album itself! I don't ever remember being "so caught up" in a concert. I saw Rik Emmett perform last night in Moncton....GREAT performance, but just wasn't the same without Gil and Mike on stage with him.

[@BeeBumper]

The good news is they buried the bad blood that arose at the end of their run, and they are good friends today, and they did a 2 shot show in 2008. They don't see another reunion in the near future, but they are close again.

[@shehuck]

Same here, it was like a religious experience for me! Pink Floyd was almost as good, but they had twenty people and Triumph had three! I am not kidding!

[@williambandyk327]

Dog Groomer; COMPLETELY AGREED!!!!! This song has such PERFECT RHYTHM that can only perfected by a drummer doing lead vocals. I luv Emmett''s guitar-playing ability but Moore's vocals carry a song much better (& w/much more emphasis & FEELING)..

[@zoec1767]

Yes! Thunder 7 album/tour, spectacular!!!

[@deannabriggs651]

Gil Moore one of me favvorite drummers ever who never got his just due. He could of done lead vocals for many bands.

[@nickpope4659]

He is a solid guy! I met him once and he is a great person.

[@marlo9380]

I agree!

[@williambandyk327]

W/all due respect 2 the L8, GR8 Neil Peart (Rush); Gil Moore can do laps around him.

[@rustytimetraveler]

@@williambandyk327 I don't think even (Professor) Moore would agree with you on this one but agreed 👉Gil is one of the G.O.A.T. Maybe, Rare Earth is the other drummer that could hold a candle to Gils singing and tight drumming. Triumph has always been one of my favorite bands. Best shows ever! Can you imagine walking into class and Gil Moore is your professor? Or maybe Rik Emmett because I heard they are both teaching music now.

[@williambandyk327]

@@rustytimetraveler Agreed from a drumming standpoint RE: Peart vs. Moore; however, Moore's singing & songwriting abilities compelled me 2 make the comment that I did. There4, I do stand by my comment as such. W/that said, I'll even add the L8, Gr8 Jerry Mercer (from April Wine) in2 the same plateau.

[@bigboxes]

Love this song. Was just thinking about the Gil sung songs. This is a great song. The Wiki says that it didn't get much airplay. But it did here in North Texas. This kind of music was big amongs my peers. Loved Triumph. Glad to know that Gil sang this one. Crank it up!

[@rustytimetraveler]

Q102 played it a lot. Seems Gil did the Rock songs and Rik did the smooth to over the top. Especially their first couple of albums.. All great musicians that put on really memorable A+ rock-'n'-roll concerts.

I was there while stationed in Ft. Belvoir, VA 1987. Yngwie Malmsteen opened the show and he was good, but Triumph came out and I was blown away. They don't make rock like this any more and its a friggin shame. The 80's ruled, so if ya don't know, now ya know! Three guys, guitars, drums and actual singing. WTF happened?

[@triuman]

Perfect song for Gil

Ahh, Thunder Seven. I can't decide whether I like that album more, or the first version of Rock and Roll Machine. Both of them are so fantastic.

[@leafstigers]

+The Cisco Kid Thunder 7 was the heaviest Triumph album (and my fave) just ahead of R&R Machine- I was lucky enough to see them the night after this Halifax show ( in Moncton NB)..it was the The Sport of Kings tour (aka the beginning of the end of Triumph as we knew it)...most of the setlist of was off of Thunder 7 and Allied Forces as I recall though memory is/was foggy (this was of course back in the age of "blue air" concerts)

[@TheSiscoKid2112]

leafstigers Yeah, it's a shame they never got back together. I would give anything to see them live. Being 16 these days sucks.

[@mikemasterson5761]

Fuckin great

[@exportpro99]

C'mon Gil, you cut the video right before the most amazing part of the song (and concert for that matter). Right after the animated laser guy says, "it just doesn't get any hotter than this!". I've never seen so much pyro in such a short time. More than most bands were using for an entire show.

[@johncorey7408]

Ditto- I saw them 2 nights after this in Moncton- the stage literally exploded- about 20+ flashpots went off in about 3 seconds. Blown away!

[@malaboo2010]

RUSH and Triumph, Neal Peart and Gil Moore, the best of the best drummers. I am from Kentucky and they are from Canada, but I worship these two drummers and their bands !! You R right, nobody listens to good music anymore, i like ICP more than M&M!!!! Ha Ha FTW!!!

[@jimbosc]

This pretty much shows of everything good about Triumph in one song. And it rocks your balls off.

[@GNFAN1987]

I would definitely have to agree that the musical spectrum these days is way off kilter. Where the hell did all of this good music go? My God, we need several bands like this today. This all just proves that music today is more about money then actual musical talent. If Eminem could play either instrument half this good, hell would indeed freeze over. lol Trimph fan forever! ROCK ON!!!
