Triumph The Story of Triumph Part3

[@42lookc]

Mike Levine is so doggone humble. I love listening to him speak. He is so grateful for his time in the spotlight, for the experiences he garnered, and so glad to have been a part of a positive message media for young, impressionable minds. That's rare, folks: RARE.

[@tammyf3465]

A band who never got the recognition they deserved. After watching, I see they were okay with that. I love Triumph. Their songs bring back so many memories. Love love love their music.

[@pfdrtom]

They did in San Antonio! Joe Anthony, a DJ (RIP) on 99.5 KISS FM, brought them down here when they were unknown outside of Canada. They sold out the municipal auditorium here and have been a town favorite ever since. Wish they would reunite and do a tour. Fight The Good Fight!!!!

[@victorgrebelsky1869]

You don't look old enough to remember Triumph.....

[@danomight2904]

"The respect that you should have, for the power ... Every musician, every entertainer should respect that and never abuse it" Wow, Mike Levine, has to be one of the wisest statements I've ever heard from a musician. Triumph has always been a favorite of mine. Always will be.

[@Scottocaster6668]

The bassist is so humble and has such a positive vibe. Actually all of them do. They make you want to be a better person, have a positive attitude, that life is not as bad as you portray it to be. Just a great bunch of guys.

[@mcintron68]

Rik is a great guitar player and because he was(still) a super humble guy, sad but true, he doesn't get the recognition that he deserves. In my opinion, HE is the best guitar player alive today. Love them!!!

[@gdodson77]

These guys were and are one of my favorites bands. Saw them at 13 with Journey it was absolutely amazing. I was an instant fan. They are still part of my playlist today.

[@wesworach7441]

Most underrated Rock Band in the History of Music ! Everything these Geniuses came up with just worked in it's full potential !!!

[@williamlangan5902]

Triumph wrote meaningful songs and tried to give their fans their money's worth when they saw them. That's why I remember them as one reason of what made me love rock music.

[@kennardjohnson7875]

I saw these guys on there first trip to texas, probably 1 of the best rock and roll bands to play in my day of late 70s to early 80s. It was in corpus christi tx.

[@surabhata]

In 1984, I bought a Thunder Seven album, after that, I never forget the rock band named Triumph.

[@maxxwick246]

TRIUMPH still gets me through rough times, especially in this day and age. Always "FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND NEVER SURRENDER" is a great motto for living life.

[@skb107]

Their fame in Texas came from playing small concerts in small towns first, then large arenas came next. Plus, their music was perfect for the times.

[@michaelhart2373]

One of my all time favorite bands. My alarm wakes me to Fight the Good Fight for inspiration to face each day.

[@TheChadTI]

Underrated is understated.

[@hopelines1397]

Triumph proved that hard rock could be good, clean fun! Who knew?

[@tomh5006]

80's what a great time in my life!! Music girls friends, not a worry in the world!! Dam to go back!! Triumph my favorite!

[@jenniferdrhinomom6129]

One of my favorite bands !! Total respect & love !! Hasn't been another band that has come close to there kick-ass music !! 🎶❤🎶

[@markc5771]

I agree in terms of them being the last of the greats.

[@erikbostrom.9318]

Triumph is/was a really positive group. Healthy to listen to.

[@DavidJones-vb6ct]

One of my favorite songs: "Never Surrender!" Dave USMC

[@erikbostrom.9318]

Fight the Good Fight also. Tree-man.

[@normarosales6035]

Triumph was my first concert in the pit back in the day.Awesome memories.

[@crashcarney100]

Thanks for the journey! Such an inspiring group of men. Respect!

[@lanceprzybyla8270]

June 2020 - loving it still!!! The industry / world needs a Triumph again!!! Clean positivity inspires with classy fun experience with integrity!!

[@The-LongRoad-Home]

God what brilliant band philosophies🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@bigbadbamboo1]

I was a lighting director for several bands. I followed them for years and had a great show of my own. Colortrex Show Systems. In a smaller venue I set of concussion bombs but mixed it a little rich and blew the pictures off the owners office wall and dazed a few adoring fans. But stunned the guitar player to a staggering zombie. In those days you asked for forgiveness instead of permission. Sorry Marc. :)

[@chrishutt66yt]

RUSH clearly kicked the door open for them & other Canadian bands but They were more cerebral & dynamic & powerful in an amazing distinctive way! But Triumph was more of a "bombastic" party band and just wanted to have a good time & rock out! IF RUSH was like a Canadian Zep/Floyd type than Triumph were more..KISS!

[@johnmackens2857]

Like RUSH, but with much better singers!

[@tomh5006]

Yes yes!!! In fact hell yes!!

[@steverogers2603]

My workout playlist has over a dozen of their songs on it.

[@raythackston1960]

Wow! Sounds just like KISS...the fans and the show was important!

[@markc5771]

Yes but only one of them actually mean it in a genuine sense.

[@HeyMykee]

Wow - a band whose music actually stops people from committing suicide!! Total opposite of Judas Priest and Ozzy!

[@DirtyMikeTM]

I would love to see Triumph reunion in 2022/2023

[@Miadolph]

That would be awesome but unfortunately they are done.

[@DirtyMikeTM]

@@Miadolph I guess Gil is to busy at the recording studio in Toronto

[@JC-fm9ps]

Sunday Breaks in DALLAS TX at the Cotton Bowl Stadium🤘🤘✌

[@jamesbarrick3403]

Really good music - always respected by all. But never in my top list of bands... they were not dangerous. Not gonna lie. Many would say the same thing. Hard rock is danger and defiance.

[@josearriola3087]

Get back together

[@97warlock]

um Mike bragging about the Intro, Kiss were doing That but on a bigger scale 10 years earlier. Js

[@billsmith9966]

Except Triumph could actually play- as opposed to kiss

[@97warlock]

@@billsmith9966 ha., Kiss werent into technical musical peices, they ROCKED. thats what was needed. Hits the soul way better, not to mention one of the most excitig live shows of the 70s,actually there for a while No band could hold up to a Live KISS show. Not the Stones, not Pink Floyd not Zeppelin. KISS ruled the live shows, ...on top of delivering kick ass rock n roll.

[@billsmith9966]

@@97warlock Kiss absolutely revolutionized the live concert experience

[@TomSimpson4]

8:35 totally different business? Try to make a buck today as a new artist, that's a totally different business. Still, this is a good bio.

[@josearriola3087]

This been should have been a Christian. But it's a hell of a great hard rock band
