Can't you feel the magic, feel it everywhere, Can't you hear the music, there's something in the air, There's a celebration, deep within a song, Celebrate this feeling, you know it can't be wrong

I own : " Rock'n'Roll Machine", "Just A Game", "Progressions Of Power", Allied Forces", "Never Surrender","Thunder Seven", "Stages", Sport Of Kings", and "Surveillance". All originally purchased by me on vynil.


On CD : "Livin' For The Weekend", and "King Biscuit: TRIUMPH In Concert"


I have seen them 5 times.

Allied Forces tour. Opening Act: Flyte (A then Jackson, MI based band).

Never Surrender tour with Foghat.

Thunder Seven tour with Molly Hatchet.

The American Rock Festival with Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Nightranger, Accept, and Ratt.

Sport Of Kings tour with Yngwie Malmsteen.

Yes, I was a HUGE TRIUMPH fan. I still am.

What did you think of that show? I was there too, sorta. There was like a ba-zillion people there, I thought Pine Knob (DTE) oversold their shows, geez . We missed quite a bit of the show because of the traffic jam we were sitting in trying to get to there. Like many others, we ended up leaving the car on the side of the road and hiking for miles to get in there. I was less than thrilled by the time we got in there.

GO VIKES

I own everything officially released on all of the following mediums:

Vinyl, 8-Track, Cassette, and CD.  Yes, several duplicates, but what is a fan to do?

I have all of Rik's stuff officially released on CD and DVD.

I have only seen Triumph once, Thunder 7 Tour.

I have seen Rik several times, whenever he's out west.

I met Mike once when he was doing some work for United Way.

I refuse to purchase any bootleg releases.

Some days I worry about my memory, other days, I remember not to worry about it.

Between my Dad and I:

Vinyl - Stages and every studio album except for Edge Of Excess.

CD - In The Beginning, Rock And Roll Machine (Re-release), Progressions Of Power, Edge Of Excess.

Also recently purchased Live At Canada Jam on CD from ebay. It is a live concert from 1978 and also includes to tracks at the end that were never released anywhere else, which are "Hobo" and "Got to Get You Back Into My Life"

All we have left is Live At King Biscuit, Live At The US Festival, Extended Versions, Anthology, and Classics.

As for Rik's solo work we have his debut album Absolutely which is a good rock album. Favourite song is Drive Time.

"The ghosts of Woodstock still haunt the next of kin."

I own all of studio albums on CD. However, some have become scratched up over the years. I would like to get the Anthology.

I have vinyl through TSOK.  CDs include RNR Machine, Surveillance, & Classics.  I never bought Edge of Excess due to a disturbing absence.

 I also have captured Just a Game, T7, Allied Forces, and parts of Progressions of Power & Stages (new tunes) to digital.
 

 

And I don't have whatever came before RNR Machine. So I guess I'm missing 1st and last.

As for Rik's solo work we have his debut album Absolutely which is a good rock album. Favourite song is Drive Time.

Always loved that album, and Drive Time was an excellent opener. But I loved Absolutely because of it's versatility, the rockers are just as good as When A Heart Breaks, The Way That You Love Me

All except for Edge of Excess, to me it wasn't Triumph without Rik. I have all of Rik's solo disc's.  I heard a few songs off of Edge of Excess, didn't care much for them.

get EOE somehow...you wont be disappointed, pretend its a different band, the music is pretty good, Gils vocals are great!

Can't you feel the magic, feel it everywhere, Can't you hear the music, there's something in the air, There's a celebration, deep within a song, Celebrate this feeling, you know it can't be wrong

Back in the day, I had everything up through the last album with Rik that was available here in the states. (That means the American R&R Machine, which was a compilation of their first two.  At the time, I thought that was their first record!) That was all on vinyl.  

Unfortunately, I did not take the best care of my LPs!   I trashed most of my collection once I made the switch to CDs, with the exception of a few keepsakes. Amongst the latter is a copy of 'Just A Game.'  I kept it primarily for the artwork and the game on the inside fold.  My best friend and I, who was the guitarist in the group I was in, used to play that game all the time!  I still remember a particular square...  "Your bass player has found Jesus, back 11 squares!" (something like that) We used to laugh, because the pics of Mike on the jacket looked like Jesus!   

Today, on CD, I have: 

• R&R Machine (The real thing, Canadian version this time!)  
• JaG
• PoP   
• AF
• NS
• T7
• Surveillance  
  
• Sport of Surveillance -- A CD I burned and jokingly named. It's my favorite tracks from those two CDs, minus the stuff I thought was weak.  

Plus the US Festival Show on DVD & CD.   I've been meaning to track down a copy of the King Biscuit show...  just haven't followed through on it!

Don't look back in anger, don't look ahead in fear. You just keep takin' her as she comes, until she comes in clear. The love you send out, returns to you in time.

I own them all, from the original Triumph untitled, to the original Rock n Roll Machine both under the attic label. and I own the rest of them up to Survellience. I've been a fan since 1980.
