Triumph - 'A Night Of Triumph Live' (WEA) DVD
'A Night Of Triumph Live' was taped at the Metro Centre in Halifax,Nova Scotia on January 16,1987.I remember seeing this very tour something like three months prior to this gig.One thing I'll always miss from the '80's is seeing a live Triumph show every other year or so.Let's face it,this Canadian trio has never been anything less than an all-out incredible rock&roll show,specially when experienced live.The tour this show comes from was on the road to support their 'The Sport Of Kings' album.Every track from this eighty-two minute concert shines,but the songs that stick in the back of my mind are "Allied Forces",their signature tune "Lay It On The Line","Take A Stand",their anthem-like "Rock N'Roll Machine",Joe Walsh's cover "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Fight The Good Fight".Plus there are two videos I remember seeing on Mtv or some cable music show.The band,at least on THIS tour had four musicians.Rik Emmett-guitar&vocals,Mike Levine-bass&vocals,Gil Moore-drums&vocals along with new touring recruit,guitarist Rick Santer.Sure wish Triumph would reunite.Come on,guys.Sabbath did,even Judas Priest did after fifteen years.Maiden took Bruce Dickenson back.A fun DVD to check out.
