Interestingly, "All the Way" (the third of the three tracks to chart), was Triumph's highest charting song on the Top Rock Tracks chart, but did not sustain that level of popularity with Triumph fans as the song is not included on their 1985 live album "Stages", the later "Classics" (a Greatest Hits album) or 2005's "Livin' for the Weekend: The Anthology" album.
