When the band Triumph comes up, most folks think 'Magic Power', 'Fight The Good Fight' and 'Lay It On The Line', but I really love this oft forgotten tune that got upstaged on the Allied Forces LP as it was the last tune on Side-B.

Rik Emmett is one of the most under-rated pickers ever. (and could sing pretty good as well back in the day)

I may be biased, but I would be inclined to agree. Too bad the infighting destroyed them, bet they still had some great music in them. Judging from the last interviews I saw from the 3 of them, there's no reunion coming. Ever.

Triumph ripped the behind out of the US Festival or whatever it was way back there. I remember thinking that they schooled a bunch of the better known bands. What is it with Canadian bands singing like they're breathing helium? I always just loved Pat Travers. Nothing pretentious. Not over the top arrangements. Life in London, Snortin' Whiskey, Just straight ahead rock.
