Yes. The best. Many songs they had were very uplifting and have actually prevented some suicides. My favorite band and guitar player.

Just watched the Documentary for the third time yesterday..They were a huge Band back then, and if Rik hadn't of quit the Band and went out on his own, who knows how far they would have gone. They had a very large following of course in Canada, but also U,S.A.

This was made official by former M.E.A.T. magazine publisher Drew Masters. The band played the three-song set — which was taped for the forthcoming documentary “Triumph: Lay It On The Li

Actually, after reading Rik's memoirs, they were already waning in record sales as the future was getting ahead of them and the record company, as always, screwed them over. They owed quite a lot of money for merch etc at that point. Tours were fading.
So I suspect it wouldn't have gone on much longer. At least solo Rik dould do whatever he wanted. Mental health and all.

Saw them first in Regina arena 1978 before yhe Just A Game tour which we saw too. Saw them 6 times plus the US fest in 83.
Managed to get cameras in back then, however crappy
I believe this is Just a Game 1978 or 79
Saw Progression tour twice.
Once was Regina Centre of the Arts.
And Centennial in Saskatoon. Surprised stuff didn't catch fire in that venue.
Thunder 7
Always loved Triumph since I first caught wind of them . The first song I heard from them was Lay it on the Line.
