En el momento, nunca te das cuenta. Canadá no nos dio unicamente a los maestros del prog rock RUSH, sino que también nos proporcionó la música de TRIUMPH. Este alucinante trio acabó su carrera demasiado pronto, si queréis saber mi opinión. Nunca hubo una despedida o un tour de retirada. Ese tipo de cosas no eran tan comunes como lo son hoy en dia. Un buen dia simeplemente desaparecieron. La música de TRIUMPH estaba más orientada hacia el Hard Rock y el Heavy Metal que la del resto de bandas progresivas. Los temas eran casi siempre muy faciles de digerir y consiguieron un decente nivel de presencia en la radio en su dia. Recuerdo que las emisoras de rock clásico ponían mas material de este tipo de lo que uno esperaría hoy en dia. Este DVD titulado “A Night Of Triumph” nos muestra a la banda tocando en la gira de uno de sus últimos discos. Ese disco y gira fue el de “Sport OF Kings”.
Admitiré que no hay mucho que ver aquí más que el concierto en sí, pero aun así es algo bueno considerando lo limitado de este tipo de productos por parte del grupo. Además de este DVD se de la existencia de solo otra edición mas, llamada “Live At The US Festival”. Se editó en el 2003. De todas maneras, ofrecen un gran concierto, ya que eran una banda muy buena en directo. Tuve la suerte suficiente para verles en dos de sus giras mas espectaculares: la de “Thunder Seven” y “Sport Of Kings”.
Hay un par de críticas menores acerca el producto. Este fue el disco en el que Triumph utilizaron teclados en su música. Fue algo extraño para sus fans acérrimos ya que llevó a la banda a sonar un poco menos rockera y más comercial. Incluye todos los hits de la banda y entre ellos, hay algunos de los favoritos de los fans. Entre los temas a destacar se encuentran “Follow Your Heart”, “Fight For The Good Fight” y “Magic Power”.
Significa la edición de este DVD y la remasterización de su antiguo catálogo una vuelta de TRIUMPH a los escenarios? Vuestras dudas son tantas como las mias. De momento, no he oído nada al respecto y con Rik Emmett, que parece muy satisfecho con su trabajo en solitario, la situación no parece muy propicia. Si consigo ponerme contacto con Gil, Rik o Mike, ciertamente os lo haré saber. Esta es una manera perfecta de sentarse y escuchar a un grupo realmente excelente, así que buscad una copia de este DVD.

In the event you never realized it. Canada not only provided us with the Masters Of Prog Rock RUSH, but they are also at the fore of bringing us the music of Triumph. This amazing three-piece group ended their career far too early if you ask me. There was never a farewell or retirement tour of any kind. Such things were not as common place as they are today. One day they were very simply gone. The music of Triumph leaned more to the hard rock/metal side at times more so than that of progressive bands. The songs were almost always very easy to appreciate and they did get a sufficient amount of airplay as in their heyday. I remembered that classic rock stations would play more of this type of music than one would expect to hear today. This DVD entitled "A Night Of Triumph" showcases one of the bands last albums in performance before their seemed retirement. That album and tour was for the "Sport Of Kings" record.
I will admit there is not much more to see during this than the concert itself, but this is still good considering the limited amount of this sort of product from the group. Besides this DVD, I only know of one more piece entitled "Live At The US Festival". This was released in 2003. It does however give you a great concert, for they were such a great band live. I was lucky enough to see them during the biggest tours they had with “Thunder Seven” and “Sport Of Kings”.
There were one or two minor critiques I had about the piece. This was the album were Triumph employed the use of keyboards in their music quite a bit. It was an odd thing for their core audience as this led to less gritty and more commercial sounding material. It does include all of the bands hits and among them are some of the fan favorites to this day. Standout tracks are such as "Follow Your Heart", "Fight The Good Fight", and "Magic Power" and many more.
Does the closeness of these two DVDs and the back catalog remastering signify a return of Triumph to the stage? Your guess is as good as mine. Thusfar I have not heard anything of the sort and with Rik Emmett who seems to be content with all of his solo efforts it does not seem likely. Should I ever reach Gil, Rik or Mike I shall certainly let you know. This is a perfect way to sit and enjoy a truly excellent group so grab yourself a copy.
