    Saw the show in Camden, it was awesome !!! Seeing Rik and Gil so happy, was super awesome !! I had tickets for the 1980 Progressions of Power in Houston TX, but I mouthed off to my mom a few days before the show and she tore my ticket up so I never got to see them until Camden. Like Tony, I saw (and met) Rik and Dave Dunlop do the acoustic thing in 2012, which ruled! I thought the addition of Phil X, Kerns, and Fitzy was a fantastic move to make! Kerns and Phil were AWESOME, especially on the high vocal parts and both are killer musicians! Rik was happier than I’ve ever seen him man, which made me smile and sing the whole night long !! Just a super positive, life affirming experience !! Also, Camden may have had about 5-6 K max, the grass section was shut off, and they were dropping prices like mad by show time in fact a buddy who is ex-military got free tix in a much better section so I moved up from my first day of sale halfway garbage seat.

    Saw Triumph in 1981 at the Santa Monica civic on the allied forces tour. Outstanding show. Great 3 piece band. Rik totally underrated as a singer/guitarist. Mike and Gil excellent musicians as well. Think the opener was either earthquake or van wilkes. 😮😮😮

    I saw Triumph at the US festival in 83’ and they were great. You can watch it on YouTube, they were the oddball on a stacked lineup for Metal day but were one of the most memorable acts of the day, much better than a wasted Van Halen. I saw them one more time a couple yrs later at the Aladdin theater in Vegas and they were great then too. I bought the documentary on YouTube TV and it was too short and didn’t live up to the other Banger films docs, like Flight 666, was kinda disappointed by it, but still dig Triumph..

    Saw the show at Darien Lake Ampitheater. It's about half way between Buffalo and Rochester. 3.5 hour drive for me. It was worth it, though. Thought both bands were incredible. I'm in my late 30s so I, obviously, never got a chance to see the band in the 80s. Thought I never would. Bought a ticket the morning they went on sale. Hope we get another run next year and it lands closer to home.

    Great concert review fellas, I saw this tour as well may 30th at Michigan Lottery Amphitheater in Sterling Heights Michigan just outside of Detroit. The show was sold out packed about 7,500 capacity, both bands were great too bad Triumph didn’t play world of fantasy otherwise it was a great setlist for first time seeing them, the attendance for this tour is doing well I wouldn’t be surprised if they announced another leg of the tour soon

    The trio of the Mighty Kip Catino, Tony D, and Kaminski with the addition of the 👑 is a winning combination. 🤘🏼

    I was going to go here in Tampa but I just couldn't pull the trigger with the price. And that there was no Levine and Phil X and Slash's guys were doing a lot of the singing/playing. I'm sure they were great and it's a shame because they were my #1 bucket list band. Wish they'd not waited forever to do it.
