Ep. 267: Grave Mistake: TRIUMPH Shoulda Been Huge-er!!! – pt.1

InObscuria Podcast

This week we took it to the people, and the people agreed! Not just the people; we got the ok from The Chairman, Mighty K, and the entire 51st state of Canada! Therefore, we give you “Grave Mistake: TRIUMPH Shoulda Been Huge-er!!!”. This is part one of our celebration of an amazing power trio from Toronto that has been largely forgotten in the rock n’ roll pantheon. They also happen to have Bonafide Guitar God in the band that rarely gets the praise he deserves!

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Captain Content has mentioned before as a band he would love to dive into deeper. While not the most obscure band we’ve ever covered (they have multiple platinum and gold albums in the US and Canada), they have been largely forgotten as the rock giants they once were. We think they should be remembered as Titans or Rock and thus: Huge-er!!! Eh?

Songs this week include:

1. Triumph - “Street Fighter / Street Fighter Reprise” from Triumph (1976)
2. Triumph - “Little Texas Shaker” from Rock & Roll Machine (1977)
3. Triumph - “American Girls” from Just A Game (1979)
4. Triumph - “Tear The Roof Off” from Progressions Of Power (1980)
5. Triumph - “Allied Forces” from Allied Forces (1981)
6. Triumph - “All The Way” from Never Surrender (1982)
7. Triumph - “Fight The Good Fight” from Live At The US Festival (1983)
