A nice recording from Triumph's heyday. A great set with all the fan favorites of the time period. A great performance as well, except I do question the decision to put the drum solo in A World Of Fantasy. I think it would have fit better in one of their heavier numbers. Rick and Gil are in fine voice, and the band is very tight. I'm not quite sure but I think the Detroit gig was at Joe Louis Arena.
In 1984 Triumph released what fans and critics both agree was the high water mark of their songwriting prowess Thunder Seven. Triumph was always more of a two headed beast when it came to their music. Drummer Gil Moore wrote AOR/Hard Rock anthems while guitarist Rick Emmett wrote more melodic introspective songs. Combined efforts on Thunder Seven brought the best of both styles into each song. The album sales were marred however by the record company's decision to release the album only on CD at a time when CD players were still unaffordable but to relativly few people. Sales were lacluster even though the band had two hit singles, "Follow Your Heart" & "Spellbound", forcing MCA to press vinyl and cassette copies to try and recoup sales losses.
