Hey, Janet. Nice to be here.
B (0:58)
Nice to be here. That's right.
A (1:00)
Wonderful to have you here. And the reason you're here is because of the very exciting news that we all got recently when it was announced that after 30 years, Triumph would be hitting the road again. When I tell you that when we announced this news on the radio here in Chicago, the phones lit up. We immediately started getting people sending us pictures of Triumph tattoos that they've gotten over the years. It was just totally awesome. It was a great moment. And people in Chicago are very excited to see you guys when you come here on May 13th. How did this happen after all this time? What made you decide to go back out and tour again?
C (1:46)
Kind of a series of things, really, Janet. You know, it just didn't happen all at once. We, you know, we had an idea, you know, maybe the band would never perform again. And the lighting director and I started working on, you know, a mixed reality concept. We worked on that for a few years, but the next thing you know, there was a documentary that was made about the band that caused us to get together. We ended up playing a show within the documentary. So. And then what kind of sprung at the same time out of that was an interest that led to the great Mike Klink, record producer, who I'm sure, sure you're familiar with, decided he was going to tee up a tribute album and he got some of the, you know, the absolute top players in rock in the world to play on our tribute record. And then so lo and behold, as another left field thing, all of a sudden, the NHL comes along up here in Canada and decides that Triumphs can start getting played like the national anthem during the hockey playoffs and then invited us to go to the finals and play a concert at the venue in Edmonton where the finals are being held. And so we just decided, you know, it's been such a fun ride, why don't we do it? So we, you know, we called Phil up and said, hey, Phil, time to get back in the band. You're off loan to Bon Jovi now. Come back. By the way, we'd like you to bring. Mike couldn't come, so would you like you to bring a bass player? And then that led to Todd, and then Todd led, you know, to, to Brent. And then that led to a like, flash rehearsal with no nothing before. Just get off the airplane, jump into a rehearsal hall. One rehearsal, and then boom, right on the stage. And it was so much fun. We just decided, oh boy, this is pretty cool. We're on our way back in the plane. And then the next shoe that drops is Live Nation goes, we're taking you guys on a tour.
