     During my performance             I did a flying kick        335 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,915      and my shoe came off.       336 00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:05,251           Gil Moore:

      At a certain point,        347 00:13:24,203 --> 00:13:27,006        Mike Levine slid an              Attic Records cheque      348 00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,675    for me to look at and say,

351 00:13:32,678 --> 00:13:34,480       So if I join this band     352 00:13:34,513 --> 00:13:38,484    the ability to make records         is not that far off,       353 00:13:38,517 --> 00:13:40,853    it's a strong possibility     354 00:13:40,886 --> 00:13:43,222        'cause they know how              to make it happen.       355 00:13:43,255 --> 00:13:45,224        And Triumph said,             whether we work or not,      356 00:13:45,257 --> 00:13:47,359        we'll guarantee you               175 bucks a week.        357 00:13:47,393 --> 00:13:50,029       And so, that, with my            girlfriend's earnings,     358 00:13:50,062 --> 00:13:52,198         we could rent a                 crappy little house.      359 00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:54,700        Act III would not

             I went,             362 00:14:00,239 --> 00:14:02,641         maybe there's a                stronger marriage here     363 00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,810           in terms of a

    a level of they were here    769 00:29:55,660 --> 00:29:57,295           but they were                  really only here.        770 00:29:57,328 --> 00:29:59,964      I had more confidence           in their business sense      771 00:29:59,998 --> 00:30:02,333    and their pushiness and              their aggressiveness      772 00:30:02,367 --> 00:30:03,535     helping them get along,      773 00:30:03,568 --> 00:30:05,804    than I was about whether I       was sure about their show     774 00:30:05,837 --> 00:30:06,805          or their music.         775 00:30:06,838 --> 00:30:11,643

        and I'm still in                love with Triumph.        1138 00:44:15,152 --> 00:44:17,821       When I got my driver's      licence on my 16th birthday     1139 00:44:17,855 --> 00:44:19,490      I knew that there was           only one thing I'd want      1140 00:44:19,523 --> 00:44:20,658          on my car for my                 licence plate           1141 00:44:20,691

    So the next opportunity              to go backstage          1146 00:44:33,704 --> 00:44:35,839     I had all three members              autograph them.          1147 00:44:35,873 -->

    every two or three years,    1154 00:44:48,052 --> 00:44:50,054   I drive a 12-year-old car but     I have a Triumph addiction,   1155 00:44:50,087 --> 00:44:52,923

1159 00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:08,539    time is an important thing,   1160 00:45:08,572 --> 00:45:12,009       you can't be worried               about the clock.         1161 00:45:12,042 --> 00:45:13,544            Gil Moore:                      If we had our                      own place            1162 00:45:13,577 --> 00:45:15,045          that was beyond                 a rehearsal hall,        1163 00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:17,047              where it                  encompassed recording,     1164 00:45:17,081 --> 00:45:18,182       we could, you know,        1165 00:45:18,215 --> 00:45:20,384        really work harder                  on the songs.          1166 00:45:20,417 --> 00:45:21,852          Mike Levine:                 Sometimes Gil's the guy,               you know,             1167 00:45:21,885 --> 00:45:23,020          you ask him what                  time it is,            1168 00:45:23,053 --> 00:45:25,255         he tells you how                 to build a watch.        1169 00:45:25,289 --> 00:45:27,725      And so Gil asked himself             what time it was        1170 00:45:27,758 --> 00:45:30,594       and then decided to           build a recording studio.     1171 00:45:30,627 --> 00:45:32,062        We decided to build                a control room,         1172 00:45:32,096 --> 00:45:33,297    that was the first thing.     1173 00:45:33,330 --> 00:45:34,732

00:45:37,735         maybe we should                just build a studio        1176 00:45:37,768 --> 00:45:38,902           to go with the                   control room,          1177 00:45:38,936

1812 01:12:49,832 --> 01:12:52,568          Now it became,               you know, almost a war.     1813 01:12:52,601 --> 01:12:55,404        Ron would play Gil

1825 01:13:23,665 --> 01:13:25,968          I know that it's                  Gil's band,            1826 01:13:26,001 --> 01:13:28,003         really in the end,                it's Gil's band,        1827 01:13:29,004 --> 01:13:31,006          and Ron doesn't                 understand that.         1828 01:13:33,108 --> 01:13:35,244         On the flight back                 I sat with Gil         1829 01:13:35,277 --> 01:13:37,446           and I broached                    the subject.          1830 01:13:38,280 -->

      I remember once, in a            conversation with Rik,     1982 01:21:06,595 --> 01:21:09,931      and he said that Triumph        felt like an empty house.    1983 01:21:11,066 --> 01:21:13,535       I knew what a house             full of love was like       1984 01:21:13,568 --> 01:21:15,036     and how it made me feel      1985 01:21:15,070 --> 01:21:17,772
