During an interview with the “Let There Be Talk” podcast, bassist Mike Levine was asked if there would be a possible Triumph reunion with the band’s classic lineup.
Mike said:
“I don’t think we’re physically able to do that. We did three songs for the (‘Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine’) documentary, and it was rough tooling up, ’cause Gil (Moore) and I hadn’t played in a while. But Rik (Emmett) is always playing; he’s on the road a lot. So he had good patience, while we were hacking around. I was trying to figure out, ‘Where is my hand going there?’ And Gil‘s going, ‘What’s a drum?’
”But Rik had good patience. And after three or four rehearsals, we started to find a groove. And then when we actually did the gig for the fans for the documentary, [after] three songs we were [exhausted]… So the idea of a whole show… I don’t think so. Rik can’t really hit those notes like before. Even when you drop the key a bit, it’s still not easy… So it’s really tough, as you’re getting older.”
