Well, well, well! For the first time in my life, on the net tonight, i saw a direct reference to a concert with Triumvirat in Canada. (I started a thread on Triumvirat in Canada, but it has been closed) The reference mentions Supertramp and Triumvirat -Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, Calgary, Alberta, Canada for Tues. Aug. 5th, 1975. It does not mention who led in for who, and whether this concert actually did take place for certain. Anybody out there actually see the show?
Triumvirat in Canada was a reality. I checked the above reference recently, and someone signed up as having been to this Calgary concert so long ago. Makes me wonder if there were any other Canadian dates.
I heard recently from a very reliable source, that Triumvirat did indeed play Montreal.
August 16th, 1975, at The Forum in Montreal, opening for BTO. I think this, and Calgary on August 5th of that year, were the only Canadian dates the band ever played.

Rednight, I'm pretty sure it was late 1974 around Thanksgiving. It was the Welch/Fleetwood/McVies lineup, after the release of Heroes Are Hard to Find. So it was also just after the first Starship album, Dragon Fly, and after Illusions on a Double Dimple for Triumvirat.
I'm a fan of both Fleetwood Mac and Jefferson Airplane/Starship by the way.
Fleetwood Mac live with Mr. Welch (God rest his soul) would have been a station of the cross for me had my 14-year-old self been more aware of who was on tour at the time. Silly of me to consider the 'Rat opening for the post-'75 configuration of the Mac. Regardless, the show you witnessed must have been enchanting.

Add another for seeing them in LA with Fleetwood Mac and Jefferson Starship. I didn't know their music at the time, and I was only 12 years old. I also didn't live in LA, but I have family out there that I've spent a lot of time with (and that I've seen tons of concerts with).
Marvelous. Fleetwood Mac and Jefferson Starship as headliners. Sounds like slow death after the 'Rat stepped off the stage. And It would be interesting to know which album the lads from Germany were supporting at the time as both the Mac-sters (with Buckingham and Nicks) and Jefferson Starship were in full steam post-1975 (I'm assuming this was post-Bob Welch 'Mac)[I'm so confused.].

Found this on youtube today, featuring Jurgen Fritz and Hans Bathelt, and a woman from 1975-only video of Triumvirat members from that year I have seen.
I love how they dubbed the sound with an amped B3. :D

Thanks for all these great posts Doug. Is that Hans driving the van? The pic of the Illusions mini-lp cd from Japan with the Harvest obi strip is hands down the best sounding version available (unless you have access to Jurgen's private vault!
Greetings, Joe, and thanks. Yes, that is Hans Bathelt in the driver's seat. And that mini lp Illusions CD is totally awesome sounding!

If I remember rightly, In Concert was this Friday night program on ABC in the states after the late news that could feature anyone from Cat Stevens to the J. Geils Band to the Bee Gees with an occasional nod to prog such as Focus and the like. One special evening had Rick Wakeman performing Journey to the Center of the Earth. I believe its biggest episode(s) had the first California Jam show with the riveting E.L.P. performance that ensued. Don't remember Triumvirat though. Shucks! I'd be very curious to see all the bands that played on In Concert week-by-week (the same goes for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert).

Put it this way, Doug. I did end up putting it in a frame, but I had to get a frame that was even smaller than A4 size, to give you an idea of how big/small it was!
Probably if I looked closer at the ad it would have mentioned the measurements - always pays to read the fine print!
