Triumvirat never showed up for the gig because Grand Funk were there.  Someone should have removed Grand Funk from the stage instead of Triumvirat's gear.

I had no idea until I saw this poster, that Triumvirat performed live with a Brass section/Choir

Just read on the net that a local Orlando Florida TV station did a simulcast of Triumvirat performing the Spartacus album in the 70s. Makes me wonder if the tapes still exist!

There is a new old Triumvirat recording now available, Triumvirat Live from Ultrasonic Studios, Hempstead, NY, October 1st, 1974, FM (Soundboard)
It consists of The Burning Sword Of Capua intro, and the complete Illusions On A Double Dimple album
|
I actually just discovered this last week. Fortunately my computer can record audio directly from the soundcard so I made my own CD of it. Pretty good audio all things considered.

Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Cool! Yeah, the audio is pretty good, considering, and a bit better than other Triumvirat live recordings of that vintage. I also treasure the announcements before and after the great performance.

For the first time ever, I have seen reference to Triumvirat playing a concert in the UK. The date was April 18th, 1975, at the Wembley Empire Pool, London, opening for Grand Funk Railroad. I remember Triumvirat singer Barry Palmer saying in a fairly recent interview that the band did not sell much in the UK. |
I am now facebook friends with someone who saw the Wembley concert, and said it was awesome!

Doug, who among the band is still alive? Surely one of them must have some recordings hidden away that fans - and some lucky label! - would love to have released? |
The only member of the band that I know has passed on is Helmut. Of the surviving members, only Barry Palmer is actively on the net and still connects himself with Triumvirat, though.
You raise an important question, some of them may have access to live recordings.
|
I am now also facebook friends with former Triumvirat singer David Hanselmann, who appeared on Triumvirat's "A La Carte" album.

First time ever, on the net today, I saw a poster with a concert of Lou Reed in Boston at the Orpheum Theatre on Oct. 4th, 1974, that had Triumvirat opening. Never knew they were paired together.

For the first time, today, I saw reference to Triumvirat opening for Blue Oyster Cult in concert, in New York City at the Academy Of Music on October 5th , 1974, as part of the Illusions On A Double Dimple Tour. The BOC section of the show was recorded that night. Triumvirat's show was recorded in part, and exists on the bootleg "Triumvirat Live Tour 1974-1975" -an excellent live document.

That is one hell of a strange combination! I wonder how they went down with the Lou Reed fans?

Ha ha, you silly bugger you. I can tell you,Triumvirat needed the job a hell of a lot more, than Grand Funk did.
I love both bands, and would have been all over this double bill.

Maybe if Triumvirat had been teamed up with bands like Moody Blues,Genesis,Yes and the like, instead of Lou Reed and Fleetwood Mac,they would have done a lot better.

I read a review of the concert, calling the crowd "impatient", and only "marginally interested" in Triumvirat's performance, but were "won over" by Jurgen Fritz's work on keys. Then, there was mention of a "tenseness" during the last part of T'rat's set that lasted into Lou Reed's set.

I found out from someone in Germany that around 75/76 in Germany there was a television program featuring Triumvirat known as Bios Bahnhof Music that featured music and interviews regarding Old Loves Die Hard.
Bad news is that he does not believe that it was ever re-broadcast.
Wouldn't that be something to see, though!
|
I checked for Bios Bahnhof on the net, and it says that the show started in 1978, after the Old Loves Die Hard period, so this doesn't add up, really. Maybe something from the Pompeii/A La Carte period more likely.

^^ I pretty much doubt that there ever was something about Triumvirat on Bio's Bahnhof. The "House" band of that Show however was "Peter Herbolzheimer Rhythm Combination & Brass" who featured David Hanselmann from Triumvirat as vocalist.

Unfortunately, not. The person who said he would check into seeing what station initially broadcast it never got back to me, and I have been checking youtube, to no avail.

You are really the most persistent, faithful and dedicated fan of this great band. My Triumvirat goes from Mediterranean to A la Carte and there's really outstanding music there. The infamous ELP connection is misleading and I believe hurted the band's image.
