What an incredibly established band 💪 ~ such a unique and recognisable sound ~ so many ‘should have been’ hits ~ and such phenomenally good arrangements and compositional genius that transcends time!! Bravo SAGA and thank you for the music 🙏❣️ Thanks for sharing 👍
I have a promotional photo of the group SAGA signed by all the members of the group which dates from 1980-during a show at the SPECTRUM in Montreal. I was even invited to the private party after the show. I will always remember that evening, that night. These extraordinary musicians did not have the notoriety of their talent and their music. When I was only 20 years old (1980 = 62 years old for me in 2023) I must testify that these people were humble and true) By the way, I still have all their albums. An underestimated group in the vast universe of music. For those who want to discover another page of pure creation, SAGA is a MUST. To conclude, the voice of Michael Sadler is a balm for the ears. Thanks
Gracias por tu hermoso comentario: Yo también tengo todos sus discos. saga es imprescindible y necesario para toda persona a la que le guste la buena música. Un gran saludo.
Saga is a very underrated band, they have a very unique sound. I bought one of their albums back in about 1980 and still pull it out and listen to it. I really did not know they had something like over 16+ albums and have come across some of their concerts on RUclips and I have to say I am just blown away on how talented they are! I ordered a 3 cd collection that should be December 3 21 looking forward to getting it.
Why, they don't induct Rock Bands into the HoF anymore. Dont waste the time and effort. If they wanted that they'd have written 3 minute catchy pop songs. Long Live Prog! Real music by real musicians!
Uploaded 2014! How is it possible I've come across this only 7 years later?? 😳 Anyway, this is amazing! Great sound, and even still in the 'classic line-up' with Steve Negus on the drums! 😀 PS: I wonder who their keyboard sponsor may be!? 😉
Gracias por tu comentario, la verdad tengo más registros de Saga , increíblemente lo que me comentas es cierto, uno de sus primeras salidas fuertes fuera de Canadá es de los años 80 , después del lanzamiento de su primer álbum y efectivamente en Alemania, si te interesa te lo puedo alcanzar.
I am a great fan from early beginning of the Band from first released Lp, no Cd´s in past ;-), since Cd´s starting i buyd me all released Album again and further on as Cd´s.Honestly for me the band is only complete with Michael.He set s a focus and performing with his direction the connection to the public audience and interact... all the Live Concerts were for me always a spcecial event. I am sad to read about, that the band want to stop after this 2017 last tour.... truly a great group of musicians and artists leaving the stage... i still have a small little bit of hope they would maybe change their mind :-) alot musicians stopped and made farewell tours, but still are active--- i put all my trust and hope in this imagination, would come true in SAGA with Michael too....
I feel bad for Steve Negus, he played his last show with Saga in his home city of Hamilton,Ontario,Canada, at Aquafest, and hardly anybody showed up. It was rainy and miserable though. I used to jam at Steve’s bother’s practice pad with a few buddies and they had one of Steve’s bass drum skins on the wall. It was the one from the 1981 Dortmund, Germany video. It was white with orange “Saga” written on it. In the video, you can rarely see that it was orange, from the lighting, but it was. Cheers
Ohhh...!!! "In Transit" aun lo escucho en Vinilo, es uno de sus mejores en Vivo, una fuerza increíble, es uno de los más grandes tesoros musicales que tengo. Qué bueno que te gustó el concierto.
Muchas gracias por colgar este concierto, en esta época ya eran veteranos y seguían haciendo grandes conciertos y estaban en medio de una ristra de discos que recordaban a su época mas brillante de los 70's-80's, pero mas cañeros de sonido.
Estimada Maria Isabel, que bueno que te gustó el concierto. ni te imaginas como estan tocando al dia de hoy, hay un nuevo concierto en vivo que aun no puedo conseguir, se llama "Spin it again Live in Munich" (volvio el vocalista), te recomiendo.El audio que esta completo en Spootify.
First saw them in StCatharines,never heard of them and was like hmm very good.Their sound blew me away,it sounded very professional like their gear was AAA compared to all other bands i heard in that bar.
hello hi m.garry you should listen to saga on their 14 cd s from 2000 to 2017 they sound absolely superb hard rock soft rock you name it you got it i recommand it have a nice day
Si es verdad que se recuerda con mucha nostalgia su gran fuerza y técnica tan especial que fue el motor de la banda por tantos años. Él fue y será siempre el gran maestro creador de los mejores momentos progresivos en batería de la banda.

+143Chippy I hear ya. But being one of the premier videos on MTV, the heavy rotation it got in the US was might has well have been "Video Killed the Radio Star"....but you're right. It should have been the finale/encore.
Agree, this was a DVD. They wanted to seel the dvd in the USA and left out 2 out of three of their biggest hits. I think it was originally in the show.
Michael Sadler is Saga's lead singer. Has been from the very beginning. He only took a few years off but has been the main singer for 43-44+ yrs! He has had many phases... LONG hair, short hair, very close to head hair, bald with mustache, bald with no mustache and now he is bald with goatee! :-) His voice/singing is the best PROG has to offer, simple as that!
funny thing is, he uses every single one! I saw a video clip where he explains what he uses each keyboard for. Search for it... it should be easy to find!
To me, it looks like he used higher amounts of keyboards in the 80s LOL. The main reason back then for this 'keyboard showoff" among synth bands was that keyboards all had unique programming loaded into them, even tho most of them looked the same. Can you imagine if vocalist said: "hang on 4 minutes, we are just going to load it up!"
En algunos casos si, se comporta como el gran Freddie, pero Michael Sadler es un gran maestro en muchas de sus puestas escénicas con mucha facilidad para interactuar con el público y para que decir: musicalmente un genio con una voz alucinante y poderosa. Además tiene muchos años de circo. Gracias por comentar.
Сагу слуш впервые. Естеств записей на бобинах нет. Слуш буду через интернет. Не совсем понятнен стиль исполнения. Группа неплохая, слуш можно. Возм, у меня появ настоящ интерес к этой группе. 🎸
Que bueno que te interesó el video: solo debes abrir tu corazón, mente, oídos y disfrutar: los análisis críticos de cualquier tipo estarán de más si lo que quieres es conocer y gozar. Saludos desde Chile.
Isn't gay and saga is way away from being a hard rock act (these are deep purple, led zeppelin, scorpions, Nazareth, thin lizzy...) for that check out judas priest with Halford

Saga ist immer wieder gut zu hören. Die Musik wird nie alt.
SAGA- the Kings from Oakville, Ontario, CANADA.
Magnificient!!! All of them... Ian Crichton is a monster!!!

Nos comentas cuando los tengas. Abrazo grande.
Thanks for this concert ❤
The best Canadian prog-rock band ever !!
Rush would have something to say about that
They don't get the recognition they deserve!
In germany they do! 😉
Super Super Deutschland!
Long time fan of the band. Seen them a few times live. Great band with a unique sound.
What incredible musical composition! Saga in so underrated in US. Germany are big fans of Saga!
Ian is 1 of the greatest 🪓 masters ever‼️
From the US and I LOVE Saga.
Saw them here in 1983.
Debe haber sido una gran experiencia. Que bueno que te gustó mi aporte.

Saga needs to go to Cleveland to get inducted into The Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame someday.
#SagaForRockNRollHallOfFame
Why, they don't induct Rock Bands into the HoF anymore. Dont waste the time and effort. If they wanted that they'd have written 3 minute catchy pop songs. Long Live Prog! Real music by real musicians!
Tremendo grupo, pude verlos cuando fueron a Puerto Rico en los 80s. Buenos recuerdos!!!!
Los ví en Concierto en CARACAS 1984 y fue una experiencia INOLVIDABLE...!!

Gran banda, buen registro tenias guardado. gracias por compartirlo.
Siempre me he preguntado por que Saga tiene tanta acogida en Alemania .
Gracias por tu comentario, la verdad tengo más registros de Saga , increíblemente lo que me comentas es cierto, uno de sus primeras salidas fuertes fuera de Canadá es de los años 80 , después del lanzamiento de su primer álbum y efectivamente en Alemania, si te interesa te lo puedo alcanzar.
Great video quality!! Thank you for sharing this.
Music Masterpieces. Love SAGA, such memories !
FANTÁSTICO EL GRUPO SAGA.MUY BUENAS CANCIONES.
Guitar solos and keybosrds are smazing
I am a great fan from early beginning of the Band from first released Lp, no Cd´s in past ;-), since Cd´s starting i buyd me all released Album again and further on as Cd´s.Honestly for me the band is only complete with Michael.He set s a focus and performing with his direction the connection to the public audience and interact... all the Live Concerts were for me always a spcecial event.

That Michael was and still is an awesome talent, with a very unique voice. When you hear him on the radio, you know it’s him or Saga.
I feel bad for Steve Negus, he played his last show with Saga in his home city of Hamilton,Ontario,Canada, at Aquafest, and hardly anybody showed up. It was rainy and miserable though. I used to jam at Steve’s bother’s practice pad with a few buddies and they had one of Steve’s bass drum skins on the wall. It was the one from the 1981 Dortmund, Germany video.

Обожаю их музыку с 1983 года, когда достал запись " In Transit" 1982. Ещё были катушечные магнитофоны, а CD были в диковинку.
Ohhh...!!! "In Transit" aun lo escucho en Vinilo, es uno de sus mejores en Vivo, una fuerza increíble, es uno de los más grandes tesoros musicales que tengo. Qué bueno que te gustó el concierto.
SUENA MUY BIÉN EL VIDEO .... SON UNOS DE LAS MEJORES BANDAS QUE CONOSCO. GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLO.

Before Dream Theater there was Saga!
Fuck yeah! The tightest breaks ever!

Gracias por compartirlo, Me encanta esta banda y todas las bandas progressivas de los 70 y 80.

Sí y tan espectaculares aún en el último concierto de 2017.
How could they not play their biggest hit "On the Loose" ???
+143Chippy I hear ya. But being one of the premier videos on MTV, the heavy rotation it got in the US was might has well have been "Video Killed the Radio Star"....but you're right. It should have been the finale/encore.
Is not wind him up?
Agree, this was a DVD. They wanted to seel the dvd in the USA and left out 2 out of three of their biggest hits. I think it was originally in the show.
OMG.. Saga!!! 😁👍
TEMAZOOOOOOOO
Pret-ty...Pret-ty... Pret-ty Good!
HALL OF FAME........
HEY....!!!!!, SOLAMENTE ESTUPENDO
👍👍👍
I miss the Simmons Drums sound.
Damien Grey yeah I wondering why he didn’t have an electronic kit...or even just some pads and triggers.
Dwight from The Office is on guitar...
No no, this is Mark Hamill from Star Wars!
You are both wrong!
It's my neighbour Brian 🤡
this is Saga.......but there is one song not in sdyngronize
Hola ese hector lopez, las canciones no vienen en el orden de la numeración, por favor corrige este error man.
What? No "Scratching The Surface"??? Anyways, a Great Canadian Band. Bar none.
I've seen a SAGA-clip with a baldy man singing. Voice of him sounds quite like this guy. Or can't i trust my ears anymore?
Michael Sadler is Saga's lead singer. Has been from the very beginning. He only took a few years off but has been the main singer for 43-44+ yrs! He has had many phases... LONG hair, short hair, very close to head hair, bald with mustache, bald with no mustache and now he is bald with goatee! :-) His voice/singing is the best PROG has to offer, simple as that!
Negas Rocks
drummer looks like a guy named Ed
Sagas drummer: Steve Negus (former)
Looks more like a Rick to me
Why does Jim need so many freaking keyboards?!
funny thing is, he uses every single one! I saw a video clip where he explains what he uses each keyboard for. Search for it... it should be easy to find!
Because he can. Our ears appreciate every one of them !!
To me, it looks like he used higher amounts of keyboards in the 80s LOL. The main reason back then for this 'keyboard showoff" among synth bands was that keyboards all had unique programming loaded into them, even tho most of them looked the same. Can you imagine if vocalist said: "hang on 4 minutes, we are just going to load it up!"
michael sadler is not gay
Luke Skywalker on 🎸?
hahaha. Ian Crichton looks a lot like him there for sure.
31:22 ....Freddie???
this guy behaves a lot like Freddie Mercury - but as we all know..even the worst copy is the highest sign of admiring ;);)
En algunos casos si, se comporta como el gran Freddie, pero Michael Sadler es un gran maestro en muchas de sus puestas escénicas con mucha facilidad para interactuar con el público y para que decir: musicalmente un genio con una voz alucinante y poderosa. Además tiene muchos años de circo. Gracias por comentar.

Bah! Canadians!
No On the loose ? No The flyer ?
I agree. Those two songs should be in every set list.
@@trebillis7399 They were played - the original concert was much longer - but cut out of the DVD release, alongside many others :(
Jim Gilmour should have taken a few lessons of clarinet before that concert !
Never underestimate the power of a gay man fronting a hard rock band!
+Troy Evitt Mike Sadler is happy married and has some kids inthahouse....
Isn't gay and saga is way away from being a hard rock act (these are deep purple, led zeppelin, scorpions, Nazareth, thin lizzy...) for that check out judas priest with Halford
Not gay, just Austrian ; )
