This channel is the gift that keeps on giving to me.. Superior 80s greatness here!! 🥰 Thanks for watching!! 🎹
Very underrated band...so talented and such a great catalogue...please consider Don't Be Late, Wind Him Up and The Flyer. Great reaction!
Really love them after hearing just 2 songs! I will add those 3 to my list, thanks for watching Paul!
Some of their later stuff if you'd like...
Runaway
Odd Man Out

Odd Man Out is still 80s, the others are 90s... so 80s...
Promises
How Do I Look Now?
What Do I know?
They're still performing and writing. They are scheduled to perform in the Chicago area October 24th.
That's awesome to hear. I read that they always play these 2 songs live..🙂 Thanks so much for tuning in!
Great band, fan since 1983.
Earlier albums is great. Some suggestions :
Ice Nice, Don't Be Late, Images, The Flyer, Cat Walk, The Sound of Strangers, You're Not Alone...
Yes,it's a rabbit hole for sure.
Highly underrated band!
The very first band I ever saw live. They opened for Jethro Tull. Great show. Worlds Apart is outstanding
Aha! I was wondering when you'd come to this band 🙂 I'm glad you did! Most of their music is quite upbeat, but on stage they are pure dynamite.💥 Happy to hear you'll be featuring more from Saga. Their guitar player, Ian Crichton, is amazing.
Saw Saga around 1980 in LA, may have been with Rush. They were great live.
Dang, what an epic double bill that would have been! New rabbit hole for me! Thanks BigC/Cliff 🙂
@@retroreactions.... - I saw some great opening acts with Rush from UFO to Pat Travers. These guys were just one of the top Canadian bands touring at the time. Triumph and April Wine were two other bands I saw that were fabulous live.
Glad you came to Saga. If you like keyboard music you may love it. Main keyboards were Jim Gilmour who replaced Peter Rochon only on their first album (he is also great on vocals, see "Scratching the surface" ) from 1980, then Jim Gilmour, bass and bass Keyboards. But not only, Michael Sadler just had always a beautiful distinctive voice that have so much charisma, and he plays also the keyboards! Also it never purely an electro Pop band it's melted with some speed Rock elements, like electric music married with heavy rock. The fast drums of Steve Negus, but even more the virtuose guitar of Ian Crichton everywere. You will hear soon, Saga got full of instrumental fast dialogs surprises, they always were very powerful band, particularly in their beginnings. They melted prog with other mainstreams pop music so easily it's an awesome approach. Good choice of song for discovery, they got so many more. I saw they mentioned "Don't be later" and"Wind him up". Check also "You're not alone" "Perfectionnist"
"Careful where you step" "Mouse in a maze" "Images" "Framed" Saga began the musical adventure from 1978 (not very far from DM beginnings 2 years later if I am not mistaken), they had a very powerful area until 1985 (their 6 first albums are fully great for every songs!) but still have good stuff until the 2000'. Cheers😉!
Thanks for the reaction. Nice that you sample their most popular song but more importantly one of their early masterpiece. If you decide to react to more Saga, you have so much to choose from …I would suggest Wind him up and Don’t be Late. Great job on these 2. No need to say that I ´ve been a Saga fan since their very beginning. Note that they are still performing and give a great show…saw them over 12 times.
next "Don't Be Late" and "What's It Gonna Be" please please!!! Fisrt two songs from their masterpiece album Silent Knight..
Fabulous Band,first 4 albums are awesome,you can pick any track from these 4 albums and not be disappointed. If you can find a band called Zon you would love them especially Astral Projector Album. Try Rush too especially Signals album,very keyboard heavy which I know you like. Keep up the good work on this brilliant channel.🎸
I might still have the 45 to on the loose. Never get tired of hearing that song. Never heard the other song. Got some cool parts in it.
Genesis like as far as the instruments go.
Hey figgybass! SUCH a great song, even better on subsequent listens.. Thanks for tuning in!
Great comparison. I wonder if Tony likes this band?
@@retroreactions.... hmm. Maybe. My comment for that comparison was actually with song 2 in mind. I enjoy your channel. I get flashbacks from these different songs. Remembering where I was, the time of year, what I may have been going through and feeling. I also really enjoy listening to your thoughts on these tunes.
Great tune !
"On the Loose" brings back about a zillion memories. Love the energy.
Nice! Gotta love how music makes you time travel!! Nice to see ya kratino 🙂
A lot of their music is best listened to with headphones ... in the dark ... and lying down. If you dont do it that way you are in danger of being charged up too much ... resulting in you doing something that is "unwise". Listening to this in a car might be considered dangerous (unless you're on the Autobahn).
@@Muck006 I have posted this on YT before. I absolutely agree, and I think the headphones that cover your ears are best for floor listening.
Oh yes, I remember Mtv playing "On the Loose". ALL of the time. It was cute seeing you get little surprises from it. 😃💙🎵🎶🎶 "Humble Stance" is a first listen for me. It is interesting.....
Ah yes, the good old days when MTV was actually music television...I love this band already! Thanks for the late night watch Renee❣️
Love those old Mtv days. Glad I have those memories. 😃Thank you for the lovely channel you have created. 🥰💙🎵🎶🎶
Yes! Basic cable TV, Atari and $700 VCRs! 😂 Have a wonderful night. Eternally grateful to have you here daily 💙
Your great!! Thank you Brandon.
Great new artist choice! I don’t remember if I’ve ever mentioned Saga to you before, but I’ve listened to them for years. “Humble Stance” I’ve not listened to in awhile, but “On The Loose” I’m really familiar with. I’ve got both of these albums, as well as a few others. A couple of other great songs are “Don’t Be Late” and “Will It Be You?” They have MANY great songs for you to discover! You mention Michael Sadler’s voice reminds you of Mickey Thomas from Starship, but IMO, I get a lot of Dennis DeYoung vibes.
Nope you have never brought up Saga in the comments section. So happy you know and like them! Your 2 votes added to the list. Yes, I def heard some Styx vibes in HS. Time to unwind, have an awesome night!!
To my knowledge, my first exposure to Saga. It reminds me of another band, but I can’t put my finger on it. Kind of a pop-y Yes? I don’t know. Very 80’s, of course, on the first one.
Hi, thanks for giving them a go! I have to hear Asia again to see how close they are. Maybe some Marillion vibes?
Best candian band was saga then rush and April wine
I had never heard them, not even the name of the band, they don't sound bad, in the first song there is an aroma of Rush floating around.
Oh wow, OK. No clue how big they got around the world. Thanks for giving them a go! Nice Rush comparison..
@@retroreactions.... as you can see... I am still AWAKE 😜
¡No te preocupes, no le diré a la policía del sueño de Argentina!
It's time to request! from the last and fantastic LZ studio album, from 1979 - In Through the Out Door, the powerful and devastating "In The Evening" and the incredible beautiful "All My Love", you'r welcome in advance.
Excellent band! For what ever reason I never got deeply into them but always enjoy their music when I do hear it and I've had a few friends and old bandmates that were really into them! 😎👍 Makes me think of a couple other Canadian bands that are also great and didn't always get the attention they deserved, IMHO.
Sometime you might want to react to or at least check out for yourself the song "Black Noise" by the band FM, it's awesome and epic! (and the whole album by the same name Black Noise from 1977 is quite good throughout) And their 1979 album Surveillance is also excellent throughout. I'd suggest the cuts "Orion Horizons" and/or "Destruction".
And the other band is Klatuu, which are somewhat more known than FM but not by much? My most favorite cut by them is "Little Neutrino" which is awesome and epic (most of my top favorite music usually is! 😅) but they are probably better known for "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" which is also awesome and my second favorite by them. Both songs are from their first album in 1976. The Carpenters did a cover version of Calling Occupants the same year and were a lot more successful with it, even though the Klaatu original version is far superior IMHO. (but Karen Carpenter arguably had the better voice!) It would be a fun if you did a double header with both versions of "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" but i would strongly suggest doing the Carpenters cover first and then the Klaatu original, because the other way around might seem anti climactic? ;-)
Sorry for the delay! I've actually done Carpenters version of Interplanetary already.. I'll give the link. Looks like 2 songs by Klaatu made the cut today, assuming no blocks!! ☺ ruclips.net/video/vAFIRg3m9ts/видео.html
@@retroreactions.... Yeay! 🥳🥳
The Other Canadian band…
Yes, great discovery for me. Not enough Canadian bands on my channel! Thanks for watching and being first on this one Thomas! 🥇
@@retroreactions.... we need more Emerson Lake and Palmer Live 1997 Montreux Jazz Festival Knife Edge/tarkus❤️✌🏼
Don’t forget Triumph! Or BTO. Or did you mean the “other prog” band?
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Both excellent Canadian bands! (and I mentioned canadian bands FM and Klaatu in another comment ;-) From Triumph I would suggest "Time Canon / Killing Time" and for BTO "Blue Collar"! Both songs are not the most popular by those bands and a little uncharacteristic, especially "Blue Collar", but they are my favorites! 😎
@@JohnLRiceIt's great you mentionned so many underrated Canadian bands, I suppose they still have to be discovered, but when I heard the other Canadian band I though immediately of RUSH. I'm I wrong?
