[@MichaelSadler]

Outstanding my friends!

[@johnnymaz963]

Thank you Michael.

[@ZedGuitar]

Thank you for the compliment. This is one of my favorites all time songs and it was a treat to play it with these musicians. :)

[@Fretless99]

High praise, coming from you, sir!

[@alana9832]

Great job on the vocals by the way they were spot on!

[@jediazp]

The best Saga cover ever!

[@benjaminwigley4132]

2024...love this

[@brainscott8198]

omg...this takes me back to September, 1982...excellent job!

[@YesYouCANPlayGuitar]

That rocked Johnny!

[@randytrader3026]

Everyone was on the money.. vocals , keys , guitar, bass and drums .. I've been playing keys forever and I'll always say what a group is lacking in a cover song. But this was pretty damn good.. let me watch it a few more times, there's gotta be something I can find that sucks.. I'll be back.. Ok.. how did I miss this ??? The pictures on the walls are all crooked. and the singer has disco lights shining everywhere.. "WHAT THE HELL YA'LL " !!!!!!!

[@moonytheloony6516]

[@jeffersonmanchild9271]

Amazing!!!! 😍🔥🔥🔥

[@philbarhight4114]

This just came across my suggestions...and I am wondering why KZbin's algorithm took SO long to show me this AWESOME cover! Outstanding, friends!

[@AustinMo]

Jean killed the vocals!

[@Porscheman1]

All fantastic musicians! Saga is one of my fav bands. They were formed in Oakville ON Canada near where I live.

[@flashy5150]

Very nice,the actual band is from very near to my location. Awesome job.

[@alcondragon]

Totally amazing. Great job indeed.

[@arthur1078]

Great voice

[@pjones8404]

Absolutely outstanding. The vocals are by far the highlight! There are moments that capture that Michael Sadler tone and phrasing perfectly. Very enjoyable.

[@ruimartins2953]

I totally agree..at first I thought he was lip syncing cause it sounded exactly like Michael...the phrasing is absolutely dead on.I can pick out all the shortcomings in the various instrument notes/ sounds but overall this is pretty damn good!

[@patrickrood9865]

Tremendous!!!

[@eddyalonso7661]

You guys did a great version of the tune. It is a killer tune.

[@chassy]

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

Clean & Tight 🤘🏻

[@mariosiaven2965]

Everything 10/10 but the vocals are outstanding to the point you cannot tell it apart from the real one and looks like him too

[@dropjawflies6554]

EXCELLENT!!

[@3lullabies]

Saga and Rush are paralell in my ears eyes 😆

[@swefinn6619]

Amazing!!!

[@daveb227]

Before I push the play button I was skeptical now who else can sing like Michael Sadler. I sure found out this guy can and very well too. Great synchronicity guitar and keys together outstanding job

[@frk75]

You should check out his band "mystery", another Canadian band

[@gornhorror]

Great job guys. I live for this S&%t. :)

[@paulmcmullan8498]

As a saga fan from their first album....if you close your eyes it's impossible to tell them apart.... excellent cover..would you consider contacting them about being their official cover band..

[@jediazp]

Jean Pageau is the main vocalist in the group Mystery… Jean and Michael are good friends, in fact Saga and Mystery are both Canadian and close bands…

[@lightmeupper]

From one prog fan to another, thanks for the tip on "mystery" band!

[@francoisdesnoyers9276]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!L!L

[@gidrae]

I like it!

[@m.scottreeder]

Absolutely awesome, note for note!!Great cover, guys!! I believe that song came out around ‘82, maybe ‘83. I was eighteen or nineteen. When this track was released, it gained significant airplay on Montgomery, Alabama’s old local rock station, WLSQ-AM 950 (since has signed off). “On The Loose” may have been played on the FM stations too, I just didn’t pay attention because I foolishly dismissed the song as MTV. You had to have been around in the early ‘80s to understand why some had a hostile attitude against MTV, and the drastic ways rock music was changing to accommodate production of videos. The song you guys played flawlessly took me back to those days. Now then, hire another guitarist so you can cover “Shooting Shark” by Blue Oyster Cult.👍🏻🇺🇸🎸

[@m.scottreeder]

Oops! Let me rephrase my suggestion. Hiring another guitarist to perform Shooting Shark requires an ADDITIONAL guitarist, not replacing the one in the video/band. Sorry about that.

[@stevesorensen5523]

Fun cover of my favorite song from my favorite band. Jean could stand in for Michael any day he needs a day off . . . But, who ever mixed this video need to advance the drums a frame or two. Drums lag through the entire song just a bit.

[@invertedbat6546]

You guys should do a cover of 'Who's Behind the Door' by Zebra :)

[@donharrold671]

A much harder song to play than one would think.

[@alexhicks5889]

Are the guitarist and bassist brothers, as in Saga? They look like they could be.

[@ZedGuitar]

Haha. No, we're not brothers. :)

[@TheMartPlante]

3:44 BAdass Frank.

[@ZedGuitar]

Haha, tellement!

[@mariusmusicus]

Hey les gars, est-ce que vous jouez live?

[@stephanlevesque9593]

C'est ahurissant à quel point la voix sonne comme celle de Michael Sadler!

[@davejazz6058]

D.A.M………

[@Richard31406]

great sound but drummer needs a click track.
