Saga...one of the most under appreciated Prog bands in the history of Neo-Progressive music. Every musician could switch instruments mid-song and not miss a beat. Michael Sadler's voice still sounds fantastic almost 40 years later. Pull up their show at the 1985 Rock am Ring Festival in Germany. Incredible.

[@kevincicero8352]

Exactly, at 4:45 you can see Michael start playing the Taurus pedals for a few seconds (for the bass part) to give Jim enough time to pick up the bass guitar and start playing that instead of the Moog he had been playing.

[@Modes9]

I've been listening to these guys a lot lately. They really deserve the same status as Triumph or even Rush. You have to give Canada credit for producing talented bands.

[@christiankiller4617]

Of course, Rush & Birth Control

[@ericbeich]

Old long time fan of Saga as well as Rush. Saga is awesome, so is Triumph, but not even close to the realm of RUSH dude, sorrynotsorry. But hey, it's been 15 years, how ya doing?

[@brucemattson4399]

I agree

[@danielandersen8271]

Or even Rush? No disrespeckt to Saga, but thats kinda push it.

[@wilegar]

I was very young when I heard this song. I was spell bound! It was like an alien race came from out of space to play for us.

[@KristerKnutars]

Those were the days ✨ I'm eternally grateful to have lived in the 80s.

[@kubik563]

Saga one of greatest bands ever !!!

[@talibe801]

thank god i was born 45 years ago... i´m sory for the kids now. saga was one of the best progressive/hard rock bands ever.

[@jacksonfive1228]

Ian Crichton is one of the most talented underrated guitar players in rockin roll. Attack, timing, creativity and genius. His solos have something to say...

[@jom189]

Great Canadian band. Saw them in the early 80's a couple of time in San Juan Puerto Rico. They are awesome!

[@Boricua1967]

Yo los vi en San Juan hace muchos años

[@lisaop787]

Saw them too, at Bellas Artes.

[@greyarea3804]

I saw them in Calgary with Procol Harum. What an excellent concert too bad my wife came down with chickenpox. LOL

[@SoapinTrucker]

Long live the 80's, long live SAGA! 🎸

[@roelmotorfriend5367]

My best friend died a month ago and this is what we heard on his funeral. Will never get out of my head..........this absolute incredible composition.

[@LonewolfCBX]

For me, one of the most great band in this world, and the one I prefer.

[@paulatertturuokonen1130]

⁰000

[@stickyfox]

Michael Sadler does not have a mustache. What you see here is just the incredibly pure awesomeness of his voice crystallizing on his upper lip. It would surely kill all of us if we were allowed to hear it directly.

[@shaynekoeslag5815]

, my my

[@MultiFlorence1]

Good music, give us back those 70s, monumental Rock-classics........!

[@francesdejesus8913]

I never forgot the first time I heard it. I was firebranded somewhere deep and it left an impression that is still with me to this day.

[@GrandMerc89]

There are lots of songs, lots of bands. But Saga is one that is guaranteed to take you off into another world every time you listen to one of their songs

[@squal9000]

Fantastique groupe, ma jeunesse et certainement ma vieillesse.

[@ok-one555]

Outstanding and absolutely unforgettable performance of a handcrafted masterpiece from real musicians - SAGA forever 🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟

[@jorgsandrock4381]

3 Konzerte live erlebt einfach wunderbar

[@MrKeon1414]

One of the most underrated bands to come out of Canada,first saw them in 79 still a big fan.

[@janetmoore5645]

Awesome song after all these years and also today . Still love saga working out to this classsic lyrics. Don't be late. When he says look how they suffer short of breath don't be late. By the way as an asthma suffer the running or jogging helps built up my 🫁 lungs. This song to me is very up lifting to me. Keeps you exercising , and going. Excellent Canadian band saga,and also Rush another classic band.

[@jantjepietje5806]

Rush,i have and like LP "Power Windows" super!! Imo I wish you a good health and fine music. Grtz from Holland/The Netherlands.

[@Historicification]

This is still MAGIC!

[@joeyvader]

No Regrets is one of my favorite songs of all time!

[@kyliemakobsen]

I saw this band in NORWAY in the 80's!! Still in love!! ;-) "never to late"?....

[@CrimsonThorns]

WOW!!!!!....I wish I could get this concert of 81' on DVD....Saga was so freakin' awesome during these years. \m/ EXCELLENT!!!

[@shemphoward999]

a criminally underrated band...top notch music and killer musicians, all...

[@desastermaster2010]

Now listen, kids...This is musik !

[@frankiekreisel9006]

desastermaster2010 so TRUE....

[@cressav]

I saw this band six times in Germany, and loved them each and every time....I am so saddened that Michael Sadler has decided to leave...come on...Saga rocks...it will never get better.

[@greyarea3804]

Bravo!!

[@fransalazar66]

I always wondered what happened to this amazing group. Saw them in Venezuela twice many years ago and the rocked the house both times!!! Thank you for sharing

[@zefolantar]

Great, tight band! And my God….Michael Sadler’s voice is astounding here! Wow!

[@OrrTrigger013]

[@susanam.deleonsantiago7623]

They love them in🇩🇪 Germany too.

[@drkglddrt340]

It's the guitarist that makes this band. The hard edge of organic sound driving and accenting at the same time. Fantastic!

[@rauldiaz6822]

tuve la gran dicha de que las veces que se presento este excelente grupo Canadiense estuve alli aqui en Caracas Venezuela

[@armandovillera8040]

igualmente yo estuve allí

[@TG-sw6pe]

☝🏻😁

[@feelinewozniak3559]

Un artiste qui utilise tout les instruments de musique. Un vrai talent. Ils manquent a la France. ❤

[@tesswolfe179]

Extremely tight band. Love the interplay between the guitar & the keys.

[@guntherheigl6798]

Das waren noch Zeiten

[@seannefortier5916]

Don't forget Streetheart, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Nazareth, Supertramp, Electric Light Orchestra

[@canconrox]

[@finvinkm]

Fantastic show👍

[@cressav]

Loved this band, still do, went to every concert in the 80's...this was genius then and still is......Michael Sadler is great!!

[@TheodenEisher]

This video made me breathless when the song started! Greetings from Venezuela!

[@jstory71]

Saw em live in about 82, one of my all time favorite rock bands of the 80's!!!

[@AnalogX64]

love their synth work

[@alphasounds]

the sound of the studio recordings are reverence and formed for a part my expectations in rock sound. thanks for this saga

[@johnpahl5123]

Saw them perform the entire 1st album in 1978 as Pockets at the Boarding Housein Niagara Falls Canada. Everyone knew then they were special & going places.

[@bjornsennersjo-qw2hw]

I love this band! Se you in Sweden!

[@pauleramo3939]

I saw Saga at the warehouse in Toronto many years ago still remember it like yesterday with Nash the Slash.

[@abocas]

Saw them in Aarhus, Denmark, in 1982, I think it was. They blew us away ...

[@vfiles1]

Saga is one of the best Canadian exports we've had. They are fantastic. Thank you for sharing this video with everyone!

[@Musiquesaecouter]

One of the many great songs from SAGA, a must know prog Rock band with a pop edge, great keyboards parts and an excellent guitarist, as a very special singer, best from Canada

[@tonygriffin6144]

Love the voice.

[@hansKraskes]

Magic Canadians sound creators, nothing to compare...very glad to have seem them live in the 80ties

[@Kaptenmork]

Germans + synthesizers + drums + singer with big hair = winning formula! Bands like Saga and Scorpions will never die.

[@bojna1]

What a band! Can't believe you can't get their older albums off itunes anymore.

[@MrAitraining]

All of my favorite Canadian bands from the 80's were always amazing live. Saga and Triumph are 2 that put on some of the best live (sounding) shows I ever heard.

[@maddinlawrenz4682]

So good!

[@mikeward463]

Man, this bring a tear to my eye. For real. Anyone saw the Montreal show at LE FORUM de Montréal back then ? I was there !

[@gdl917]

I was 15 when i saw them live in Puerto Rico...wow the memories

[@yullteran5852]

For me to hear this when I want its so great, I remembered when I used to hear this song in the 80s I was a child and I only could hear it on the radio. I didnt know the name of the song but it was on my mind and always trying to catch it on the radio to record it but never happened lol And now 30 years later I just type it name and get ready for a good evening :-)

[@lyrics378]

Still love him, first crush ever

[@debnelsonr]

Saga were one of the most competent bands of the 1980's. I love their music.

[@richardcruz9018]

Unbelievable, after all of these years how this music can bring so much back from those days. This band and their music never gets old.

[@CanGuy1001]

[@torellidude]

I was probably somewhere here in the crowd on this video, I followed this band around Germany, they were the best, and loved their music.....times were so good then.....whatever happened??????

[@ericmiranda9841]

My first ever rock concert, was Saga in the 80s in Puerto Rico.

[@thedropshotter115]

I remember living in Puerto Rico 1985 and could not go see them live because i was grounded and my mother took my tickets and went herself, to this day my mom and me are a big Saga fan.

[@bradking1067]
