I was fortunate enough to grow up in southern Ontario and see Saga live several times at small, intimate venues. They actually played my high school in the late 70's! (That was my first exposure to them - I was hooked). Always a great live show.

1980 bayview secondary school 1st concert 4 me :)

me too, trenton high school, early 80's.....great band....still listening in 2023

[@batphink2655]

Did you ever meet them? I've met Steve 3 times and the whole band twice good lads though Ian is a bit standoffish....

[@deancamp4914]

@@batphink2655 Met them once - at Oakville Place. More memorable for me than them I'm sure.

My twenties too such good days and the music was fab most of it and the TV shows, films. comedy everything even people were nicer. I'm building a time machine, hope to have it ready soon....lol

Yay -- I get to finally retire my collection of crappy VHS recordings. Thanks, Bruno! 😄

[@kevinpeaker1353]

FANTASTIC, i cant get enough of these old concerts, my favorite band of all time, so ahead of their time, once this covid thing is over we will get to see them again!!!! cant wait.

[@tristanyoung3632]

Have you been able to see them since things have gotten better? Would love to see them before it's too late, as an aspiring musician born in 2002. #dontbelate

[@kevinpeaker1353]

@@tristanyoung3632 no i haven’t, they were close to me here in Ontario but I couldn’t make it, I’m hoping they reschedule the maxwells date that got canceled in Kitchener.

[@tristanyoung3632]

@@kevinpeaker1353 Ah, same here. I haven't been keeping abreast of their Canadian dates because all the updates I get are full of European dates. Hopefully they reschedule that Kitchener show and come back to Toronto, which would be the easiest trip for me. We'll see them soon. 💪🌠

"Don't be late" at 33'00 a climax of what Saga was able to give live...

[@markusfecher6031]

I saw SAGA the first time 1980 in Frankfurt Festhalle as opener for Styx. 44 years later my question is :"Who is Styx"? This unique Band with this unbelievable Keyboard rock sound still has a magic for me until today. 3 days ago I buy "Trust", another real masterpiece, sounds like they where "reborn" again 👍

[@vorhangauf...]

Cool Markus. Sehr beneidenswert, dass Du sie schon 1980 gesehen hast. Bei mir war es erst die Behaviour Tour. Ich liebe ihre Musik heute noch genau so!😉

[@markusfecher6031]

@@vorhangauf... Hallo, bin ja auch schon alt, aber das war das Konzert, dass mich absolut fasziniert hat, denn SAGA war damals schon keine "Vorgruppe". Danke für deinen Kommentar 👍

God I love saga... this concert is phenomenal!!!!

Brilliant Incredible singer from the Brilliant Incredible band (SAGA) (SHINE ON 💎) 🎼☮️🇨🇦👊

[@hulaGUNZ]

Of all the bands I missed when I was young I can't believe SAGA was one of them, their sound filled my youth in Canada.

[@huguessonnic2102]

Thank you for bringing together these live excerpts, including some unreleased tracks with great sound. I grew up with Saga, a team of unlimited creative genius, just like Genesis. They always bring me so many dreams when I listen to their tracks.

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

Such a BRILLIANT band all round in song composition and live performance! Simply World Class! Bruno thanks for uploading this it's priceless!

[@rhyshughes6374]

An incredible group. Almost completely unknown in the UK alas. I love their music, especially The Chapters

[@KurtI2525]

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone in LA who’s heard of them. And I’ve met Canadians!

[@rhyshughes3845]

@@KurtI2525 I found them totally by accident- in the early 90s our satellite TV could pick up German channels, and I started taping “Rockpalast” shows on WDR. Eventually came across SAGA!

[@EDOGG62]

Great band... and highly underappreciated in the US. I saw them in a small club in DC years ago and was blown away.

[@misterslats]

The stage must have been pretty crowded. What DC club: 9:30? Black Cat?

[@OIdiesCentral]

Best progressive rock group in the galaxy ever.That includes all the parallel galaxy's too.

Only 1 small pity that the sound is not equal with the video in the first half hour. Just half a second behind. But still they sound so well… great live band. Don’t be late is so awesome to see it played live.

I may sound ungrateful but on all the uploads I’ve seen of Saga I never heard a version of Don’t Be Late that really does justice to the album version.

[@charlyb.9406]

thanks for uploading. i always asked myself how they would perform this life. incredible saga just nailed it all the years. what an outstanding group

[@t161sprawotsi3]

Michael Sadler face looks younger without a mustache ... SAGA Fantastic Music

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

Also he looks better without the poodle perm. Whoever gave him that makeover saved the band's career. I saw this '81 concert on USA network that same year. Then the next year he's rockin' those Jagger pants and the ladies are jumping him like he's Peter Wolf (J. Geils Band).

wish I knew who they were opening for in the first concert , there's another huge keyboard rig and double kick drum kit off to the sides and behind them

[@michaeldspencer]

I saw them open for U.K. at the O'Keefe in Toronto, if my memory serves me right. However, that show didn't include camera men.

[@yes_head]

"Scratching the Surface" was interesting. Did Michael Sadler actually leave the stage for that one? And did I see Steve Negus singing backing vocals? 😳 The song was a bit of an outlier in the Saga discography, and I could see how it could have been the seed of what led to Gilmour and Negus leaving Saga.

Anyone else see them at the Bournemouth Winter Gardens, early 80's?
