Finally! My favorite band of all time after Black Sabbath! Wonderful walkthrough of their catalog Pete - which is a massive undertaking. I'd say that at least half of their albums are top shelf. Never understood why these guys aren't bigger. Unique sounding, lots of great songs with catchy hooks, cool riffs and blazing dual guitar-keyboard solos. Glad you mention Ian Crichton. A very underrated guitarist with a unique riffing style. Instead of using "normal" power chord, his riffs are often single notes and very melodic.

Saga - the support act at the first concert I went to. So the first band I saw live. They opened with "It's Time" with Ian rocketing on from the wings with his iconic white strat to do the "motorcycle chord" before the first solo - and EVERYONE played keyboards except Ian. Fantastic stuff. That was a couple of months before "Silent Knight" came out. Also saw them headline the Hammersmith Odeon on the Heads and Tails, and Behaviour tours. Lots of memories...

This band is loaded with talent in every area-and everyone contributed something to the overall sound. As a unit this band can still deliver a potent punch.

After chatting with him through Facebook, Michael Sadler actually called me one Sunday morning and we sat and chatted for about 20 minutes. there is a really cool experience. He told me why they were never really big in the U.S. and it made perfect sense. He used Rush as a comparison.he said that when Rush first started out they had some releases in the United States and they played dates in the United States and did really well. Therefore that's where they focused their efforts. In the United States. Saga, on the other hand, was booked by their agents at some venues in Germany and other parts of Europe. They did really, really, well there. As a result that's where they have focused the majority of their time and performances. It really sucks that the United States has been deprived of live Saga but at least we do have their music.

Had a ticket for their show in Holland in March. Co-Vid blocked it. Rescheduled for October. :-)

Saga, was the band that started me on Keyboards about 1978. I now have 8 keyboards, loved the band! Wildest Dreams I liked, but odd, Before that all was great. Some after.

I grew up in Puerto Rico and Saga was huge there, huge!!!! In fact they recorded a live show for a DVD in Puerto Rico. I perosnally wasn’t a big fan, but I loved the songs “On the loose” and “Wind him up”.
