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.
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.
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.
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?
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 :-)
They will always be one of the best bands ever!! There sound remains amazing. I' saw them three times here in Puerto Rico. They were awesome!! Thank you for the memories
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

Of course, Rush & Birth Control
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?
I agree
Or even Rush?
No disrespeckt to Saga, but thats kinda push it.
Saga one of greatest bands ever !!!
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.
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...
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.
Those were the days ✨
I'm eternally grateful to have lived in the 80s.
Great Canadian band. Saw them in the early 80's a couple of time in San Juan Puerto Rico. They are awesome!
Yo los vi en San Juan hace muchos años
Saw them too, at Bellas Artes.
I saw them in Calgary with Procol Harum. What an excellent concert too bad my wife came down with chickenpox. LOL
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.
For me, one of the most great band in this world, and the one I prefer.
⁰000
Long live the 80's, long live SAGA! 🎸
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
Good music, give us back those 70s, monumental Rock-classics........!
This is still MAGIC!
Now listen, kids...This is musik !
desastermaster2010 so TRUE....
Outstanding and absolutely unforgettable performance of a handcrafted masterpiece from real musicians - SAGA forever 🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟

, my my
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.
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.

Rush,i have and like LP "Power Windows" super!! Imo
I wish you a good health and fine music.
Grtz from Holland/The Netherlands.
Fantastique groupe, ma jeunesse et certainement ma vieillesse.
tuve la gran dicha de que las veces que se presento este excelente grupo Canadiense estuve alli aqui en Caracas Venezuela
igualmente yo estuve allí
☝🏻😁
Extremely tight band. Love the interplay between the guitar & the keys.
One of the most underrated bands to come out of Canada,first saw them in 79 still a big fan.
3 Konzerte live erlebt einfach wunderbar
a criminally underrated band...top notch music and killer musicians, all...
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.
Bravo!!
Don't forget Streetheart, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Nazareth, Supertramp, Electric Light Orchestra
ummm ... of that list only streetheart is canadian...
and Lynx
Great, tight band! And my God….Michael Sadler’s voice is astounding here! Wow!
Roberto Clemente Coliseum, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1981 - SAGA in Concert, Yes, I was there!
me too
Debió ser GRANDIOSO. :") Qué pena que yo no estaba en planes para ese año. :"(
i was there too, PR was meca the SAGA on 80's.
They love them in🇩🇪 Germany too.
What a band! Can't believe you can't get their older albums off itunes anymore.
I saw this band in NORWAY in the 80's!! Still in love!! ;-) "never to late"?....
It's the guitarist that makes this band. The hard edge of organic sound driving and accenting at the same time. Fantastic!
Saga is one of the best Canadian exports we've had. They are fantastic. Thank you for sharing this video with everyone!
So good!
Germans + synthesizers + drums + singer with big hair = winning formula! Bands like Saga and Scorpions will never die.
No Regrets is one of my favorite songs of all time!
Un artiste qui utilise tout les instruments de musique. Un vrai talent. Ils manquent a la France. ❤
Love the voice.
love their synth work
Fantastic show👍
Brilliant teachers of Dream Theater..The students are excellent too !
An absolute Canadian classic! Never fully appreciated here at home however Europe and in particular Germany got it!
WOW!!!!!....I wish I could get this concert of 81' on DVD....Saga was so freakin' awesome during these years. \m/
EXCELLENT!!!
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
I was 15 when i saw them live in Puerto Rico...wow the memories
Still love him, first crush ever
Amazing. My father saw them twice in Puerto Rico!
Das waren noch Zeiten
Loved this band, still do, went to every concert in the 80's...this was genius then and still is......Michael Sadler is great!!
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.

I saw them in Puerto Rico in 1986 and the show was awesome..........

This video made me breathless when the song started! Greetings from Venezuela!
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.
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 !
I was there also! It was just WOW!!!!
Amazing band!

REMEMBER
Canada is not only about Celine Dion and Justin Bieber, it is also about Saga, Rush, Triumph, Voivod, Bachman Turner Overdrive...
Saga were one of the most competent bands of the 1980's. I love their music.
thanks for this awesome video. Classic song, probably Saga's best!
...THE BEST SONG OF THE GROUP.
I was a teenager not much more than 14 when I first heard this band..
