  • SAGA (The Band) at AQUAFEST in Hamilton Ontario 2003. This was the last show of veteran drummer Steve Negus.
    It was cold and rainy and hardly anyone was there - you would never know it considering the performance these guys gave. It was like they were playing Radio City!!!! Cudos SAGA for setting a standard most bands can't even touch today!

    I love Jim Gilmour, he has such an amazing voice and is just another reason that SAGA is awesome.

    What a coincidence that I find this today. I was at that concert and I was looking at pictures I took from it last night. It's bitter sweet memories because it was Steve's las official concert with Saga. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks to this legendary Canadian group it was that in my childhood I was able to know this extraordinary music called Rock, until today after many years I continue listening to it and enjoying it as if it were the first time .. Saga, Yes, Rush, Van Halen, Quiet Riot, Pearl Jam, INXS, Live, Simple Minds, etc. etc..

    Don’t worry Michael Sadler, anyone who doesn’t see you as a great vocalist is tone-deaf and a moron, you are fabulous as a vocalist and a front man, super performances every time.

    I shot this video. It was recorded in widescreen, which is why it looks a bit stretched. I don't think it was ripped correctly.

      P Morosin Thanks for uploading! This was my one and only Saga show. I was a new fan with less than a year of listening after discovering them. I got five days off work and flew all the way out from California to catch this show. (This anecdote perplexed Jim Crichton.)
      I actually caught one of Steve's drum sticks at the end, but some dude's girlfriend guilt-tripped me into giving it to her, coming up with a sob story how they were personal friends and he was aiming for them. Nevertheless, I let the karma go with the stick and had a blast.
      It was my first time travelling solo in my early 20s, and I had never been to Canada before. The memories are vivid. I still remember listening to Wildest Dreams on my headphones on the bus to the show and just being filled with nervous excitement. Thank you for documenting this!

      P Morosin Haha! Dude, you actually managed to record my getting my Worlds Apart record signed! What a trip to randomly catch the back of my head and hear my voice on a video captured 14 years ago. Crazy.

      Saga was on mid-afternoon - I think Chilliwack was the "headliner" at night.... I don't think the event organizers knew quite what to do with Saga....

    Ian really overused the wah-wah during this era! It has no place in Humble Stance and You're Not Alone!
