I will be seeing them for the first time on October 17th, 2024 at the Acadia Theater in St. Charles, Illinois. I’ve been wanting to see them live for years and now they’re playing a show in the Midwest within a couple of hours of my home in Milwaukee Wisconsin! I just wish my Wife was still here on Earth to experience it with me.

40 YEARS AGO i GOT THE 'HEADS OR TALES' CASSETTE TAPE BY THIS INCREDIBLE BAND AND i JUST LOVED IT, WITH NO INTERNET AND NO MONEY IT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT TO TRACK AND GET AHOLD OF THEIR OTHER WORKS. I REALLY REGRET HAVING MISSED ALL OF THIS FOR 40 YEARS. NOW AS A SOON TO BE 57 I WILL ENJOY LISTENING TO ALL OF THEIR RECORDINGS AND ENJOY REDISCOVERING THESE FINE MUSICIANS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.

SAGA has stood the test of time even more so than Rush I've enjoyed their music since there first album back in 1978, I even had a poster from CBC radio Winnipeg of that album cover ,I find them much more interesting than Rush and lyrically much more profound and relatable, the full band is more diverse and more interesting than Rush ever was, Europeans agree with me on this as sales of SAGA proves it over there as well as the concerts there, I'm still listening to them as they are just as relevant as they were 45 years ago compared to today's music, it's a pleasure to keep listening to them and watching videos like this.

Saw Guitarist (Ian C)in band Kickback in the 70's when they played Yonge Station. He was amazing then and listening to him accompany the vocalist (MR Sadler) is really powerful musicianship. These guys remain young because they never sold out. Really enjoyed listening. I won't ever conform for anyone. You are the company you keep, Dear God.xo
