WOW!!!!!!!!! I totally forgot how great of a song this is!!!!! Wow, what a great flash back to the great 80's music!!!!
Another great band from the 80’s that didn’t get the recognition they deserved.Nice choice Rich!
i saw Saga live, last tour live, it was in Puerto Rico October 2018 and they're so interacting with the crowd, I will die a happy man, they even requested a moment of silence for all of last year's hurricanes , so humble and great of them
Loved this "back in the day" (and now). One of the best of the 80's. Saga is still amazing & Sadler's voice is JUST as good almost 4 decades later!
Wow! That brings back some memories.
I spent 8 years in Germany with Canadian Military in 80's and Saga was a lot more popular there than in Canada
dont know about Canada but as a German I can say Saga was indeed very popular here. one reason was me, I played/heard it all the time ;)
ursanator that‘s true.
This live version is from a festival in, you might have guessed it, Germany. ;-)
I was listening to this CD in my car just last week. Great band and his voice is amazing.
Been a Saga fan since I first heard this album back in 1982. Great album! Not a bad song on the entire LP!!!!
Don't forget to react to their song "Amnesia" off their same "Worlds Apart" album. Funny video. Great song.
SAGA is an amazing band! So underrated. But here in Puerto Rico, they have always been rock gods! They always come to the island because they know they have their biggest fans here. I have lost count of how many times I have seen this amazing band live. From huge stadiums to small stages beside the beach. All here at the island. And they always give an amazing performance.
Yes! I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and around 11 years old when this came out. I vividly remember back then how HUGE Saga (and Triumph!) were to us. Alfa Rock 106 back in the day. 🤘
My fav band. Kind of like your dream theatre story. Opened a whole new world. Got me into synths where I toured across every northern Canadian town with a cover band. That’s where they paid the big bucks! Merci!
They still kill it live wow
Aldo Nova would be a good fit for this genre!
What a fantastic day today: Delain, Yes and Saga... love it!!!
Saga was always one of my favourite bands since I saw them live on their'Heads or Tales'-tour in '83. It was the first of my meanwhile about 15 SAGA-concerts.
Lucky! I've only had the opportunity to see them once on the "Worlds Apart" tour.
im 23 years old and have seen saga three times here in germany.. its one of my favorite bands. they have a sold catalogue with no flaws. so timeless and creative.. you can never be wrong with saga! thanks for the reaction! ;-)
Another taste of Canada, "don't be late" another great song.
I'm am sooooo glad you guys reacted to this song!!!!!
The thing I forgot to say about Saga is the ability of most (perhaps all) of the band members to play multiple instruments. They are a talented lot.
I think the studio is clearly the best.... its the ultimate anthem
Nice choice. I still consider their Live Album "In Transit" one of the best live records ever heard.
Please react to my fave from this era, "Ah Leah" by Donny Iris. A mostly forgotten track that I believe you will enjoy. Thnx for being you!
classic
I've got a lot of Donny Iris CD's...love his stuff!
YOU NEED TO DO THE # THING
One of my fav old 80s song.
Saga was my first live concert in 1981 when I was 15 (Rush followed 1982), saw them in 2018 too and was thrilled by the great power this guys still had with nearly the same line up (just Steve Negus, the great drummer had left the band) Absolutely great band and totally underrated, maybe the most underrated band ever!
Well, finally someone loving the Saga as much as I. A local band from here (southern Ontario) which gained huge notoriety in Germany in the 80's. I still see their original drummer around Hamilton. He was working at Payne Music for a while about 7 yrs. ago. Saga has many, many hits which are timeless, including 'On The Loose'. Check out 'Wind Him Up'. Awesome.
The saga continues...endless dream
This is so crisp. Live is Waaaayyyy better.
I saw them in concert when this song was popular in 1981. They were great ! Thanks for reacting to it, really enjoy watching you guys do these reactions, you seem like real nice people ..
I play my guitar with my eyes closed just for practice, it helps me look at the crowd more when I play live instead of looking at my guitar neck.
Everybody's welcome I asked him to play this a month ago thank you
I remember this song from when I was a little kid. Good memories. Man he has really aged well, voice and appearance, over the last 37 years.
Saga Live, is an eternal awakening of all one's senses.
"Wind him Up"...i always loved that Song...
Loved it again!
Ian Crichton. MONSTER guitar player.👍
Saga was a big band here in Canada and were HUGE over in Europe. I was working as an on-site computer tech in Toronto for a company run by a guy named Moshe (Marty) Lerman, and he was, and I image, still is, quite the character. He was the manager for Saga back in the day, and he financed their first European tour, and the tour did so well, Marty manager's cut was good enough to buy him a brand new Porche.
This is one of a half-dozen songs or so that epitomize the 80s for me. Nice reaction, good choice!
I wish I could have found you guys sooner!! I love this song!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😎🎶🎶🎶🎶 I jam on this one!
I recall the early 80's going to the drive in in Central Florida and there being a stage with a band in the back. That band was saga. We watched a killer concert then spent the rest of the night watching horror movies. Love that time period.
I feel like your talented son is joining you in these reaction videos. I am so very sorry for your loss. You are both two of the nicest people I've seen on TH-cam, absolutly wonderful people, and I wish you nothing but the very best from now and the future.
Saga is one of my daily listens, along with Triumph, April Wine, Lighthouse, Cilliwack,BTO, the guess who… ya im Canadian… best music in the world
Such a euphoric song!
The "album" On The Loose is on, Worlds Apart, is my 2nd most favorite album of all time!!!!!
Get into it Rich😁😁💪💪
OMG I can still remember the MV on MTV back in 1981. I was a senior in High school then in Eagle Pass, Tx so we used to travel to San Antonio to go concerts back then and was about 240 miles of partying there and back
Dude! I'm from San Antonio, yes we have had some kickass concerts over the years!
Saga has quite a few amazing songs! 😎👍
Wow!I am an Old canadian Fans,saw them 12 Times in concert,the thing to know with Saga,is they are a live band,and like you saw,better and better with time.the 24 th studio record is on the way,and it’s gona be a Masterpiece!First single is out and it’s call Tired World!
Right through my heart, my favorite Saga song ever. I respectfully disagree with Kel my favorite version is the studio one, that sound take me back to my childhood, that's how 80's sounded like. I play that song in repeat very often..loved it!
Thank you!!!!!! I loved this song. You took me waay back today. Nobody in my world has any clue who this is.
Killer Dwarfs, Keep the Spirit Alive. Canadien band
YES...or even #KillerDwarfs "If You Believe in Me" or Elizabeth's song ^ "Keep the Spirit Alive"
Dwarfs are fuckin' MINT!!!
Great voice.
I saw them in concert in the 1980's and they were amazing
❤awesome😊
One of my selfish favorites. My metal friends loved this tune, but I could never convince them of the greatness of Wind Him Up; or The Flyer; or so many other tremendous songs and albums. So they remained my band. Rush is Rush and I adore them and their career. Saga has been around as long, and made so much incredible, entertaining and touching music, but without the American breakthrough success, so not many remember them. Many know this song from Worlds Apart, and the subsequent video, but it was recorded in '78, and re-released on World's Apart in '81. Technically, this song is 40 years ago, and possibly older depending on when it was composed. Sadler's voice is one of those deep, resonant and unique tones in prog/pop history. Tons of presence, genuine, reassuring and authoritative: which made for an amazing story-teller. And as a guitarist with an affinity for technical prowess, you would be astounded at the "shred" that Ian Crichton was serving up while Yngwie and Randy Rhoads were still trying to tune up (and I love both, so don't misunderstand my point, please.). Consider these runs, recorded in '78, while Eddie Van Halen was grabbing the spotlight with modified pentatonics, tapping and the dive-bomb. Crichton was like having a Lukather/DiMeola hybrid in the band. Amazing player. Tasteful, technical, musical and prolific.
Can you tell that I'm a fan?
Check out some Kim Mitchell or Max Webster. Great Canadian bands
This is a great single, though I always liked Wind Him Up (from the same album) better.
I'm very fond of Framed and No Stranger too. Superb stuff, near to perfection.
Great song! I miss the 80's! 70's too but the 80's was special. Kel my wife is from Calgary. Love the channel guys hope to hear more Queensryche!
That was on the "Final Chapter" farewell tour. Seen them in munich, it was awesome.
Gladly they back on the road, had tickets for this Summer, but corona...
Every guitar nut should listen to Saga. Ian Crichton delivers the goods like few others!
Mind blown!!!!!!!
Love this....
The Saga "World's Apart" album reminds me of my college freshman year. Loved the album and beginning college was one of the best times of my life. Thank you!
This Windsor, Ontario metal head loves the 🇨🇦 content! One of the BIG4 of Canadian thrash metal bands is Scarborough's own 'Sacrifice'. They kick ass!
Well damn, guess I’m gonna have to go see Saga live.
Love Saga. Saw the mlive in St. Charles Arcada I think 2019...AMAZING!!!!!
I was there also love them
whoa.. SAGA is my all time favorite band... Check out AMNESIA by SAGA ... wow so much to recommend by SAGA ...
their music is so nuanced... and rocks and yet so interesting...
This is one of my favorite songs for sure. I remember where i was the first time I saw the video .also. That guitar solo is really good. That lick is kinda tough.
Did anybody pay attention to the drumming quality difference between the two versions? In this latest version, the drummer "murdered" that double kick drum(s). I was wow wow wow! I had a feeling like Neil Peart was playing or had some influence!
Last I heard this was most likely 1981 on MTV, but now I have a Flock of Seagulls flying around my brain. LOL
The live version teared me up. Miss those days. #LOVE KEL N RICH!!!!!
love this one
Ooh, ooh! Do "No Stranger: Chapter 8" next!
Also, if Michael Sadler comments in these videos, someone's gonna have to ask him what he was thinking when he passed the keys to the band to Rob Moratti. Ugh! Yeech!
Michael's son Seren was born then. He wanted to stay home and be a dad for a while. They rest of the guys did what they could, hoping he would come back.
I missed this one last year. I met these guys a couple of years ago, and got to know them. Somehow they have everything still intact after 40 years. Only the drummer has changed since the 80's.
Wow, been a loooooong time since I've heard this tune! Great stuff!
Perfect song to drive at the Autobahn.
I know you have appreciation for great voices so I’d love to see you do some Cheap Trick, specifically 1982’s If You Want My Love. I think Robin Zander is one of the best rock vocalists of all time yet most people don’t know who he is.
Yes! Cheap Trick is one of my all-time favorite bands
up north we followed Cheap Trick when they were a bar band. Good times.
Yeah, in full disclosure they are my favorite American band. I’ve seen them live 38 times since ‘82 and am seeing them for #39 this coming Saturday with ZZ Top in The Woodlands, Texas.
How do I become one of those annoying followers that request a song a thousand times? LOL Kel and Rich, here's a treat. #Starz Coloseum Rock/It's a Riot. A badass guitar driven monolith. It was a huge radio hit here in my hometown, San Antonio! Thanks guys.
"Don't Be Late" is their best song
Kickass song! Rock radio should have kept this alive
Saga crafted an absolute classic with this one.
I forgot to add that when this song came out, I learned it on my Casio keyboard (remember those cheesy 32 key plastic noisy things? lol) as well as Journey "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" and Van Halen's "Jump" - can't read music but my ears helped me get those down pat back then after 9,000 practices lol
SIMPLY AMAZING THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCE... IT´S ABSOLUTELLY OUTSTANDING A GUYS NEARLY 70´S DO THIS... REGARDS FROM SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL KEL AND RICH.. IM A BIG ADMIRATOR OF YOU BOTH...
You guys are awesome
Saga Heads or Tails....wore that tape out !!
Great song! Definitely brings me back to the early days of MTV where I would sit in front of the TV with my radio and record songs( remember the little mic on your boombox)
So sorry for your loss. I love your channel
And, whoever produced them on this album really captured their 'sound'... as a band, and as musicians. Individually, these guys are powerhouses on their respective instruments.
13 years ago almost to the day I saw these guys live, great!
I liked that you did the original first so Kel kind of knew what was going with the live version and not just in shock. Great song. I have this on my ipod in the car and hear it all the time. Great video.
I love you both! You are so embedded to the music. That always gives me some kind of satisfaction.
Have not heard this song in forever. Thanks so much for reacting to it. Have not heard in forever. Another song that kind of reminds me of this one is "Whos behind the door "by the group Zebra because they were both were not mainstream bands but both were awesome for 1981 or 82. And after watching Saga in 2018 I was like .....Oh my gosh this guy still sounds great !!! Music is so awesome !!! Please react to "Whos behind the door by Zebra
Saga is , like Asia, so awesomely beyond pop, but not too prog or hard to be inaccessible. And I didn’t know they are still around, that live was Great! Kel, just imagine yourself, spandex , big lights, dancing while playing that fast one handed riff, rockstar! Now it’s the same on Pinki, get it!!!
they are so 80’s, awesome. I really love #saga Don’t be Late and #Saga Careful where you Step
Btw, they didn’t even play On the Loose in 2006!
In this format, try Muse Butterflies and Hurricanes studio and then live at Wembley Stadium 2007. I think it will speak directly to Kels.
I loved this song back in the early MTV days. The singer's voice has held up incredibly well as he must be over 60 now.
I owe many thanks for introducing me to this band and album Rich. I can't believe I haven't heard this before. I loved it so much I listened to the whole album then bought the vinyl and CD off eBay. The album cover is actually a US alternative. 😁 Thank you!
LOOOOOVED this band back in the day. Worlds Apart and Heads or Tales were awesome albums. My early 80s workout jam lol. Still gets me going almost 40 yrs later. (omg Im old). Damn, they still got it too! Y'know what's really funny. . . I remember people criticizing their sound for being too "overproduced," but they clearly had the same sound live. I had no idea they were still active. Thanks so much for this.
One of my favorite bands ever! Thanks! Keep the great work!
And yes, I learned this on the keyboard in music class. Or at least tried to play it. That's when I realized the drums were my calling.
Thank you! I have always loved this song!
Strange Advance: Worlds Away and/or We Run
Goos choice!!!! I don't know anyone who knows who saga is. they just look at me weird...lol always loved this song!
Lol damn, this one was HUGE on the radio the summer between my sophomore and junior years in highschool. Good stuff...Saga is badass
