Any Saga fans here? If so here are all the chapters in order...
I have to say No Stranger is probably my favourite song by Saga full stop. Sadly they are disbanding after 40 years...but I have tickets to the farewell concert!
👍
Well just a follow-up post on this one. We made out way to Toronto on the weekend, and Saturday night we attended the final Saga concert.
Standing room only for the general admission tickets at the Phoenix, so we were constantly being jostled and felt like sardines most of the night. My back was killing me, my knees were killing me, and my feet were killing me, but stayed until the very last note. My wife was certainly a trooper since she knows I'm a fan and stuck it out until the end with me.
Met a guy in line from Florida who had made the trip up, and there were several international fans there too from Japan, Germany, etc.
The fact that this was their farewell concert wasn't really mentioned, other than Michael Sadler making a comment about the elephant in the room and that they were not going to "go there tonight", and just wanted us all to have fun together with the music. You could tell they were emotional at times though...played several encores and didn't seem to want to leave the stage at the end...
Although they have been around for 40 years and have 21 studio albums, it was mostly early stuff they played, and that was fine with the crowd of die hard fans attending:
Overall a great night!
