Saga

약력

Saga est un groupe canadien de rock progressif et de néo-prog formé en 1977 à Oakville (Ontario) au Canada, par Michael Sadler et Jim Crichton1. Issue du rock progressif post-1970, le groupe canadien tire ses influences de la musique blues, funk et classique. Saga est l’un des groupes néo-prog qui connaît le plus grand succès sur une échelle internationale, aux côtés de Marillion et Pendragon, parmi d’autres. Ils sont le premier groupe rock canadien à jouer au-delà du Rideau de fer2. Leurs plus grands succès commerciaux compte l’album Worlds Apart (1981), qui atteint des sommets sur le Mainstream Rock Tracks avec le titre On The Loose qui réussit à se classer en 3e position, puis avec l’album Heads or Tales (1983) dont la chanson The Flyer atteint la 19e position du Maintream Rock Tracks3, deux albums produits par Rupert Hine.

Saga: Spin It Again! - Live In Munich
Spin It Again - Live in Munich, captures the final night of the 2012 successful sold-out tour by the Canadian band in Germany. Saga’s historical singer Michael Sadler surprised everybody joining the band back just a few days before the recording took place. The magic was all of a sudden back. Saga charted in the German top 10 and the band sold out nearly 20 concerts in Germany and brought its music in cities and countries where they had never been before. 2012 and 2013 have been very intense years for Saga. The joy of the original band together again, the warmth of the audience, the critical acclaim had to live together with hard moments on the road and private tragedies... Spin it Again, recorded and filmed in Munich, historically a second home for the Canadian prog rockers, features recent songs and all the Saga classics. Two hours of prog and melodic hard rock at its best.
Saga - Contact: Live in Munich
Recorded and filmed during the 30th anniversary tour of the Canadian rock flagship Saga, Contact: Live In Munich is also a document of the end of an era. Singer and co-founder Michael Sadler left the band after the tour to reserve and spend more time with his family and new born son. Another reason why the sold out show in Munich turned into an emotional musical highlight for both the band and the audience.
