SAGA 1981 "Time's Up" (5) www.sagaplanet.de

[kinmanyuen]

amazing track for 1981, couple of years ahead of its time

[stropsstrops]

Wait a litle bit of time, later very much of people see the premium quality, I'm sure.

[CtiberiousFord]

Remember the date: 1981 - they played every frikin' note live, on stage, NOW - no MIDI, no BS: the STUDIO sound was the STAGE sound: very few bands can make a similar claim. Don't believe me, ask a musician; but ask a fuckin' great one, so u know how high the pinnacle was that they achieved.

[eeeeeeee99eeeeeeee]

Was just listening to this track and the production values are insane. It sounds like a track that was recorded this morning.

The live performance is insane.

[dasglaubichjetztnich]

thank you soo much for this..... too much old remembers... a very happy german girl say´s: thanx a lot!!

[JeremyNasmith]

What an absolutely awesome concert. Such high level of musicianship. And really pushing the envelope. Saga needs to reband and do another tour!

[INDLIS]

This is the first song I remember the most.

[Sadlerfan100]

Hallo ihr lieben Hip-Hop, Rap und Tecno Fans !!! Hört Euch Saga an, dann wisst Ihr, was Musik ist und ,dass Ihr umsonst gelebt habt !!!!!!!!!!!

[desastermaster2010]

das ist wirklich GUTE musik!bin fan seit 1000 jahren....

[falki66]

genialer sound!

[capsandiego]

verflixt und auch noch ein bisschen zugenäht: Nietzsche gesungen im Taschenbuchformat, "it's a mayday.. time's up!" Und dann das Freizeichen am Telefon... kennen wir das nicht alle, irgendwann, irgendwoher, so schmerzend, stechend, wahr... "I am sure, my day will come...."

[jenshansen1966]

Schnauzer hin, Schnauzer her...das war, ist und bleibt immer noch

sehr, sehr gut

[Snakeafs]

hühnerpelle

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

One of my all time favorite tunes from this era. Such inventiveness.

[Sadlerfan100]

Ich danke Gott dafür, dass ich diese geniale Musik als damals 20-jähriger miterleben durfte---Saga forever

[dasglaubichjetztnich]

@Sadlerfan100

ging mir ähnlich, nur war ich noch jünger, hatte das unfassliche glück, dass diese geniale band bei einer ihrer tourneen ausgerechnet eine kleine stadt im tiefsten thüringen mit einem sagenhaften konzert beglückte... ich kleines mädel kannte paar lieder noch von tonbandaufnahmen vom großen bruder...und hab geheult vor glück damals in den 80ern... die sehen und erleben zu dürfen

[CadenceMusicStudio]

Love these guys!!!

[tubellarbells]

Amazingly similar to wonderful studio version. Music doesn't always reach this quality today within the pop scene, or does it?

[benlorenc]

@tubellarbells no, it doesn't.

[MyCaptainamerica]

SAGA LOVES PUERTO RICO.....

[Sadlerfan100]

Ich hoffe, dass Saga dieses ekelhafte Affentheater mit Michael und seinem bodenlosen Nachfolger nicht nur veranstaltet hat, um in 2 Jahren eine Reunion und volle Konzertsäle anzustreben ! Ich habe Saga neben der musikalischen Klasse besonders wegen ihres Charakters über alles geschätzt !!!

[AndreNC33]

After some 35 years of playing, writing, concert going and acting as a music reviewer, I can still say that the SAGA concert I experienced in the 80's was the tightest and best performed I have ever seen. Poor Billy Squire (who I do like) had a tought act to follow, as SAGA opened for them that night. Shame on whoever pissed off the band badly enough for them to decide not to return to the States. Wish they would do a reunion tour here....

[GhostriderDuck]

Saga war ne gute Band ! Heute sagt man R.I.P.

[MrSunnyfriday]

@GhostriderDuck , yes, the good guys die young...but we got years of splendid music from these guys

[Sagafan81]

The first simmons drummer"Steve Negus"........Geniaal nummer......als zoveel nummers.....Thats the Saga......

[pfdtx]

I still wish they would have included Ian's solo on the World's Apart album. It's perfection.

[Sadlerfan100]

Michael Sadler verschwendet seine Zeit mit Auftritten mit schwachen Bands, während SAGA seine Zeit mit Rob Moratti verbringt, einem Sänger , der nicht einmal durchschnittlich begabt ist !!! --- Was soll dieser unglaubliche Unsinn !!!! Glaubt Ihr, dass Ihr ewig lebt und die Fans ewig parat sind ??? Nicht mehr lange !!!!

[MrSunnyfriday]

@Sadlerfan100 , nun die fans werden älter..und die junge generation hat die nase voll von dieser abfall-musik die sie heute bekommt, auch die besinnen sich auf die jungs aus den 70+80+90 jahren

[tubellarbells]

very close to studio version. Hope band releases this on dvd one day.

Great music SAGA !

[TacXboxFlash]

OMFG SAGA! Worlds Apart, one of the greatest prog rock albums of all time. Fo SHO!

[pfdtx]

Definitely makes my top 5 albums. So many great songs!

[MrSunnyfriday]

@TacXboxFlash , true words buddy..hell.....pity they do small arenas lile the one in bad aibling-bavaria-germany 10 days ago

[Ecotec2]

Great. Geil! Super! Sagas best Song!!!

[nicedrummer5]

yes that´s one of the best bands of the world!

[acent2112]

SOME OF US GET IT SOME OF WONT-THEN & NOW-

SAGA * Very important & personal to me.

I can't deny the value of their music to my own maturity through the 80's. I was young & it hit me hard, SAGA/MARILLION/Thinking Feeling Being MUSIC like this is.

Thanks for your posting this GEM

[smclean150]

These guys were way ahead of their time and great musicians...Michael Sadler is incredible. Any 'gay' comments I've read are idiotic and I understand the XBox is fun too kiddies.

[rog197236]

I have to agree with you on the show and the electronic drum kit.Looks like it was a killer show and the introduction of the Simmons kit added a new element of perection to thier music.Still to this day no other manufacturer can make a electronic drum kit like Simmons did the 80's i sure do miss that decade.You say this show is from 1980?

[gwdone]

So freaking good it's unreal.  Not another band that sounds like them, ever.

[n8tureboy]

@gwdone

Surreal, aren't they? I remember seeing them about this time with Headpins and Q. Riot.

Saga Ruled!

[jason75]

@n8tureboy Let me guess your canadian to hello fellow canadian from Vancouver u???

[n8tureboy]

@jason75

Hey Jason! No, I'm not, actually. I'm American, but I love your fine Canadian bands like Saga, Triumph, Loverboy, Rush, Headpins, etc.

My fave are Saga! I saw them play in Roanoke, Virginia, way back in 1982. They Ruled!

I've been a big fan ever since then.

[edwinsansebastian]

CAT WALK NICE SON FROM SAGA

[irvnz]

too bad some confuse sexuality with art .. and their pride and prejudice overwhelm their good sense and sensibility

Just shut up and listen.. or go away

[PASJONAT51]

I Love that track!!

[pigbenis667]

this may be the gayest thing ever

thats not a criticism its just an observation

[pedrosura]

speaking of gay, they have Brittney Spears video available on youtube if you are not into bands with real musicians... not criticism, just an observation.

[fwin0904]

Ha Ha HA.Right on man

[allsopman]

don't be silly!

[wakaw07]

@pigbenis667 actually it's your name that's a little fruity...not Saga!

[aajoeyjo]

I like how it's uploaded loud! Thank you! That's how rock and roll should be.

[artillery666]

just discovered this band, they fucking rule!

[marthadaviss]

esta cancion es muy escasa al fin la encontre....solo la tengo en un caset vijisimo

[AlienGreyZoneX]

Union of USA/Canada/Mexico/SA. Sweet, ehe? All one big country. Bee baa nutz

[Slamgurka]

I totaly missed that Saga was a gay-band. However... I love there music.

[PumpkinPuffer]

Canada sucks now with their jew ADL hate crime ,anti free speech laws.

[Fairlight60]

Luckily for Canada, you don't live there and nobody cares about your retarded opinions.

[PumpkinPuffer]

Sorry for Canada that you're an absolute idiot to think that hate crime, thought crime laws are a great thing.ADL and other jewish groups promote free speech suppression. Look at how the USA is controlled by AIPAC and other lobby groups. enjoy the upcoming North American Union.

[GBP05]

First heard Saga on an excellent show on Radio Drei Stuttgart. Soon thereafter went downtown and purchased every Saga album in stock. Vastly underrated band.

[mitchcoker]

One the first bands on MTV in 1981. I remember it well. "Worlds Apart" tape was played alot in my deck.

[claufrau]

The first time I heard from this band was from Marco Hartung in Germany. We both were also big Marillion fans. He introduced me to all the Prog Rock groups back in the 80's. I will never forget him.

[ArlowCain]

I befriended a German man by the name of Jurgen Radle that turned me onto this band. (this album had at least 2 different covers: (1)an old norse looking map and (2)the reflection of said map in a pair of nirroered sunglasses worn by a powder white-facesd chic.Great Friend! Great band!

[carspecial]

Saga its a musicgroup progressive more important in 80`s age wereas Rush also complete all styles includes the synfhonic rock,Saga reach sites all time,never rock group`ll has the same level,but Saga in your songs are futuristics as Don`t be late.

[joecortina]

I dedicate this song to my ex-girlfriend, Tina. The last time I saw her was in November 2001. We had an arguement. A month later,it was rumored that she shot herself.

[poopie1e]

i am so sorry for you....

[joecortina]

I was 15 when this happened. She was 14. Anyway I may have found someone else.

[ackerlaw2004]

Wow...I haven't listened to this band in a looooong time. Very happy memories associated with this great music. Thank you for the upload and taking me back.

[wurzseppl]

A great underrated song.

[poopie1e]

waanzinnig!!!  SAGA for ever..

[pippomadrid]

sooo great, I've been looking for this song for years to hear it back again... thank you!!

[robpeart]

Saga,echt een superband uit de jaren 80.Jammer dat de latere albums minder waren.

[melodicanarchy]

Having known these guys personally all my life, I can agree with you on that. They love to play. Sure, it's how they make a living...but the main thing is the music.

[jbbreau]

did you notice how the drummer just seems happy to be playing music a the beginning that's how music should be played... for pleasure not money

[ChrisJonesDrummer]

Great band and drummer but god I hate those old Simmons electronic drums.

[praydotell]

True - but funny to see them. It would be missing something if they weren't there.

Still, there is as well the moog - wouldn't miss that one either!

[jokeypo1963]

very good thank you.

[tadelloeser]

great - thanks for uploading!

[Davai007]

they're great live

[HolySpectre]

I agree!

Hardly any other band had such a perfect sound live!

[hollowmenrule]

great song, great album.
