Montreal Show
Just back from Montreal. Great, high energy show. Biggest impression of the show -- other than the ususal professionalism -- the energy and enthusiasm. Jimmy doing back kicks, moving all around the stage; Rob taking command of the stage and really connecting with the audience; and Ian being Ian as only Ian can be. And of course the magnificant Jim Gilmour and crazy man Brian Doerner adding delightfully to the mix.
Biggest surprise of the show -- after following these guys since the late 70's, this was the 1st concert that I had been to where NO tunes from the 1st album were played. That really only hit me after the show. That said, the set list was excellent, and demonstres the forward-looking nature and rock-soild potential of the band (see below).
The audience packed the venue and sang along to many of the tunes. The acoustics were superb. All around it was another great Saga night.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

And no 'Humble Stance'
I was shure never'll be a concert without this........
Maybe they really will chance a little bit
Strange but not bad.....

Oh Sweet, Sweet hot tub. What a trip! Somebody better post some pics cause there was tons of flashes going off.
BTW best show I have seen to date. How does it just keep getting better and better.
Good review at the start of this thread to which I can add nothing to improve what was said. Other than WOW!
November is comming and it's not a 3 day investment for me.

I agree with shett of glass, they were fantastic. I was at the show also and they were packed to the extreme! But I agree with Saga-Norway, I can't believe that they didn't play You're Not Alone. I couldn't wait to see that song. Otherwise it was a great show, and hopefully, probably, they'll be invited back.
Saga kicks ass!!!

Not thrilled with the setlist. Too much new stuff......I don't just mean Human Condition stuff. I was hoping when Rob came on board they would venture a little more into the catalog. Saga has so much great stuff.....enough On the Air, Trust, You Were Right, Book of Lies, etc.

I see by the original post, Book of Lies, Trust and On the Air were in the setlist.
I think most bands will usually play 3-4 songs from their new album and by the look of the setlist Saga seems to be doing that as well.
Since Saga has a new singer we have to remember some songs will be more suited to Rob's voice than other's, so it's a delicate balance between their comfort zone and pleasing the audience.
Hey Harmonia, I think the Magic Bag theater would be a great place for Saga to perform at, what say you?

the magic bag
I am not a expert in where Saga plays mouse, but I did take a moment to google it. Since I have never heard of it . But reading up on it , it seems to be a small venue 300 if I remember from what it said on the Home Page. Not being in Detroit I have never been there.
It would be a intimate setting to see Saga
In my humble opinion.
