Saga

Saga is a progressive rock band from Toronto, Canada. Saga plays prog rock with influences from jazz rock, with references to "Gentle Giant" and "Genesis".

Saga was formed in 1977 from the remnant of the band Fludd . The first line-up consisted of vocalist Michael Sadler, bassist Jim Crichton, guitarist Ian Crichton, keyboardist Peter Rochon and drummer Steve Negus.

In June 1978 Saga is released on the Maze label. For the second album, Images At Twilight (1979), Peter Rochon was replaced by session keyboardist Gregg Chadd. From Silent Knight (1980) Jim 'Daryl' Gilmour became the keyboardist. Worlds Apart was released in 1981, which is produced by Rupert Hine, known for "Camel" among others. Each of the first four albums features two songs that together form a concept called The Chapters . These songs are in random order and form a science fiction story created by bassist Jim Crichton. The band also hired Rupert Hine as producer for Heads Or Tales .

In 1986, Steve Negus and Jim 'Daryl' Gilmour decided to leave the band and focus on the "GNP" project, which included vocalist Bev Bevan. As a trio, the band then recorded Wildest Dreams and The Beginners Guide To Throwing Shapes . In 1993 James Gilmour and Steve Negus returned and in this line-up, which is usually considered the most successful, the band started releasing albums more regularly. In 1995, Generation 13 was released, a concept album in the style of "Operation: Mindcrime" by "Queensryche".

On Pleasure and the Pain , which marks the band's twentieth anniversary, the drums were played by Glen Sobel. Phase One featured recordings from 1979 played live by the band in the studio, featuring five previously unreleased tracks and demo versions of Mouse In A Maze , You're Not Alone , and Hot Too Cold . From Full Circle to Marathon, the band picked up the themes of the first records and they complete the story of The Chapters .

On Network , Steve Negus was replaced, this time by Christian Simpson. Steve Negus returned once more for the live record The Chapters , but will not play on Trust . The new drummer is Brian Doerner.

In 2007 Michael Sadler announced his departure from the band. In 2008 he was succeeded by Rob Moratti. It is now 2011 and Michael Sadler is back at Saga .

Saga co-headlined a tour of Europe with "Marillion". In mid-April 2012, it was announced that Mike Thorne is the new drummer. Early July 2012, the new album 20/20 was released, and the "20/20" world tour was announced.

Their most recent double CD is called Sagacity . The first CD was recorded in a studio, while the second CD contains live recordings. This double CD was released in June 2014.

Saga is een progressieve-rockband uit Toronto, Canada. Saga speelt progrock met invloeden uit de jazzrock, met verwijzingen naar "Gentle Giant" en "Genesis".

Saga werd opgericht in 1977 uit het restant van de band Fludd. De eerste bezetting bestond uit zanger Michael Sadler, bassist Jim Crichton, gitarist Ian Crichton, toetsenist Peter Rochon en drummer Steve Negus.

In juni 1978 wordt Saga uitgebracht op het label Maze. Voor het tweede album, Images At Twilight (1979) werd Peter Rochon vervangen door sessie-toetsenist Gregg Chadd. Vanaf Silent Knight (1980) werd Jim 'Daryl' Gilmour de toetsenist. In 1981 verscheen Worlds Apart, dat geproduceerd wordt door Rupert Hine, bekend van onder andere "Camel". Op elk van de eerste vier albums staan twee nummers die samen een concept vormen, The Chapters genoemd. Deze nummers staan in willekeurige volgorde en vormen een door bassist Jim Crichton bedacht sciencefictionverhaal. Ook voor Heads Or Tales huurde de band Rupert Hine in als producer.

In 1986 besloten Steve Negus en Jim 'Daryl' Gilmour de band te verlaten en zich te storten op het project "GNP", met onder meer zanger Bev Bevan. Als trio nam de band daarna de platen Wildest Dreams en The Beginners Guide To Throwing Shapes op. In 1993 keerden James Gilmour en Steve Negus terug en in deze bezetting, die doorgaans als de meest succesvolle wordt beschouwd en ging de band weer regelmatiger albums uitbrengen. In 1995 kwam Generation 13 uit, een conceptalbum in de stijl van "Operation: Mindcrime" van "Queensryche".

Op Pleasure and the Pain, dat in het teken staat van de twintigste verjaardag van de band, werden de drums ingespeeld door Glen Sobel. Phase One bevatte opnamen uit 1979, live door de band gespeeld in de studio, met vijf niet eerder uitgebrachte nummers en demoversies van Mouse In A Maze, You're Not Alone en Hot Too Cold. Vanaf Full Circle tot en met Marathon pakte de band de thematiek van de eerste platen op en maken ze het verhaal van The Chapters af.

Op Network werd Steve Negus vervangen, ditmaal door Christian Simpson. Steve Negus keerde nog eenmaal terug voor de liveplaat The Chapters, maar speelt niet mee op Trust. De nieuwe drummer is Brian Doerner.

In 2007 kondigde Michael Sadler aan de band te verlaten. In 2008 werd hij opgevolgd door Rob Moratti. Inmiddels is het 2011 en is Michael Sadler weer terug bij Saga.

Saga was als co-headliner op tour door Europa met "Marillion". Half april 2012 werd aangekondigd dat Mike Thorne de nieuwe drummer is. Begin juli 2012 is het nieuwe album 20/20 uitgekomen, en is de "20/20"-wereldtour aangekondigd.

Hun meest recente dubbele CD heet Sagacity. De eerste CD is opgenomen in een studio, terwijl de tweede CD live-opnames bevat. Deze dubbel-CD werd uitgebracht in juni 2014.
