My older sister had seen these guys years before and had said that it was an amazing fun show. So when I saw that Saga was going to be playing nearby I decided to check them out. I was not disappointed to say the least. I love progressive rock and I am surprised I had not listened to them before.
Their crashing guitar and melodic keyboards really lit up the night. Ian Crichton might be one of my new favorite guitarists, his solos were amazing that night. The lead vocalist, Michael Sadler, really knows how to capture the audience's attention. Everyone in the crowd was hanging on his every word the entire night. Their music was very easy to dance and move to, which created a very fun atmosphere for people down by the stage.
They were playing in a pretty big arena, but still the sound was great. They had a very interesting and cosmic light show that constantly shifted and changed to the delight of the audience. They ended the night with another great song that allowed Crichton to showcase his amazing guitar playing skills yet again.
All in all it was a fantastic night full of dancing and great music. I am definitely thanking my sister for suggesting them to me.
