Post Description

Saga has been a steady presence in my music world since the early 1980s, and I have had the opportunity to see them live on numerous occasions and they never failed to impress live on stage. So a live album should be the right thing for me now, right?

To be honest – this is live release number EIGHT, and do we really need a new live album now…? “Spin It Again – Live in Munich” is only three years old, and they have only released one album in-between (which btw. included a live album on the limited edition). Saga is a force on stage and the quality of the songs is as always at a very high level. But I do question the need for another live album now…

If you look at the release isolated then it’s as expected; a very tight band delivering the goods live on stage, an audience loving each and every moment – solid! The classic songs everyone want to hear are there and the sound quality is good.

If I had to choose, I would probably put one of the other seven live albums on; “In Transit” or “The Chapters Live” most likely, and even as a hardcore fan I might not rush out to purchase this album.

It is what it says: Saga live!
