May 13 2013 – On Saturday May 25 2013 there is only one concert that matters in Toronto: hometown boys SAGA tearing up the Sound Academy. Tickets are available here. Riding the incredible success of their latest album 20/20 which we reviewed here, SAGA will have all cylinders firing and pleasing both faithful and new fans alike. We love 20/20 so much that we had it on our Top 10 Albums of 2012 list.
Clearly one of our “must see gigs of 2013” this show is not to be missed. Here is what we wrote in that article;
One of Toronto’s best bands and easily in our top 3 with Rush and Triumph is back on home turf. Saga is on fire with their latest CD entitled 20/20 which we reviewed here and placed in our Top 10 Albums of 2012. Even if you are not familiar with their new stuff you WILL be singing along to Canadian rock staples On The Loose, The Flyer and Wind Him Up, as well as the epic Scratching The Surface. Still a major draw in Europe, the 5 prog rockers should be selling out the Molson Amphitheater in their home base if things were right in this world (Ed Note: cause I say so). Fans will flock to The Sound Academy and as we always see at Saga’s shows they will be singing along to every note at the top of their lungs. This concert is not to be missed and in fact ranks way above the other concert below on the same date. One will cost you $20 to get up against the stage and the other will cost you $2000. Easy decision right?
Hopefully you get the point and will not miss that show. Tickets are available here. The opener for the night is Mystery and if you have not heard of them you are in for a treat. The Quebec based prog rockers feature Benoit David who was until recently the vocalist of YES!
