Notes:
Aardvark's Aarchives presents Saga live on their Heads Or Tails tour, recorded at the old Montreal Forum on February 26, 1984. Setlist is pretty cool and Saga are obviously having fun playing live on the radio. If memory serves this show was televised on CITY TV in Toronto and simulcast on either CHUM FM or Q107 FM in Toronto. This performance includes the lions share of their classic live disc In Transit, release two years earlier.

I received this show from a German trader. It was originally broadcast on Dutch radio back in 1984, and the overall quality of the audio is excellent. However, I did fix a couple of things I wasn't entirely happy with :

1. I removed the boring DJ intro.
2. I removed a radio station jingle that was mixed over the end of 'Intermission' and the beginning of 'How long?'. I patched the resulting break.
3. The last track on the original disc was 'Ice nice', but on the tape I have from this same show it came after 'Careful where you step'. I put it back there and matched the EQ with the rest of the recording, as it originally sounded like it came from a different source tape.
4. I retracked the entire disc.

The original audio was extracted using EAC.
Digital editing was done using Sound Forge 7.0 and FreeFilter 1.1
Wav to SHN conversion was done using SHNtool.

Description:
A Great live show from one of the lesser known Pomp Prog bands "Saga" at their peek! Although their music was more mainstream and radio friendly, they were excellent musicians & had all the overtones of prog rock! 

This "In Concert" film is from the 1983 "Head Or Tails" World Tour, Unfortunately it`s not the complete show. Filmed during one of the two dates played in W. Germany. For those of you old enough to remember, The Berlin Wall was still up at that time!
