5.0 out of 5 stars Saga's First Ever DVD Release!!, June 28, 2003

This review is from: Saga - Silhouette (DVD)

Although Saga has been around for 25 years, I am a brand new fan to the band and their music. The music I have heard has been extremely impressive. In fact, I was already familiar with a few of their songs without realizing it was Saga. After picking up Saga's DVD "Silhouette", I am definitely going to explore this band's music even further.
"Silhouette" is jam-packed with old music videos, vintage concert footage and in-depth interviews which chronicle the band's history. Some of the music videos are really dated (ie: early MTV) but are great to watch nonetheless. The live concert footage from the early-mid '80s is very impressive and shows the band in full swing. Singer Michael Sadler is a dynamic frontman for Saga with a stage presence that reminded me of Queen's Freddie Mercury. Guitarist Ian Crichton is one of prog-rock's best kept secrets and his brother Jim is a dynamic keyboardist and bassist. Keyboardist Jim Gilmour displays extraordinary talent with classical chops that are part Keith Emerson, part Rick Wakeman and part Geoff Downes. Drummer Steve Negus displays great virtuousity on both his regular kit and an electronic one. His playing reminded me a bit of Phil Collins, probably because Negus is a left-handed drummer who plays his kit in reverse like Collins.
The interview footage provides a complete comprehensive look at the history of Saga told from the band members themselves. Each of the five members gets equal time to share his memories about Saga's past. Also, the band discusses their musical gear and why they use what they use. Jim Crichton also discusses his impressive recording studio which is located in Van Nueys, California. It was an amazing discovery to find out that Jim is very much in demand as a producer/engineer besides being the bass player and one of the keyboardists for Saga. Very Impressive.
This DVD definitely will introduce you to a band that has been a best kept secret over the last 25 years. I have only been listening to Saga for just a few months but they are already fast becoming one of my favorite bands. The musicianship in this band is phenominal and their stage shows are outstanding. This DVD will give you everything you need if you're just beginning to discover the band - music videos, concert footage and an in-depth interview history. Check It Out. It's worth it.
