5.0 out of 5 stars THE best live album EVER!!! 10 Stars!!!!, February 7, 2003

By	ThrEaD NUGENT (Newport Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews

In Transit is a must for any fan of rock/prog. Saga being one of the most obnoxiously underrated bands of all time really nail it on this release. The live versions of these songs are so great that knowledge of the studio versions is not necessary-THAT is a sign of a great live record. The only problem is that it's too short!!! Highlights include Careful Where You Step, UNBELIEVABLE drumming!!! How Long, brilliant, On the Loose, loose and fun, great ending, finally A Brief Case which is Steve Negus and Michael Sadler playing drums, the latter on a brief case that contains electronic drums, I belive!!! The whole thing pumps!!!! Check it out, you won't lose!! I can't seem to get it out of my car either!!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a saga, October 16, 2003

By	Guylaine Le Ber (St-Hubert, Qc) - See all my reviews

My favorite songs from Saga are on this album. I like their honey-comb shape electric drum which makes a fun vibrating sound, check song "A brief case" a drum solo that has that electric drum and a regular drum. I like when their guitar is marching like an army as in "Humble stance". But the most interesting feature is their synthesizer. They do have nice stories. My favorite song "Don't be late" is dedicated and sang by myself to my boyfriend because he is always late.

An album that can only make you happy

5.0 out of 5 stars Having Fun..., April 11, 2006

By	Jeffrey G. Stevenson "Drummer J" (F.W.B.,FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The band is obviously having a good time and I am having a great time discovering the music of Saga! In fact, I haven't enjoyed exploring older "essential" stuff since I got hooked on old Genesis and Mahavishnu Orchestra 15+ years ago. Now am I comparing above said bands...no, that may get me in deep water with other reviewers here, but Saga is a very interesting and musical group that is worthy to be remembered as a band that added their unique sound to an already rich musical genre we call progressive. Anyway, this live album really "kicks" and has a fairly comprehensive set list of their earliest material (first 4 albums) that is a great place for newcomers to the band to get a taste. Oh, and don't let the running time of this disc stop you from getting it...it's well worth the $10 or $11 that Amazon is asking! ENJOY! Jeff
