About
In Transit is a live album by Canadian symphonic rock band Saga. The album was recorded in Copenhagen and Munich in 1982. “In Transit” went platinum in Canada and gold in Germany. In Transit is one of this Canadian band’s best album, which is not often said about a live release. Saga’s progressive edge is toned down by Michael Sadler’s serious vocal style, which is both highly energetic and pleasantly soft. Like Marillion, their songs involve short keyboard stints followed by gracious electric guitar work, with intricate themes being unraveled in the lyrics all the while. This album radiates with the band’s electrifying fervor, and by not being too progressive or pretentiou, each song ends up being immensely entertaining. “Humble Stance,” with the precision of Ian Crichton’s guitar playing, is stunning, as is the drumming on “Wind Him Up.” The synthesizer is used wisely on “How Long,” faintly shimmering in and out amongst the clarity of Sadler’s voice. Ending with the spirited bombast of “On the Loose,” the album as a whole has no weak moment, and not a lot of crowd interference either, which can sometimes tarnish a live album. Saga produces a comfortable balance of progressive elements and straight-ahead rock, so that their music can be appreciated by fans of both style. In Transit is solid evidence of thi. - Mike DeGagne, Allmusic - Lineup / Musicians Jim Crichton: Bass guitar, Keyboards Michael Sadler: Lead vocal, Keyboard, Bass Guitar Jim Gilmour: Lead Keyboard, Vocal, Clarinet Ian Crichton: Guitars Steve Negus: Drums and Electronic Percussion .
