 The 1994 followup, "Steel Umbrellas", was considered uneven when compared to their previous release, perhaps due to the material originally being produced for the short-lived television series "Cobra".However, despite lackluster album sales, Saga's 1993 and 1994 tours helped maintain some of the band's early popularity; their reputation as live performers was not lost among the band's long time fans.In 1995, Jim Crichton composed and produced the majority of Saga's next album, the conceptual "Generation 13".
