Greatest Fucking band ever and this song says it all...Listen to the leads,the thunder of the bass and drums,and Biff's voice is amazing..If you've never seen a SAXON show,your loss !!!
I had the great fortune to meet the boys of Saxon back in the early eighties. They were straight up . Biff , one of the nicest guys.They never looked down on the opening local act. One of the greatest metal bands. Period.
@scorchedearthdj Biff`s voice is absolutely incredible for a 60 years man, there's a lot of singers that have lost their range / high pitched vocals even in their fortys
These guys are serious about their music & songwriting and it shows! Still having what it takes to keep it sounding as it should after all the years of putting it out there, on display, for all to enjoy. This is one of those songs that instantly became an icon of the genre, I mean, when they finished the song's composition, before it was unleashed on the rest of the world. This song is one of my "anytime" favorites, a classic, an epic and besides all that, it ROCKS: to the Power & the Glory
nibbs is totally playing those notes, just listen REAL closely, the bass isn't too loud on this but he's doing it. He really does it on Heavy Metal Thunder album go listen to that and then bitch about him..Nibbs has been with the band for more years than Steve Dawson was..
to the guy who says the bassist sucks are you kidding/?? He plays the bass notes if you had an ear you'd listen to it closely. Check out The album by Saxon Heavy Metal Thunder they re did this song and he clearly does the bass fills that Steve did.. what an idiot for saying that.. come on.
FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE! One big problem though... the BASS PLAYER SUCKS! He completely omitted the lick during the chorus, and only played the root notes of the chords normally played during the verses. Without the groovy riffs at the end of the verses the song feels a lot less "full", and much more mediocre....
saw them on this tour with iron maiden and fastway,blew iron maiden off the stage that night. first time i saw them was when they opened for molly hatchet on their denim and leather tour in 1982.
@Kisauner "Vanessa is back there doing the twiddly things". He's talking about Vanessa Warwick (of MTV's Headbangers Ball fame) who was producer for the video recording of the concert.
@clbaumer I was looking forward to that show, but by the time they made it out east Saxon had dropped from the bill and Coney Hatch were added. Maiden and Fastway were awesome though.
Saxon was my absolute favorite band during my younger life. Saw them SIX times. The best show was called the Bitish invasion with Saxon, Fastway and Iron Maiden around 1984, 1985 at the Oakland Colosium Arena. Whatta freekin show!!
Excellent piece of work!! Thank you very much for Sharing!!!!!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!!! Keep up the good work. Have A Splendid Day!!!!

YouTube has my subscription all screwed up I am sorry until they get my Channel fixed I am unable to subscribe to you.
@totalsanctuary its from 2001 from the dvd; Saxon chronicles, the song was originally recorded for the album power ant the glory in atlanta,georgia october 1982 released in 1983.
A fucking breath of fresh air to know that some of the ORIGINAL Heavy metal acts are still around to do it the RIGHT way. And kudos to the newer generations discovering these bands. I mean you got 14 year olds walking around in Saxon/Iron Maiden/Judas Priest/Motorhead shirts and you talk to them and they start shouting off all these classic bands and you know that the torch of REAL metal is still burning bright and will be passed onward for quite sometime. Trends die, but real metal is timeless
They rock Wacken every year so much that people demand they return. They're probably the best performance of the whole event, and thats crazy cause by rights, these guys should be retired. I mean seriously, how many groups do you know who have gone as long as these blokes but still rock hard? Not many that's for sure.
fuck age these guys rock.. i really like thier solid line up off nibbs , pual, biff...solid solid solid..doug and niglel(well not on this video anyways)..
Right fucking on!
