    If you've got any interest in exploring Saxon, this early live record is filled with high energy, hard rocking performances that definitely don't disappoint. It really gives you a great sense of the power this band had in their earliest days.

      I first started going to see Saxon on their '83 US tour, so this record has great sentimental value as it's very close to the concerts I saw. All the things you want to hear well performed, decent recording by The Mobile. The guitar tones on "Princess of the Night", "20,000", and "Never Surrender" sound BETTER than their studio counterparts. Love Biff's stage patter too. Always a rockin' show.

      Can you blame me for wanting to hear "The Eagle Has Landed", which was always a highlight of a Saxon show. However, that song does not appear until "Power and the Glory". What a tease.

      Pressing is decent enough. 3.25 stars.
