Ticket prices these days are absurd. I still have the ticket stub from Judas Priest Sheffield City Hall 1980. I went on the inflation calculator website. In today's money that's £14.30. That wouldn't even buy you a programme at a concert today.
That lead rhythm riff sounds at least a semitone higher that the original? Not bad though. I first saw Saxon on the Motorhead Ace Up Youre Sleeve Tour in 1980.
How tf did I miss this?? Oh well... next time lads. I was living in california in the early 70's and took my beautiful girlfriend to an all British concert in Long Beach. FASTWAY - SAXON- IRON MAIDEN. A few too many shrooms before the show no doubt... but a superb show..... and Saxon blew the doors off!! Never heard of them before that day....but they put Maiden to shame.

Saxon were incredible...... Priest and Heep were too! Goes to show, that people can rock at any age

I think my very first gig was Saxon in 1980 at the start of NWOBHM 🇬🇧👍
@@liveloud9894 My first gig was MSG 1980 at Sheffield City Hall, followed by UFO, AC/DC and Judas Priest.
I'm not a msssive Saxon fan.
l'm from Leeds.
Seen all the bands,at Queens Hall,the Uni,etc,etc
But l've seen more fan motivation at a panto.

Come on mate, most are well into their 50s these days. We act a bit differently now.
Act boring😂
@@jonathanglanville5265 We just don't act like kids anymore.
Guitar solo fail - you are on thin ice ignoring the original solo in this song. Biff sounds great though.
im not trying to be a miserable fu//er and slagging anyone off ,but not impressed with that solo
