- A video for 747 STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT (LIVE). The audio track was recorded at Helsinki in 2015 and features Phil Campbell on guitar.
Taken from "The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live)" album which is set for release on August 2nd, 2019. The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) comes also as a 747 Signature Edition Boxset - limited to 747 copies. For more details visit: www.saxon747live.com
On August 2nd, Saxon, the British Heavy Metal vanguards who continue to deliver their seminal metal music to sold-out venues worldwide, will salute their 40th Anniversary by releasing The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) on Militia Guard/Silver Lining Music, a cracking, crunching and wholly representative celebration of four decades as one of the UK’s leading heavy metal lights. Entire musical genres have been born and died since Saxon released their self-titled debut in 1979, and through all the eras and all the trends, Saxon have continued to both entertain fans everywhere and prosper with albums and tours saturated in the band’s consistent trademark sound and quality. The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) celebrates all the classics from their early years with the modern classics which have continued to define Saxon as legends.
Forty songs covering four decades, from “State Of Grace” to “Machine Gun”, from the blistering “20,000 FT” to the thunderous “Battering Ram”, Saxon bring you on a victorious, boisterous journey through the human waves at Wacken, the stalwart supporters in Berlin, the mad dogs and Englishmen in London and other illustrious international cities via a selection of songs chosen by none other than Biff Byford himself. There are also tributes to their old friends and former colleagues Motörhead, with the supercharged “They Played Rock and Roll” and a cover of “Ace of Spades” featuring an appearance from the dearly departed ‘Fast’ Eddie Clarke. And to round off the MotörSaxon magic, there’s a roaring version of the classic “747 (Strangers in the Night)” featuring Phil Campbell from Helsinki in 2015.
The final result is not simply a triple album of great music, but a stirring and gloriously LOUD odyssey through golden years of metal history guaranteed to bring the headbanger out of even the mellowest rocker in the room.
Saxon supporters can enjoy The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) in various formats: a triple CD combo packed in a 6 panel digipack with a 16 pg booklet, Digital Download and Streaming.
The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) will also be available as a 12” lid-off Boxset, containing 5 x 12” 180 gms vinyl, The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) Tour Pass and Slipmat and an exclusive 40 page book. The pièce de résistance however is the 747 Signature Edition Boxset - limited to 747 copies - which also includes an exclusive 23 plectrum set featuring album artwork from all 22 Saxon’s studio albums and a limited edition The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) plectrum. The 747 Signature Edition Boxset also comes with Biff Byford's original hard-written lyric sheet of the "747 (Strangers In The Night)" song, with each print being hand-numbered and autographed by the man himself.

Biff never ever lost the voice..unlike a lot of vocalists from back then...his kinda got deeper and with no loss of power.👍
If needed just change the key, nothing wrong with that. Sinatra did it.
TOM ARAYA SCREAMED HIMSELF HORSE!
Biff still got it. Impressive
Until he tried to front motorhead ! Dog shite
And you can understand the words, instead of a slur like Vince Neil
70 years of age and I’m still rocking to Saxon 🇬🇧💕 Keep safe x
brilliant my friend , not just me then
68 here.
@@danbegay3646 65 here.
so you were a little kid about 5 when you started listening to Saxon. Good for you bro.
I started at 16, now I'm 32 and will continue until I'm 70 and beyond!
Brings back so many memories of being 14 and listening to this on my Walkman in my bedroom in the 80’s.
I was doing this with my Walkman disc player in the 90's 🤣
😂🤘🤘
true british chivalry that is what saxon represents. the old ways. crusaders, kingdoms.
A great hymn from a legendary band !! Greetings from Greece, cheers to all of you metal brothers and sisters !
🇬🇷💙
@@katerina9527 Γεια σου Κατερίνα 🍻🤘
Greetings to you to you too!
@@be2223 cheers mate 🤘🍻
Γεια σου φίλε !!!
Saw them live at Castle Donnington in 1980. They were young boys then, and so was I!!
That would have been AWESOME!!!!
Yeah, me too, sweet 16 and indestructible 😎😄
Forgotten about this band until seeing them on sky arts recently.this footage rocks.Steven Boswell.edinburgh
Ух ты! Счастливый человек ❤🔥🏫
Anytime I hear Saxon I immediately think of London 2005. I was 22, visiting the country for the first time on vacation. My last day there, I was standing outside of a shop on Queensway, wearing an Iron Maiden Killers hoodie and this middle aged bald fella walked past me wearing a Saxon Wheels of Steel Hoodie. We looked at each other and grinned and he walked up to me and said in a very thick Cockney accent " It's great to see young people with good tastes!" And I laughed and said in my hickass accent " Hell yeah buddy!" And we shook hands lol
Biff is authentic Rock REAL DEAL.
The first record I ever bought! The start of my heavy metal addiction!
First band of my first show. 1980?
Good start
Welcome to the club.
Yes, addiction is the word.
The first band I ever saw live..... Leeds Queens Hall, 1983 🤘
It's a proper song. One of the top 10 heavy rock riffs ever, if you ask me.
:)
YES !
Love it
Your right it’s a proper song.🤟
One of the best metal songs ever 🤘
And the bands played on 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Phenomenal tune and live performance! 😎🤘🏻🎸
In Lund, southern Sweden 1982, Iwatched Saxon for the first time. The had performed in Stockholm the day before and the concert was delayed 2 hours due to slippery roads farther north. Several thousand fans shouted "we wan't Saxon, we want Saxon", and as the doors finally opened, the ticket guards had not a chanse. And what a concert it was. Biff: "Anyone here who likes Human League ?" -crowd reply "NOOOOOOO !" He then wondered "Are there any Barry Manilow fans here today ?" - With the same reply, naturally. And then - "Are there any SAXON fans here today ?" - YEEEAAAAH !
Biff really spellbound the Lund crowd some day in November 1982.
Biff said that at Sheffield City Hall too.. lol.
Saxon.
One of the greatest NWOBHM ever!!!
@@EneSacarification New Wave of British Heavy Metal
Domenic Vitanza absolutely and one of metal most consistent classic metal bands!!!!!
おおきにぃ❤
Probably the first hard rock song I ever heard. Rock will never die. Awesome
Always powerful so many years later ; the voice is still there.
I lost count how many times I saw Saxon in the 70’s😩 The Barnsley barnstormers - or something like that. They were the band always supporting some other band and never received the recognition they rightly deserved…🤔 watching this video, the musicianship and Biffs vocals are absolutely outstanding. Excellence 🫡🫡
I wish I could have experienced this kind of amazement
Saxon, best live band ever. 👍
Got tickets for Düsseldorf and London. 😎🙋♀️
ありがたう😂❤
henlo ?
Esta canção é tão clássica e por obra do acaso , uma das primeiras que escutei. Até hoje minha favorita. Já completei 60 anos e ainda vibro com esse riff épico e vocais absolutamente poderosos!
Meu primeiro contato com o Saxon foi no power and the glory, acho que em 85, depois disso sou fã de carteirinha, tenho todos os vinis deles e já fui há alguns shows, pena que em 15/11/2023 não pude ir. Show ao vivo deles mesmo estando na casa dos 60 anos, é algo fenomenal.
I always loved this song and this band. Nigel Glockler is great on drums.
drums are fucking amazing dude!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jorgeroman258 I know I did a cover of this on drums.
My dad brought me here, my son will be along soon 🤘🏻🙌🏻
Hail to Saxon from Greece !Never gets old ! \m/
Hail to Saxon from Brazil!
Had the pleasure of playing this with Quinny, Graham Oliver and Nibs at Barnsley Cricket Club rock night way back in the early 90s, the guys from Saxon were guesting with my band Madhouse. Quinny played with us for about 6 months around London while Saxon were on a break from touring and the gig in front of his home crowd marked him going back out on the road and leaving us. Happy days!!!
I just love this band. Finally got to see them live a couple months ago, wonderful night!
I remember my 1st time (sound like a virgin, don't I???LOL!).It was a little bar in Detroit called Blondies in 2011. It was AWESOME but sad at the same time. There were less than 100 people, maybe even only 50-75, but it WAS a Sunday night. We were only 10ft away from the stage and not even crowded! The sad part was knowing that these guys headline festivals all over Europe with 25-50,000 people so to for the band to see this small of a crowd must have been disappointing. But the boys still put on a great show!
His voice is incredible as his aura ... saw them live many time... one of the best singer ever, BIFF *****
brutal saxon from yorkshire.
In the 80s, I grew up with their music 🎸
I saw your show (my first show!) in 1983 at Pisa - Italy.
A greeting to Biff!
Biff Byford è una forza della natura.
Che voce! E che personaggio!
Un mito 🤟
One of the best metalsongs ever!
Absolutely iconic riff.
Saw them 3 times the last 3 years. My boys always deliver !
Finally got to see them in 2011 after 2 failed attempts and have seen them every tour since, except 2015 for the 3rd failed attempt when my girlfriend crashed her motorcycle the day b4 I was to travel from near Toronto to Detroit to see them and Armored Saint and a tour up to the U.P. Didn't think it would be right to leave her to take off on my bike for a 5 day roadtrip when she ended up staying 2.5 months. Saw them 5 times in the last 9 years and they never fail to deliver!
Brill classic....Memories 1980's gigs. ...Thanks guy;s.........Cheers Tony
Never tire of hearing this track🤘🏻
Still sounding great!
Just discovered this. What an absolutely epic video. I'm 48, and it encapsulates everything and every emotion I felt when hearing this song as a teenager in the 80's. Absolutely magic. Thanks to all involved 👍
年明けのJALの事故のニュースで、この歌を思い出しました。全員無事で本当に良かった。いい曲ですね❤
I was reading alot about the Haneda accident on aviation message boards... yes everybody were discussing the role of the lights, ground lights were OK but it is still not known if the small coast guard plane had his wing lights on before gettin' smashed by the landing Airbus
love them 4-ever, always so good!
what a riff...., this guitars..., the drumming here from nigel is really in a state of art....
Biff's what 65 in this video and his vocals are still better than the vinyl.. Love it..
Pode não ter o alcance do Maiden, nem a imagem popular no imaginário social como o de bandas como Motorhead e Ac/Dc, mas o que mais eu gosto no Saxon é a autenticidade, a integridade, o talento e a dedicação de cada um da banda. Um legado de 40 anos sem máculas, cada vez mais forte e isso com "senhores" de mais de 60 anos! Lendas, para mim uma das 10 melhores bandas de heavy, hard, rock de todos os tempos!!
diria o mesmo... sempre que eu to conversando com aminha galera do metal eu pergunto.. .cara, vcs já ouviram a obra do saxon... po eu escuto a vida toda, nunca estiveram no main stream metal mas fazem um puta trabalho. Guitarras com peso, uma bateria incrivel e temas fortes. Gosto muito e não é banda pra escutar escondido como manowar hahaha.
Excellent work from the Yorkshire metal men & Nigel is an excellent drummer...Loved these guy's from Sheffield since early 80s!!!
Long Live Saxon!!!✌🤘💙
They’re actually from Barnsley not Sheffield👍😉
@@stevenobrien3763 True, but Pete Gill was from Sheffield😉👍
The mighty Saxon 🤘🏻
Still great forty years on!
What a amazing band to see live. Got to see them in Cardiff a few years ago and they just ruled the night
^great band after all these yeeeeeeeeeears
great, band
Played this over and over know every line word for word .luv it.
Love this guy! True metal!!
This was propably saxon & motörhead last gig together ever, girlschool was also on the bill. 3rd last motörhead gig i think? I was there. bittersweet memory.
Excellent Song, quality and atmosphere ......
I'll never forget that concert in Aarhus Denmark 2016 I was front stage with a friend Biff saw us and wore his battle vest on stage good times hope I can see them again since I don't live there anymore
Never Surrender was my first ever metal single buy. 1981. I was 10. Still love it.
And what a brilliant record 😜
Brilliant - Cheers !
One of the best metal bands ever......

Superb👍
Gott...... ich war 16 Jahre alt.... eine Offenbarung damals..... 💥💥💥🥳
Warst du damals bei einem Live Konzert?
One of those GREAT songs from the UK legends that made so many of us followers of the band! \m/
When I first heard this over 40 years ago. I was the only person in my city that knew this song.
Saxon were the first band I went to see at Stafford Bingley Hall in 1981 I was 19 and they still sound good biff singing is still awesome.
Bingley hall Stafford..brings back memories..saw Thin Lizzy in the good ol' 80’s wish I'd seen Saxon...🤟
Godammit this is SO GOOD
I am lucky enough to have seen Saxon a number of times; especially during the NWOBHM period in the 80's, but of all the memories there is one that stands out; they were playing The Monsters Of Rock (Open Air) at Donnington , they were playing this (747 Strangers in the Night) and in the middle of it Biff walked over in front of the HUGE Bass Bins and stuck his head into one of the bins, and God they were LOUD!!!!!. Great day. I remember The Scorpions stepping in for someone else at the last minute and they too played a Stormer But I remember the headliners Rainbow came on and after about 2 songs everyone started leaving because they really just didn't 'Turn Up'. Some fans down the front started throwing cans & stuff at the stage and Blackmore throwing a strop.
Saxon leagands one of my favorite bands first time I saw them was at rock city Nottingham love them
Excelentes recuerdos, gracias por compartir, saludos desde Venezuela.
Hell yesss
No wonder they were the early leaders of NWOBHM🤘💪
Un extraordinario tema de la gran banda Saxon. Con mis 60 años de edad, Inolvidable!!
Going to see biff and the boys in Boston in about a month can't wait it's been a while for me since the living room in Rhode Island.1980. 🤘
