I was sacked in December 6th 1980 (Saturday morning) for missing work the previous night as I'd seen Saxon live in Coventry on this tour. I was jobless and skint..............was it worth it? Fuck, yeah!
SAXON. Truly it is criminal how underappreciated they are. Give me them before IRON MAIDEN. SAXON brings the music. I don't need a stage show. If I wanted to see a musical I'd go see one. All I want is to ROCK! THANKS FELLAS!
@@traceytepper4620 In one small way I like that SAXON isn't all that well known here in the states, it's like being in on a kind of secret. The only kind of secret worth knowing. I don't want to know if my neighbor is cheating on his wife. I don't care. But SAXON... I know what to do with that kind of secret...ROCK!!!
@majudaem To this day they're better. Bruce Dickinson's voice nowadays (especially live) sounds like a cat crapping broken glass,but Biff's voice is still strong and true.
I was 14 when a friend called me and said that he knew in which hotel in Zürich Saxon were staying (it was the Nova Park. We had tickets for the show, but decided to give it a try and just hang out at the hotel, maybe we'd meet the band. And we did. None of us young 'bangers spoke english, but the band took excellent care of us, invited us to have lunch with them and gifted us with free merch. Later on stage, Biff kept pointing at us, waving and making jokes. I never banged harder in my life.
Oh my, the bloody memorizes from this band WAY back in time. Remember seeing them a few times at De Montfort Hall., brings tears to my eyes. I always remember when the giant eagle slowly came down, looked like feet from biff and the boys. Man, do i wish i could go back too them days. Happy, happy memorizes indeed. So glad i can say i was there to see Saxon grow and Grow. Older now and certainly cant be arsed with all the gigs we went to, but the memorizes will never fade.
That opening guitar riff....first riff i ever figured out on my own just by listening to the record. When I started doing it, I was like hell yes, check this out. My friends were impressed. Life was good. The early eighties was like living in a John Hughes movie for real.
seen Saxon with Armored Saint in a small club back in the 80s with my little brother we head banged stage left front the whole show "I miss you every day Bro" one of the best nights of my life!🤘
I was listening to the music on the radio (*) I had a feeling that something's not right The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd From the gig that we played that night We pulled into a motorway restaurant Stopped awhile, fooled around But I still had a feeling that something's not right 'Cause we're standing in a whole in the ground Stop, get out (**) We are the strong arm of the law Stop, get out We are the strong arm of the law Into the night came a blue flashing light A blast from the siren to make sure But it came to a stop behind the motorway cop Who'd been tailing us for more than an hour He pulled us out of the car on the side of the road He questioned us one at a time Where is the gear that we know that you use We said the only speed we use is on cars [Repeat **] You should've seen the stupid smirk drop from his face It was a negative exercise The way that we dress and the things that we do They thought it was an easy bust
Saxon had so many great tunes. It is surprising more of these songs didn't get radio play. I live in Canada and the only two Saxon tunes I have heard on radio in the 80s was Denim and Leather and Power and the Glory. Denim and Leather remains one of my top songs of all time.
Iconic album...when i was 14 years old,this album was a "must",with killers from iron maiden,or blackout from scorpions,or bomber from motorhead,or mob rules from black sabbath and so on...the 1st live is good too,but after power and the glory,saxon became another band...
@@busdriver6278 Yes we are.The 1st album i ve bought,was "back in black",i was 14.I always listen all these great album.One of my favourite album is always,"restless breed" from Riot with Rhett Forrester.I love "life" from Thin lizzy too,or HSAS and so many more...my best years.

Crikey! I saw Saxon on this tour in Bradford St Georges, was soaked in sweat at the front and walked 5 miles home with a tee shirt and denim cut down top end wise and it was cold out but well worth it. Happy days
Fuck to hell motherfuckin yeah. No gimmicks or bullshit, just straight rock n roll. 50 years younger, stlii lovin life and this awesome fucking song, and group. Hail 70s and 80s metal.
I saw this band in Colne(!) back in the early 90s. They were VERY loud but brilliant. Biff is an amazing frontman. I was on the balcony with my boring boyfriend and our mate Prof got 'into' it at the front - nearer the stage - only for his specs to fly right off his head with the momentum of the crowd. Why I remember that I don't know but it was a great night...and yes, he did manage to retrieve his specs! Never seen so much denim and leather in my life. I always felt safe at these gigs, even though the women were outnumbered by the guys about 3-1 I'd say.😀
It was a joke, The one guitarist often tries to look like Angus. Check out the video for Denim and Leather. He tries to look like Angus even more in that one.
@@JNDGuitarman which might be why when I watch Saxon as a whole, I can't help but think of Uriah Heep..... Like a bunch of childhood buddies who put the band together for the love of the music...

I totally agree. I say to people have you heard of Saxon?. They're better than Iron Maiden.

I saw them in Turin my city. I was 16 Years old.
One of the most powerful Songs of all Time!
Great driving song
Yes!
The intro hummin’ on the bass gives me instant Status Quo vibes.
Totally dig this song.. and especially good for windows down speed driving..!!
Amen to that 🤟
Saxon crushed it in 1980 - such great memories playing this and Wheels over and over…
My favorite Saxon lineup ! Miss these dudes!
Amen
For me could interchange Pete or Nigel, but otherwise agree about the other 4.
instablaster
Biff, Graham, Paul, Steve, &.Pete
@@kudukilla it's gotta be Pete
One of my favorite metal songs. Glorious band live. 🤘🎸

Love the song so much we did a 'cover' of it, great band been a fan of Saxon since 1980 LEGENDS! \m/
Yes I have been also and I'm 53 and I still have all of their CD's and I still jam out to them
That opening guitar riff....first riff i ever figured out on my own just by listening to the record. When I started doing it, I was like hell yes, check this out. My friends were impressed. Life was good. The early eighties was like living in a John Hughes movie for real.
40 yrs ago, this year. What a kickass show! With Motorhead and Girls School!
I agree with you and I'm 53 also I seen this group on MTV Headbanger's ball back in the 1980's okay
That solo, sounds newer, fresher each time i hear it. I don't know why, but it does. I'm gonna play it again!!
I was at their concert...Milan 1981...grandi Saxon 🤟🇮🇹
I Saxon quelli veri!!!!!
Saxon still kickin ass til this day, what a great band!!
Yeah Biff heard me sing even...
Saw them 3 weeks ago!
Yes I tolley agree with you and I'm 53 and I remember seeing this group on MTV Headbangers ball and on VH1 Classic
I saw them a couple of days ago (April 2024), and they still ROCK!
Crystal clear sound and underrated guys....love this song it’s just timeless
If heavy metal music had an anthem, this would definitely be it !💪🤙🔥
This and "Dallas 1PM" were the best songs on that album. I had a friend in college who also liked metal and we used to play guitar to these two songs.
Dallas 1pm if Led Zep had done that everyone would be throwing Grammys... what a band what a sound what musicians .
Fell in love with this group in ‘83. Came home from a party with Saxon “Strong arm of the law” in my car. So thankful.
seen Saxon with Armored Saint in a small club back in the 80s with my little brother we head banged stage left front the whole show "I miss you every day Bro" one of the best nights of my life!🤘
What a great driving tune
My favourite Saxon song 🎸🤘🇬🇧
This song oozes Weekend Heavy Metal madness all the way!
I was listening to the music on the radio (*)
I had a feeling that something's not right
The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd
From the gig that we played that night
We pulled into a motorway restaurant
Stopped awhile, fooled around
But I still had a feeling that something's not right
'Cause we're standing in a whole in the ground
Stop, get out (**)
We are the strong arm of the law
Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law
Into the night came a blue flashing light
A blast from the siren to make sure
But it came to a stop behind the motorway cop
Who'd been tailing us for more than an hour
He pulled us out of the car on the side of the road
He questioned us one at a time
Where is the gear that we know that you use
We said the only speed we use is on cars
[Repeat **]
You should've seen the stupid smirk drop from his face
It was a negative exercise
The way that we dress and the things that we do
They thought it was an easy bust
That whole in the ground ain't right. Must be "as we started our homeward bound"
Its an honour to know Graham. And to be able to own his Vintage Metal Axxe Raider
Paul Quinn is an underrated Guitar GOD !

billy barkly SAXON FODA DEMAIS. LEGAL PRA CACETE. BRASIL.
Just saw them here in Dallas, and after 20 years of going to the shows they still put on a great one.
Makes me want to dig out my old Bota bag and Proto pipe for a concert. Crank it! If it's too loud, then you're too old! \m/
a relentless bassline, crunchy riff and tasty solo make this a tried-and-tested live fave.
Love that Biff ! Awesome band ❤

Auch Saxon war eine großartige Band
"Was"??? "Knew"??? They're still down to earth, still know how to rock, and hopefully always will!
Just love Saxon, especially this early stuff.
It's the drummer who did "locomotive" when he was with Motorhead. Pete Gillis
his singing is just perfect
nothing's gonna stop rock n roll ! !
Saxon rules ! !

Great thing is they're still kicking major ass to this day, saw them supporting Priest last week, totally awesome!
Classic, classic rock.
For what this is, you simply cannot top it.
OMG...SAXON! Dallas 1P.M. was one of my faves!
I Remember first hearing this in like 2009-2010 on VH1 classic’s show Metal Mania. It was nothing but music videos.

No better band live ...magnificent guitarists base ... and they have the all important Biff factor
Biff factor is key....and the best guitarists and base player in rock
Badass. Love me some Saxon. Rock heroes.
pure energy

Keep on rocking SAXON FOR EVER
Classic band, classic song.
Sabato 6 aprile 2024..... waiting to see Saxon with Judas ❤
Now Goddamnit That's music!!!
Saw these guys about 5 or 6 times in the early to mid 80s - awesome band!
loved them when i was growing up and they still ROCK!!!!!!!!
Such an underrated band
Not if you're from San Antonio TX 😜
what a beautiful voice!!!
It was good of Angus Young to take time out of his busy schedule to help out on this tune.
