5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT HEAVY METAL ALBUM !, January 11, 2000

By 

Paulo ([e-mail]) (Brazil) - See all my reviews

This live album has the following tracks, not necessarily on this order: Motorcycle man; 747 (strangers in the night); princess of the night; strong arm of the law; heavy metal thunder; 20,000 FT; never surrender; wheels of steel; fire in the sky; machine gun. In my pessoal opinion, the high points of this album are the track "motorcycle man" (with a compass more acelerated than the normal), the energetic performance of the track "heavy metal thunder", and the tracks "never surrender" (with a powerful and precise introduction by the guitarrist Graham Oliver) and "wheels of steel" (with an amazing guitar solo by Graham Oliver, one of the best guitar solos that I heard !). The guitar solo by Paul Quinn on the track "strong arm of the law" is great too ! The other tracks are very good too, with the exception of "machine gun", which was played with high energy, but in my opinion the guitarrists extrapolated in the guitar effects on this song, resulting in a confused performance of this track. But this is a great heavy metal album, showing a piece of what was the NWOBHM in the early 80's. This live recording is obrigatory to every Saxon fan !

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Live Album Ever, April 18, 2002

By 

Robert T. Kennedy (Newark, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Eagle Has Landed (Audio CD)

With all due respect to KISS ``ALIVE!``, Maiden`s ``Live After Death``, Priests ``Uleashed In the East`` and AC/DC`s ``If You Want Blood...``, SAXON`s ``The Eagle Has Landed`` is the best live metal album released during the mid-70`s to late 80`s timeframe. Every track is full of pure energy and Biff Byford`s voice is in perfect form. SAXON are a terrific group of performers and their songwriting is vastly under-rated. How they never caught on in the States amazes me, as they are far more talented than acts that did like The Scorpions and Def Leopard. You can`t go wrong with any SAXON album, but this is the best introduction to a great ``NWOHMB.``

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Metal Thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, July 22, 2005

By 

Thin Timmy "Bela Drake" (New Orleans, La.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eagle Has Landed (Audio CD)

This is pure hard rock at it's best. If you never heard
Saxon or 80's british metal start here. This is like a
greatest hits live album. I bought this after seeing
them in concert and I was blown away. I only have
2 other albums by them but this is by far the best...
Every song just kicks *** and I highly recommend it!!!!
