Comments Great picture but the sound is terrible Although the music is clear, there's heavy crackling throughout that means pretty much the only way to watch this is with the sound OFF Footage appears to come from two different broadcasts, with different set lists. Show #1 in decent quality is included on

the Saxon - Archive (DVD)

Track Listing: Show #1 Heavy Metal Thunder, Freeway Mad, Dallas 1pm, And the Bands Played On, Strong Arm of the Law, Machine Gun
Show #2 And the Bands Played On, [TV Presenter], Strong Arm of the Law, Hungry Years, Freeway Mad

Comments: Excellent recording and Show although Biff is a bit lost in the mix during the opening number. but once that is sorted out this is about as good as it gets. Probably recorded for, the official released  "Eagle Has Landed" album which was intended to be a double live album, so this is what it would have sounded like.

Comments: Biff and the boys open for Judas Priest - hence the short set - and they pull out all the stops. As did the taper, for this is practically soundboard sounding in places 

Track Listing: Intro/Killing Ground, 747 (Strangers In The Night), Dogs Of War, Denim & Leather, Dragon's Lair, Motorcycle Man, Dallas 1pm, Strong Arm Of The Law, Princess Of The Night, Wheels Of Steel

Comments: Brilliant recording of a great show that apparently over ran as Biff kept adding extra songs into the set, often letting the audience choose which tracks they wanted This version doesn't include the support act mentioned on the covers.

Comments: Slight edits to remove the DJ sound like gaps between tracks but otherwise great show.

Track Listing: Heavy Metal Thunder,  Solid Ball Of Rock,  Motorcycle Man,  Denim And Leather,  Conquistador,  Drum Solo

Comments: Playing under a curfew the band cram as many songs as they can into the set, including bring up a then ex-member to play along.
