Though there be no absence of live Saxon material, far form it
in fact, the two groups operating under the name have been a little slow on
issuing video material. Here you have the Biff Byford led version of Saxon not
only casting a stellar live set onto the Saxon recorded pile but also a
treasure trove of archival material that brings the whole package well into
the “essential” range. Disc one is Biff and the fellows blasting their way
through a classic filled set for the Wacken Open Air festival of 2001, better
than an hour and a half mind you! Tacked on at the end is a modern day
interview with Biff where he rolls through every Biff-ism you could hope for,
what a character and what a showman! Disc Two is an artfully done pastiche of
home videos documenting the band on tour though the years, rare Television
interview appearances and mind-blowing footage of Saxon’s numerous visits to
the “Top of the Pops” program. There are also rare and previously unseen photo
sections and a “press” section that is a bit pointless as you can’t read the
stories but for the hardcore, you will love it too. Probably the best done DVD
collection of any group of the era this Saxon release rates with anything the
group has ever done and is sure to provide the historically minded Metal head
many hours of head bobbing enjoyment.
