Album review: Saxon transports us back to a forgotten era on the reissue of debut live album 'The Eagles Has Landed'

Four decades into their career, Saxon transport us to the birth The New Wave of British Heavy Metal in an immersive concert experience on the reissue of their debut live album.
PUBLISHED OCT 19, 2018

Earlier this February, British heavy metal mainstays Saxon proved that they're still going strong with their 22nd original studio album 'Thunderbolt', which landed many respectable spots on European charts, peaking at No. 6 on the Swiss Schweizer Hitparade.

Now, the pioneers of what is today called the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) have returned with a reissue of their debut live album 'The Eagles Has Landed'. The original live album was recorded during the European leg of Saxon's world tour supporting the 1982 hit album 'Denim and Leather' and the first 10 tracks on the new reissue are from those live performances. The final six bonus tracks were recorded live at London's famous Hammersmith Odeon in 1981-82.
