Saxon - Live At Beat Club 1981
Review by Donna Holland
Live At Beat Club 1981 by Saxon is a captivating album that transports the listener back to the early days of British heavy metal. The band's electrifying performance at the Beat Club in Bremen, Germany is captured in its rawest form, with no overdubs or studio trickery.
The album features some of Saxon's most iconic tracks, including "Wheels of Steel," "Strong Arm of the Law," and "Motorcycle Man." The band's energy and enthusiasm are palpable, and the crowd's response is equally electric.
Saxon's musicianship is on full display, with blistering guitar solos and thunderous drumming. The vocals are powerful and emotive, with frontman Biff Byford commanding the stage with his signature presence.

The best british HEAVY METAL band. Lemmy said in an interview with Biff: you have the best riffs. Nothing more to say. Metal greetings from Germany.
