Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III

Every truly great act in the history of rock music has had two distinctive traits: a sure hand for hit-worthy compositions, but also the skill and that inner fire to translate these compositions just as hauntingly in their shows. Saxon certainly have both characteristics: having composed countless metal classics, they are also indisputably at home live on stage.

The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III. was recorded by two different line-ups: the cuts from 2004 feature drummer Jorg Michael (including live takes from their legendary Wacken Show ), the 2005 material presents Nigel Glockler. Consisting, next to Glocker, of founding members, Biff Byford (vocals) and Paul Quinn (guitar) plus the long-serving Nibbs Carter (bass) and Doug Scarratt (guitar)

SAXON are still one of the hottest contemporary live acts.

This release contains many of the classics from the band's early years up to 2004
