I'm getting old! I was at this concert! I can tell you, when that eagle lit up you could literally feel the heat of the bulbs. Must have been hell for the band.
Omg. I never thought Ide see this again! Damnit RUclips is fuckin great. The 80s was so incredible for metal. Hot chicks, lsd, and Saxon. What a night this was!
I saw this tour . They opened for iron maiden. Both bands killed IT. SAXON is soooooo badass. Love this SONG. And the guitar work. SAXON 4 life 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
for those who don't know what this song is about,... "Houston control,...the eagle has landed.." the first words transmitted from the Apollo lunar lander when they touched down on the moon in 1969. maybe some of you were not alive then. Its a tribute to the huge clanking metal balls those astronauts have,.. to get on a rocket and blast off to the moon in a tin can with less computing power than a '99 toyota. crazy bastards for sure, and a fitting tribute from a classic band.
that's funny'' yeah no shit'' in a fucking giant bomb literally tin can'', wow'', they had no clue what was gonna happen let alone if they were even gonna make it back if they got up there.
What he actually said was “Houston, Tranquility base here, the Eagle has landed” You can download the entire Apollo radio transmissions. Only 40 hours of chit chat.
Saxon! Such a great band. First saw them when I was 17 (1981) and saw them a few years back with UFO (another great band!) I may be fucking old, but I saw ALL the bands! I still listen to Saxon- one of my favorite metals bands ever.
I saw this concert in Copenhagen, think it was februari '83. When this song started was a moment in my life I'll never forget. ( The album "Eagle has landed" was released soon after, so I had never heard it before). MAGIC!
Anyone remember a time long ago when pulling up to your high school with your best buds in the car and your stereo as loud as it would go jamming THE EAGLE HAS LANDED....... It still fucking rocks!!!!!!
Along with Thin Lizzy's Thunder and Lightning and Wishbone Ash's Twin Barrels Burning, this is what got the callow youth that was me into hard rock/metal in the early eighties.
4/5 of the original line up with Steve Dawson and Graham Oliver.The real Saxon.Great Band. GREAT Line Up. AMAZING Song. I love it. And the shining Eagle.Glorious Times.Saxon are Legends
1st concert ever for me with Accept at the San Jose Civic in Fall of 1984. After seeing Accept live, I was floored and thought nobody could ever do better. Then Saxon came on and proved me wrong!
Awesome. That and many of their other songs. I saw them In Kaiserslautern and years later in El paso Texas. They blew any chance of "Triumph" having a good showing in El Paso. I was there to see Triumph. hehehe.
Fab, travelled far and wide to see Saxon, great band, fab songs and magic live, can even remember Biff getting " Rear" of the year, driving all us women mad...... long live saxon :)
I was in the 8th grade in 1983 and me and all the guys from the neighborhood bought tickets to see Iron Maiden live at the Hemisfair Arena in San Antonio, Texas. It was Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Fastway. It was my first time watching all 3 bands live. The only thing that really makes me very sad is that before the show we all took a hit of acid and smoked a bag of weed and I don’t remember a fucking thing
Thanks for the post. Awesome footage!!!. As a mid-teen kid, this was my favorite tune for a few years. That's saying something with all of the experimentation of sound & songs at the time. One of those good rock tunes that you never tire of, & here we are 35 years later, still kickin' ass. The Eagle has landed... guitar...
Oh what a concert. I've seen them in 1981 for the first time and two years ago for the last time and I'll see them again.... always been great... Biff's voice got stronger through the years and the music is still powerful like in the early years....tx for posting!
I saw them that tour also at the Cow palace in California, what a great show. I couldn't stop the ringing in my ears for days. Great stuff. Thanks for the vid.
Saw them at the Paramount Theater in Seattle in '84 with Accept and Heavy Pettin and that eagle was kick ass. That was the loudest concert I ever went to and at one point Biff whistled into the mic and it was so loud it caused my eyes to vibrate in their sockets and for a second everything went out of focus. I couldn't hear a thing for 3 days after that gig.
I was trying to remember who the 3rd band was that night. Paramount is always too loud. Saw them open for Iron Maiden also. I think prior to this show.

ELLI NATHALIE KORRE same to you
Yah I agree. No doubt
I quite agree Elli. Perchance were you born in England?
I'm 55. Been following them since '79. Absolutely incredible band.
Same age here.
1982 for me. Saxon and UFO had the best live shows until Maiden swapped out singers.
But P.D. was still my favorite Maiden singer.
SAXON living legend of heavy metal sound.♥️
I remeber my dad always nagging bout my music, once i arived at home and i found him playing my saxon album, as loud as the thing could go
He found your stash bro !!!!! Shit yeah !!!
What did u say to him?
Here the old man ( dad ) infected the son's ! The old man and kids go together to rock and metal concerts and festivals , mam too ;-)
I am 56 and i find this performance absolutely...GREAT!!!
I'm getting old! I was at this concert! I can tell you, when that eagle lit up you could literally feel the heat of the bulbs. Must have been hell for the band.
Awesome! good on ya mate !
I remember seeing this on the same tour at Glasgow Apollo. The heat from the Eagle almost set the place on fire! Awesome!
"Heaven and Hell brother!" I'm aging with you lordchea...saw them in Detroit, way back in the day! BLEW EVERYBODY AWAY!!! ")
Saw them same year, same tour in Zagreb ( back then it was Yugoslavia ) Croatia. Was 16, now 51 and still listening !
thankfully there is LED now days for this stuff
I always loved Saxons lyrical take on modern history!
God damn I love that echo effect they used during this era in metal. Nobody seems to use that much anymore.
A masterpiece !
Oh yes , I’ll listen to Saxon til the eagle has landed, 2024
Omg. I never thought Ide see this again! Damnit RUclips is fuckin great. The 80s was so incredible for metal. Hot chicks, lsd, and Saxon. What a night this was!
Crazy to think this is 31 years old. Saxon RULES!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!
+MrMegaFredZeppelin Yep, were gettin' old. I bought this LP when it was first released, a junior in high school.
Well, now it's almost 40 years 🤷♂️😉
Should be a billion views. People don't know what they are missing!
I remmeber being so close to the front that you could feel the heat of the the eagle when it lit up. Great memories.
I thought the electric bird was a bat LOL.
Hell ya !!!!! And iam 57 yes old now! This was my high school day,s
I saw this tour . They opened for iron maiden. Both bands killed IT. SAXON is soooooo badass. Love this SONG. And the guitar work. SAXON 4 life
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
And Fastway
And the drums!
Must have been in the USA then? Saxon were headliners on this tour in the UK.
Victim of changes with a slow tempo, still a powerful song,I love it!
Heavy metal lives forever!

John Carous they had a decent idea, they werent just gonna send three people to thier deaths. it was calculated, but still very risky.
This songs proves the moon landings were real, of course.
What he actually said was “Houston, Tranquility base here, the Eagle has landed”
You can download the entire Apollo radio transmissions. Only 40 hours of chit chat.
I believe i was still in my mom's womb as i was born in Nov, 1969...
Saxon! Such a great band. First saw them when I was 17 (1981) and saw them a few years back with UFO (another great band!) I may be fucking old, but I saw ALL the bands! I still listen to Saxon- one of my favorite metals bands ever.
Hell yeah.... saw the Innocence tour... Loudest concert I ever attended. Brisol Hippodrome '85...
Beautiful song ! ! ! Love SAXON forever ! ! !
I saw this concert in Copenhagen, think it was februari '83. When this song started was a moment in my life I'll never forget. ( The album "Eagle has landed" was released soon after, so I had never heard it before). MAGIC!
I seen this tour in Frankfurt, Germany. Just blew me away!
This tune was first released on "The power & the Glory", though.
2022 and the opening to this song is still amazing
OMG Saxon was and still are one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time. I'm 21 - I wish I was around in those times geez
great songs never die long live saxon
The best Saxon's song
Seeing them play this song in Stockholm, 2022 was an amazing experience
Saw Saxon in Edinburgh and they played this track. Those lights were so hot during those majestic power chords. Quite an experience.
Best Saxon Song
83 ......The good old days ........
My first Saxon concert.. .. Brussels...I was 16 years old 👌👌
For me the Best Live Version of this Song.
one of my fav saxon songs awesome
Mine too
This is true british heavy metal we should be proud.You young guy,s keep it real belive in what you are at and with luck you be there...
EASILY the best live performance of any song I have ever witnessed...saw them perform this live in San Antonio, TX and will never forget it.
Crusader tour?
Saxon is my favourite Heavy Metal band.
Seen this in Cardiff as a 13yr boy still remember it to this day, awesome 1st concert....
Still remember watching the entire show on a VHS tape back in 85
Anyone remember a time long ago when pulling up to your high school with your best buds in the car and your stereo as loud as it would go jamming THE EAGLE HAS LANDED.......
It still fucking rocks!!!!!!
Yes I love this song.
Saxon is absolutely stellar, nothing can compare SAXON 2021!!!!!
Saxon 1 of my favorite rockbands of all time and so underrated in my opinion. Those first 4 to 5 albums are all classics.
Along with Thin Lizzy's Thunder and Lightning and Wishbone Ash's Twin Barrels Burning, this is what got the callow youth that was me into hard rock/metal in the early eighties.
I FOUND THIS BAND IN THE RADIO IN 2005 AND I STUCK WITH THIS BAND.I HOPE RELEASE NEW ALBUM SOON.
Great song, Great Band 👍
Love this song, my fav Saxon song and Victim of changes is my fav Priest song as well ;)
Saxon true metal band 👍👍😊
4/5 of the original line up with Steve Dawson and Graham Oliver.The real Saxon.Great Band. GREAT Line Up. AMAZING Song. I love it. And the shining Eagle.Glorious Times.Saxon are Legends
Been listening since 1980
Saxon's masterpiece!!
1st concert ever for me with Accept at the San Jose Civic in Fall of 1984. After seeing Accept live, I was floored and thought nobody could ever do better. Then Saxon came on and proved me wrong!
Not heard this for decades. Still a great tune.
Saxon Rules the Galaxy Forever ⚔️
Awesome. That and many of their other songs. I saw them In Kaiserslautern and years later in El paso Texas. They blew any chance of "Triumph" having a good showing in El Paso. I was there to see Triumph. hehehe.
I saw this tour in Phoenix !
My god, I remember this tour at the City Hall in Newcastle, the heat off those lamps was amazing !
Maiden, Saxon, fastway.. reunion arena Dallas Texas. Great show. Wish someone had that video

Thanks for the post.
Awesome footage!!!.
As a mid-teen kid, this was my favorite tune for a few years.
That's saying something with all of the experimentation of sound & songs at the time.
One of those good rock tunes that you never tire of, & here we are 35 years later, still kickin' ass.
The Eagle has landed... guitar...
Saxon the best band of the world.....
Oh what a concert. I've seen them in 1981 for the first time and two years ago for the last time and I'll see them again.... always been great... Biff's voice got stronger through the years and the music is still powerful like in the early years....tx for posting!
Eagle has Landed tour.......Glorious times full of drink and debauchery
Quinn with old good Stratocaster.,.awesome time..my favourite band of heavy metal..love the Biff Byford voice too
I saw them that tour also at the Cow palace in California, what a great show. I couldn't stop the ringing in my ears for days. Great stuff. Thanks for the vid.
Listening Live 10. 3.23 Köln 🤘🤘🤘
Saw them at the Paramount Theater in Seattle in '84 with Accept and Heavy Pettin and that eagle was kick ass. That was the loudest concert I ever went to and at one point Biff whistled into the mic and it was so loud it caused my eyes to vibrate in their sockets and for a second everything went out of focus.
I couldn't hear a thing for 3 days after that gig.
I was trying to remember who the 3rd band was that night. Paramount is always too loud. Saw them open for Iron Maiden also. I think prior to this show.
metal at its underated best
