“Nobody does it better than Saxon” – ROCK CANDY

“Whoever does not own ‘Hell, Fire And Damnation’ should buy this release for sure.
A double CD where the live recording is totally convincing. A must have for all fans of Saxon! – LEGACY

“Next to Maiden, Def Leppard, Motörhead and Judas Priest, Saxon is one of the most successful bands from the 80’s NWOBHM. Biff still has great voice… For collectors the album is a must have! – HARDLINE

“Anyone who has seen Saxon in concert recently will undoubtedly confirm that these gentlemen are currently in the form of their lives. Besides two songs from the current “Hell, Fire And Damnation” album, the release is packed with hits such as “Motorcycle Man”, “Wheels Of Steel”, “Crusader”, “Princess Of The Night”, “Heavy Metal Thunder” and “Power & The Glory”.
A total of fourteen songs are delivered in a first-class, powerful sound” – BREAKOUT

“An essential collection that showcases the band’s exemplary career in the service of heavy metal! Recorded live at Hellfest, Biff and his band ignite the feeling of the old “Wheels of Steel” days, and that means full speed until you drop. A fantastic album and a legendary compilation of all-time highlights.” – BERLIN TO GO
