I feel sadness for those in the world who have never witnessed a Saxon live show. This being the celebration of their 40th year as a band, it goes without saying that the boys have gotten their performances down. But it never feels like jaded pros just going through the motions. I mean, shit, the eldest guys in the group have got to be pushing 70 at this point. You’d honestly have to understand if they weren’t giving it 100% on an average night at a small club in Austin, TX on a random Thursday night running through their umpteenth-thousandth or so performance of Wheels of Steel. But there they were just banging through their massive catalog of songs like a much younger band with plenty to prove. Biff is just an ageless wonder. Headbanging and jumping up and down like a maniac with a mischievous gleam in his eye like he still can’t believe people are still paying him to do this shit. This band is a fucking institution and if you haven’t seen them play, get to rectifying that shit immediately. They aren’t going to be going forever. You’ve got to cherish the special ones.
