man... when a 70 year old, after a 40+ year career sings better than most of the "modern" singers. No auto-tune, no backing tracks, just a few dudes and their instruments... bravo...

@@ovideo-p5b anyone that without auto-tune would be out a job! That involves a wide sample of artists if you ask me. And btw let me tell you, I am not even a fan of Saxon.

[@joffreyverbeeck1640]

I hope Biff kicked that video sound editor a few laps around the room though. First of all, Saxon should sound way more powerfull. Second, we want to hear the crowd go nuts.

[@patparadiserockstation]

These guys are unflappable and still can go! Their last CD was incredible and arguably one of their best!

[@ballbreathtaker9773]

Their last album is one of their top 3 albums after their first 5 albums which have defined what Saxon is.

[@griefforest1870]

@@ballbreathtaker9773I agree. Their last two decades have been nothing but spectacular but now and then there's an album which is still greater than the others. For me Lionheart, Into the Labyrinth, Thunderbolt and the new one easily stack up next to their early 80s material.

[@markokukkonen2907]

I Love Lionheart that was for me that album that take me to Big Saxon fan again then i love Into the labyrinth and also inner Sanctum Metalhead is Masterpiece album then Sacrifice album and Battering Ram is amazing and Thunderbolt and the lastest album Is masteralbum

@@greg-warsaw4708 Had the pleasure to meet and chat with Ted Mckenna around 2015 when he was touring with Gerry McAvoy's Band of Friends. Very interesting and likeable individual who recounted a fair few tales of life on the road and in the studio with the Alex Harvey Band and Rory Gallagher. Ted was always in demand as a session drummer with a variety of differing bands and artiest, including Womack and Womack. His passing whilst undergoing a fairly routine hernia operation was both sad and unexpected. R.I.P. Ted.

It's great seeing these classic bands still bringing it. Accept's set was really good.

[@beenalive1736]

Arguably, Biff is one of the only classic metal vocalists that's both still alive and kicking it and also surpassing/heavily standing besides new vocalists playing old school metal. Truly one of the best.

Seen them numerous times when they were in their prime. To be honest: today they are not what they once were - but then who is? And given that Biff is an incredible 73 years of age he can still light it up - I know some people younger than him who don't come close to his stamina and energy.
