Photo shoot at The Acropolis. Saxon with Yanis, their EMI-Greece rep.
The photo is probably the last shot of this Saxon line up. It was taken in Greece (1986) and it was their first ever show in this country .
It turned out to be also the last show of Steve Dawson.

  1. Hi there, a lot of Polish dates are missing here.
    Correct Polish Tour:
    11.04.1986 – Lublin, Hala WOSiR
    12.04.1986 – Warszawa, Hala Torwar
    13.04.1986 – Katowice, unknown place
    14.04.1986 – Kraków, unknown place
    15.04.1986 – Wrocław, Hala Ludowa
    16.04.1986 – Poznań, Arena
    17.04.1986 – Gdańsk, Hala Oliva
    18.04.1986 – Łódź, Hala Politechniki
    The dates are pointed in the tourbook for Rock The Nations tour 86-87 and in the few articles in Polish press (got scans, also review and interview with Biff after first gig in Lublin).

    1. This is wonderful information Marcin, i will sent you a mail andthen you can share the scans. I will fully credit you on the site for this.

      1. Hi mate, I probably put on the wrong mail – please write at marcin.puszka [at] radiolublin.pl – thanks!

        Btw you can put out the Atlas Arena – this place didn’t exist in 1986. Hala Politechniki is the correct venue for Lodz.
