  1. I saw Saxon on this tour in a small club called The Token Lounge in Westland, MI (Detroit metro suburb). I don’t see it listed and I can’t remember the date. Does anyone have this information?

      1. I found the information on the Saxon show in Westland, MI. It was on August 19, 1988 and the opening band was Hurricane. In your format:

        1988, Aug 19: Token Lounge, Westland, MI, USA

        Unfortunately, I don’t have a set list or a ticket stub (don’t think they had tickets). I do have an image of a newspaper clipping with the concert listed.
