The band were touring to promote the imminent release of the&nbsp;<strong>Rock the Nations&nbsp;<\/strong>album&nbsp; and, while that patchy album found them losing their Midas touch in the studio<strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong>on&nbsp;<strong>BBC in Concert (23<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;August 1986)<\/strong>&nbsp;it sounds like they were losing none of their knack as a live act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, the BBC didn\u2019t air the whole set and cherry-picked just 9 songs for broadcast. Much of the broadcast has since been available on Saxon\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>BBC Sessions<\/strong>&nbsp;album but this album download (available on Amazon\/iTunes etc\u2026) now presents the complete 9 song, 51 min broadcast as it was originally aired. It\u2019s fairly heavy on the classic material and if you didn\u2019t know what year it was from you could be forgiven for thinking this was the band in their NWOBHM pomp. Only two new songs give the game away: an excellent version of&nbsp;<em>Rock the Nations<\/em>&nbsp;that fits right in with the older material and a performance of&nbsp;<em>Waiting for the Night<\/em>&nbsp;which\u2026 doesn\u2019t. It\u2019s actually a pretty good version of the track but its pop rock breaks the spell cast by glorious versions of metal powerhouses like&nbsp;<em>747 (Strangers in the Night)<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Wheels of Steel<\/em>. On the bonus side it\u2019s the song here that gets played least often so it\u2019s good to hear and own a live version of it.<a href=\"https:\/\/heavymetaloverload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/reading86poster.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That one hiccup aside, the rest of the performance is impressive. The band is on winning form and the crowd sound like they\u2019re lapping it all right up. While new bassist Paul Johnson didn\u2019t command the stage like Steve Dawson he acquits himself well musically.&nbsp;<em>Never Surrender<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>20,000ft<\/em>&nbsp;give the classic&nbsp;<strong>The<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Eagle Has Landed<\/strong>&nbsp;live album versions a run for their money and an excellent&nbsp;<em>Strong Arm of the Law<\/em>&nbsp;climaxes with a wailing Graham Oliver solo (with some Sabs and Hendrix thrown in for good measure). The real highlight, though, is a captivating&nbsp;<em>The Eagle Has Landed<\/em>&nbsp;which puts its studio counterpart firmly in the shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vintage quality of this performance must have been heartening stuff for fans troubled by the recent studio albums but any hopes for a return to form would soon be dashed. The&nbsp;Rock the Nations&nbsp;album proved disappointing and, frustrated by the way the band was being managed, Nigel Glockler would leave the band at the end of the tour to join GTR. And Saxon\u2019s next, and last, studio album for EMI would be a desparate gamble that would test the patience and loyalty of their fans more than any other yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">1986 Reading Festival 1986 &#8211; Aug 23 (CD)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artist: Saxon<br>Release: Live At Reading Festival [Bootleg 23-08-86]<br>Genre: Heavy Metal<br>Country: England<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"426\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/saxonforeverdiscography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/afbeelding-179.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3422\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.1695652173913043;width:456px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saxonforeverdiscography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/afbeelding-179.png 426w, https:\/\/saxonforeverdiscography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/afbeelding-179-300x256.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>01 &#8211; The Power And The Glory<br>02 &#8211; Never Surrender<br>03 &#8211; The Eagle Has Landed<br>04 &#8211; Rock The Nations<br>05 &#8211; 747 (Strangers In The Night)<br>06 &#8211; 20,000 Feet<br>07 &#8211; Wheels Of Steel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">1986 A Collection Of Early Hard-To-Find Performances<\/span><\/strong> <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">Vol.2 &#8211;  Reading festival, Aug 23<\/span><\/strong> <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">(CD)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"556\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/saxonforeverdiscography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-142.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18742\" style=\"width:667px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saxonforeverdiscography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-142.png 556w, https:\/\/saxonforeverdiscography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-142-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Disc 1: Live From The Reading Festival, Reading, UK August 23, 1986 &#8211; 1.
