(Not that I needed a reason, still…)
Saxon will be visiting Athens in a couple of days, April the 7th to be specific.
Needless to say I’m going, it’s been several years since I last saw them.
Edit:
I just went through my ticket collection, it was December 2003;
I guess I’ve missed a few shows in the years between 😳

Anyhow, a few months ago I spotted these 2009 & 2010 Reissues of their back-catalogue and bought them.
All, of course.
I merely couldn’t resist, there is tons of *bonus material* and the prices were affordable (at least at the time, perhaps they still are)
As for the quality of the Remasters, you’d better consult with someone who has the 1st (vinyl) pressings.
Time to give these CDs a few spins 😉

April’s schedule*, not necessarily in this order:

Saxon – “Saxon” [2009 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔
Saxon – “Wheels of steel” [2009 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔
Saxon – “Strong arm of the law” [2009 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔
Saxon – “Denim and leather” [2009 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔
Saxon – “Power & the glory” [2009 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔
Saxon – “Crusader” [2009 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔
Saxon – “Innocence is no excuse” [2010 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔
Saxon – “Rock the nations” [2010 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔
Saxon – “Destiny” [2010 Remaster inc. bonus tracks] ✔

Pending from last month:
Mr. Big – “Back to Budokan” [Limited edition 2CD/2DVD set] ✔
Blue Öyster Cult – “Agents of fortune” [1999 Remaster; Digipack] ✔
Blue Öyster Cult – “Agents of fortune” [2001 Remaster inc. 4 bonus tracks] => Rescheduled for next month
Def Leppard – “Pyromania” [2-CD set Deluxe Edition] => Rescheduled for next month
Thunder – “Behind closed doors” [2010 Remaster; 2-CD set] ✔
