Saxon, Slagthuset Malmö

1 h 45 min, 22 songs and not a dry eye. Mighty Saxon with Nigel Glockler behind the drums did one of the best gigs I have seen and this at a sold out Slagthuset in Malmö.

They played the whole “Wheels of Steel” album from first to last song. But there was a plus menu during the evening including “Dogs of war”, the song with a really good groove on the hi-hat and “And The Bands Played On” and many more. It’s not often that an “older” band well into their career releases an album as good as Saxon’s latest “Hell, Fire and Damnation” and they played dito song but also “1066”. Maybe even two upcoming live classics.

Behind HMS Glockler is an experienced drummer with a solid groove. Nigel is a joy to see and hear. Yours truly had a nice chat with Mr. Glockler before the concert in Malmö and it will be in an upcoming issue of my drumzine with exclusive pictures. It is difficult to put into words an evening that everyone will remember for the rest of their lives and most people who left Slagthuset this evening had a satisfied smile on their faces.
