Ten tears ago, Anonymous 1 and I headed to ace of spades to see Saxon. This was back when Ace was pre-Live Nation, and were still somewhat tolerable.

So I asked the road manager/merch guy if I could video Saxon and he was shockingly OK with it.I was sure I was going to be shut down. Well, 3 songs into videotaping, I get shut down…but that is not the end of the story.

Anonymous 1 was there with his schoeps rig and made this amazing quality recording of the entire set. The show focuses on the early albums so this is a real treat to old school Saxon fans.

My 3 songs are also on the channel/archive if you want to see me get busted.

Recorded by: Anonymous 1
Equipment used: Schoeps MK4– Nbob active cables — Tinybox into a sony M10 digitial recorder.
He also did some post processing in Adobe audition.
