Customer Reviews:
These are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks.......2007-01-21
I was disappointed that these are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks. For example, in Colonel Bogey, the countermarch from the movie soundtrack is not included in the arrangement on this CD. Don't get me wrong, the songs are good, but I would have preferred the same arrangements as the original movies.
An outstanding compilation.......2006-08-25
This compilation is superb and a real must-buy. From Band of Brothers to A Bridge Too Far: every war movie theme is represented here. An all time classic.
The really good ones are missing........2005-07-18
While this compilation has some masterpieces such as the theme from The Great Escape and Is Paris Burning, it's missing some of the finest tracts ever written. Where is the theme from Victory and Ernest Gold's stirring epic from Cross of Iron? The closing theme from Inchon was also a feast for the ears, but it's not here. It was written by Jerry Goldsmith, one of the foremost soundtrack composers of our time. Instead we're subjected to the likes of Hanover Street and The English Patient. I'll admit Inchon and Victory weren't Academy Award winning movies, but their soundtracks were second to none. As John Stossel would say," Give me a break"!!!
"many were winners by the Academy for best scores".......2004-05-26

Saxon Crank Live !!.......2007-02-16
D-mn good live album! Right up there with Accept's "Staying A Life",Dokken's "Beast From The East" and JP's "Unleashed In The East".Saxon "Eagle Has Landed" leaves its "Eagle PT.2" and "Eagle PT.3" follow ups in the dust.Still sounds good after all these years and like a fine wine it has aged very well....Enough Said.

Look at the songlist if you don't believe me!.......2002-02-25
If you're a Saxon fan, you know how hot this is! If not, this might well be your key to the kingdom. Check this out & see if they're not one of the best metal bands ever! Smokin'!
One of the Best Live Heavy metal Albums You'll Ever Hear!.......2000-07-18
The first Saxon song I ever heard was "747(Strangers in the Night)". I loved it. Here, in the US, Saxon are very hard to find. I was overwhelmed with joy when i saw this cd in the heavy metal section of the store called "record town". I bought the cd, and when I put it on, I knew that it was worth all the 20 dollars I paid for it. This is the only live album I've heard that comes close to Judas Piest's 1979 live album Unleashed in the East. Every metal fan should have this cd(2 cd's), cause it rocks from start to finish! You won't be dissapointed!
GREAT WHITE BUFFALOW.......2000-05-09
I found this to be a real treat ,and would tell any true metal head to give it a try,you all won't be let down! This is a must for any cd collection,strike while the iron is hot!or you will miss out on a real great cd!Good luck!
Saxon Rules!.......1999-08-10
My first encouter with Saxon was 1982 when I listened to "Heavy Metal Thunder" from the album "Strong Arm of The Law." I remember that I was so impressed with their power and articulateness. Saxon still carry their power and HM spirit. Each piece on this CD is just great, but a real gem on this CD is "Denim and Leather" featuring Yngwie Malmsteen. The guilar solo battle of Denim and Leather among a virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen, a talented veteran Paul Quinn, and a new face (not now, but at that time) Doug Scarrat is nothing but awesome! Saxon is my favorite NWOBHM band and has been one of the most popular HM bands in my home country (Japan) for a long time. I just don't understand why Saxon didn't become popular in the U.S. Highly recommended!
Top notch eighties metal........1999-07-11
Great sound and great songs I will diffently be checking out their back catalog. If you like memorable songs with great riffs, solos and choruses but not too intricate then Saxon are for you. I hope they have many years left in them.

Customer Reviews:
The Eagle Has Arrived!.......2000-02-23
This is an album I've been looking for for a long time, mainly on account of the "March." This is a rousing, military theme, stated early on in the "Main Title," but only cropping up in muted form for the rest of the album, most notably in "The Hounds." But it also recurs in unusual ways: in "Eagle Goes to Church," it's played on recorders, and in one cue, it's played on a church organ. It's a splendid theme, and I wish it could get fuller development somewhere other than the end credits.
A second theme is what the notes to the album call the "obsession" theme, a pouding, rhythmic pulse that occurs frequently throughout. A third motif is a trill on an instrument called a cymbalom. That's actually quite distinctive of this soundtrack -- it's easy to recall the poignant moments of the movie being punctuated by that unusual sound. There's also a love theme that's adequate, and unusual in that it features a whistler.
Schifrin's style sometimes seems a bit naive, I think. The rhythm of the military music seems a bit too obvious, and the use of dissonance is a little too frequent to make for pleasant listening. On those grounds, I think I'd cut the cues called "Steiner," "The Eagle's Bite (Part 2)," "The Eagle's Bite," and "Dogs." The latter features the piercing whistle with which the Donald Sutherland character tames the guard dogs at the end of the movie. I thought a human being probably couldn't make that noise, and it's horrible. It sounds like someone driving spikes into my ears. The rest of the cues are wonderful.
There are occasionally echoes of others of Schifrin's work. "The Eagle's Bite" sounds like the crazy person music from "Dirty Harry," for example, and "Flight of Eagles" features snare drums with high woodwinds that is reminiscent of the incidental music to "Mission: Impossible."
Overall, I'd give this soundtrack a high rating, but it loses a star for the dissonance, and particularly the awful noise in "Dogs."
GREAT SOUNDTRACK.......1999-11-09
I've always loved this flick and the music is really evocative and adventurous. The Main Title theme alone is worth the buy.

Heavy Metal Thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-07-23
This is pure hard rock at it's best. If you never heard
Saxon or 80's british metal start here. This is like a
greatest hits live album. I bought this after seeing
them in concert and I was blown away. I only have
2 other albums by them but this is by far the best...
Every song just kicks *** and I highly recommend it!!!!
If you like compilations...........2004-07-10
Weel, this surely is one hell of a great live album. If you want itnroduce yourself to Saxon, it's a good start.
The set list (ten songs) DOES NOT contain all their best material up to that point, when they had recorded four albums (but they did not use here any song from their debut album). Also this album is the debut of drummer Nigel Glockler, a very resourceful addiction to the band, replacing Pete Gill.
It has tons of energy (altough "Wheels of Steel" gets a bit boring....). Good acquisiton, if you like compilations.
A Must Have For Any Serious Heavy Metal Fan!.......2004-03-10
SAXON are the unsung heroes of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM). They came out around the same time as IRON MAIDEN and DEF LEPPARD, but had only a fraction of those bands' success. "The Eagle Has Landed" represents SAXON as an unstoppable Heavy Metal band. What they lacked in catchy commercial hooks, they more than compensated in the heaviness and aggression departments. This is indeed a very intense album with a sound lacking in most "live" albums now-a-days. This has to be simply one of the best live metal albums of all time, along with PRIEST's "Unleashed In The East" and MOTORHEAD's "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith". It's fast, loud and uncompromisingly brutal. From the opening song, "Motorcycle Man" to the all out Thrash-before-Thrash of "Fire in The Sky/Machine Gun", this album will kick you square in the butt. An essential purchase for ANY fan of Vintage Heavy Metal!
A must have - full stop.......2003-11-09
Saxon at their very best in their early days. Sure their recent stuff is excellent, but this is their live album having their best classics, before they actually became classics. Best songs from Saxon, Wheels of Steel, Heavy Metal Thunder and the (less good) Denim & Leather all captured Live. I you think you like rock --> then this is a MUST have.
A Must Have.......2002-11-27
This CD is a must have for any Metal collection. Though the original album release has a better version of Princess Of The Night, the version on this CD does not disapoint. This CD has a great compulation of their songs to that point in time.

Album Description
Saxon's 1979 debut already hinted that a diamond in the rough was to emerge. Their second recording, Wheels Of Steel, tuned into a mega seller as Saxon went on to tour the world. The successor, Strong Arm Of The Law, and especially their double platinum release Denim And Leather (1981) reinforced Saxon's reputation. Tours of America, an appearance at the Monsters Of Rock festival in Castle Donington, and the live album The Eagle Has Landed (1982) (according to Melody Maker "one of the best live recordings of the decade") followed. Power And Glory (1983) was another classic that caused a stir, particularly in the States. Crusader (1984), oriented towards the US radio charts, was greeted by the odd critical voice that complained about Saxon's supposed mainstream ambitions. Innocence Is No Excuse in particular met with mixed reactions. "Our Def Leppard album," was Biff's retrospective comment on this unusually melodic recording. Rock The Nation and Destiny also faced fair to middling reviews. "Record company and management tried to gear us towards the American market," Biff explains the Saxon sound of those days. Following a two-year break, the band returned in 1990 with a new record contract and their impressive comeback, Solid Ball Of Rock. The two subsequent releases, Forever Free and Dogs Of War, and the ensuing tour kept the band on their toes, while Saxon succeeded in consolidating their impressive live reputation. Their 1996 live album, The Eagle Has Landed II, followed by Unleash The Beast and Metalhead, proved that the band were ready to face the new millennium, as they went on to release Killing Ground, their best-of release, Heavy Metal Thunder, the latest studio album Lionheart, and their first DVD, The Saxon Chronicles. Now they're proud to present the double live CD The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III, the latest release by a band with the heart of a lion.

Saxon lands again!.......2007-05-18
SAXON'S ORIGINAL EAGLE HAS LANDED IS ONE
OF THE GREATES LIVE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!
I ALSO LIKE THE GREATEST HITS LIVE WITH
ALL THE CLASSICS MAKES IT A MUST. THE
THIRD LIVE IS A MUST FOR ALL NEW AND
OLD FANS. SIDE ONE WITH ALL THE CLASSICS
AND SIDE TWO WITH NEWER MATERIAL SOME OF
WHICH I NEVER HEARD AND I THINK IT'S JUST
AS GOOD AS THE CLASSIC MATERIAL. THIS IS
FOR ANY SAXON OR HARD ROCK FAN! CLASSIC.
Esencial.......2006-11-25
Me encanto este disco del Saxon, la presentacion muy buena, en digipack. En segundo lugar, la seleccion de canciones, unas conocidad y otras no tanto. Algo positivo si se toma en cuenta que es el tercer disco en vivo, no siempre querras lo mismo.
La banda suena como nunca y Biff no pierde su fuerza en la voz.
Thanks Nigel!.......2006-07-27
This long time expected CD has fulfilled my expectations. I am so pleased to hear the "red baron" Nigel Glockler again with Saxon, to me, his work on drums is the trademark of the classic Saxon sound. "This town rocks" and "Frozen rainbow" are two of the songs that Nigel makes great contribution. Paul Quinn's heavy guitar sounds excellent, particulary on "Suzie hold on" and "To hell and back again". Biff has kept his voice through the years and sounds agressive and powerful. On the second CD features Jorg Michael that played drums on the Lionheart CD, and most of this second CD features songs of this one. It's great , though I wished they could have included one or two songs from Metalhead such as the title track and "Song of evil".
Great old school NWBHM.......2006-07-04
This is a wonderful live album. It has no filler all the great hard rockin songs from Saxon's past and present. I was suprised that how fresh it sounds when compiled from so many different shows. Great CD for a long drive.
SAXON FOREVER!.......2006-07-02
ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS CAN ULTIMATELY BE ONE OF THE TOP TEN LIVE ALBUMS EVER! SAXON WILL ALWAYS RULE!

Customer Reviews:
Perfect.......2002-02-07
This whole package is a must have for any metal fan. I can't say that one part of the CD was a high point, because to me all parts were a high point throughout both CDs. Saxon knows how to put on a great show!
MAGNIFIC !.......2000-01-12
This is certainly the best Saxon live material. It was recorded in 1995 during the Dogs of War tour. It incorporates the new guitarrist Doug Scarrat, which plays (very well) the guitar parts originally played by Graham Oliver, although in my pessoal opinion I prefer the style of Graham Oliver. The band is very well tuned, with powerfull guitars. The quality of this recording is amazing ! In my opinion, the high point of this double live recording are the tracks "Crusader" (With a magnific guitar solo by Paul Quinn), "Ain't gonna take it" (With an amazing and powerfull guitar riff), "The great white buffalo'' and "The eagle has landed"(With a powerfull guitar riff too). There are too a great guitar solo by Paul Quinn on the introduction of the track "Princess of the night", a guitar solo by Doug Scarrat on the introduction of the track "Wheels of steel", and a bass solo of Nibbs Carter on the introduction of "Crash Dive". All Saxon fan must have this recording, pure heavy metal !
