ReviewsQ (2/00, p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Donnington 1980 was their performance peak and nearly 20 years on, 'Wheels Of Steel' remains a lost AC/DC-creaming classic."

Additional informationRecorded live at the Monsters Of Rock Festival at Donnington, England in 1980. Liner Note Authors: Peter Quinn; Graham Oliver; Steve Dawson . Recording information: Donnington (08/1980). When they stormed the stage for the inaugural Castle Donington Monsters of Rock festival in August 1980, Saxon was at the top of their game and riding the crest of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. But what then seemed like only the first major achievement in a soon-to-be-legendary career sadly proved to be its highlight, as the band gradually fell from grace in the next few years. For what it's worth, however, Live at Donington captures Saxon at their concert fiercest, overcoming technical difficulties and a less-than-perfect sound mix to deliver a dazzling performance. Classics like "Motorcycle Man," "Stallions of the Highway," and "Wheels of Steel" are made all the more exciting by the uniqueness of the original event and the band's tangible surge of adrenalin at being there.
