Greatest Hits Live is the third live album by the band Saxon and the first Album with new Bass-Player Timothy "Nibbs" Carter. It was released in 1990 just one year after their previous live album Rock 'n' Roll Gypsies to celebrate the tenth anniversary years of the band's successful activity career since their second Album Wheels of Steel (1980), together with a VHS of the concert. This '10 Years Of Denim And Leather' concert was later released on DVD as Saxon 'Live Legends' with the extra track Strong Arm of the Law.
