Rock 'n' Roll Gypsies is the second live album by the band Saxon, released in 1989 by Roadrunner Records. It was the first album produced by Biff Byford. On the album is writing "Recorded at Budapest Sports Hall and on the road in Eastern Europe", but the Budapest concert (on May 15, 1988) was the only concert on this tour in Eastern Europe. After the Destiny Europe and US tour from May 3, 1988, til September, 3, 1988, Nigel Durham and Paul Johnson play their last Saxon concert at September 3, 1988, at Omni Club, Oakland, California, US. The lineup (with Nigel Glockler and Timothy "Nibbs" Carter) on the cover is the new lineup from 1989, when the album released, not the lineup from the Live-Performances on the album. In 2001 it was re-released with a different cover and two additional tracks, and with production credited to the whole band and not just to Byford.
