A classic comes in at Number 3 on the RMOMN Top 5 of 2025: Knocking On Heaven's Door by The Late Night Sax Band!

The very last song played at the 6 Mar 2025 session, this one clearly resonated with a lot of folk on YouTube, who made it the Number 3 most-watched RMOMN performance of 2025.

The band consisted of Mat on vocals/guitar, Jeremy Gula on rhythm, OllieC on drums, Adrian on bass, and Rob giving us some fantastic sax solos. Love it!
