  • Johnny_Banana was there 80% for Heaven 17 · Sun, 18 Oct 2026

    Better than I expected. Down to the electronic bare bones and all the better for it. Excellent rapport with the home crowd. Craig still has the voice while Martin has the costume and the 1975 synthesiser in reserve for the encore that's not really an encore. This is why people love the 80's and why Sheffielders love Sheffield.

  • A guest 100% for King King · Sat, 19 Feb 2022

    One of the best live acts around, with a seriously beefed up lineup. Stevie Nimmo on guitar, Zander on Bass, and Andrew on Drums, are addition/replacements to their last Leadmill Gig. These lads added another level to the harmonies and sound. The setlist was a mixture of crowd pleasers and classic oldies. Alan skilfully dealt with the good natured hecklers, adding to the evenings entertainment. From Montreal there was a delightfully heavy support group called The Damn Truth, making this a great gig overall. If you can catch the end of the tour, get your tickets sorted!

  • Snookerjulian was there 60% for Yes · Tue, 03 May 2016

    Well I went to the Yes gig last night in Sheffield, with some trepidation I might add as it's my first without Anderson and Squire and first with Downes (I had seen them a few times with Wakeman and a different keys player whose surname I forget, first name Igor if memory serves)

    I've never been one for insisting on the original personnel, it's more about how the music makes me feel in the moment and it's execution.

    I was ready to be critical but to be honest it exceeded expectation, Davison is a fine vocalist though in contrast he makes Anderson sound masculine. Billy Sherwood, who from a distance now resembles Chris Squire, isn't quite the vocalist Squire was and the presence of his bass on the more ornate parts were lacking but his interpretations of the main functional parts were fine. There were a few shaky bits (We Have Heaven, Five percent for Nothing ) Highlights:- (Machine Massiah, Heart of the Sunrise)
    I'm just being critical, apart from these few points a great gig and a faithful reproduction of the tracks. Julian Vidal
