Babe Ruth: Sheffield
Andy Gill, NME, 29 January 1977
TYPICAL OF A Sheffield gig is the way in which the dancing section of the audience settles down crosslegged in front of the stage to greet the band with immobility. For a band of Yes's ilk this may be a reasonable approach. For a band like Babe Ruth it's absurd.
