Yes Tribute band SeYeS delivered a storming 2 hour plus performance to an appreciative and enthusiastic audience yesterday evening at the second Yorview Rock Club evening. On a warm summer's evening, fans of 1970s progressive music were able to sit and have a cool beer, listen to excellent music and forget about the afternoon's disappointing England performance. Firstly, the audience were treated to the mellow sounds of the Northern Soundscapes trio for a short 25 minute set.

Then we heard the familiar sounds of the ‘Firebird Suite’, used to open Yes's 1970's shows and SeYeS launched into 'Siberian Khatru' (with the awesome guitar riff delivered perfectly by Tim Lockyer). We then heard such classics as 'Close To The Edge', 'Heart of the Sunrise' all sung extremely well, in an authentic Jon Anderson style, by vocalist Phil Bernia, before the band took a break.

The band returned to play ‘Parallels’, with Chris Bradshaw reproducing all the complex Rick Wakeman keyboard work superbly. Classics like 'Wondrous Stories' and 'The Gates of Delirium' followed. The audience wouldn't let the band leave without an encore which came in the form of 'Starship Trooper'. The rhythm section of Tim Rothwell and Pete Greenwood showed exceptional ability in providing the solid bedrock for all this intricate, complex material with all its many rhythm changes.

In every musical department this group reproduces perfectly the sounds of 1970s Yes. During the performance you were transported back to the 1970s: this gig had the authentic sounds and the atmosphere of a 1970s rock club, which is precisely what we are trying to achieve with this series of gigs.

Yes fans everywhere should see this band, they are on their way to becoming the best Yes tribute band anywhere. This was a memorable night and we hope we can put SeYeS on again next year maybe as an open air gig.
