Greasy Bear
Academy 2 (Main Debating Hall)
5th July 1971

This what's on guide provides a good insight to the entertainment scene across the City at the time and features Main Debating Hall gigs by Quintessence + Greasy Bear, Yes and Trees. Also playing across the City were T-Rex, The Spinners, Rory Gallagher and King Crimson amongst others.

Dave Owen remembers:

I went to see Yes in 1971. Bassist Chris Squire received an electric shock from his guitar. He was thrown backwards. The band played on with Jon Anderson looking on in bemusement. Fortunately Chris was ok and the show continued.
