26/06/97 - SHEFFIELD ARENA

Review by Steven Stanley:
This was the second BA gig I went too...no less than 24 hours after the last Sheffield gig finished there were rumours on the grapevine about him returning to the UK in June and he picked Sheffield again! This time the whole family went and it was an amazing show. At the start of the gig Bryan came out onto the b-stage first to sing 'Straight From The Heart' and 'Depend On Me'...one of the first and only times this has ever been played. As soon as he finished playing that he was running through the crowd to join the rest of the band on the mainstage with the brum beat going for the only thing...it was amazing to see!

He ploughed through all the songs again but this time stayed on the mainstage for the rest of the gig. He sang 'You're Still Beautiful To Me' which he didn't do at the last show and also this time when he sang 'Hey Elvis' there was an actual guy dressed up as Elvis in the crowd...the spotlight went on him and Bryan said 'oh my god it's Elvis I don't believe it!. Another amazing gig by the man himself...even my sister was impressed!
