This was Sheffield City Hall. 1974. You guessed it - the Wonderworld Tour. I found some old 35mm slides collecting dust in a box in my attic. Spent some time carefully restoring/enhancing them, and I uploaded them here for your entertainment, and in the process learning how to use Sony Vegas! Looking at these I can't believe how close you can get with a 200mm lens compared to the standard full stage 55mm view ! These were from my glory days (LOL) Some time later I started using negative material, which seemed to give more crisp images, but lost a lot of the atmosphere. Good old Ektachrome! Got some fairly decent close ups of the band from right among the mad scrum at the front. The music is from URIAH HEEP 1974-05-17 Open Air Festival Grona Lund Stockholm, Sweden.

The more famous band from Sheffield is probably Def Leppard, but that only
goes to show that being more famous simply means being more
commercial.

-
Great Great post !!!! One of my fav. Heep song. Thank you.

Though Heep were more famous in Eastern Europe than they were on
home turf, this is still bizarre.!
-
Thanks for what seemingly is the only live recorded version of one of Heeps greatest songs..with the original lineup .
Great pics !!!!!!!!!!

The lack of live Heep tapes in the UK is odd to say the least. Heep played about 450 shows there during 1970-1975 and the earliest recording to have surfaced so far is that of Preston on December 2nd, 1975.
This is really weird, considering the fact that less known bands were taped in the 70's. I'm confident that more exist out there, but haven't surfaced so far for whatever reason.
Does anyone have live heep recordings from the UK prior to Dec '75? PLEASE get in touch.... Witless
