YACHTLEY CREW REVIEW
​
Yachtley Crew set sail for Sydney last night, and they docked at the Metro Theatre as they brought their set to the breezy marina. The seven-piece band, brought a night of smooth sounds and nautical Groovey Good Times, and it transported us to a world of soft rock hits from the late '70s and early '80s. The nautical-themed attire, wasn't just worn by the band, as you looked into the crowd, it further amplified the fun atmosphere at the show.
​
As the lights went dark "Afternoon Delight" came on over the speakers and the crowd was singing along waiting for the band to come on stage Yächtley Crëw delivered a full-blown experience, and the band's top-notch musicianship effortlessly glided through the venue as the set kicked off with "Ride Like the Wind, Magic and Break My Stride" , and the silky-smooth vocals, groovy basslines, and saxophone were delivered with musical precision and passion.
​​
The infectious energy continued as the set sailed into "Steal Away, Heart to Heart and Dancing in the Moonlight" , and the stage presence delivered by Yachtley Crew was engaging and cheerful, and everyone was having a blast, which made it impossible not to join the party.
​​​
The voyage continued with "Hold Yhe Line , Even the Nights Are Better and Maneater" and the yacht rock canon classics made the audience sing along to every word and the smooth melodies, sophisticated harmonies, and polished, jazzy music took us on a journey through the seven seas, and the setlist brought us to our knees.
The set continued with highlights "Sailing , Reelin' in the Years, You Make My Dreams and Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" , and the rocking atmosphere had the entire venue on its feet, and each guitar riff and pounding drum beat brought raw emotion and a powerful and driving night of rock.
​​​
Yachtley Crew continued showcasing their versatility as the set continued with "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight , How Deep Is Your Love?, Rosanna and Come and Get Your Love", and their deep knowledge of the era shone through as they captivated the audience and brought a feeling of nostalgia.
​​​
The set's mood was perfectly captured as the shimmering keyboard and bassline made you groove like a summer breeze to "Rich Girl and Don't Bring Me Down", and the signature velvety vocals, told thrilling tales that sailed through the salty air.
​
The set continued, and we got a magnificent and powerful performance, on the keytar before Yachtley crew broke into "Baker Street," and Gerry Rafferty's spot-on saxophone solo drew you in. He received massive cheers from the fans, and we could not wait to hear the next epic cocktail of tracks. Yachtley Crew continued with "I'm Still Standing and Lido Shuffle" and it made the crowd dance.
