Last Saturday October 20th I went to Kedron Wavell Services to see the tribute show to Kenny Rogers,Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson called Kings Of Country which this act is from the USA and I also bought the ticket on the wednesday. The show started around 8.10pm with Phillip Bauer, Marion Deaton and Marty Edwards doing the hits of Johnny, Willie and Kenny and in Marty's performance he did an dedication of the lady to Dell and les who are celebrating 49 years of marriage in December which he gave them an rose in the first half of the show. there was an interval which i bought an Coke and chips and in the second half Philip, Marion and Marty did more the biggest hits and during To All the Girls I loved Before an lady named Wendy came on stage which was great. The show finished after 10.30pm which after the show Marty,Phillip and Marion come out to sign autographs as they had CD's and photos on sale and I bought the photos and got them signed as well as having photos with them as well. I saw an young lady named Alicia who I knew from the shop back in the mid 90's and had not seen her in over 10 years which she is well and is an teacher now @ brisbane State High School. The show was FANTASTIC which i had an great time, the back up band were great and Marion,Phillip and Marty were just FANTASTIC singing great and doing those classic songs very well. I look forward to see this show again and to those who have not seen it go and see it as it's an FANTASTIC show and well worth seeing. set 1- Phillip Bauer- Folsom Prison Blues Get Rhythm Sunday Morning Coming Down Ghost Riders In the Sky wreck of the Old 97 Marion Deaton- Whiskey River Angel Flying close to the ground Mama don't Let You babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys Seven Spanish Angels Better Places Like this marty Edwards- Something's Got A Hold On me Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town Lady Just Dropped In She Believes In Me set 2- Phillip Bauer- Big River Man In Black Walk the Line Ring Of Fire Marion Deaton Good Hearted Woman Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain Sweet Baby Arms Always On My Mind On the Road Again Marty Edwards- Islands In The Stream Lucille The Gambler To All the Girls I loved before In the Sky God Bless Australia Help me Make It through the night
