The show started @ 7.30pm and for the next 4 hours they did 4 sets of classic rock and pop songs from people like ELvis Presley, The Beatles, The Eagles, Buddy holly, John Cougar mellencamp, Cliff RIchard, the Four Seasons, Dion DiMucci, Roy orbison and many others and before the shows spoke with graeme which he told me that he had hurt himself during that week and during the first interval spoke with Roger which he told me that @ 4BC Spectacular in 1965 in which the Avengers were one of the acts that performed @ the Festival hall he saw the Easybeats performed on stage which he thought they were great and he mentioned that stevie wright threw the tie into the stage which Roger has it and that is amazing and said to me that he sent an scan of the program of the 4BC spectacular to Andrew Ainsworth who does the magazine Primitive Sounds as well as the website as he is an thing on the Feelgoods another Brisbane group from the 60's. The show finished @ 11.30pm and thanked the guys which they enjoyed playing there and they like the place.
