Last night I went to Kedron Wavell Services to see legendary Australian singer-songwriter Glenn Shorrock which it was my 7th time seeing him live as I first saw Glenn with the Twilights and Axiom @ the Long Way to the Top concert @ Brisbane Entertainment Center on Tuesday September 10th 2002, 2nd was on his own @ Kedron Wavell On THursday April 8th 2004 which I got an autograph and an photo with him, 3rd was with Beeb Birtles and Graham Goble @ TWin Towns on Saturday June 25th 2005, 4th was @ QPAC concert Hall with Wendy Matthews and Doug Parkinson on Thursday September 8th 2005, 5th was @ the Countdown concert with Birtles and Goble on Tuesday August 21st 2007 and 6th was at the Grease musical with Frankie J Holden,Wilbur Wilde and Michelle Pettigrove @ the Convention Center on Saturday August 16th 2008 which i went with my friend Matthew Stewart. The show started at about 8.10pm with Glenn Shorrock coming on stage starting off with the Beatles song Please Please Me and for the next hour and 25 minutes would perform classic hits from the Twilights, Axiom and Little River Band as his version of the BobbY Darin hit Dream Lover as well as telling some stories of his career and having an great sense of humor as well as having an great band which they played great and everyone singing along with the songs which it's great. The show finished @ 9.25pm and after the show waited near the backstage door to get an autograph from Glenn Shorrock which I got an autograph and an photo with him and I asked him about the Twilights and Axiom which he said there is no plans for the Twilights to get together at the moment but likely there is plans for Axiom as he wants to do shows with brian Cadd and saw Leigh and Michael my gig friends which they are well. It was an FANTASTIC show and everyone had an great time including myself as well as Glenn still singing and sounding great at the age of 68 and also to those who have not seen Glenn Shorrock go and see him as he puts on an great show which I'm sure you will be impressed. set List- Please Please Me Needle In A Haystack(1966 with the Twilights) Arkansas Grass(1969 with Axiom) A Little Ray Of Sunshine(1970 with Axiom) It's A Long Way There(1975 with Little River Band) Emma(1975 with Little River Band) Lady(1978 with Little River Band) Dream Lover(1979 solo hit) Seine City(1976 with Little River Band) Reminiscing(1978 with Little River Band) shut down Turn Off(with Little River Band 1978) Home On A Monday(1977 with Little River Band) Help on it's Way(1977 with Little River Band) Cool Change(1979 with Little River Band) Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End)
