Wally and the Gators show @ Moreton bay Sports Club

On Friday March 1st I went to the Moreton bay Sports Club to see local rock group Wally and the Gators which it was my 4th time seeing them and Had not seen them since Wintersun 2010 @ Kirra Sports Club on Thursday June 10th 2010 in the afternoon and also had dinner @ Moreton Bay Sports Club which I had chicken,chips and salad for dinner as I caught the courtsey bus. The show started @ 7pm which for the next 4 hours they did 4 sets of classic rock and some country stuff from people like Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cliff Richard, Little Richard and others and I saw Wally in the first set which I got an photo with him and also sat with his wife Julie and the lady partners of the band members as well as meeting Dennis, David and ANdrew which for the remaining of the night sat at their table. The show finished @ 11pm which I thanked the guys and it was an great show which everyone had an great time including myself. I look forward to see Wally and the Gators again soon and an they are an great act to see live doing great music from an great era. set 1- Lodi Little Sister Travelin Man mean Woman Blues Shake Rattle and Roll Chains Love Potion No 9 Mountain Of Love Come Back Again set 2- Bad Moon Rising Rock n Roll Girls My girl Josephine Cruzin Down The Road Lawdy Miss Clawdy Do You Wanna Dance Boot Scoot Boogie Stray cat strut/Hit the road jack Move It We've Gotta Get Out of this Place set 3- It'll be Me Route 66 Sorrow Be Bop A Lula Your Mama Don't Dance Another Saturday Night Brown Eyed Girl Around and Around Lucille Stuck On You set 4- That's Alright Mama Rockin All Over the World Hi Heeled Sneakers Trashing women Stuck In the Middle Mustang Sally All Along the Watchtower Whole Lotta shakin Goin On
