Eurogliders @ Kedron Wavell

On Saturday July 26th I went to Kedron Wavell to see legendary Australian 80's group the Eurogliders which has Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch and it was my second time seeing them as my first was at the Countdown Spectacular show @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Saturday September 16th 2006. I caught two buses from Carindale as I was visiting my cousin that afternoon as it was my second cousin's birthday and had Pizza for dinner there and when I arrived @ Kedron Wavell Dad rang as well as buying ticket to see Brian Cadd and also went inside which i did some writing. The show started @ 8.30pm with the group coming on stage which was covered by flowers and for the next 1 hour and 40 minutes the group performed their classic hits from the 80's like Heaven, Groove, We Will Together as well as some new songs as well as telling stories as well as some humor and also towards the end of the show Grace jokingly said that she was angry that people were taking photos with her make up on. The show finished before 10.10pm with Heaven again which the others musicians walk through the audience while the audience sang the song and after the show Grace and Bernie came out to sell their new CD as there was only 30 left so I bought mine which they signed it and I got a photo with them and also caught a cab home. It was a FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself as well as everyone singing along to the songs and Grace sounded great as well as the group sounded and played great too and also to those who have not seen them go and see them which you will enjoy it as well as bringing back memories for those who grew up in the 80's in the era of Countdown as well as for those who have just discovered the music of the 80's you will enjoy the experience by seeing an true legendary Australian group.
