On Friday March 11th I went to Kedron Wavell to see legendary NZ Australian rock group Dragon which it was my 4th time seeing as the last time I saw them was on Friday June 20th 2014 @ Kedron Wavell for the Trilogy Show and it will be 10 years on July 13th when I first saw them @ Kedron Wavell with the Choirboys, Jenny Morris and Michael Spiby. Dad took me to Cannon Hill, caught bus to Chermside and walked to Kedron Wavell. Went to Café, ordered Nachos and Sundae, rang Dad and bought Coke. Had Nachos for dinner, drank Coke, Ate Sundae, saw Paula who is one of the staff members, went to Blue Pacific Room, saw Mark, Therese, Patrick, Bernice and an lady who I have known from the gigs and talked. The show started after 8pm with Dragon coming on stage which they did 2 sets and in the first set they performed the songs that was performed by other acts who performed on Countdown like Little River Band, AC/DC, Sherbet, skyhooks and the Angels which the drummer Pete sang lead on of the songs. There was an interval which I had an Coke to drink and then Dragon came back on stage for the second set which they did the classic Dragon hits including Celebration, Rain, April Sun In Cuba and Are You Old Enough and the people were standing enjoying themselves as well as singing along to those songs. The show finished at about 10.20pm which after the show there was CD's on sale and the guys came out to sign stuff as well as getting photos with the fans which I got mine with Todd and Mark and Dad picked me up which we stopped at Maccas Cannon Hill which I had an ice cream and Coke Zero and came home. It was an AWESOME show which everyone had an great time including myself and Dragon were just AWESOME too which they played and singing great which they are sounding great as ever which I look forward to see them again soon.
