Dean Vegas @ Coolangatta Tweed Golf Club June 12th 2016

On Sunday night June 12th I went to Coolangatta Tweed Golf Club to see Dean Vegas which it was my 5th time seeing him live and had not seen his show since Saturday February 9th 2013 @ Mt Gravatt Bowls Club. Dad took me to the club, signed in, went inside, drank Pepsi Max, met Dawn, use mobile, bought Dean Vegas CD and talked. The show started at about 8.30pm with Dean Vegas coming on stage wearing the Army uniform when Elis was in the Army as well as later in the set wearing the black leather when Elvis did the Comeback special and performed many of the classic Elvis songs in the first set which he would walk through the audience shaking hands as well as kissing the ladies and in that first set Dean's guitarist did Route 66 and also there was an interval where I saw the bloke from Melbourne as well as Geoff Skewes from the Vibrants and his wife Heather. The second set Dean the Vegas Period costume which he performed more of the classic Elvis songs and in that second set two young ladies were dancing on stage for 1 song and 4 blokes came on stage for another song which was FANTASTIC to see. The show finished before 11pm, got autograph and an photo, Dad picked me up and went back home to Brisbane after midnight which we stopped at the petrol station on the way which I had an Coke Zero. The show was FANTASTIC which everyone had a great time including myself and Dean sounded great as always as he always put on an FANTASTIC show doing those Elvis songs and I look forward to seeing Dean again soon which to those who have never seen Dean Vegas live do yourselves a favour and see him. That was an great way for me to finish the Cooly ROcks On 2016 to see Dean and I enjoyed the gigs I went to and look forward to CRO 2017 which will be great as well as looking forward to the shows as well.
