Last Wednesday I went to the Elvis Precinct in Coolangatta to see the Elvis tribute Elvis The Best Of the 70's That's The Way It Is Plus The Concert Years and it's an tribute to the period in the 70's when Elvis Presley was performing live as well as doing the documentary That's The Way It Is which was shown in 1970 as well as ELvis performing in Las Vegas up to 1976. The show started at 7.30pm with Kay Shannon doing the intro to the acts and the first act was Che Orton which he performed the Elvis songs in the That's The Way It Is documentary including Suspicious Minds , Sweet Caroline, Heartbreak Hotel, Words, Mystery Train/Tiger Man and many others and then Brendon Chase then came on after Che which he performed the songs he performed during the 70's concert years including Never Been To Spain, Promised Land, You Gave Me A Mountain and many others backed up by an great band Tributes In Concert Band which they played very well and sounding great too. The show finished at 9.10pm, the people who the VIP's got the photos with Che and Brendon first and then others like myself then got photos with them which was great, rang up Dad, went to shop where I bought Coke Zero with no sugar and went back to Blue C. It was FANTASTIC with great singing and great entertainment by both Che and Brendon which they do Elvis very well and do it respect which it's very important and also as I mentioned the Tribute In Concert Band played very well and sounding great with the back up singers who sounded so great as well as the musician recreating the era which they did it so well too as well as Kay doing an great job as compere. I Look forward to see Che and Brendon at a show in the future.
