The Australian Buddy Holly Show and the Girls Of Rock and Roll Show @ the Queen Elizabeth Stage

On Friday afternoon I went back to the Queen Elizabeth Stage to see the Australian Buddy Holly Show for the second time that week as I saw Chris at Twin Towns and the Girls of Rock and Roll with Jodie Joy which it was my first time seeing her which Chris had told me a bit about her at Twin Towns. The show started at 1.15pm with Jodie doing an set of the female singers clasics by Dusty Springfield, Connie Francis and Wanda Jackson and the Chris Knight came on stage doing many of the Buddy Holly classics as well as other rock classics by Elvis Presley, Ritchie Valens, Jerry Lee Lewis and at the end of the show when Chris was doing Johnny Be Goode Jodie joined him on stage doing the song. The show finished at 2.45pm, had a look at Pawnbroker shop where I bought records and walk back to the Blue C. It was FANTASTIC and ROCKING with an FANTASTIC set by Chris as well as an FANTASTIC set done by Jodie backed up by a great band with Bill Hillman on guitar, Gail Kelle on bass, Graham on piano and Les on drums and everyone having an great time including myself which I always enjoy seeing Chris live and is worth seeing live again and again as he played great music of an great era in rock and roll. If you have not seen him live please do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you will love it. set List- Jodie Joy- Let's Have A Party It's My Party Stupid Cupid Where The Boys Are Tough Lover Lipstick On Your Collar I Only Want To Be With You Da Do Ron Ron Australian Buddy Holly Show- Peggy Sue It's So Easy Maybe Baby Ready Teddy Everyday Heartbeat Rave On Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On La Bamba Raining In My Heart True Love Ways Roll Over Beethoven Be Bop A Lula Summertime Blues All Shook Up It Doesn't Matter Anymore That'll Be The Day Early In The Morning Oh Boy Johnny Be Goode with Jodie Joy Peggy Sue
