On Saturday February 9th I went to the Mt Gravatt Bowls CLub where I saw the Elvis tribute performer Dean Vegas which it was my 4th seeing him live. the show started at about 7.50pm with the support act Dr hook tribute show which they did an really good set and there was an interval. then Dean Vegas came on stage and for the next 2 hours he did 2 sets doing the classic Elvis songs as well as changing stage clothes from the gold and black gear to the blue leather gear and the Las vegas period gear and during Love Me Tender an guy who is 80 years old was doing the singing while Dean was walking through the audience shaking hands and kissing the ladies as well as during Little Egypt an lady name Jules came on stage doing the dancing which she was great and also even gave teddy bears to the kids in the audience which was wonderful. The show finished around 10.25pm and after the show Dean came out to sign stuff like Cd's, Photos and Posters which I got my poster signed and an photo with him. the show was FANTASTIC and Dean put on an FANTASTIC show with an great back up band as well as having an great sense of humor and also told some stories and also everyone had an great time including myself and to those who have not seen Dean Vegas live go and see him as he puts on an great show and does an great job doing an tribute to Elvis presley.
