the Avengers @ Easts Leagues CLub

ON Sunday June 30th I went to the Easts Leagues Club to see Brisbane group the Avengers which it was my 6th time this year as well as my 15th time seeing them and i had not seen them live since April 7th when I saw them @ the Old ROckers get Together at the Riverside Ballroom in New Farm. The show started @ 1pm and for the next 4 hours they did classic songs by the Beatles, Roy Orbison,Elvis Presley,Buddy Holly,Bee Gees, Cliff Richard,Chuck Berry as well as doing different songs including an Searchers medley as well as a bit of Jerry Lee Lewis, Dire Straits as well as the line up of the group is different at the moment as Graeme is on holidays but will be back by about August as Glenn is taking his spot at the moment which he plays left handed and he sang really good too. The show finished @ 5pm which I said hello To Paul,Roger and Mick which i spoke with them for a few minutes and i caught an bus to carindale then caught another bus home which Dad picked me up. The show was FANTASTIC which everyone had an great time including myself and the group sounded great as always singing great songs which it's great to see them doing different songs and that is great too which I look forward to see the Avengers @ Easts on July 12th and also to those who have not seen the Avengers go and see them as they put on a great show doing great songs which everyone enjoys themselves. set 1- Heartbeat/Runaway I Could Easily Fall In Love with You/Do You Wanna Dance/Move It/Please Don't Tease Singing The Blues That'll Be The Day Promised Land You never Can Tell I hear You Knocking All Shook Up The Wanderer/Ruby Baby Rock Around the Clock Great Balls Of Fire Suspicious Minds My Girl Come Back Again Johnny Be Goode Proud Mary It's So Easy Do You Love Me Set 2- Brown Eyed Girl Fly Like A Bird Power Of Love Crazy Little Thing Called Love Happy Together Sweets For My Sweet/Don't Throw Your Love Away/When You Walk In the Room/Love Potion No 9/Sugar and Spice/Needles and Pins I can see Clearly Stuck In the Middle Twist and Shout set 3- Sea Of Heartbreak Only the Lonely Pretty Woman Get Back Twistin By The Pool The Twist/Let's Twist Again Hey baby Young Girl Handle With Care set 4- When you Say Nothing At All Massachusetts/To Love Somebody 6 Days On the Road Take It Easy Maggie May LAst Night Don't Stop Long Cool Woman In a black Dress Already Gone
