Dean Vegas @ Kedron Wavell

Friday Night May 31st I Went to Kedron Wavell to see Dean Vegas the Elvis tribute performer which it was the first time nearly 6 years since Saturday August 11th 2018 which I saw his show @ Wynnum RSL. I caught the bus to Chermside, walk to Kedron Wavell, went to the Kitchen, rang Dad, ordered my meal, bought Coke with No Sugar and use my mobile. Had Rump Combo for dinner, drank Coke with No Sugar, waited, ate waffles for desert as I waited more than 20 minutes, went to the Blue Pacific Room and saw Sandra, Di and Kevin. The show started at 8.02pm with Dean Vegas coming on stage wearing the black leather which in the first set performed the Elvis hits from the 50's and 60's including Viva Las Vegas, Hound Dog, All Shook Up as well as telling Elvis stories and when they were doing Little Egypt an lady from the audience came on the stage doing the movements which was great and there was an interval where I bought an Dean Vegas Gospel CD and an Dean Vegas bag as well as getting an Coke with No Sugar where I saw Barbara who is one of the staff members. In the second half Dean came on wearing the gear that Elvis wore from 1969-77 doing songs like See See Rider, Burning Love, Can't Help Falling In Love which he walked through the audience shaking hands to the audience which he shook my hand as well as ladies giving him an cuddle as well as Victoria giving flowers as well as doing medley of requested songs too. The show finished after 10pm, Dean came out to have photos taken with the fans as well as Victoria taking them too including mine, waited downstairs, Dad picked me up, stopped @ 7-11 where I got Coke With No Sugar and came. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself and Dean sounded great as well as entertained the audience for sing alongs as well as his humour doing these great songs which he does it so well as he always put on FANTASTIC shows. He will be doing MC work during Cooly Rocks On for the Elvis shows in the Marquee and if you have not seen Dean live please do yourselves an favour and SEE HIM which you will be impressed and amazed.
