I went to the Aztec Restaurant where I had Nachos for dinner, went to Baskin and Robbins where I had Royale Chocolate Rainbow Sundae for desert, walk to the Elvis Marquee, went inside and use mobile. The show started at 8.30pm and for the next 1 hour and 40 minutes the band performed many of the Stones classics including Jumpin Jack Flash, It's Only Rock 'n'Roll, Get Off My Cloud, It's All Over Now, Satisfaction as well as some album tracks with the male lead vocals doing Mick Jagger doing most of the lead with the backing female singer doing lead on some of the others and the male lead singer walking through the audience as well as the movements. The show finished at 10.10pm, rang Mum and walk back to Twin Towns Sebel. It was an FANTASTIC show which the band were FANTASTIC with great playing and singing as they did the Stones songs very well as well as very entertaining and also giving the audience an great time which we did. I look forward to seeing the band again in the future.
