10CC @ QPAC Concert Hall

Last night I went to QPAC Concert Hall where I saw the legendary British rock group 10CC which it was my 4th time seeing them but it was my time seeing them in Brisbane as the other 3 have been at Twin Towns Saturday April 28th 2018, Friday February 28th 2020 and Saturday 10th June 2023. Dad took me to the bus stop, caught bus to South Bank, Went to the Plough Inn, rang Dad, ordered meal and bought Pesi max. Had Nachos for dinner, drank Pepsi Max, went to New Zealand Natural, ate Triple Choc Tim Tam Sundae and walk to QPAC. Bought Program, Bag and an Mug (I Don't Like Cricket), bought Coke with No Sugar, drank it and went inside. The show started at 8pm with 10CC with original founding member and songwriter Graham Gouldman, Rick Fenn, Paul Burgess, Keith Hayman and Andy Park came on stage and for the next hour and 40 minutes performed many of the classic 10CC hits from the 70's including Life Is A Minestrone, Art For Art's Sake, Good Morning Judge, The Things We Do For Love, I'm Not In Love, Dreadlock Holiday and many others as well as some album tracks from the 70's as well as the song Floating In Heaven which Graham Gouldman worked with Brian May who played guitar as well as Rick and Graham talking about some of the songs. The show finished after 9.40pm, went to the toilet, went to the bus stop, caught bus which I rang Dad twice, got off at Carindale, Dad picked me up and came home. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself and 10CC were FANTASTIC and very entertaining still sounding great as well as playing great doing the songs that has stood the test of time and still sounding great as it holds up very well to this day as great songs still endures and still appreciated it after all these years and also it was packed which proves that legendary acts are still packing them in after all this time which it's a good thing.
