Air Supply @ The Brisbane Convention Centre

Last Night I went to the Brisbane Convention Centre to see the legendary Australian duo Air Supply which it was my second time seeing them live as my first was at QPAC Thursday April 25th 2019 (Anzac Day) and this is the 50th anniversary tour when they first started. Dad took me to the bus stop, caught bus to South Bank, rang Dad, went to the Plough Inn, had BBQ Beef Ribs, Chips and Coleslaw for dinner, Drank Pepsi Max, went to New Zealand Natural where I had a Movie Bowl Sundae and walk to the Brisbane Convention Centre. Bought Air Supply Bag and Magnet, Bought Pepsi max and Chips, ate chips, drank Pepsi Max and went inside. The show started at 8pm with Air Supply (Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock)coming on stage and for nearly 2 hours they performed their songs from the 70's and 80's as well as 1 from the 90's and 1 from the 2000's as well as one from an new album as well as Graham and Russell telling some stories including their first meeting as well as Graham mentioning that his daughter and 3 children were in the audience and also said an poem called Rainbow which it was amazing as well as getting the audiences to sing along to the songs. The show finished at 9.55pm, walk to the bus stop, caught bus, rang Dad, got off at Carindale, Dad picked me up and came home. It was an FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT show as well as very entertaining giving the audience an great time as well as singing along to the songs and Graham and Russell still sounding great as well as singing great which they are sounding better than ever and the back up band were FANTASTIC with Pavel Valdman on drums and Aaron McLain on guitar which I love the way when towards the end of the show Graham said that the thing he is proud of that is they are and will always be an Australian band which recieved great applause which it was great to see them back in Australia as the Brisbane show was the last date of the tour so let's hope they come back again soon so if you have knot seen them please do yourselves an favour and SEE THEM which you will be impressed and amazed.
