Amazing show

ooopss didn't bring the camera cord with me so can't show pics till we get home but just have to share how absolutely mindblowing the concert tonight was.

We went to the aus Post 200 birthday celebrations. Must admit it started very slowly. the warm up band was supposed to be doing a tribute to Aussie Rock. Hhhhhmmm maybe a tribute to every dingy really, really bad pub band ever. I have seen some average pub cover bands in my time and they were up there with the average! Actually thats not true, the band were really really good. just think they picked up their 2 singers from a karaoke bar somewhere and one of them was trying to dance but had no rhythm whatsoever - looked like a cross between Peter Garrett and that girl on the dance floor who looks like she has had too much to drink and dances by herself.

Anyway after getting our ears bashed and listening to them destroy some aussie Crawl, Divinyls, dragon etc the fun started.

Jessica Mauboy came out and sang about 5 songs. she was very good and crowd loved her but very short set. (and whose idea was it to put the stage on a floating pontoon so that people who get seasick like me have a lot of trouble watching the show!)

Anyway after that David Campbell came out with a 12 piece band and he was totally amazing. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Starting with a set of swing songs. then went into a set of rock stuff. He is such a wonderful performer and had the audience totally involved. He sang all my favourite songs and (after me dreading he may not sing it) finished with the song Shout - with a totally choreographed fireworks show. SOOOOOOOO COOOOOOLLLL. He was not only a great singer but he is an entertainer. He was very funny and boy does he do a good Jimmy Barnes impersonation. ~L~ So missed you Miss Jane - no fun sitting there bopping along by myself!!!!!! Tony was there but he didn't bop once! Hmmm got to work on that!
