After spending most of the day out, we weren’t quite sure if we really wanted to go to the club, but then we thought we might as well go and grab a bite there and if this Tribute to Queen concert which was scheduled there was any good, it would come as a bonus.
As we got to the club around 6.30pm, it started to pour and we wondered if the show would happen as it was all set up to start at 7.00pm on the main lawn. Anyway we got about our business and as we downed a couple of beers along with some fried Jumbo Prawns and Steak Kebab, the rain seemed to stop. Knowing Tolly Club and their spirit, the show must go on and so it did.
We headed to the main lawns, and though a bit slushy after the downpour, it was already filling up. As we got a place nearer to the stage, it was lights, action and music. For a second there it seemed like Freddy Mercury himself had come on stage. Rhapsody kicked off their gig with a bang and soon people were in high spirits; music and alcohol induced.
These guys, I did some reading up, are a QUEEN Tribute band all the way from the UK. Once they got started it was awesome to see how into the act they are, with the shiny spandex pants, long overcoats, wigs et al. You’d really thing Queen was up there if you were just passing through. The first half of the show ended and after a 15 minute break the act came back on stage to the theme music of Flash Gordon and then incase no one noticed, the lead singer came back on stage wearing a “FLASH” Tee, which I thought was quite cool. They really put this act together with some thought.
By the middle of their second round, people had hit the dance floor and were rocking and dancing. I mean so what if some people got a bit critical about their singing or music abilities not being that great, I thought they were awesome. They did have a huge number of people swaying to their music and that’s all that counted. I just loved the antics of the lead singer swinging the mic around and stuff. I guess he really got into the act of being Freddy Mercury.
Finally the show came to an end or so we thought till there was an encore and Rhapsody hit the stage again for three classic Queen Numbers to wrap things up to a standing ovation.
