Six Hours was a fairly good choice for tonights main act given that Suzi is a rock chick and Six Hours give us plenty of rock. They performed on stage like it was a natural phenonenom to do and the crowd seemed to enjoy their show. Long hair, guitars with grunt and a drummer with plenty of beat were displayed tonight in the beautiful Palais Theatre.

Suzi Q started on time and in clothes that wasn't her usual leather look (she went and changed into leather a few songs into the show) and with big smile on her face, a big stage presence and a great sound and light show, it is safe to say that she'll keep coming back to Australia. Suzi told us she'd been touring for about 25 years and that she'd been here roughly 23 times and a few fans put their hands up when she asked how many punters had been to all her shows, suffice to say, a Suzi live show is one to be seen, kick yourself if you missed out.

With hits like Stumbling In, Wild Child, Your Mamma Won't Like Me, She's In Love With You and Can The Can. Suzi made the stage her playground and got the crowd leaping up to dance and have a blooming good ole time. Devil Gate Drive was a notable hightlight and her last song of the night was her tribute to Elvis Presley - Singing With Angels-Suzi told us the story about how she said no to meeting Elvis at one point early in her career because she thought she would have another chance (Elvis was her inspiration). An odd choice of song to end the night on considering her 'label' as a rock chick - it would have been nice to get everyone pumping again before departure but still Suzi did the song beautifully and its a well written song. A great performance, a great live show, sung with a fantastic live voice and it will be a show that will be in the hearts and memories of all the wild childs out there.
