Bryan Adams

‘Guitar Hero’ would have been a fitting name for this tour; the playing was incredible by lead guitarist Scott who had a few Michael J Fox in ‘Back To The Future’ moments as he let the music take over. This is what showed the most: Bryan and his band were having a great time on stage. Extremely talented and real musicians, this concert could not be faulted. The energy was amazing as we were taken through the greatest hits. 20 years after ‘Waking Up The Neighbours’ Bryan’s vocals were as strong and distinctive as ever before. ‘Heaven’, ‘Run To You’ and ‘(Everything I Do) I Do It For You’ were firm favourites and to witness ‘Summer Of ’69? played live is unforgettable. This was the second to last date of the tour, and these guys showed no signs of stopping, delivering a crowd-pleasing 125-minute set.
