Bryan Adams - Canada Tour 2012

Bryan Adams is a famous Canadian rock singer-songwriter. It's been many years since he has done a large arena tour in his birth country, so naturally the shows sold out instantly, meaning I had to travel to Kingston, Ontario to see this legend live.
Bryan Adams is one of my favourite artists, with my favourite of his material being his second studio album, You Want It You Got It from 1982, and his soundtrack for the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. 
Bryan Adams was great live and hasn't lost any of his talent over the past decades since his rise to fame in the 80's. He can still sing great, and has switched back to rhythm guitar from when he played bass guitar on some of his previous tours.
Bryan Adams played songs from a variety of eras, from the mid 1980's, through the 90's to the mid 2000's. This made for a great concert with all sorts of Bryan Adams songs. He still has lots of energy, with him running around the stage and interacting a great deal with the audience. You could really tell that Bryan Adams was truly enjoying himself onstage. Most of the members of Bryan Adams' band have toured with him for many years, especially his exceptionally talented lead guitarist, Keith Scott, who has played with him for most of his career.
Bryan Adams was also doing a "meet and greet" option for this tour so I was luckily able to meet him before the show. He is very nice and truly genuine, as he was interested in all the fans who got to meet him that evening.
Bryan Adams really put on an amazing show and it was great to see him playing an arena rock tour after his small acoustic tour for his most recent album; Bare Bones. He is definitely a classic act that is still worth seeing!
