Monday 09 May 2022. BRYAN ADAMS live at The Royal Albert Hall. Bryan Adams plays the first of three shows at this iconic venue. Each night, Bryan will perform one of his classic albums in full in the first set , plus a selection of his greatest hits from a staggering back-catalogue in the second set. His biggest selling album is actually "Reckless" with over 12 million sales worldwide so expect the greatest hits set to include the six hit singles from that album. Monday 9 May: Cuts Like A Knife (1983) Tuesday 10 May: Into The Fire (1987) Wednesday 11 May: Waking Up The Neighbours (1991) i have seen Bryan Adams over 20 times since the 1980s, including when he headlined Wembley Stadium in both 1992 and 1996...and at a charity show at The Royal Opera House in 2002 where Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros were the support act...and a few moths later Joe Strummer died. Bryan Adams 15th studio album, ‘So Happy It Hurts’, released on 11 March 2022. Bryan Adams has sold over 65 million albums worldwide over the past 40 odd years. ------------------- Like Eric Clapton a couple of days ago, the venue is rammed solid sold out. It is arena floor standing tonight,so that creates a great buzzy atmosphere. Plenty of females here still swooning over Bryan. BRYAN ADAMS & band arrived on stage at 7.45pm and played a show lasting 2 hours 10 mins over two sets of 45 mins and 85 mins. There is a lowered platform extension all across the front stage with microphones at front middle, and both corners so Bryan is often very close up to the fans. There is a classic American car behind all the bands equipment. As usual all the band are in black tops/t-shirts and black trousers/jeans. Loads of catchy singalong soft rock hit singles played by Bryan Adams tonight. Along with a few album filler type tracks. A great show. Full BRYAN ADAMS setlist play tonight...
