Bryan Adams in Bratislava

As start of our holiday break in August, we went to the concert of Bryan Adams in Bratislava, on 28th July. Bryan Adams may have not been the number one rock singer in the last thirty years but he really have a collection of good songs, many more than other groups with better reputation and name. I have uploaded here a video of "Everything I do, I do it for you", a tremendous ballad, but certainly not the only remarkable song by Bryan Adams ("Cloud #9", "Summer of 69", "Can't stop this thing we started", "18 till I die" and many others).

Anyway, several things took my attention from the concert. First, the price of the tickets was unusually high for a country like Slovakia, where salaries are not very generous. That probably made that the arena was not full to receive Bryan Adams. In addition to that, the behaviour of the public was very civilised (almost cold) in some parts of the concert.

Concerning Bryan Adams himself, I must say that he looked much older than he really is. He has had difficult years and now little remains of his former face. Having said that, he was very passionate during the concert, which was more than two hours long. Probably, he knows he is taking part in his last big concert tour of his life, so he is trying to leave a good impression everywhere he goes.

In any case, it was a really good concert by a rocker I really like a lot (although my preferences are now in a different domain).
