Bryan Adams - Wednesday 14th December - O2 Arena

Brief review:  This show was postponed from earlier in the year when we suspect poor ticket sales (around the time when many BA fans had forked out for 3 nights of Royal Albert Hall tickets) had forced the date to be moved. Unfortunately this time around there was a national rail strike, so all things considered there was a decent turn out, albeit the standing pit was not sold out which made for a comfortable experience for those of us there.

The gap in shows also allowed the set to sound fresher to my ears and there were some excellent seldom played requests (Take Me Back, On A Day Like Today & Rebel) which were highlights. It's also the first time I've heard him do Christmas Time live, so that was a bonus.

An excellent evening, despite the travel hassle and the last of 6 Bryan Adams shows for me this year (it's like being back in the 90's!)

Venue and View:  Front "pit" standing  - right hand side, excellent view and plenty of breathing space
