Who doesn’t want to see Bryan Adams on a Friday night in Ottawa?!
Trish, Vero and I headed out to the Hintonburger for a bite to eat until Trish said that Four Friends in Stittsville had a worthy burger and fries. She was right!
We ended up in the 200L close to the stage and I have to say that this is a sweet spot to view a concert. I always thought the floor was great, but it’s exciting to see a great view from up high. I will definitely look into sitting in these sections in the future.
What can I say about Bryan Adams? A Canadian institution…I don’t even own an album but clearly I need to pick some up after an AMAZING night of rock and roll. He still has it…the voice, the guitars…everything you love about a rock show, they still got it. They are touring this year to promote the 20th anniversary of the Waking Up the Neighbours album.
They had some great moments in the show…they brought up a woman who sang on ‘When You’re Gone’ with him which was great. They also had a great acoustic set with some plastic barrels used as drums.
Fascinating to see that the show ended with Bryan singing solo acoustic. It is definitely different than how most rock shows end, but I thought it was neat.
Two thumbs up for this amazing night. I wish I could have brought my parents. They would enjoyed it.
OH! I can’t forget to send some thanks to the rocking people behind us. They were on their feet most of the night which made me comfortable to stand up and dance as well.
