Bruce Springsteen AND Bryan Adams ,,,, what order should they perform !?
I know its gonna be a tough one, considering all three are pretty equal both in fanbase and album sales

Bruce first, then Bryan.
Journey would be supporting band. Or the band that is usually mentioned as "Plus Special Guests"

Journey would outdraw Bryan Adams by a landslide in my area... is this not the case in other parts of the country?

Yes....there are some people on here that overrate Bryan Adams more than BackTalk groupies overrated Journey. Bryan Adams opened for Journey and would again....no question.

Bruce closes, I don't care how much you like or hate the guy. There's just no question.

Can't there be two headliners, like at Def Leppard/Whitesnake gigs?

Well I dont think its about the hate, but rather about how late the old guy can stay up....
Last summer, Neal could barely keep his eyes open around 11pm,,,
I think Bruce would have to kick things off around 7, so he can go nitenite around 8.30

No way Bruce co-headlines with anyone from the 80s. It would have to be a "classic" classic rock icon, like Dylan maybe.

Ah, Journey with Heart in L.A., two nights at the Greek, 5,800 seating capacity X2 (and that's with a large Filipino demographic here in Los Angeles)
Bruce at the L.A. sports arena, two nights, 16,000 seating capacity X2.
I think Springsteen might be the bigger drawl despite home field advantage going to Arnel (featuring the J-Boyzzzzzz).

I'd never pay to see Bruce. Blech.

I wouldn't pay to see any of them. Although I like a lot of Bryan Adams songs.

I'd never pay to see the Stones again either. I still can't believe Journey opened for them. Escape sitting at number 1 and they along with Foreigner trying to appease Stones fans.
My first Journey concert, but not the best one by a long shot.

First of all, they would never tour together. I can't imagine Bruce with either Journey or BA. IF though, I would say first BA, then Journey and then Bruce would be headliner. (I am not a Bruce fan, but he would always be a headliner) Oh, but they would call it co-headling like when they toured with Lep

There is no time for anyone else to play with Bruce. However, if this was an all day thing it would be Bryan, Journey, Bruce IMO.

Gunbot, are you going southern on us here?

I even fucking googled it and still fucked it up.

yeah, I was dissapointed in the Stones when I saw them.

Get Mccartney, Journey, U2, and Styx on the same bill.

Bryan Adams I'm actually getting more fond of as I get older. I think I have nearly all his stuff now. You couldn't give me Bruce tickets.

I have seen Bryan Adams twice. Both times great performances. All three would be great!

Ideally, Springsteen opens, Adams goes second, and Journey headlines.

The order that they would really go on stage in 2009 would be Adams opens, Journey would play second, and Springsteen would headline.

Back in the 1980's the order would have been Adams opening, Springsteen would have gone on second, and Journey would have headlined.

Yes, Journey are still bigger in Cleveland than Adams is. Adams does do very well here. But still, Journey are bigger here than Adams.

I would imagine that Adams might outdraw Journey in Canada?

If I could turn around and sell them, then I'd take free Springsteen tickets.

But if I had to actually go to the concert, then I'd never accept the tickets in the first place.

I would have to be payed a large amount of money to ever go to a Springsteen concert.

Funny, I feel the same way about Journey nowadays......

I would pay to see Frontiers before Bruce or Bryan!

Bryan first ,Journery, then Bruce, He is the real deal, although I like Journeys music better, but he is authentic. there is no singer that is replcaing him for the 3rd time, plus he is in the fans shit the whole time, and they love it

Actually I'm amazed at how many combinations you got out of just three bands.

but you do get it dont you???

I don't think we will see all three of these together in one show, it would be like shooting all the fireworks off at the exact same time all at once. They need to spread these band's out evenly so there will be more concerts to go to then just a single great one.

Man this years tour is starting late. 35 stateside shows max before Arnel is shelved for the winter. That's one big difference between AP and the other three singers. Those guys could tour all year round, while AP seems to be fragile in colder weather. The group is definitely taking a revenue cut with this shortened tour schedule.
