I agree. I Love BA to point. His first 3 cd's were great. The problem with Adams is that he doesn't tour enough with his band. I went to see him last year when he played like a acoustic/electric story teller set at a small venue in florida. It was a fantastic show. I would prefer him though with his electric set, rocking out to "Cut's like a knife" like a motherfucker!

I agree, but we have several visitors to the Survivor board and they excel in doing NOTHING!!!!

LOL!

I was listening to "On A Day Like Today," yesterday (that sounds confusing if you say it out loud.) Am I the only person who likes that album? I don't really follow BA message boards (and apparently no one else does, either), so I don't know which albums are considered his good ones, aside from the early classics.

Actually, the only three BA albums I own are "So Far So Good" and "On A Day Like Today" and "Live Live Live." I like them all... maybe I ought to check out some of his others one of these days. But the problem with owning a greatest hits album and a concert album is that it makes a lot of the tracks on his early albums kind of redundant.

Waking Up The Neighbors is pretty damn good as well. Like I said, Bryan Adam's is great when he tours with his band. He just doesn't do it to often anymore.

Saw him twice, must have been in the nineties. The first gig was in the sports arena in Cologne, Germany and sold out (capacity 8.000; support BABY ANIMALS). Good show, good band, marvellous Keith Scott.

Second gig was in the Müngersdorfer Soccer Stadium, Cologne a years or so later. Again sold out and approximately 50.000 attended. TEXAS and HEROES DEL SILENCIO supported. Another great gig, where they played some songs on a smaller stage right in the center of the soccer field.

I think, those years were his heydays, that endend with the release of "18 Til I Die", that never reached the level of "Reckless", "Into The Fire" and "Waking Up The Neighbours".

I am a big Def Leppard fan, and Sheffield's finest have not sounded as much as themselves as BA did on "Waking Up The Neighbours". "Don't Drop That Bomb On Me" and "Thought I Died An Gone To Heaven" are pure leppard stuff and brilliant melodic rock.
