Bryan Adams makes it a night to remember in Gurgaon

He came, he performed and left crooning and swaying fans asking for more; Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams wound up his five-city India tour with a concert in the Delhi-NCR region Sunday night.Beginning his nearly two-hour gig at the Leisure Valley Park here with the 2017 hit Ultimate Love’, which seamlessly segued into the one-two punch of Can’t Stop This Thing We Started’, he went on to belt 24 more numbers from his rich repertoire of songs before going solo on being persisted by the 15,000-strong crowd.
Taking the stage after an opening act by Bollywood singer Harshdeep Kaur, Adams said, We have been coming here (to India) since 1994. It’s taken long and I’ve always asked our promoters, where is my Delhi show’?
He went on to say, I have all kinds of songs for you tonight, old ones, a few new ones, I’m not sure how much time you have but we have a long show ahead! Tonight we have the biggest party in India. And indeed, what a party it was. As Adam’s song Summer of 69′ says, for every fan – young couples, teenage children to 70-somethings, Sunday was really one of the best days of my life .Dressed in a blue T-shirt and jeans, Adams lit on fire the stage which featured an oversized video wall rolling some lyrics, self portraits and videos with his band.It was clear that the night was only going to get better as Reckless tour de force, Run To You’ followed Can’t Stop This Thing’. Go Down Rockin’ continued the brisk start until the slow evergreen ballad Heaven’. The crowd sang the first verse in unison, accompanied by only the piano.. This Time’ and a Tina Turner-less It’s Only Love’ continued to show off Adams’ stellar vein of songs. The rockstar and his long-time guitarist and friend Keith Scott sauntered over from their corners and met at centre stage to bounce their riffs off one another. Songs like Cloud Number 9′, When You’re Gone’, Here I Am’ and Summer Of ’69’. Cuts Like A Knife’, Please Stay’ and It’s Only Love’ followed.
