I saw Bryan Adams in Glasgow's Hydro- he wore a kilt
Canadian superstar Bryan Adams declared it was great to be back in "Bonnie Scotland" as he showcased his incredible career to fans at the Hydro tonight. The legendary singer flattered the Scottish fans by donning a kilt as he launched into new song Roll With The Punches. Familiar territory quickly returned with the anthem Run To You. He then said: 'Hello Glasgow, how are you? 'Got lots of songs to play for you tonight. 'Great to be back in Bonnie Scotland.' And the fans were delighted to welcome the star, especially when he performed an acoustic version of Cloud Number Nine. It showed off the 65-year-old's voice beautifully. Raspy and soulful, it's the perfect instrument for any rock anthem. Having a nostalgic moment, the singer then said: 'I was thinking about the first time I ever came to Glasgow. 'I'm pretty sure the first time was with Tina Turner.' Introducing their 1985 duet It's Only Love, he added: 'We lost her a couple of years ago which was a great loss to music. 'A great loss to me because she was my friend.' A touching moment was followed by the crowd taking the spotlight on the big screen for You Belong To Me which proved to be hilarious. READ OTHER BRYAN ADAMS REVIEWS: Review of Bryan Adams at Glasgow Hydro in 2022 Review: Bryan Adams at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow in 2018 A sense of intimacy was created in the venue throughout the show with clever stage lighting used to make the Hydro feel smaller. But the lack of big screen action meant the audience missed out seeing some of Adams' stage performance up close. It wasn't needed however for When You're Gone - his 1998 duet with Melanie C - which had the crowd singing in unison while Adams carried the tune acoustically. A good songwriter, a talented artist, and a voice like no other, there isn't much not to like about Bryan Adams. He's a solid performer who never fails to put on a spectacular live show. Taking requests from fans, he surprised with a cover of The Proclaimers' I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - quite fitting for his stage attire. Playing for well over two hours - what else would you expect from a legend? - he of course, inevitably gave the moment all 90s music fans waited for…that song from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You spent 16 consecutive weeks at number one in the UK for a reason. The gorgeous ballad is an absolute anthem and still sounds as powerful today as it did in 1991. Finishing off in style with The Summer of 69, he then walked through the audience to the back of the arena to perform Straight from the Heart and All For Love from a smaller stage, it was a moment to remember. He then signed off: "You've been wonderful." No Bryan, you've been wonderful. @glasgowtimes We were out reviewing the legendary singer Bryan Adams tonight. He performed this Scottish anthem by The Proclaimers. How do you think he did? Full review, visit Glasgow Times online. ♬ original sound - Glasgow Times

Review: Bryan Adams wows fans at Aberdeen's P&J Live
It was the summer of '85. Not quite as catchy as a certain other year in Bryan Adams' repertoire, but unforgettable all the same. That was the year the Canadian rocker took to the stage at Live Aid in Philadelphia, guitar in hand and mullet in full flight, and played like his life depended on it. Forty years on, and while the hair's changed, the energy hasn't. Sunday night's stop at P&J Live marked his return to the Granite City on the Roll With The Punches tour, and found the 65-year-old in fine form. The hair might be greyer but it's still that same rasping voice, and that same refusal to phone it in. This was a masterclass in how to do arena rock properly. No dance routines, no lasers spelling out his name. Instead just a killer band, a wall of songs, and a frontman who still seems to be having an absolute blast (as did the crew operating two giant inflatables that floated across the arena). The crowd, a healthy cross-section of those who remember buying Reckless on cassette and their offspring dragged along for education, lapped it up. Before he was even halfway through the set, it was already a reminder of just how deep the Bryan Adams songbook runs. Run To You had the crowd air-guitaring from the first riff, while Heaven left them misty-eyed. And yes, Summer of 69 still gets the biggest cheer of the night. Long-time guitarist Keith Scott is Adams' secret weapon. He makes it all look easy – effortless solos and the sort of tasteful playing that guitar magazines quietly worship. Their chemistry onstage is part old-school rock 'n' roll, part double act, and completely genuine. By the time the phones were out (torches, not TikTok – thankfully) and Everything I Do (I Do It For You) rolled around, it was full singalong mode. And honestly? It's still a belter. The 'Groover From Vancouver' and his band, all in kilts, also launched into a version of 500 Miles, which won over everyone. There was new material too. Roll With The Punches and the poptastic Make Up Your Mind slotted in nicely and proved Adams isn't just relying on past glories. But it's those big, heartfelt anthems that really brought the crowd together, and the Aberdeen audience sang like their lives depended on it. In a nice moment at the end of the night, Adams left the main stage and walked to a small B-stage at the rear of the arena and performed the gorgeous Straight From The Heart and All For Love in a stripped-back acoustic way for those in the back. It was a simple gesture, but a classy one, and the intimacy of that short set within a set felt genuinely special. Bryan Adams doesn't do gimmicks. He does gigs. And last night, Aberdeen got a great one. He might not be feeding the world like he was in 1985, but Bryan Adams is still giving people something to believe in. And in 2025, that's no small thing.
