Bryan Adams Concert Review.
10/2/97  Melbourne Park
18 'til i die Tour


Man, what a concert, and Bryan summed it up best when he said to the
crowd, just before he played 'Can't Stop This Thing We Started' 
"It's been a few years since we were last out here and we have had
a new album since then, so that means one thing, the concert is 
gonna be longer.  Anyone expecting to be home by ten, forget it"

The crowd went wild at this proclomation and then proceeded to help
Bryan rock the night away, joining in every song.  He told stories
of his tour so far, gave examples of his Australian accent and even
took on heaklers, had one on stage to sing the song he was asking for 
"Summer of '69", well he got the first verse alright then stalled.
The next highlight was Bryan telling a story of Townsville, where,
on Australia Day they went into town and found 1 person, asking 
what was happening the answer was that it was a holiday and that 
everyone was home getting pissed.  Well Bryan had an image of the 
whole of Australia sitting at home "getting shitfaced" and that the 
women were the able to chug beers as well as men.  One brave female
answered the challenge, was taken up on stage and given a beer.  What
seemed like an hour passed before she stopped and gave the bottle 
back to Bryan.  "There is still quarter of a bottle left" he 
proclaimed much to the young ladies displeasure.

All the new and most old were played in the 2 - 2 and a half show 
where Bryan had total control of the crowds emotions and with a fine
display of showmanship he had some rather big props for "I want to be
your Underwear"  (Pic will be here later to show what I mean.)

Well, this is the prelim review, more to be added later, same with 
the Alanis review.  As well as some pics from the concert.
