In the ''Summer of '01 in B'lore''. Review on Best of Me - Bryan Adams

This is one collection I will cherish for my whole life,as I saw B.Adams perform live all the songs in bangalore last week. I always had loved all his songs but now on its a different experience whenever I get to hear those songs again ,after this dream come true concert.

Always rock 'n pop 've never gone hand in hand , 'n those who swear by their kind of music accuses the other kind of not to belong to a category called ''M.U.S.I.C'' . But there r few artists who 've blended these two variations perfectly to some sort of ,what can u term as ''soft rock'' 'n evokes the same hysterical passion irrespective of their orientation either towards rock or pop,like B.Adams, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner,etc.

So one can imagine the romantic wild headbanging nostalgic hysterical frenzied maddening scenes when two extremes of music share a common platform.If the charged up crowd was up jumping crushing the toes of the neighbouring fellows to one of greatest ageless rock hit ''Summer of 69'' ,it was transformed into a calm ocean of swaying hands to one of the most romantic ballad ''Everything I do.....'' (I heard the neighbouring guy envying ''I 'm missing something ,maan''...).After sometime it was confession time with teardrops falling from heaven for ''Pleez forgive me'','n weather gods too blessed the act with a thundering lightning when B.Adams started ''Cuts like a knife''. But one spice girl from Delhi had the most cherished ball of all ,when she was picked by B.Adams from the front row to duet along with him ''When You're Gone'' .It was bit of slight headbanging 'n foot crushing 'n swaying 'n sweating out for ''run to u'', ''The best of me'' 'n ''Can't Stop This Thing We Started'',''I 'm ready''. With a bit of wooing from crowd ,who never wanted him go out of sight ,to come back on stage ,belted out another funky peppy number ''The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You'' .Then later on a song dedicated to the eternal quest of every human being ''18,T'll I die'' , which lifted the spirits of everyone cutting across all the age barriers.As all good things comes to an end ,finally it was a rock 'n rolling night with ''Let's make a night to remember''.

With live act of ''Smoke on the water'' by DP a month ago, followed by ''Summer of 69'' by Adams,the act will be fullfilled if Pink Floyd happens to land here 'n perform ,if some rumours prove correct .Finally I want to thank MTV,BPL ...'n all those who bought B.Adams ,DP 'n all to B'lore....how about Bon Jovi next time ?now isnt this called greediness......GOD BLESS!!!!!
