of unforgettable rock 'n' roll. Shot the evening of August 26 2000 Live Ireland finds Adams soaring on performances of his chart-topping hits. Tracks: Back To You 18 Till I Die Can't Stop This Thing We Started Summer Of 69 It's Only Love (Everything I Do) I Do It For You Cuts Like A Knife When You're Gone She's Only Happy When She's Dancing I'm Ready Heaven Blues Jam (If Ya Wanna Be Bad Ya Gotta Be Good/Let's Make A Night To Remember) The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You Don't Give Up Cloud Number 9 Run To You Best Of Me Please Forgive Me
stops on his massive world tour in 2000. Adams, the gravely voiced "Groover from Vancouver", rose to prominence in the 1980s with rock hits such as "Cuts Like a Knife" and "Summer of '69", but has more recently been transformed into something of a Hollywood troubadour, scoring hits with songs such as "Everything I Do, I Do It For You" (fromRobin Hood Prince Of Thieves) and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" (fromDon Juan DeMarco). Flanked by drummer Mickey Curry and guitarist Scott on guitar, the trio perform amidst the stately surroundings of Slane Castle. Bryan and his band cover most of the singer's vast repertoire, including "18 Til I Die", "Heaven", "Run to You", "Can't Stop This Thing We Started", "Best of Me" and his recent hit with Mel C, "When You're Gone" (for which the indefatigable songstress pops in unexpectedly for a croon). Adams proves he is a confident and charismatic host, bringing fans up on stage to sing with him, cracking jokes and generally behaving like soft rock's "Mr. Nice Guy". Other musical guests are drafted in throughout the show, namely Davy Spillane and Chicane's Nick Bracegirdle. The crowd show their appreciation by singing well-known lines when the band fall purposefully silent and holding their lighters aloft for the more poignant moments. There are not a lot of musical adventures in Adams' music--just slightly anachronistic and often clichéd formulas--but for the 56,000 people watching at Slane Castle (many of them surprisingly young and enthusiastic), it certainly seems to do the trick.On the DVD:though the concert gives a good profile of Adams and his music, the extras on the DVD struggle to be quite so entertaining. The accompanying booklet is colourful enough with a few bad photos of Bryan inside, but is intensely uninformative. On the disc there are backstage sections, which show him rehearsing to a crowd of two, and the "nerve wracking" moments just before he goes on stage. As insights go, these are banal to say the least. The interview section also misses a great opportunity to ask the singer about a 20-year career full of big hits, concentrating instead on such racy and profound topics as pre-gig nerves and favourite song. The gallery of photography--some shot by the excellent Anton Corbijn--is tastefully done and there is also the option to view five of the songs from the 360-degree static view, a facility that is a novelty but hardly captures the moment. There is an opportunity to go "interactive" with Bryan by placing the disc into your PC.--Paul Sullivan

Advantages: Extra Features are brill!! Disadvantages: Should have used his full band for this event.
...BryanAdams has been a very popular draw in Ireland for years and it was no surprise to me when it was announced he would play Slane Castle,in Co.Meath,Ireland.Slane is the biggest outdoor event in Ireland,a natural amphitheatre set on a beautiful estate with Slane Castle to one side.
This was the Irish leg of Adams world tour,and in true Irish style,the thousands of fans were once again in form for a great nights entertainment by one of the worlds best rock vocalists.
The camera work was superb,capturing the atmosphere which had reached fever pitch by the time the band took to the stage.
Guitarist Keith Scott,Drummer Mickey Carey and the man himself arrived onstage complete with life size balloons that they kicked into the crowd and then the opening riff to "Back To You" began.The crowds immediately...

Advantages: The song choice and the ease of use Disadvantages: The price
...This is quite possibly the best DVD I have ever brought =]. I was doing some early christmas shopping yesterday and decided to take a gander in HMV. Being a BryanAdams fan myself, Its only natural that I would notice this dvd on the far shelf lol. Upon looking at the price tag it said £23.99 O.O. Yes .. it shocked me too.
Personally I paid the full amount because I love bryanadams and his music, although you may feel differently.
When I got home, I proceeded to play the DVD when I came across a wide range of features.
First, I found that the dvd was about learning to play Bryanadams songs lol hence the title.
The DVD teachs you 5 classic rock anthems that include 'Summer of 69' 'Run to you' 'Its only love' 'Cant stop this thing we' and started.
Each song is clearly explained note for note with this award winning...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Boring, Same Old Songs Rehashed, Embarrassing Lyrics
...of us have heard before. They're all especially reminiscent of BryanAdams' MTV unplugged album thanks to their lightweight musical compositions and acoustic guitar melodies. There's nothing wrong with any of these tracks; they're all perfectly pleasant to listen to. But I don't expect BryanAdams, after thirty years in the music industry, to produce perfectly pleasant songs. I expected so much more.
The only song on the album to actually stand out has to be "Oxygen" though not in a good way I'm sad to say. The music starts out enjoyably enough with a slightly more upbeat tempo than the previous tracks accompanied by a slight variation in percussion throughout too. Where the song gets embarrassing is when we reach the chorus: "Oxygen, every moment, oxygen, every day, I can't live without it no, don't take it away. I need to breathe...
