On this day, 19 July 1992, Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams played Cardiff Arms Park on his Waking Up The World Tour. Support was provided by Extreme, Squeeze and Little Angels.
Review - South Wales Echo
Bryan Adams started by Waking Up The Neighbours - and anybody else at Cardiff Arms Park who might be doubting he's not here to stay.
The Canadian finished his British tour last night in fine stylec, and the party mood out front soon spread to the band. It's taken 10 years of hard slog to reach this peak, and Adams is relishing in.
His swaggering two-hour set ranged from strutting rock to ballads. But he's a rocker at heart, and while the show was (pleasingly) short on gimmicks, it was never short of passion.
Robin Hood's slings and arrows have brought outrageous fortune for Adams. And he teased the crowd before half way through launching into the inevitable (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
There was a humourous banter with the band whether guitarist Keith Scott's grandmother isn't really Welsh, he had plaenty of home support.
Adams even demanded a rugby song from the 31,500 crowd and from his reaction, don't be surprised with a cover version of Bread Of Heaven on the next album.
He took the band breifly to a second stage, with a live favourite - Eddie Cochran's C'mon Everybody, before picking half-a-dozen fans from the crowd to join him for She's Only Happy When She's Dancing.
Then back to the main stage to finish with the Adams standard - Summer Of 69 - and Straight From The Heart, If there's a certain formula, few carry it off in such a no frills style.
