As an avid fan of Bryan Adams since I first heard “Straight From the Heart” during a middle school dance, I was thrilled to finally see him live when he toured to celebrate the anniversary of his iconic Reckless album. The excitement was palpable, especially since I had missed the opportunity to see him perform in the ’80s, despite enjoying concerts from other legendary artists like Madonna and U2. When the tour date coincided with my 21st wedding anniversary, it felt serendipitous. With decent tickets now within my budget, thanks to my adult status, I was ready to enjoy the night.
My husband arranged for a sitter, and yes, I may have indulged in a quick nap beforehand, knowing I had to work the next day. Armed with earplugs for any potential ringing in my ears, I was all set for the concert. The night was exhilarating and educational. Here are some key takeaways from the experience:
- The Inner Teenager: Regardless of age, there exists a youthful spirit within us all. This was evident as I watched fellow concert-goers don vintage accessories while passionately singing along.
- Family Van Humor: Witnessing a minivan adorned with stick-figure decals unloading a group of tweens for a boy band concert was amusing, but seeing a similar setup for a Bryan Adams show was equally hilarious.
- Middle-Aged Fun: It turns out that adults still enjoy a good time, whether it involves drinking or partaking in recreational activities.
- The Power of Live Music: Experiencing live music invigorates the spirit, contrasting sharply with the mundane responsibilities of daily life, such as laundry or paying bills.
- Unrealistic Hopes: No matter how old we get, the desire for our favorite musician to notice us in the crowd and form a connection remains. (I assure you, I never wanted to be anything more than friends with Bryan.)
- Attention-Grabbing Physicality: During “If Ya Wanna Be Bad, Ya Gotta Be Good,” Bryan playfully searched for the right person to join him on stage, ultimately choosing the one with the most pronounced features.
- Artist Perspective: For performers, concerts are routine events, much like the daily lives of labor and delivery nurses or car salespeople.
- Timeless Classics: “Summer of ’69” continues to resonate as one of the greatest songs of all time.
Overall, attending that concert stands out as a cherished memory from the past year. Now, it’s back to reality—dinner needs to be cooked, and my kids have hockey practice soon. Plus, there’s a mystery odor in my minivan that demands investigation.
