Live! Live! Live! (1988) Review by Steven Stanley

Basically what it says on the tin then - Bryan Adams Live! This was a Japan only release in the late 80's but finally made it worldwide in 1994. Bryan's fantastic live he really is, and truth be told even though this gig is quality, he got even better during the 90's which is why it doesn't get 5 stars. Also the full show isn't on the disc. But saying that, it's an absolute treat to hear a crystal clear gig from the 80's featuring some tracks that don't get into today's setlists much if at all.

'Walking After Midnight' is the rarest song on here... hardly ever covered much by BA at all except at a few shows in the late 80's like this one. 'I Faught The Law' is one of his best live covers, so it's pretty apt that it made it to an Adams album in some form or another.

For fans of 'Into The Fire', the live version on here (taken from a different show to the rest of the CD) is stunning and features Bryan doing the song by himself on a strat without the band. The best live album Bryan's released without doubt.

Key Tracks:
I Faught The Law
Into The Fire
