02/03/07 - ESTADIO CENTENARIO, MONTEVIDEO

Review by Ruben:
There is just one word to describe Bryan Adams' live performance in Montevideo, Uruguay: Awesome. He played all the big hits that made everybody jump up and down like the amazing opener 'Can't Stop This Thing We Started', and the catchy and very powerful '18 'til I Die'. Bryan was very surprised and pleased with the enthusiasm of the crowd during the whole show, and he even mentioned that the day before he went to some bars in Montevideo and saw a couple of live bands which were really good.

The incredible ballads like 'Let's Make a Night to Remember', '(Everything I Do) I Do it for You' and especially the last 4 acoustic songs made everybody sing along and were the highlights from the show. The girl invited to sing 'When You're Gone', Claudia (although same name, not the girl invited in Chile), was very excited and even gave Bryan a couple of big hugs. And, in my opinion, the best song of the night was 'It's Only Love', which Bryan played on his acoustic guitar and that gave the tune a very fresh sound. Keith shined as always, even playing guitar behind his back. Incredible.

All in all, the concert was amazing, everybody left the venue with a big smile on their face and Bryan was very happy and satisfied with Uruguay. We truly hope he comes back soon, we need to be in heaven again, please.
