On this day 19 July 1992, Canadian rocker 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
The Canadian finished his British tour last night in fine style, and the party mood out front soon spread to the band.
It's taken 10 years of hard slog to reach
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 and whether or not guitarist Keith Scott's grandmother is really Welsh, he had plenty of home support.
Adams even demanded a rugby song from the 31,500 crowd, and from his reaction, don't be surprised if there's a cover version of Bread Of Heaven on the next album.
He took the band briefly to a second stage out on the pitch, 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 it was 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.
