Bryan sang from a set-list of 18 popular songs for about two-hours with fans singing these numbers like anthems from the lanes of nostalgia.
The Canadian singer, songwriter is the most popular western musician in India almost like some “Bryan Bhaiya” singing, Summer of 69, which Rolling Stone magazine once dubbed it as "almost a Hindi song now!"
The unmarried Canadian singer brought his 96-year-old mother to Shillong. During the concert Bryan mentioned his mother and said she sends her love to the fans across India. He dedicated a song for her and also for his father, who passed away recently, during the concert.
“My father passed away recently and I have written this song Shine a Light in his memory,” Bryan said after which fans switched on their mobile torches and swayed these in the air turning the whole concert arena into a some sort of garden filled with fireflies swaying to the music.
Bryan also sang some of the most popular numbers such as Everything I do I do it for you, Heaven, Cuts like a Knife, Here I am, Please Forgive me, and many others and ended the memorable concert with Straight from the Heart.
Bryan Adams has been tremendously successful in India for a very long time and all his concerts were a hit, like the one here in Shillong. His first concert in India was in 1990 and during the present India tour he would perform at Gurugram, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
"Give Bryan an Aadhar card," one fan yelled during the concert.
