I couldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams that I’ll be able to go to a Bryan Adams concert when I came to Germany! In fact, I didn’t even know about it till a week before the conert. Thanks to Shah Rukh Khan, and his later-got-cancelled-concert in Germany (Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt) Temptations Reloaded, I had gone to buy tickets for which at Hugendubel – that I came to know that BA was performing in Berlin the next week, which was too much a temptation to resist. And tickets for the main standing hall being available for Euro 50 (Rs 3500 approx), it was still saving me a hell lot from the SRK concert (Euro 80!).

As I posted earlier, this concert was the main reason for my Berlin trip, and after checkin in the U-Inn Berlin hostel at Frankfurter Allee at around 6PM, I was off for the Velodrom, which was only 2 S-Bahn stops away from there. The excitement was clearly visible in the air, and all BA fans were busy shopping merchandise up for sale. I was pleasantly surprised to see that not many people were in there by that time (around 7 PM), which gave me the opportunity to base my ass very close to the stage (around 20 feet away ).

BA arrived at 9, leaving us to be tormented by some band for about 40 minutes before, but boy, wasn’t it worth the wait! The 2 giant screens on either side of the centerstage showed him coming out of the dark, flanked by a battery of bodyguards and files of screaming fans!

I think the pictures below and the videos of his performance in my following posts can speak a lot more than what i can write here.
