Here's a nice little concert review I found about a concert in Adelaide in Australia in 2003:
Adams sways 'em and slays 'em

FROM the opening song, Here I Am, Bryan Adams proved he is a stayer in the rock 'n' roll industry.
For two hours Adams seamlessly moved from electric to acoustic guitar and back again with a relaxed, free-flowing array of his greatest hits - among them Run to You, The Best Years of My Life, Cuts Like a Knife, 18 Till I Die, (Everything I Do) I Do It for You and Can't Stop This Thing We Started.
After 25 years in the business, he was relaxed and in control, doing what he does best.
This was a grass roots rock 'n' roll concert. No fancy lighting, no pyrotechnics, no fancy costumes - just excellent performers doing their stuff.
The audience loved it, knew all the words and sang along.
The awesome guitar work of Keith Scott was a highlight, in full riff for the rock numbers, and haunting in the ballads.
Adams demonstrated a sincere appreciation of his fans and responded to the audience on a personal level.
He is no remote superstar. Adams loves his fans as much as they love him.
A treat for those at the back of the stadium was the first encore when Adams and band appeared on a second stage and belted out a long medley of vintage rock 'n' roll hits.
Then back to the main stage for a final encore - Adams alone on stage with just acoustic guitar for an almost intimate cabaret-style performance.
This was rock 'n' roll at its best.
And interesting to note that at least half the audience hadn't even been born in the Summer of '69.
