Music legends coming to North East during 2022 from Dionne Warwick to Barry Manilow.

This resulted in Bryan breaking up laughing a couple of bars in and having to restart, at which point I felt very much like the besotted 15-year-old whoвЂ™d gazed at him in Gateshead nearly 30 - THIRTY! - years ago. Please Forgive Me was the third and final crowd number after some amusing banter with the audience about why it was being requested. I enjoyed this as much for the juxtaposition as for the fact that the latter is a cracking track from Reckless that IвЂ™d been hoping to hear. Romantic relationship ballad IвЂ™m Ready was asked for by a loved-up couple first, and was swiftly followed by a request from someone else for One Night Love Affair. After playing Somebody in a terrific six-song encore, Bryan noted that the guitar heвЂ™d played it on was the same one heвЂ™d recorded the song on back in 1984.Д«ryan introduced a crowd requests segment of an impressively long two-hour-plus set by saying that with 16 albums to his name and at nearly 63, he tends to forget some of his songs. Heaven was a glorious singalong, and mood-boosting anthem Summer of 69 nearly lifted the roof. Much of 1984 album Reckless got an airing, to my delight as itвЂ™s one of my desert island discs. Third up and the distinctive intro to Run To You had the crowd screaming. There was plenty of newer material from BryanвЂ™s most recent two albums, but the sense we were in for a treat from the back catalogue was set early on as the opening chords of CanвЂ™t Stop This Thing We Started rang out second song in. This turned out to be joyous not just for proximity to the action but because I was able to see the facial expressions of Bryan, who was chatty and engaging throughout, and his band - and they clearly loved their Newcastle reception.Д«ryan Adams and Keith Scott at Newcastle's Utilita Arena on the So Happy It Hurts tour, (Image: Newcastle Chronicle) It was standing all the way for me though - and I was lucky enough, and arrived early enough, to get very close to the front.

Since then, IвЂ™ve seen all his UK tours and was excited to arrive at the Utilita Arena to take in So Happy It Hurts, which is a good summary of how I feel about being able to go to gigs again. I was head over heels by the end: with watching rock music live, with the intoxicating euphoria of being in a crowd all singing and clapping hands above heads, and, obviously, with Bryan himself.
