One of the biggest singers of the 70’sand 80’s, known world wide. Had one hit after another! His songs were featured in movies. He is a prolific song writer as well!
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in college here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1985. I remember it well. My girlfriend and I at the time loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. My wife loved concerts as well during that time. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I can not describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. Watch again and look at the audience. The faces. the closeness, happiness. No stupid cells phones. Totally immersed in the moment. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Our 4 adult children (29-33) are big fans of 70’s-80’s music like my wife and I are. It’s great, lol. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.
Bryan Adams is a great Canadian singer songwriter from the 80's-90's. He is known for his ballads & he has a unique raspy voice. He has had so many hits such as "Cuts Like a Knife", "Straight From the Heart", "Run to You", "Heaven", "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", "Can't Stop This Thing We Started", "Thought I'd Died & Gone to Heaven", "Please Forgive Me", "All for Love" & "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?". He has won a lot of awards for his music.
Brian Adams was my first concert at 14 my older sister and her BF took me got me drunk on whiskey and coke.. fantastic .. got me addicted to attending every concert I could find, it helped living and working in 7 countries over the years .. been to 3 of his concerts Auckland, London , Sydney .. great memories
He still does concerts. One in Cleveland coming up! Hoping to go. I was a junior in high school the summer of 69! 70 years old now and feel like a kid to hear this again!
are you kidding me, are you living under a rock????? one of the legends of all time,from British Columbia Canada. when he was 17 or 18 he played at my house in the Fraser Valley, one summer weekend in Abbostford BC.
8:38 he was 10yrs old in 1969. This is just about those awesome summers you had hanging out with friends. He has a song with Rod Stewart & Sting called “All for Love” from Disney’s Three Musketeers soundtrack. All three of them have similar voices.
He Is One of My fav ever..straight from the heart Is his best song (for me)...also you can listen please forgive me, Heaven,run to you,all for love with Sting and Rod Stewart,o sole mio with Luciano Pavarotti,and clearly everything i do,i Do It for you...👏🇮🇹👏🇮🇹
Hi Nick good to see you feeling better. Thankyou so much for doing my request it was awesome to see you experience rock Bryan for the first time and happy to see you enjoy the performance. There's a hidden adult meaning behind this song not exactly about the year 😉
You can't go wrong with Bryan Adams, he has such a huge back catalogue filled with both rock and ballad hits. He did collaborations with names you may be more familiar with - like Tina Turner, and a song with both Sting and Rod Stewart ("All for Love", for a Three Musketeers movie). He has numerous Grammy as well as Oscar nominations, and "Everything I Do" still holds the record for most consecutive weeks as Number 1 in the UK (16 weeks). If you're curious about his more rock n' roll side, "Run to You" would be a great start. As for ballads, "Heaven" (I recommend the Live in Wembley version, the crowd's singing is just spine-tingling) and "Please Forgive Me" are both incredible and showcases his vocals. I've really enjoyed watching you discovering him, I grew up with Bryan Adams songs and he's one of my ultimate favorites.
Yes,i grew up too with his music(and Queen), how many beautiful memories. In Italy,90s it was the big moment of music,but he entered in my heart immediately! He sang Also with Luciano Pavarotti (only the great can do It)You forgot my fav one "straight from the heart"..
I didn’t go to this concert but I’ve seen Bryan Adams live 6 times and every time was brilliant. This song is his anthem but he’s done so many brilliant songs. A lot are ballads because he has a voice and talent for them but there’s a lot of rock there too and good classic solid rock. He writes a lot of his own songs and has written a lot of hit songs for other artists too. He’s also a well-known and respected photographer. There is so much great material of his to check out. Some great rock songs are ‘Cuts like a knife’, ‘One night love affair’, ‘Run to you’, ‘It’s only love’ (with Tina Turner), ‘Can’t stop this thing we’ve started’, 18 til I die’. Ballads to check out are ‘All for love’ (with Sting and Rod Stewart), ‘Heaven’, ‘Straight from the heart’, ‘Please Forgive me’, ‘Have you ever really loved a woman’.
You kids today, you don't know what GREAT music is. I get such a kick outta ya'll listening to Classic tunes from my Era. 🧐 Btw, back when this was done, it wasn't even close to "Hard Rock". Bryan Adams = Bubble Gum . . . so much more appreciated TODAY!!!
I think everybody has their own summer of '69. Whether it was 69, 89, or 2020. Please do his song Run To You or Please Forgive Me. Both are great songs.Great reaction!! 🙂
@@xboxrules8472 I seen Bryan say in an interview that while the guy who wrote the song with him was quite a bit older and writing about the year 1969 he was writing about a different kind of 69, lol. Guess that leaves it open to interpretation either way. Which is another great thing about this song.
@@kristinabushnell3652 I saw Bryan Adams himself say the song was about the sex act. I also went to the same high school in North Vancouver as Adams so I know he would have been 9 years old in the summer of '69 if he referred to the year.
@@xboxrules8472 that's what I said, lol. That his co-writer was writing about the year, but he was writing about the sex act. I was just saying that either way its a great song. 🙂
@@kristinabushnell3652 I heard him say it was specifically about the "sexual reference" in an interview so nothing to interpret. ua-cam.com/video/y8-21ZNzeUA/v-deo.html
He was super hot in the 70’s/80’s.. and still is, he writes songs for movies….try “Have You Ever Loved A Woman” and “All for One” with Sting and Rod Stewart. He also had a sizzling duet with Tina Turner called “ It’s Only Love”
Classic hit, my friends and I used to sing it as " Summer of 89" my year nine as a 15 year old it was our anthem, he has other fantastic songs worth a listen👍
@@xboxrules8472 yes we now know that as adults but back " in the day" we were a bit more innocent and didn't know much about those things🤣, the joys of innocent childhoods!!
Oh, this song takes me back. There is a song on this same album titled Diana. One of the lines in that song is, "Diana, what you doin' with a guy like him". I met a guy when I was sixteen, but I already had a boyfriend. That guy dedicated that song to me. I dumped the boyfriend. lol I ended up marrying him. We've been together for 36 years now.
The summer of '69 was one hell of a time. Study some, party hard, barely stay in school. Think of the army, but said no. I wasn't in 'Nam, but I made it through the domestic bullshit.
Oh Bryan adams this was my coming of age songs . I was born in dec 69 and I think I was 14 when I first heard it and I tell you me and my girlfriend who was much older then me and she drove a car. We’d go to a beach with this song pumping out her White mini minor lol
Parallels: As Bruce Springsteen is to the USA, As Jimmy Barnes is to Australia, Bryan Adams is to Canada. It's amazing how many good singers in the industry cite Bryan as the ultimate rock voice. He's very respected amongst his peers. Check out his AC/DC cover of High Voltage with Jimmy Barnes, there are a few audience recordings from a few years ago. This one might have the best audio: ua-cam.com/video/E_Db2kqYjTk/v-deo.html
You need to listen to the song “everything I do, I do it for you “. That is the all time famous song by him. Nothing nothing else needs to be said about this guy. He is a legend and all of his songs, especially the ballads, are gold.
Anytime somebody says "first time hearing bryan adams", you know that's bull lol. Literally in the top 10 biggest artist in music history, had 14 number ones 8 of them in the U.S and spent 18 weeks at number 1 for "everything i do". Heaven Please forgive me Run to you Have you ever loved a woman 18 till i die Black pearl When you're gone Cuts like a knife Somebody Can't stop this thing we started Straight from the heart Thought i'd died and gone to heaven Just to name a few of his gems...a few. (So sad he's gone country now in his older years).
@jspettifer because someone covered it on American Idol, not because he knows everything Bryan Adams has done. Adams is a huge deal for people of my generation but I get that people who are 20 years younger may not know him so well, especially in a market as big as the US & if you're not listening to 80's rock.

The song isn't actually about the Summer of "69" it's more about the number "69" there are ALOT of euphemisms and innuendos in lyrics, and Bryan has pretty much come out and said the song is about sex
Bryan Adams is 100% soft rock. do not be mistaken. Hair metal was a phase late 80s, metal formed by ozzy and black sabbath influenced by beatles helter skelter. this is not hard rock. this is 80s rock pop when rock pop was switching from rock to either hiphop or rock (even though they both stem from Muddy, Howlin Wolf, Berry, Walter and Dixon.
Been living under a music firewall if thought Bryan Adams only known for one silly ballad of a much better collection of music he done. His ballads are like the worst of his music imo. Much better with his rock songs like this and Cuts like a knife.
Interruptions are cool if they're relevant but you go overboard. Pausing to ask foolish questions or to insert largely redundant rhetoric over and over simply RUINS the continuity of the song too much. This approach may appeal to the attention defecit crowd who loose their attention every 3 to 5 seconds but I'm not with that crowd.
Such a classic sing-a-long anthem! 🤘🎶🎤 How have you made it through life without hearing it and learning every word Nick haha?! 😛

‘I got my first real six string’- the best opening line to a sing along ever!
One of Australia's favourite Canadian singers.
My absolute favorite song by Bryan Adams is “Please Forgive Me!”
This is such a good road trip song. You can really belt out the lyrics while driving along the highway.
One of those songs that can't be unheard...
Once you hear it you know the hook forever!!!
Righto, going down a Bryan Adams rabbit hole today! Grew up listening to his stuff all the time. It's been too long!
I’m going along with ya bro 🙌🏻
are you kidding me, are you living under a rock????? one of the legends of all time,from British Columbia Canada. when he was 17 or 18 he played at my house in the Fraser Valley, one summer weekend in Abbostford BC.
Nah just sent listen to Bryan Adam's lol but I didn't know everything i do I do it for you

Bryan Adams is like a good wine....he just gets better with age ❤ I have seen him twice over here in Australia and I can't wait for him to come back 😊
I am not sure why but I get enjoyment seeing people experience awesomeness for the first time. Another great Canadian singer.
I’m in shock that you haven’t heard this classic

So so so many fantastic Bryan Adams' songs for you to react to.
Powerful sing a long song that brings back memories.
You’re the gift that keeps giving my friend 💙
Thank you ❤

Legitimately cannot understand never having heard this song lol

He said in an interview that it wasn't about the year 1969, but about a different kind of 69, lol.
Classic 80s song! Tho I find it interesting that Bryan Adams was only like 8 in ‘69 lol
He says it isn’t about the year …
His co-writer has disagreed
TSR: You are one brilliant music analyst.
You would definitely know some of his other songs. All Bryan Adams does is make hits
Bryan Adams is terrific IMO
His song
The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You
is fun
July Summer 1969 is when the moon landing happened
Coldplay - Higher Power (Official Video), Hymn For The Weekend (Official Video), Ink (Official Fans' Cut Video), Fix You (Official Video).
Brian sang this in the 80s. He is at least in 60s.

Honestly Brian is like a Canadian Diesel or Jimmy Barnes for me.
If you like this story-telling-youth-story-stuff, you should check out Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" for sure!
Next try: It's Only Love. A rocking duet with Tina Turner. I assure you that you will love it.
Bryan Adams was 9 in the summer of ‘69.
He says the 69 in thevsing actually refers to, uh, the other thing.
You need to listen to the song “everything I do, I do it for you “. That is the all time famous song by him. Nothing nothing else needs to be said about this guy. He is a legend and all of his songs, especially the ballads, are gold.
That's the only song I've heard by him prior to this lol
Song came out in 1984. This concert was around 2004 in Ireland . Look at that beautiful sky
Anytime somebody says "first time hearing bryan adams", you know that's bull lol. Literally in the top 10 biggest artist in music history, had 14 number ones 8 of them in the U.S and spent 18 weeks at number 1 for "everything i do".

This album..... reckless.... amazing
Yu seem to be the only one that has trouble my friend
Been living under a music firewall if thought Bryan Adams only known for one silly ballad of a much better collection of music he done. His ballads are like the worst of his music imo. Much better with his rock songs like this and Cuts like a knife.
Interruptions are cool if they're relevant but you go overboard. Pausing to ask foolish questions or to insert largely redundant rhetoric over and over simply RUINS the continuity of the song too much. This approach may appeal to the attention defecit crowd who loose their attention every 3 to 5 seconds but I'm not with that crowd.
