Heather Nova

As I promised you, I will tell you something more about Heather Nova.

Anyway, you can find a few words about her show in Nurnberg, Germany here: http://xgosiax.blogspot.com/2012/03/bryan-adams-in-germany.html

Heather Nova, (Heather Allison Frith ; born:July 6, 1967) is a Bermudian singer-songwriter and poet. She has released eight full-length albums and has found lasting success in Germany where two of her albums South and Storm have made their way into the Top-5 of German official album chart. In 1990, she released her first recording, Heather Frith, an EP; she had not yet changed her name. The name change came a year or so later, in an effort to create a name with more buzz.

Bryan Adams in Germany

I'm back, people! and only what can I say now is 'I want it one more time becausee it was awesome!'. Yes, Bryan Adams concert in Nurnberg [Germany] on March 24, 2012 was, mmm, more than great, cool or awesome, it was something perfect. He gave a wonderful show with only the best songs and amazing atmosphere...dream :)
At 8 PM Heather Nova appeared as direct support and played a few songs. Heather Nova is a Bermudian singer-songwriter and poet and I will try to write something more about her later...

setlist:

- Beautiful ride

- London rain (nothing heals me like you do)

- Like lovers do

- All I Need

- Walk this world

- Higher ground

- Heart and shoulder

Five minutes after 9PM, Bryan went on stage and the show was started. I think there was no person who wouldn't sing, didn't know his lyrics, wouldn't have a great time and it was pure magic for me. He has fun time with every song, with music... Every next song was better than last one what was wonderful feeling. His concert ended before the midnight, after 2 and half hour with music and his wondrous voice :)

setlist:

        House arrest
        Somebody
        Here I am
        Remember
Waking up the neighbours
        Can't stop this thing we started
        Thought I'd died and gone to heaven
        Have you ever really loved a woman?
        Hearts on fire
        Do I have to say the words
        18 'til I die
              back to you
        summer of '69
        If you wanna leave me (can I come too?) / touch the hand
        (Everything I do) I do it for you
        Cuts like a knife
        When you're gone
             Heaven
        Please forgive me
        The only thing that looks good on me is you
        Cloud #9
        Run to you
        It's only love
             There will never be another tonight
        Straight from the heart
        All for love

As you see, he sang many, many song and I think that's why we love him - because of his amazing voice, wonderful songs and awesome concerts :)

before show with sis...

Now I can say only onr thing, it was worthwhile to go there to Nurnberg, to see him live again. I think I will do it again as soon as possible ...maybe in July ;)

Later, I will say more about Nurnberg and my travel and something more about Heather Nova. And of course I will write about my news [maybe I will do it ;) ].

Have a great day!

As you see, they played a lot of their great songs but yes, it wasn't the same without their 'the best' songs f.e. Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight? or other songs from great Earth Ad...

After show, I met a few amazing people in the world: guys from Rhyme and lovely Federica from The Shiver...They're so so cool!
