Recorded at the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, New York on September 26, 1997.After spending most of the '90s composing songs for soundtracks and writing weepy ballads (sometimes simultaneously), Bryan Adams finally got around to hopping on the Unplugged bandwagon. Joining Adams's long-time back-up band are Madonna collaborator Patrick Leonard and students of the Julliard School Of Music, making this outing pretty robust-sounding for what purports to be a stripped-down affair. To his credit, Adams finds unique ways of presenting many of his radio staples. Guest Davy Spillane's uillean pipes breathe life into ballads such as "Cuts Like A Knife," "I'm Ready" and "Heaven." Adams picks up the tempo with successful rearrangements that include a countrified reading of "I Think About You" and a blues medley of "If Ya Wanna Be Bad-Ya Gotta Be Good" and "Let's Make A Night To Remember." Blowing away his wholesome image and proving that kids still wanna rock, Adams' naughtiest hooks pop up during "The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You."

Reviews Review created: 21/06/08 by: I soo love this CD, just bought this one for my mate, so she can STOP borrowing mine, it's Bryan alright, but in a chilling out, relaxing mode, get to play when going to bed or just needing to relax with a glass of wine and some easy good music, works every time for me.

Report this review I am most likely quite biased as I am a big fan of Bryan anyway, and always go to see him in concert whenever he is in the UK. I was very pleased with this album, didnt disappoint me at all. Review ID: 10000000006221098 Was this review helpful?

Review ID: 10000000006093366 Was this review helpful? Report this review If ever an artist was suited to do 'Unplugged', it is Bryan Adams. His superb vocals and unique style make the performance effortless. The slower accoustic versions of his 'faster,rockier' songs, work remarkably well. Along with Sting and George Michael, and to a lesser extent Rod Stewart,this CD is a must for anyone who enjoys these fantastic MTV Unplugged sessions !!!
