Following the format of last year’s triple-live RAH box, 2024 records one-night stands of three albums: peerless 1984 classic Reckless, 1996’s 18 Til I Die and his most recent studio work So Happy It Hurts from 2022.
None get a faithful retread – pointless in a live environment and, besides, Bryan Adams couldn’t stop the crowd joining in throughout Reckless even if he wanted to.
In fact, it’s much better to hear the band reshuffle the running order and play out-take numbers Reckless itself and Let Me Down Easy along the way.
The 18 Til I Die material sounds pretty good, but much of So Happy It Hurts pales against the other two discs. Although all three look stunning on the bonus Blu-ray.
