08/02/02 - VALBYHALLEN, COPENHAGEN

Review by Andreas Kristensen:
The TV-news report on the national TV-2 channel brought footage of BA arriving at the "Cancer benefit walkshow w/ "Munthe + Simonsen" designers" catwalk show at the Bella center. BA was answering questions from the press about his involvment, and got a kiss by the two hot female designer called "Munthe + Simonsen" that arranged with benefit- model catwalk show for cancer /w Adams' ex, Cecilie Thomsen in attendance. Cool piece!

Anyway to the gig: Sold out as always, it was a medium gig and "only" 21 songs compared to the standard 23-25 songs at that time.. I don't know why, but the sound-set up wasen't that good and the support band was awful... Highlight were "Thought I'd Died" which sounded OK with only trio-performance... It was really weird, cos "Back to You" was played (like the rest of the gigs around this time) without bass --- so BA kept on playing acoustic guitar all through... That, and many other songs; (Don't shoot me!) was beginning to sound a bit old to my taste, and I realized HOW MUCH I missed the full-band w/ BA on guitar!!

U know, I was inspired not only by Adams' music, but also his unique guitar-playing style; to pick up the guitar back in 1999 - - so I longed to see my guitar hero w/ a full band, playing that one-and-only rock guitar; A USA made Fender Stratocaster electric guitar!! A good night, but that's it.
