Review by Christine Fanjoy:
Well, I for one am another very satisfied reckless BA fan! Bryan and the guys put on an awesome show in Fredericton last night. This was my 5th time seeing Bryan and he sounds and looks better than ever! There were numerous calls to our local radio station this morning from fans who said they had the time of their lives.

I was lucky enough to be in the 3rd row on the floor thanks to Michelle helping out with a presale for this show. Thanks so much Michelle, you are the best! The crowd rocked on and kept Bryan and his band going for over 2 1/2 hours! He and the band came out for two encores and then Bryan came out by himself for one more encore an played five songs...if I recall correctly. He performed "Remember" for those of us in the crowd old enough to know it. That was awesome! It was also great to hear SFSG live.

The WYG girl had a very skimpy dress on and kept trying to keep her boobs from falling out the whole time she was on stage...Keith was laughing his but off during the "show" she was putting on. Bryan gave her a big hug when the song was over and as always a free T-Shirt for her and her friends. I think she was feeling really "happy". She paid more attention to her friends on the floor than Bryan. Bryan kept trying to get her attention. Let me tell you, if I were chosen for WYG, I would not take my eyes off him for a second!

Bryan got very up close and personal about three times and excepted roses from a couple of adoring fans. At one point in the show, a fan was trying to take Bryan's picture from the stands and a security guard puffed up his chest in front of her as if to say "stay where you are" and Bryan whistled to him and motioned that he move out of her way. She ended up getting a hug from Bryan later on. He's such a very nice man! So good to his fans.

Well, I've run on long enough. A great time was had by all and Bryan said it was the best reception they've had so far and he would go back to his hotel remembering the great time he had as well.

Bryan plays 'Remember' nearly 2 years to the day since he last did it at our request in Bolzano, Italy '04.

Bryan plays 'Kids Wanna Rock' acoustically during a show for the first time ever. Although he did once play it solo on the b-stage at the Wembley '97 shows with a strat.
