I would like to time-travel to a few nights ago. On Wednesday, August 13, I had the opportunity to see Bryan Adams live in concert for the second time. This time it was in Helsinki Ice Hall. My seat was quite close to the stage, so the view was upwards. There was a mike on that part of the stage where he sang a song or two. My first Mr. Adams concert was quite far, so this was even better. Photos below.
I got to see him from about a meter away when he came to the floor to greet the fans. He went to the back of the stadium and performed a song with an acoustic guitar to the fans at the back. I had a great time. Two hours or so just flew by. You know what they say, when you’re having fun, time just flies by.
Here are a few videos from the concert.

Bryan Adams has now been in Finland 15 times in total (that’s what he said during the concert). This time he had two concerts in Finland. He’s welcome back any time. His live concerts are pure entertainment 👍
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Day 7
After my Dad died on February 8 this year, I had at least one positive event to feel optimistic about. I went to see Bryan Adams in concert in Tampere, Finland, on July 5. I bought the ticket before my Dad died, but I never got a chance to tell him. I always said where I was going, whether for education or an event. It probably didn’t matter since my Dad knew little about foreign music anyway. He didn’t mind what was playing on the radio. I got my love for music from my mother, I suppose. When she was young, The Beatles and Elvis was a big thing. My Dad always asked when I went to events or saw a movie what I would see or how it was. Now, I don’t have anyone to tell, and not even on social media people seem to have enough time or care to react. It wouldn’t be the same anyway.
I will see Bryan Adams next year because it was so much fun. He does not only play music but also interacts with the audience. This time, the concert will be in Helsinki, closer to Autumn. Next year, I’ll go to four different concerts. You only live once, so why not fill the vessel of concerts with many events in one year? The first concert is only 85 days away. If this question were asked next year, I would be able to give more positive events than today. One positive event is better than nothing at all, right?
Music is not the only positive event that I’ve attended. I’ve also been to several ice hockey games. They were fun, even if my team lost some of them. The atmosphere is always great, and you see your favourite team play. The latest positive event I attended was in Helsinki, where the photography course I’ve taken had a VIP day on November 25. Even if I’m not an entrepreneur yet, I met many of them. It was nice to see other people for a change. I’ve got a lot of new information about marketing your business: lights and wireless microphones. It was a great day.
As I wrote, the vessel to positive events will continue next year. Who knows what else will happen.
