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 👍
The thunder in my heart. Or Kylie. Minogue Fun fact: When I was younger, I wished she were my sister. My sister died when I was 6, so perhaps that’s why. Then again, I also wished I had a brother who would protect me and be popular among girls. That has nothing to do with this, though.
I attended Kylie Minogue’s live concert on Monday, June 23. I have never been to her concert before, so I wanted to take the chance. She has been to Finland in concert three times before. It was held at the Espoo Metro Arena (where ice hockey is played), and it was extremely hot inside. I could have enjoyed the concert even more if it wasn’t for that (and the feeling in my left foot that I was getting a cramp), I had to buy water to survive. It was good, it was inside because it rained outside, so at least you stayed dry.
When the concert started, it was loud, and I didn’t know what song was on. Perhaps it was the seat I had. But you don’t care because it’s a concert where you see one of your favourite artists. I wanted to see Kylie in concert for a long time, and my dream came true. It was great to see such a diverse audience. It didn’t matter if you were straight or not; we were there to enjoy the show. And it was great. She’s such a nice person and took the audience in with open arms. When she sang the encore songs, many people stood up and danced even in the higher stands. All in all, it was a nice way to spend the day.
I have now attended three concerts: Toto, Duran Duran, and Kylie Minogue. Two more to go, Bryan Adams and The Rasmus (Finnish band), I hope I won’t have any problems with those. At the Duran Duran concert, I had an accident and I didn’t see the concert from the beginning, and in the Kylie one, I had a cramp fright.

I’ve had enough of thunder in my heart, and I don’t need more.
I looked forward to see Duran Duran live for the second time. I almost missed it because I had an slipping accident in my hotel room and had to go to the emergency room. It took so long so I thought I would miss the whole concert.
Fortunately I didn’t hurt myself that bad and I managed to get to the concert after all. I only saw half of the concert and I still blame myself for getting hurt. But no can do. I got to see the band and that I’m grateful for.
Duran Duran is my favourite band and I would have hated to miss it. They started their European tour from Tampere, Finland. We are honored 👍 Hopefully they will come back here in the future. Next time I make sure I see the whole concert.
