With his distinctive vocals, Canadian born singer-songwriter Bryan Adams has been one of the most successful international performers in contemporary rock music, selling over 65 million records in a career that has spanned more than three decades.

Adams rose to fame with his Cuts Like a Knife album and became a global star with his 1984 album Reckless. In 1991, his Waking Up the Neighbours album included the single "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," which went on to become one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Adams current album, Tracks of My Years, is his first studio release in six years, and features a wide range of musical styles reflective of a time when rock was played alongside pop, country and R&B. GREAT PERFORMANCES captures Adams in peak performance during his current world tour, performing favorites from the new album as well as his own chart-topping hits.

The performance - including "Here I Am," "Summer of '69," "Heaven," and "Straight from the Heart" -- was taped at Toronto's Elgin Theater in July 2014, and marks the singer's PBS debut.

Bryan Adams in Concert will air on THIRTEEN'S GREAT PERFORMANCES in March on PBS. (Check local listings.) (In New York, THIRTEEN will air the program on Monday, March 2 at 9:30 p.m.)
