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.Twitter: @GPerfPBS
