Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 | REVIEW 

He wasn’t even an adult in 69. Wrote the whole thing just so he could sing: me & my baby in 69. Ahhhhhh the 80s

Great song! Bryan Adams is a Canadian singer songwriter from the 80's-90's. He is known for his ballads & he has a unique raspy voice. Bryan has had so many hits such as "Cuts Like a Knife", "Straight From The Heart", "Run To You", "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?", "Heaven", "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You", "Can't Stop This Thing We Started", "Thought I'd Died & Gone To Heaven", "Please Forgive Me", "All For Love" etc. He has won a lot of awards for his music.

You guys should do his songs "Run To You", "Cuts Like a Knife", "It's Only Love (with Tina Turner)", "Heaven", "Somebody", "Everything I Do, I Do It For You", "Can't Stop This Thing We Started", "Thought I'd Died And Gone To Heaven", "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman", and many more

Summer of '69 is one of a loosely connected trilogy of songs that includes Heaven and Run to You. That same beautiful young women from this video appears in both of the others as well.

Went to a Bryan Adams concert many many years ago, probably the best concert I’ve ever been to, everyone knew all the words to all his songs and sung along and it made for an awesome feeling but this song in particular absolutely went off! I swear the crowd sung more of the song than he did, he just stood back from the mic and let the crowd go 👍🏼

He was ALWAYS on the radio...yet you sang along and didn't change the station.... Nice job , good pick.

I saw him open for Loverboy in Halifax in 82 and in the pouring rain of an outdoor concert at Olympic Park in Calgary in 88. He is an amazing live performer.

Born in Kingston, Ontario, but his father was military so he lived and was brought up in many different places, including Vancouver, and Halifax plus places overseas.

First song I heard from Brian was "Lonely Nights" on the radio back in the early eighties. Loved it. Grew up listening to him on radio and Mtv. Great musician and better yet he's a very compassionate and caring human, continually fighting for other species that we share this planet with and vocal about it!! He walks the walk. Have great respect for him.

Live version of Heaven where the crowd sings is amazing

I like Bryan Adams - "Run to You" is amazing

Bryan Adams is quite a renowned photographer. I’ve seen many of his photos and he’s quite good. Very active in animal rights. And a vegan. I’m a vegan so that stuck in my brain when I read that about him. I doubt if there are many people who don’t know this song. I like several of them, this one included. And I was singing along. This was very enjoyable.

Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 Bryan Adams is a great singer, song writer, most of all a wonderful human being........ His voice is his trademark........like Rod Stewart.....

1969 I was 2 yrs old lol. For me it would have been the summer of '84 or '85. Field parties, running around with friends, going roller skating or to the arcades, the lake and various house parties but generally enjoying life.

Yes the video story kind of continues. I believe it continues in "Heaven". The girl is also in his first video from the Reckless Album, "Run to You".

Man, i ordered this album through the mail! It was the featured album of the month! Pay full price for the featured album, and you get to choose 6 more of your choice for $1.99! That's how we got our music back then!😂😂😂❤❤❤ thank you for the video!

He's one of my favorites. Loved his voice & his energy. All his songs were catchy & good and remind me of the good old days....Sigh..

This was the first part of a video trilogy, followed by Heaven and Run To You

Yes, this part one of a series of connected videos of songs from that album, "Heaven" and "Run To You." Disconnected from that trilogy, one of his loveliest and romantic songs is "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman."

Nobody does not know this! 😂 I saw him in '94. He was great, but I had a bad experience: Drunk girl stood on the back of my chair during this song (last song he did). Fell forward on me and I flew into a few rows in front of me. We'll just say my face was bruised and in pain for a couple weeks. We even parked at my friend's house on the other side of the stadium parking lot. He is great and that was a great album! We lived on a cul de sac growing up and we always played outside morning til night! The neighbors we had growing up we still connect. We even have reunions. Best summers! In the late 80's he launched a band called Glass Tiger. He sang background on their songs! They were great! "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone", "I will be There", and "Someday".

Brian and I are about the same age. I remember very well the summer of 69. It did seem magic. TV was great. I got my first bike that was mine alone. A Schwin Stingray with deep purple metal flake paint and a banana seat. My first telescope and even my first kiss. "Those were the best days of my life!!"

Bryan Adams did a duet with Tina Turner and it and '69 are my two favorite Adams songs

Loved this song and Bryan Adams, remember it well, graduated high school 1986. Thank you for the reaction, guys!

Just saw Bryan on his most recent tour and he still puts on a fantastic live show. His guitar player Keith Scott is a favorite, amazing player but an overall just a great band.

The video was filmed in Chilliwack BC. Check out the band Chilliwack, they are old school like April Wine. My Girl is a good song.

Great reaction guys!! This song never fails to make me feel good. I distinctly remember when my sister got this album back in 1984 - I played the crap out of it! Besides this song, other notable 'hits' were It's Only Love (duet with Tina Turner - absolute banger!!), Run To You, Somebody, Kids Wanna Rock, One Night Love Affair, and (for me) his best ballad, Heaven! You guys could do a complete album review, and I'd be happy!! Bryan has SOOOO many great tracks - a Canadian constant! Cheers!

By the way, Bryan Adams had a song-writing partnership with Jim Valance at the time along the lines of Bernie Taupin with Elton John or Jim Steinman with Meatloaf. So Mr Valance deserves some love here too.

Funny how this song is listed as his biggest (obviously because of Spotify) because his ballad "Everything I Do (I Do it for You)" from the early 90s was so huge that it became the 2nd biggest song of all time (at that time). The biggest is "White Christmas".

Saw Bryan Adams open for Journey in 1983! Great concert all around! Bryan is very good live as well! Bryan was one of the few artists I liked when MTV first started in the early 80's!

She is in Heaven and then Run to You. It's Only Love is an INCREDIBLE duet with him and Tina Turner.

You need to check out the collaboration between Bryan and Tina Turner on It's Only Love - concert version.

Always chuckle when I hear this song. How old was Bryan in the summer of 69? 8? 9? He's one of those great artists. I named my Siames cat Bryan Guy after him. You have to show a live song; incredible performaner. Vancouver boy.

"Cuts Like A Knife" is an excellent second choice from him to listen to. His best in my opinion, but there are sooooo, many other excellent ones to choose from.

He was born in Kingston Ontario Canada.. He was only 10 years old in 1969.

Nick is obsessed with "69". Another reason to love him! :) FYI, a "platinum" record in Canada is only 80,000 units as opposed to 1 million units in the U.S. A slightly lower bar, but still impressive, especially since it went 14 times platinum in Canada according to Ryan. Anyway, Bryan Adams is truly one of the greats. Good choice, Boys!

Great reaction! Bryan has so many hits. His master tapes got destroyed during the Universal Studios back lot fire in California in 2008, which affected numerous artists with Universal Music Group. I recommend his 2022 re-recording of his No. 1 hit song "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" (Oscar-nominated song from the 1994 Johnny Depp movie "Don Juan DeMarco"). The original music video with clips from the movie is pretty cool, but this re-recording from 2022 - with a much older Bryan - is very cool too. You can find it on his RU-vid channel: Bryan Adams -- Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? (Classic Version).

Born in England raised in Vancouver, BC.

Please do the song Cuts Like A Knife. Great song and coolest video of the MTV generation

You got it and it was a 4 songs from the album storyline where the same girl shows up in the videos and the story continues...

This is one of Gen X’s anthems.

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦More Canada!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 By the way, he's not just a photographer, he's a celebrated photographer (he even did portraitures of the Queen!). Best next song to review would be a live version of his duet with Tina Turner, It's Only Love. Much better selection for your playlists. PS - He's from British Columbia.

Reckless is a great album but the LP that preceded it, Cuts Like A Knife, is as good or better. BOTH are essentially greatest hits original albums. Cuts Like A Knife the single is epic. BTW, I never knew this but I read not that long ago, and apparently Adams has said it is true, that while people view the song Summer of '69 as a trip down memory lane for him he says it is actually about a summer of lots of sex for him, hence the reference to '69 and the double meaning. P. S. Your allusion to Canadian bands and some slipping through the cracks, you guys have once again given me another perfect opening to tout a Canadian band that is not well known outside Canada, at least I don't think so. Why they aren't talked about and on the radio a lot more everywhere I've never understood it so let me once again beat the drum for Max Webster. A rock band with quirky lyrics and sometimes a bit of a punk feel via KIm Mitchell's guitar. Please react to them, you won't regret it. High Class In Borrowed Shoes is an uptempo rocker. Too many good tunes by them but also Let Go The Line, A Million Vacations, Hangover, The Party, Diamonds, Diamonds, Paradise Skies, Oh War!, On the Road. You can also go on a nice journey of pop and rock with Kim Mitchell's solo career after Max Webster - Go For Soda, Patio Lanterns, Lager and Ale, Alana Loves Me and Rock N Roll Duty.

Reminds me of Marty McFly’s singing voice in Back to the Future. Not sure who that singer was.

Risky with Adams, his people keep blocking accounts for using his music 😆. Him, Prince and The Eagles probably the worst in this respect. Hope it'll stay put here!

My very first day concert in 82 he opened for foreigner 🎶

Listen to I ain't worth. Newer song that doesn't get air play and I think it's one of his best

Its a trilogy. Someone said it below ❤. Great song.

He's from Vancouver... He's known as "The Groover from Vancouver"

Nothing has changed, still one of the most bizarre endings to a music video in history. Dark.

As soon as I hear it, I wish it was summer.

I love him ❤

Only found out this year what this song is about. My wife knew when the song came out...ouch. I'm 61 by the way.

The same girl was in at least three videos from this album

I remember the summer of 69, and it was similar to this song! Good memories.

I like Run to You, and Cuts Like A Knife...

Great reaction video. The '69' has nothing to do with the year. I think he admitted it years later.

If you want to understand that final part of the video, then you have to watch Heaven and Run to You, in this order, as this is the first part of a Trilogy

His storie telling is much like John Cougar Mellencamp. Both excellent singers and song writers. Seems like they could have been a couple of your friends from high school.

It was the best time in my life cuz I was born in August of 69💜

I think it was his first big hit tune. The song is more about a position not a year. Imagination time!😃I hardly ever pay attention to most videos unless it is showing the artists playing live !If you want undeniable though in harder rock sense with a great story behind it once you find out. If you like great lead guitar on keyboards then you must react to Nantucket Sleighride by Mountain. You will whaling away with this masterpiece!

The song is about having sex in the summertime. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics "me and my baby in a 69!"

This song is ok, but Cuts Like A Knife and Run To You are better in my opinion.

David Williams sounds like a real estate agent. Lol

Theres a continuously video, it shows a relation between the girl and bryan. Need to find it. Maybe double play?

Or, maybe, it wasn't Bryan's reminiscence at all, but rather that of the woman in those final frames. He's just a character in the video. No agency, just something she remembered.

We miss Ty! When is he making an appearance?

All the videos for the songs from Reckless tell the story of Bryan and a young "girlfriend" played by Lysette Anthony.

Please do a reaction to Warrant ….Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Please!!!!!!!!

Good song. Listen to Heaven, cut like a knife etc...

Try the exotic, french songs, some examples : Singer : Julien Doré, song : "Paris Seychelles" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cmE_aahc448.html Singer : Bernard Lavilliers and Catherine Ringer, song : "Idées Noires" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ubL_hVPm6Oc.html Singer : Zazie, song : "Rue de la Paix live" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5bUSE4IBlBw.html

If you wanna see middle aged women go crazy, play this song at any bar in the burbs

FYI, song title has nothing to do with the year. 😉

He is from Vancouver, BC

Every schools out party....

What happened to the third member of the group?

Haven’t heard this in a while but has the most cliches in lyrics I’ve ever heard

Yes this album produced a number of hits and the music videos put together told a story so you were right. They lead into the next video for a story with the same characters. ru-vid.com/group/PL0Ss6PLJtNhuGt7Lpd20zoFOl7TRkoMCq&si=0kFzWvyqFCA9HbgW

Heard an interview where he explains that the song is NOT about the year 69......I'll just leave this here.

funny enough he was 10 years old in 1969

Double entendre???

Next song from Bryan Adams: Have You Ever REALLY Loved a Woman. That song is soooo bad...it's good. HA.

Basically a Canadian knockoff Bob Seger. But that's not a bad thing. Sounds awesome.

Im qas given it me all till ye start yappin 😅

This song is pisswater. "Fits Ya Good"; "Run To You"; "It's Only Love" (w. Tina Turner) "Cuts Like A Knife"; "Into The Fire"; "Victim Of Love" ... those are Bryan Adams songs that deserve listening to!!

I miss ty

It’s just you lol

Yeah, the song is not about the year. Lol 😂

Love this song!!Good pick!!!
