If Bryan Adams feels like making his next CD an all-acoustic effort, he should go right ahead.

With just a guitar and harmonica, the Vancouver-raised rock icon did his best to convert any doubters among the more than 600 who packed his invitation-only homecoming show at St Andrew's-Wesley Church in Vancouver.

Promoting his 11th studio album (an 11-track outing entitled, yes, 11), Adams said, "I've never done an acoustic show in Vancouver before, except in my basement."

His casual good humour during the hour-long gig made it feel like friends sitting around in the living room.

For a complete review of the Bryan Adams show, come back to the site on Thursday (March 27) or pick up a copy of the Georgia Straight, which will be distributed across Greater Vancouver.
