Bryan Adams formed his first solo touring band in the fall of 1981 to promote his second solo album, You Want It You Got It. The initial lineup featured lead guitarist Keith Scott, bassist Dave Reimer, keyboardist John Hannah and drummer Jimmy Wesley. The band’s current incarnation includes constant member Scott alongside drummer Pat Steward (who first joined in 1984) and keyboardist Gary Breit (since 2002).

Adams formed his first solo touring band in the fall of 1981 to promote his second album, You Want It You Got It. The initial lineup featured lead guitarist Keith Scott, bassist Dave Reimer, keyboardist John Hannah and drummer Jimmy Wesley, although Reimer was replaced early on by Dave Taylor.^[1] The band toured throughout the first half of 1982, after which Adams recorded his third album Cuts Like a Knife; Scott and Taylor were featured on the album and the subsequent tour, with Hannah returning but Wesley replaced by Frankie LaRocka.^[2] Reckless followed in 1984, with the album’s touring band featuring Pat Steward in place of LaRocka.^[3] The same lineup remained through shows in 1986, including the Conspiracy of Hope benefit concerts.^[4] After the release of Into the Fire in early 1987, Adams’ studio drummer Mickey Curry finally joined his live band, having recently left Hall & Oates.^[5] Partway through the tour, keyboardist Tommy Mandel — another frequent studio collaborator of Adams’ — took over from Hannah in the touring lineup.^[2]

The lineup of Scott, Taylor, Mandel and Curry remained stable for several years as Adams’ backing band both in the studio and at live shows.^[2] After the release of 18 til I Die in 1996, Adams expanded his touring band to a six-piece with the addition of percussionist Danny Cummings.^[6] After an acoustic tour and the release of On a Day Like Today, Adams’ band was reduced to a three-piece consisting of himself, Scott and Curry.^[7] This remained the case until 2002, when Norm Fisher took over on bass and Gary Breit joined on keyboards.^[8] Fisher remained until March 2016, when he was forced to step back to take care of his father.^[9] He was replaced by Phil Thornalley for the remainder of the tour.^[10] Since the 2018 Ultimate Tour, bass has been handled by Solomon Walker.^[11]
