Bruce Springsteen 2016-05-19 Rock In Rio, Lisbon

Thu, May 19, 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)

I went to Rock In Rio to see Bruce Springsteen (for the 3rd time) live. This time was "The River Tour 2016". Another big and sunny day of waiting. But it worth every minute of it.

It was the third time the BOSS was here in Portugal to do a live show. I was on the first show he did here in Lisbon on May 1st, 1993 at Estádio José de Alvalade (23 years before). This 1993 show was really awesome. I remember to see Bruce Springsteen playing for 3 hours. And the second show was 4 years ago also in Rock In Rio on June 3rd 2012.

I arrived at Rock In Rio at 5 am. Still night. Cold night. I sat up a little on the road where we will be in line to enter later, waiting that somebody else came. Other fans of Bruce Sprignsteen began arriving a little after 8 am.

Just before 4 pm me and other fans started to run up the long road, hard race until the main entrance. I managed to go to an empty door of close to 15 or 16 doors available to stop.

A few minutes later we get in. A lot of people ahead of us taking photos and trying to give us "things". Well, so I run to the front and then went behind other fans to the left side but I notice the right side was almost empty. So I turned around, just couldn't run anymore. Walk a little behind the bars and there I ended up on the right side that was where I wanted to go. I saw a friend of mine on front row with a little space on his right side and went there.

Finally I could rest on a sunny and hot day.

Before Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band in Rock In Rio, Lisbon we saw a musical "Rock In Rio - The Musical", we also saw the bands Stereophonics and Xutos e Pontapés.

The first act was by Rock In Rio - The Musical. 60 minutes.
A musical Rock In Rio create to celebrate the 30 years of Rock In Rio.

The next band on stage was Stereophonics. They played for 71 minutes.
This was the first time I saw them live. They were nice. To be honest I knew their name but never hear them before and what I heard before I did not enjoy. But to be honest they were cool. I like 2 songs they played, I think they were: "White Lies" and "Mr and Mrs Smith".

02. Salve-se Quem Puder
