U2 2018-09-17 Altice Arena, Lisbon

Mon, September 17, 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Altice Arena

The tour of U2 is: "eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour".
It was my 15th U2 show.

I arrived at the Altice Arena around 19:00 of Monday.
I had a VIP Package Gold Hot ticket.
I went to a 2nd row in the first balcony on sector 15 right in front of the big stage, almost at the end of the stage. Amazing view of all the show.
This time I got to see the big screen, all the story. On the first show I missed all the things happening on the screen. But this time I saw everything. Main stage, the catwalk, the E-Stage, the 2 red zones where Adam and Edge went there on 1 song. and I even saw when Bono left the stage at the end. He passed to the entrance just below me.

U2, played for 132 minutes. Played 23 songs.

U2 were amazing. I notice Bono lost his voice a few times. What I can say is that he needs a big rest after this tour. But they did everything for us, to the fans, to Lisbon, Portugal. They tried to speak portuguese a few times. Always cool to hear.
Even in the big screen the story was in portuguese.
Well you can check all the details of the show in the setlist below. Including 1 song they changed on the 2 days.

U2 2018-09-16 Altice Arena, Lisbon

Sun, September 16, 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Altice Arena

The tour of U2 is: "eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour".
It was my 14th U2 show.

I arrived at the Altice Arena around 13:00 of Friday, 2 days before of the Sunday show. Got a number in the queue, 35. Lovely number.
On Sunday after a night without sleep, talked a lot with some fans during the night on the beginning of the queue and even the security that were with us all night so we were safe.
Very hot day. Around 30 degrees. We were in the shadow almost all day but 3 hours before we get inside the Arena we had to go queue near the entrance on the sun. Hot afternoon for sure.
Around 18h45 we got inside and I went to Edge side on the left of the catwalk. Some of my friends were also there on front row.

U2, played for 132 minutes. Played 23 songs.

U2 were amazing. I notice Bono lost his voice a few times. What I can say is that he needs a big rest after this tour. But they did everything for us, to the fans, to Lisbon, Portugal. They tried to speak portuguese a few times. Always cool to hear.

30 Seconds To Mars 2018-09-12 Altice Arena, Lisbon

Wed, September 12, 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Altice Arena

The tour of 30 Seconds To Mars is: "The Monolith Tour".
It was my 6th 30 Seconds To Mars show. Last show of the European Tour.
The concert was awesome. This time with Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Stephen "Stevie" Aiello (guest bass and keyboard player).

I arrived at the Altice Arena around 13:00.
Around 14:00 I got in the Backstage Area to the Meet And Greet with Jared Leto and Shannon Leto. Our host was Shayla. She was cool with us. Always trying to help us. Received the VIP Merchandise I had The "Kings And Queens" Package. They gave us some pizza vegan or pepperoni. I went to the pepperoni one. So good. With water. Ok! 16:00 time to finally see Jared and Shannon, the Leto brothers. They talked to us, around 150 people and replying to some questions. They also told us a few of their stories. They still talked about coming here again to Portugal in the summer of 2019. But they are still looking for places. But maybe a Camp Mars Europe. I took the photo with Shannon and Jared. Cool photo, a rock photo. Jared told me "ah, the rock guy", haha. On the Meet and Greet before I told them I like rock and even metal.

Before "30 Seconds To Mars" in Altice Arena, played Xande, he played 31 minutes.

I like his sound. The columns on my side were not good. Was not a good experience. But I actually liked to hear his music.

Finally was time for 30 Seconds To Mars. They played 87 minutes.

It was a great show. The band is not the same again. This time is Jared Leto, Shannon Leto and Stephen "Stevie" Aiello.
On the "Rescue Me" song Jared stopped and called on stage a portuguese singer named Diogo Piçarra to finish the song with him. Was like a big surprise.
On the "Walk On Water" Jared stopped again to help a fan. He asked for the people to open space in the middle for a security to go there help the fan. And then did the rest of the song.
On "Closer To The Edge" the final song Jared called on stage the fans. This time I was not so lucky. I was already on my way to the stage on the right side and the security of the band stop everyone right on the time I was on the stairs to the stage. The stage was full already. I had to run to the front of the stage and got the end of the song. Still took a few photos on that time.

Here it is the setlist:


01. Monolith
02. Up in the Air (Ext. Bridge)
03. Kings and Queens (Ext. Studio Intro; Ext. Bridge; No Last Chorus; Ext. Outro)
04. This Is War (Chant Intro)
05. Dangerous Night (Stripped Intro)
06. From Yesterday
07. Do or Die (Ext. Intro; Acapella Outro)
08. Love Is Madness
09. Hail to the Victor
10. Live Like a Dream
11. City of Angels (Sing-along Intro)
12. Rescue Me (with Diogo Piçarra) (Ext. Intro; Fans onstage)
13. Hurricane (No 2nd Chorus or Bridge; Last Chorus started Acapella; Shortened Outro w/ Acapella Ending)
14. Remedy (Ext. Intro)
15. The Kill (Bury Me) (Ext. Intro; Stripped Last Chorus)
16. Walk on Water (Interrupted to assist a fan)
17. Closer to the Edge (Ext. Intro; Ext. Outro; Fans onstage)

Note: Rescheduled from April 10, 2018. Soundcheck: 'Great Wide Open', 'Love is Madness', 'One Track Mind', 'Rider', 'A Beautiful Lie', 'Savior' (tease), 'Conquistador', 'Remedy'. 'Live Like a Dream' was planned after 'Remedy' on the setlist but it was played after 'Hail to the Victor'.

U2 - Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way (Beck Remix)

A Beck Remix video of the amazing "Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way" by U2.

#U2eiTour #U2SongsofExperience U2 Experience and Innocence tour is here.

U2 - Love is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way (Beck Remix)

Directed by David Mushegain



Hope you will love this awesome lyric.

U2 - Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way

So young to be the words of your own song
I know the rage in you is strong
Write a world where we can belong
To each other and sing it like no other

Oh, if I could hear myself when I say
(Oh love) love is bigger than anything in its way

The door is open to go through
If I could I would come, too
But the path is made by you
As you're walking start singing and stop talking

Oh, if I could hear myself when I say
(Oh love) love is bigger than anything in its way

If the moonlight caught you crying on Killiney Bay
Oh, sing your song
Let your song be sung
If you listen you can hear the silence say
"When you think you're done
You've just begun"

Love is bigger than anything in its way
Love is bigger than anything in its way
Love is bigger than anything in its way

Love is bigger

U2 - Get Out Of Your Own Way (Official Video)

U2 is here again with a new video.

U2 - Get Out Of Your Own Way (Official Video)

A Few Words from the Directors ‘Broken Fingaz Crew’:

“The video addresses the current political situation: 2017 for us was the year fascists worldwide felt confident enough to raise their heads again, encouraged by Trump and other world leaders, who use people's fear to build more walls and segregation.

The song is both a personal letter and a clarion cry to the global situation, and in the same way, we've combined our psychedelic pop style with political imagery; shot entirely analogue, using paper cut and stop motion animation techniques”.

Editor: Adam Albo



Hope you will love this awesome lyric.

U2 - Get Out Of Your Own Way

Get out of your own way, hey, hey
Get out of your own way, hey, hey

Love hurts
Now you're the girl who's left with no words
Your heart's a balloon, but then it bursts
It doesn't take a cannon, just a pin
Your skin's not covering
And resistance
Love has got to fight for its existence
The enemy has armies for assistance
The amorist, the glamorous, the kiss
A fist, listen to this, oh

Get out of your own way, oh, I
Get out of your own way, oh, I

I could sing it to you all night, all night
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight

Fight back
Don't take it lyin' down, you got to bite back
The face of liberty's starting to crack
She had a plan up until she got smacked in the mouth
And it all went south
Like freedom
The slaves are lookin' for someone to lead them
The master's lookin' for someone to need him
The promised land is there for those who need it most
And Lincoln's ghost said...

Get out of your own way, oh, I
Get out of your own way, oh, I

I could sing it to you all night, all night
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight

Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way

Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
