Sat, June 25, 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)
I went to Rock In Rio to see Duran Duran (for the 6th time) live. This time was "FUTURE PAST EUROPE". After a week of some crazy weather we got a sunny hot day. But it worth every minute of it. 70.000 people.
It was my sixth Duran Duran show. I went to 3 shows outside Portugal and with this one will be my third show in Portugal.
I arrived at Rock In Rio at 6 am. Still night. Cold night with some rain. I went to the road where we will be in line to enter later, waiting that somebody else came. And about 9 am a A-Ha fan arrived.
We got inside a little after 12 pm.
After waiting for a few minutes on the main entrance we got in. When I was waiting my friend Tania appeared behind me (she wanted to see "Bush"). 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 to the left side. I got in to the front row corner on the left and my friend Tania went to the front row corner on the right side.
Finally I could rest on a sunny and hot day.
Before Duran Duran in Rock In Rio, Lisbon we saw the band "Bush", also "UB40 featuring Ally Campbell" and "A-Ha".
The first band on stage was Bush. They played for 53 minutes (17:00 - 17:53).
I never saw them before but I like them. Gavin Rossdale just went outside the stage to the fans everywhere while singing a few times. When he passed from me I touched his arm. And on the other side of the stage my friend Tania just got a special hugh from him. Awesome moments for sure. The sound was really awesome. Love one of the songs where we could see a video of people flying on roads. It was "Comedown". Love the song and the video behind was freaking awesome. Also great moments: "Bullet Holes" from the movie "John Wick 3: Parabellum" with images from the movie also behind. "Glycerine" another great moment.
I will write here the setlist:
01. The Kingdom

Finally was time for Duran Duran. They started the show at 23h04 and played for 102 minutes (23:04 - 00:31 and encore 00:33 - 00:48).
Duran Duran perform a 19-song set at Rock in Rio Festival, 17 songs plus 2 on the encore.
They still are freaking amazing. A lot of energy on stage. For some 60 year old members they still look fit. Simon a bit voiceless in some parts, but nothing out of this world.
Cool that they played some of the new songs, but always awesome when they play like a greatest hits set. Great songs from the 80s and 90s that will always stay with my memories.

02. Invisible
03. All of You
