Madonna 2023-11-07 Altice Arena, Lisbon

Tue, November 7, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Altice Arena

The tour of Madonna is: "The Celebration Tour".
It was my 12th Madonna show. 2nd of 2 shows here in Altice Arena, Lisbon.

I arrived at Altice Arena at 18:00. Doors opened at 19:00 and Madonna was scheduled to start at 20:30.
For this show I bought the "Where's The Party Premium Ticket Package".
This package includes:
- One reserved ticket,
- Limited edition litograph,
- Merchandise item designed and created exclusively for package purchasers,
- Collectable laminate & lanyard to remember your evening,
- Designated check in and on-site event staff.
I got in around 19:00. Received my merchandising from the VIP Package, was missing the litograph. They said that I had to ask by email to send it to me.

Before "Madonna" in Altice Arena, played DJ Barata, he started at 19h31 and played 58 minutes.

Finally was time for Madonna. She started at 21:33 (this time only 63 minutes late) and played 136 minutes. Played a set of 27 songs.

Love the concert. One of my favorite Madonna tours for sure. She told a lot of stories on this show about her life all along this last 40 years of her career. She talked about when she came to live in Lisbon for a few years.

Madonna 2023-11-06 Altice Arena, Lisbon

Mon, November 6, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Altice Arena

The tour of Madonna is: "The Celebration Tour".
It was my 11th Madonna show. 1st of 2 shows here in Altice Arena, Lisbon.

I arrived at Altice Arena at 05:30 am. It was a sunny day with some clouds and a little rain. Doors opened at 19:15 and Madonna was scheduled to start at 20:30.
For this show I bought the "Floor A GA". When I got in through the left side, I found out that the main pit was still open, so I went there and got a bracelet to get in. I managed to stay in the second or third row in the middle of the pit but walked around in a few songs.

Before "Madonna" in Altice Arena, played DJ Kura, he started at 19h30 and played 60 minutes.

Finally was time for Madonna. She started at 21:58 (88 minutes late) and played 137 minutes. Played a set of 27 songs.

Love the concert. One of my favorite Madonna shows ever for sure. She told a lot of stories on this show about her life all along this last 40 years of her career. She talked about when she went to New York and also when she came to live in Lisbon for a few years.

Madonna 2023-10-15 Variety, Madonna’s Celebration Tour Proves the Material Girl is Still the Reigning Queen of Pop Music: Concert Review

https://variety.com/2023/music/news/madonna-celebration-tour-concert-review-1235756452/

Here it is an article from variety.com about the first concert from yesterday (2023-10-14) of The Celebration Tour by Madonna at the O2 Arena in London.

Getting ready to see her again in my city in 3 weeks in Lisbon, Portugal on November 6 and 7, 2023.

At the end I will put also the setlist.

Madonna’s Celebration Tour Proves the Material Girl is Still the Reigning Queen of Pop Music: Concert Review

By Mark Sutherland


WireImage for Live Nation

Four songs into Madonna’s long-awaited Celebration Tour and a technical hitch gives her a chance to chat for a little longer than was probably planned.

She tells the crowd of her early days being “hungry, broke and scared” in New York, with a lack of support from her father, who wanted her to come back home.

“But I was not about to go back,” she declares. “Because I am not a quitter!”

You can say that again. Madonna has been many things to many people over her 40-year pop career – something this two-hour-plus, 40-odd song, multiple-costume-change telling of “the story of my life through music and dance” makes very clear. But throughout it all, she has always been an absolute trouper.

Most other performers would have balked at taking on a gruelling world tour less than four months after a stay in the ICU with a serious bacterial infection. Many more might have at least considered tempering the ambitious nature of an all-singing, all-dancing show that would be a physical challenge for any of today’s young pop megastars, let alone a 65-year-old pop veteran with strapping on her knee.

But not Madonna. After postponing the scheduled first leg, the tour finds itself starting – a mere 20 minutes late – at London’s O2 Arena, the very venue where, in 2015, she famously fell down the stairs after a cape malfunction at the BRIT Awards.

Those of us who were close enough to hear the thud as she hit the floor like a pole-axed prize fighter that night were amazed when she simply got back to her feet and got on with the show. And tonight, she metaphorically climbs off the canvas of that hospital stay to reclaim her pop heavyweight crown, a metaphor helpfully supported by the elaborate boxing set-up utilized during the lead-up to the show’s second act.

There are few signs that Madonna was fazed by the fraught run-up, let alone the lengthy “reset” required after her punky rip through “Burning Up.” She may sigh, “This is exactly what you don’t want to happen on your opening night,” but she simply gets her hype man Bob the Drag Queen up to tell jokes, while reminiscing about the days when she would trade “blowjobs for showers” in ‘80s NYC.

Tonight, the Madonna show goes on and, after that early hitch, it simply doesn’t stop, laying on spectacle after spectacle and show-stopper after show-stopper. With so many stages, set-ups and costume changes, you could probably catch this gig half a dozen times and still not spot everything (and many of this crowd, teetering on the brink of delirium ever since the Madonna pop-up store opened in the adjoining mall this morning, seem set to do just that).

And for once, Madonna – whose relentless commitment to the present and future of her music had always previously prevented her from playing the fantasy setlist her catalog seemed to be crying out for – is here to celebrate her four decades at the top with almost every song a fan – whether casual or obsessive – could dream of.

Furthermore, tonight she lays claim not just to her own history, but also to her influence on music and the wider world over the last 40 years. Not for nothing did the set start with “Nothing Really Matters” and its refrain of, “It all comes back to me”.

There are nods to her activism – including a passionate plea for peace between Israel and Palestine and tributes to those we have lost to AIDS – and her trailblazing, via a montage of negative news headlines and video footage from across her career. It’s a timely reminder that, in an age where anyone with a million streams that gets a new haircut can be hailed as “iconic,” Madonna really has achieved that status, over and over.

There are snippets of other people’s music throughout – a snatch of Sam Smith’s “Unholy” here or Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” there, plus a surprisingly poignant acoustic cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive”. Some of her children make on-stage cameos, and even her ex-husbands appear briefly on screen. There are tributes to Sinead O’Connor and, more controversially, Michael Jackson, via a dubious mash-up of “Billie Jean” with “Like a Virgin”.

But mostly, it’s about Madonna and her songs. Taylor Swift has undoubtedly crystalized the concept of musical ‘eras’ in the public consciousness, but Madonna is no slouch when it comes to giving each phase of her career a distinct look and sound.

And tonight, she flits seamlessly between different stages of her life, sometimes via a costume change, sometimes by climbing into an illuminated portal that sees her fly over the crowd on her way to another time and place.

From the joyous early ‘80s dance-pop of “Get Into the Groove” and “Holiday”; to big ballads such as “Live to Tell” and “Bad Girl”; to the raunch of “Erotica” (in which Madge gets to saucily, um, interact with her younger self via a lookalike in the iconic “Blonde Ambition” get-up) and “Justify My Love”; to the sheer, irresistible pizazz of “Vogue,” “Don’t Tell Me,” “La Isla Bonita,” “Ray of Light,” “Hung Up,” “Like a Prayer” and so many others; this show is proof that there is no such thing as too much Madonna.

True, the lack of a live band occasionally makes things lack a little punch (most notably on a glitchy “Die Another Day”). But overall, tonight shows that while – just like 40 years ago – Madonna still doesn’t know how to quit, boy has she learned how to come back.

“It’s been a crazy year,” she says, during a rare pause for breath. “I didn’t think I was going to make it and neither did my doctors.”

But thankfully, she did and, by the end, all the different iterations of Madonna from across the decades are on stage, the lookalikes hugging each other with delight during “Bitch, I’m Madonna,” while the real deal stays center stage and supremely focused.

Still dancing, still singing, still the one and only Madonna.

And here it is the setlist from Madonna (28 songs), October 14, 2023 (Note: First show of The Celebration Tour)

U2 - Atomic City

Come all you stars, falling out of the sky
Come all you angels, forgetting to fly
Come all who feel we’re not on our own
All U.F.Os, come on your way home

Alone, that’s no way to be carrying on
C’mon

in luck or in song
You just have to be right one more time than your wrong

Atomic City
Atomic City… (Atomic)

I’m free... where you are is where I’ll be
I’m free... so unexpectedly

Come all who serve above and below
Come all believers and all who don’t know
Come quick, Come soon, comme ci comme ça
Let me dive into your eyes and blah blah blah
Guitar shaped pool with strings
Etcetera
Sinatra swings
A choir sings
Love is God and God is Love
And if your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough

Atomic City
Atomic City …..
(Atomic sun for everyone … for everyone)
God doesn’t play dice
But he likes roulette
The wheel has not stopped spinning yet

I’m free... where you are is where I’ll be
I’m free... so unexpectedly
I’m free… I see what’s in front of me
And your freedom is contagious
What you’ve got I wanna be

I’m free.. it took me my whole life
I got the keys to the cages
I’m ready for bright light

I’m free… I came here for the fight
I’m front row in Las Vegas
And there’s a big one on tonight

"My wife Lene and I shot this video on a phone in Denmark, in a forest beside a beautiful beach. The song in essence is about how there is so much technology out there pulling and pushing us in our daily lives, that we need to remain human in this fast moving world. The idea of making a video simply, somewhere beautiful and real like this resonates with me, and I hope it does with you too! Rick x"

Hope you will love this awesome lyric "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Stop".

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Stop (Official Video)

Anybody stop this feeling
Anybody stop this pain
Stop this world from turning
So we can start it again again again again yeah

Tell me that I’m just dreaming
Don’t tell me we’ve gone too far
Tell me this life has a meaning
Is it written in all our scars

Never gonna turn it back
Never gonna change the facts
Can’t stop this world from turning
The fire’s already burning
Never gonna feel the same
Never gonna and that’s a shame
We gotta keep believing
Can’t lose that human feeling

If anybody has the answer
The question’s never in doubt
Some say life is a dancer
Together we’ll find out

Tell me it’s just a feeling
Tell me that this ain’t real
It’s an artificial dream of the future
We’d better be prepared to kneel

Never gonna turn it back
Never gonna change the facts
Can’t stop this world from turning
The fire’s already burning
Never gonna feel the same
Never gonna and that’s a shame
We gotta keep believing
Can’t lose that human feeling

I don’t think I can make it
If you won’t tell me the truth
No I don’t think I can fake it
If you’re keeping secrets too
No I don’t think I can make it
No matter how hard I try
I don’t think I can shake this feeling
That everything I know is a lie

Never gonna turn it back
Never gonna change the facts
Can’t stop this world from turning
The fire’s already burning
Never gonna feel the same
Never gonna and that’s a shame
We gotta keep believing
Can’t lose that human feeling

Tell me it’s it just a feeling
What’s the meaning
Tell me that this ain’t real
What’s the meaning

Tell me it’s it just a feeling
What’s the meaning
Tell me that this ain’t real
Come on tell me that this ain’t real

Robbie Williams 2023-03-27 Altice Arena, Lisbon

Mon, March 27, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Altice Arena

The tour of Robbie Williams is: "XXV Tour".
It was my 4th Robbie Williams show. My 1st one was in October 19, 2003 here in Pavilhão Atlântico (now altice Arena), Lisbon.

I arrived at Altice Arena at 06:30 am. It was a windy, sunny day. Doors opened at 19:30 and Robbie Williams was scheduled to start at 21:30.

Before "Robbie Williams" in Altice Arena, played Lufthaus, they started at 20:30 and played 37 minutes.

Members:
Robbie Williams
Tim Metcalfe
Flynn Francis

I never heard of them before. A brand new electronic group. At least I know 1 of the members, Robbie Williams.

Info of the band from the Official site:
Lufthaus Official site

"Lufthaus is a brand- new electronic group of Robbie Williams, Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis.

The group’s sound, fusing the pulse of electronica with the art and structure of classic song-writing, was greatly inspired by the city of Berlin. What the trio have created in response to the atmospheres there feels timeless, impressionistic and yet relentlessly modern - much like Berlin itself.

Lufthaus’s merging of music, art, new digital technologies and live performance forges a unique experience which is somehow intangible, classic and yet as much of the future as the pulse driving all great cities - not least the city that still defines creative collaboration and experimentation."

Finally was time for Robbie Williams. He started at 21:46 and played 113 minutes. Played a set of 20 songs.

Love the concert. Robbie Williams was freaking awesome telling a lot of stories on this tour show. Even talking with some of the fans.

Eva Under Fire - Heroin(e) (Official Music Video from Sno Babies)

I'm not your heroine
(Heroine, heroine)

I'm not the person you knew yesterday
I've been used, abused along the way
This is the side of me you pierced with pain
These are the hands that couldn't hold your shame

I tried to hold on 'til I realized

I can't save you, no
I can't change you now
Save your own skin
I'm not your heroine
I can't save you
Now break these chains yourself
Save your own skin
I'm not your heroine

I'm not your heroinе

You tried to make me takе your pain away
You tried enlisting me to be your saving grace
I'm not responsible for your mistakes
There's nothing I can do and you're to blame

I tried to hold on, slipping far this time
I tried to hold on 'til I realized

I can't save you, no
I can't change you now
Save your own skin
I'm not your heroine
I can't save you
Now break these chains yourself
Save your own skin
I'm not your heroine

I tried a million ways
I tried to save the day
I tried a thousand more to try to walk away

I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried

I can't save you, no
I can't change you now
Save your own skin
I'm not your heroine

I can't save you, no
I can't change you now
Save your own skin
I'm not your heroine
I can't save you
Now break these chains yourself
Save your own skin
I'm not your heroine

I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried

I'm not your heroine
(Heroine, heroine)

Epica + Apocalyptica 2023-02-14 Coliseu de Lisboa, Lisbon

Tue, February 14, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Coliseu de Lisboa

The tour of Epica is: "The Epic Apocalypse Tour".
It was my 1st Epica show. And this was a show with 3 Bands I've Never Seen before, Wheel (1st band), Epica (2nd band) and Apocalyptica (3rd band)

I arrived at Coliseu at 6 pm. Doors opened at 19:00 and the 1st band was scheduled to start at 20:00.

1st band were "Wheel" in Coliseu, they started at 20:00 and played 26 minutes.

Wheel is a Finnish prog-metal band based in Helsinki, consisting of James Lascelles (Vocals/Guitar), Santeri Saksala (Drums), Aki ‘Conan’ Virta (Bass) and Jussi Turunen (Lead Guitar).

Here it is their official website: Wheel

I never heard of them before. They were cool.

Time for Epica. I thought they were the last band playing. But some Epica fans told me that Apocalyptica will be the last band playing and Epica before them.
They started at 20:50 and played 80 minutes. Played a set of 12 songs.

Love the concert. Was my first time watching them live. And I only knew their music on the last 2 to 3 weeks. Awesome metal and symphonic sounds that Epica have.

Hope you will love this awesome lyric.

Linkin Park - Lost (Official Music Video)

[Verse 1: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
Just a scar somewhere down inside of me
Something I can not repair
Even though it will always be
I pretend it isn't there (This is how I feel)
I'm trapped in yesterday (Just a memory)
Where the pain is all I know (This is all I know)

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
And I'll never break away (Can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
But I'm tired, I will always be afraid
Of the damage I've received
Broken promises they made
And how blindly I believed (This is all I know)

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I will never break away (Can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside (I'm lost)
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside (I'm lost)
But I will never be alright

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion
