Sat, September 7, 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio Celebration Lisbon 15 years (Garden of Torre de Belém)
A different Rock In Rio. A Celebration of the 15 years of Rock In Rio here in Portugal with a free concert. 1st edition was in 2004 in Parque da Bela Vista, Lisbon.
It was the second time I saw James here in Portugal on a live show. First show was on June 3rd, 2012 also at Rock In Rio but in the usual space, Parque da Bela Vista, Lisbon. I went there on that day to see Bruce Springsteen. On that day I saw 1st Kaiser Chiefs, then was James, then Xutos & Pontapés and then Bruce Springsteen.
I arrived at Garden of Torre de Belém, Rock In Rio at 8 am. Arrived there in front of Torre de Belém to try to find the gates to get in. As it was free I could get inside the garden. About 10 or 11 am other James fans arrived. From UK, Mexico and even from Canada. Very awesome people super fans of James. I stayed with them all day.
Close to 11:50 am James come to the stage to do the soundcheck. Awesome to see them. Very hot weather. Tim Booth (vocalist) asked to put there some shades. And they finish the soundcheck on the shades. They finish at around 1:10 pm.
Before James We got at 9 pm the video mapping projected on the three faces of the Belém Tower, telling the story of the 15 years of Rock In Rio in Portugal. And it was freaking awesome.
Finally was time for James. They started the show at 21h15 and played for 93 minutes.
James perform a 16-song set at Rock in Rio Festival.
I will write here the setlist:
01. Sit Down
02. Tomorrow
03. Leviathan
04. What's It All About
05. Stutter
06. She's a Star
07. Out to Get You

Bruce Springsteen, 2012-06-04 - Campainha Electrica (in portuguese)
http://campainhaelectrica.blogspot.pt/2012/06/bruce-springsteen-rock-in-rio-lisboa-3.html
Segunda-feira, 4 de Junho de 2012
Do dia de ontem haverá certamente muito para contar.
Fica para já a consensual impressão de que o Boss foi arrasador, surpreendente e memorável!
Dir-se-ia que a espera valeu todos os dias dos longos vinte anos que Bruce Springsteeen esteve ausente de palcos portugueses. Acrescentamos que as nove horas maioritariamente passadas em pé valeram também o interminável esforço, apesar do consequente e massacrante cansaço. Resultado: gravações video deficientes de tanto estar com os braços ao alto a tentar desviar a máquina das cabeças, mas, acima de tudo, a perseguir um surpreendente Springsteen endiabrado, irrequieto e quase inesgotável! É claro que a ajuda de um relógio topo de gama chamada E-Street Band permite todo e qualquer desvio ao roteiro sem que sejam preceptíveis máculas mínimas. Ver Max Weinberg, Steve Van Zant, Nils Lofgren, Roy Bittan, Garry Tallent ou o rookie Jake Clemmons no mesmo palco respirando talento e virtuosismo foi outra dos sub-títulos de primeira página obrigatórios no relatório final de tão grandiosa jornada. E o alinhamento? Não fugindo demasiado ao que vem sendo apresentado nesta digressão, claro que faltou esta ou aquela canção, mas certamente que as quase oitenta mil almas presentes não podem reclamar da brilhante sequência apresentada, tocando vários álbuns e épocas, do mais recente ao mais antigo. Mas, caramba, aquele final com o arrepiante, no nosso caso, "Thunder Road" em transição para um encore sem saída de palco em que se perfilaram o "Born in USA", o "Born To Run", o "Glory Days", o "Hungry Heart", o "Dancing In The Dark", o "Tenth Av. Freeze-Out" e o, pasme-se, clássico "Twist And Shout" com direito a fogo-de-artifício, deixou-nos sem fôlego e perfeitamente rendidos. Uma barrigada de música difícil de atingir e que levou o próprio Springsteen à exaustão, que por muito simulada que possa ter sido (e não foi), revela a energia posta em palco e a vontade expressa em fazer desta noite uma ocasião especial. Claro que há sempre aqueles momentos tradicionais que fazem parte do show-off, como a subida ao palco da menina (neste caso meninas...) em "Dancing In The Dark", o miúdo captado em aparente escolha aleatória da audiência para cantar em "Wainting In a Sunny Day" ou as corridas ao público para recolher "sign requests" positivamente respondidos, mas que, atendendo ao clima de celebração, se tornaram ternurentos. Uma noite incontornável na história da música ao vivo em Portugal desta década por muitas tentativas de repetição que possam vir a surgir. E nós, como prometido e cumprido, estivemos lá de alma e coração.
Perante tamanho rolo compressor do Boss, Kaiser Chiefs, James e Xutos acabaram por passar quase despercebidos. Os primeiros, irritantes na figura do vocalista que cometeu a proeza de ter dado um concerto para as câmaras de televisão a roçar o desrespeito e que cantou parte de um tema, para dar nas vistas, em pleno exercício de slide disponível no recinto; os segundos, apesar da competência e até da qualidade técnica fizeram avivar algumas memórias positivas, poucas, negativas, muitas, dos anos oitenta; os terceiros, em regime best-off a abrir de forma a conquistar rapidamente a imensa plateia o que não foi difícil de concretizar e até demos connosco a cantarolar os "Barcos Gregos" e o "Remar, Remar"...

Bruce Springsteen, 2012-06-03 - Rock In Rio, Lisbon
Sun, Jun 3, 2012 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)
I went to Rock In Rio to see Bruce Springsteen (for the 2th time) live. It was another big day of waiting. But it worth every minute of it.
It was only the second time the BOSS was here in Portugal. I was also on the first show he did here in Lisbon on May 1st, 1993 at Estádio José de Alvalade (19 years before). This 1993 show was really awesome. I remember to see Bruce Springsteen playing for 3 hours.
Before Bruce Springsteen in Rock In Rio, Lisbon played Kaiser Chiefs, James and Xutos e Pontapés.
The first band was Kaiser Chiefs. They played for 47 minutes.
They are always awesome live. The vocalist is a crazy dude who in the middle of a song went to the slide and flew all over us from one side to the other side. Very funny.
I will write here the setlist:
Money For Nothing (Dire Straits song - Intro song)
01. Never Miss a Beat
02. Everyday I Love You Less and Less
03. Everything Is Average Nowadays
04. On the Run
05. I Predict a Riot
06. Kinda Girl You Are
07. Listen to Your Head
08. Ruby
09. The Angry Mob
10. Take My Temperature (with Ricky Wilson singing from the slide)
11. Oh My God
The second singer was James. He played for 69 minutes.
This was the first time I saw "James" live. I have the first 2 CDs of him. I know that he already came to Portugal many times. But this was really the first time for me. He was very good, always speaking to us and even came down near me (you can check my photos).
I will write here the setlist:
01. Whiteboy
02. Ring The Bells
03. Laid
04. She's A Star
05. Getting Away With It (All Messed Up)
06. Out To Get You
07. Johnny Yen
08. Stutter
09. Sound
10. Tomorrow
11. Sometimes
12. Sit Down
The third band was Xutos e Pontapés. They played for 65 minutes.
This time they played at night. I already have seen them other times in Rock In Rio but always on the afternoon time. This time they even got explosions on stage.
I will write here the setlist:
01. Contentores
02. Não Sou o Unico
03. A Minha Maneira
04. Barcos Gregos
05. Homem do Leme
06. Remar Remar
07. Circo de Feras
08. Perfeito Vazio
09. Tonto
10. Quem é Quem?
11. Dia de S. Receber
12. Chuva Dissolvente
13. Maria
14. Minha Casinha
15. Para Sempre
Finally was time for Bruce Springsteen. He started the show at 00h10 (June 4th) and played for 149 minutes.
What an amazing show it was. Bruce was on fire. You can check my videos to remember.
Bruce and band perform a 24-song set at Rock in Rio Festival, only the second time Springsteen has played in Portugal. Bruce didn't take to the stage until after midnight on the morning of June 4th and it was nearly 2.45am before he was finally done. Set closes with the tour debut of "Twist and Shout," the first time this year a show hasn't ended with "Tenth Avenue Freeze-out". Fireworks started when he finished "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" as a form of closing the Festival. But Bruce didn't care and neither did the 81.000 people attending this show who have been waiting 19 years for his comeback. Patti Scialfa is not present.
I will write here the setlist:
01. We Take Care of Our Own
02. Wrecking Ball
03. Badlands
04. Death To My Hometown
05. My City of Ruins
06. Spirit In The Night
07. Because The Night
08. No Surrender
09. She’s The One
10. I’m On Fire
11. Shackled & Drawn
12. Waiting On A Sunny Day
13. The River
14. The Rising
15. Lonesome Day
16. We Are Alive
17. Thunder Road
18. Born In The U.S.A.
19. Born To Run
20. Glory Days
21. Hungry Heart
22. Dancing In The Dark
23. 10th Avenue Freeze-Out
24. Twist & Shout* (*Tour premiere)
