Within Temptation 2024-11-26 MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, Lisbon

Tue, November 26, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal @ MEO Arena-Sala Tejo

The tour of Within Temptation is: "Blled Out 2024 Tour".
It was my 5th Within Temptation show.

I arrived at MEO Arena-Sala Tejo at 07:10 am. Now it was my second time in this pavilion. It was a sunny day.
During the day, some fans that I already knew started to arrive. Later in the afternoon they set up a merchandising stand where I could see some of the official material for sale.

Scheduled times next.
18:30 General doors
19:25 Show was scheduled to start "Blind8"
20:00 Show was scheduled to start "Annisokay"
21:00 Show was scheduled to start "Within Temptation"
22:35 Show ends

At 18:30 we got inside. First we went through the ticket scanner and then the police check and then I started running inside the pavilion. I went down 2 flights of stairs. And then I could see on my left the main stage already with a lot of people in the middle (the VIPs who got in early). I went to the right side, in front of the end of the stage (about 1 meter to the right from the day before).

We had 2 bands playing before Within Temptation.

Before "Within Temptation" MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, played 1st band Blind8 (Ukranian Band), they started at 19:27 and played 23 minutes. Played a set of 6 songs.

Was my 2nd time watching them. Between the 4th and 5th song they spoke for a few minutes about the war happening in their Country.

You can check all the details of the show in the setlist below.

Here it is the setlist:

Before "Within Temptation" MEO Arena-Sala Tejo, played 2nd band Annisokay (Metalcore German Band), they started at 20:02 and played 33 minutes. Played a set of 8 songs.

Was also my 2nd time watching them. They sing a song with Sharon "Like A Parasite" and after that they sing the Linkin Park cover song of "One Step Closer". They were awesome (this time I was not surprised).

Finally was time for Within Temptation. They started at 20:59 and played 92 minutes. Played a set of 17 songs.

It was an amazing show. I loved the concert. I hadn't seen them for 13 years.
And to see finally "Tarja" playing 3 songs with Within Temptation was a dream. I never made it to see her live not with Nightwish not even when she played as a solo artist.
Was cool that Within Temptation changed 2 songs in the setlist. On the 1st day we had "All I Need" (15th song) and "Mother Earth" (17th song) and on the 2nd day they played "Angels" (15th song) and "Ice Queen" (17th song). This 4 songs are so epic. "All I Need" was always one of my favorite songs. "Mother Earth" and "Ice Queen" are just so epic live. Also love "Angels".
The band members are:

Current members:
Sharon den Adel – lead vocals (1996–present)
Robert Westerholt – rhythm guitar, unclean vocals (1996–present, studio only since 2011)
Jeroen van Veen – bass (1996–present)

Finally was time for Bryan Adams. He started at 21:13 and played 145 minutes. Played a set of 29 songs.

Love the concert. Bryan Adams always happy, talked a lot about his time in Birre when he was little with his family. Telling a lot of stories on this show even showing old slides from the times he was here in Portugal.

Bryan Adams na MEO Arena: os êxitos, as memórias da infância em Portugal e a menina do top branco

26.01.2016 às 1h43

Mário Rui Vieira Jornalista

Rita Carmo Fotojornalista

Artista canadiano tocou aquela, aquela… E mais aquela. E renovou os votos de amor eterno com o público português: não saiu um fã desapontado do Parque das Nações

Apresentar um alinhamento de 20 e tal canções e manter o público nas pontas do pés (e no limite dos pulmões) não é para qualquer um. Bryan Adams, claro, não é “qualquer um” para o público português. Num regresso a palcos nacionais cravejado de êxitos, o músico canadiano deu largas à voz rouca que se tornou sua imagem de marca (e que soube manter jovial até hoje) perante uma MEO Arena bastante bem composta, recheada de fãs de hoje e de ontem (casais enamorados, pais com filhos e as eternas apaixonadas) que não hesitaram no momento de responder aos impulsos de dançar, gritar e bater palmas a compasso (e, à boa maneira portuguesa, a descompasso também). Tudo isto em duas horas certinhas e limpinhas, durante as quais o músico conseguiu mostrar canções de Get Up!, o álbum que editou em outubro passado, e não deixar um só êxito por tocar (vá, vá… já ninguém se lembra de “Please Forgive Me”).

Num palco sóbrio, sem grandes artifícios, com um jogo de luzes humilde, Adams abriu a noite com “Do What Ya Gotta Do”, tema novo que passou no teste especialmente porque foi servido naquele momento em que o entusiasmo inicial permite que os artistas saiam incólumes de praticamente tudo. Mesmo sendo um tema desconhecido dos menos atentos, o pavilhão inteiro levantou-se para receber o músico de braços abertos, explodindo pouco depois quando, sabiamente, este lhes atira com a enérgica “Can’t Stop This Thing We Started”. O eco demoníaco que assombra praticamente todos os concertos naquela sala deu, então, um ar de sua graça, mas rapidamente nos abstraímos dele com a histeria provocada por “Run to You”, momentos depois. O sucesso de 1984 mantém-se, na versão de palco, completamente inalterado e o público agradece com ovação gigantesca.

A hora que se seguiu foi um verdadeiro desfile de êxitos: das baladas “Heaven” (é que nem precisou de cantar), “When You’re Gone” (servida a solo, com guitarra acústica) e “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” (corações a ferver e um ou dois isqueiros acesos para manter a tradição, entre os milhentos flashes de telemóveis) aos mais aguerridos “It’s Only Love”, “Somebody” e, claro, “Summer of ’69” (provavelmente a mais aplaudida da noite), passando até por singles que o tempo foi fazendo esquecer, como “Kids Wanna Rock” ou “Lonely Nights”, que Adams disse ter sido muito pedida nas redes sociais. É um músico generoso, não se fazendo rogado na hora de partilhar o protagonismo com os companheiros de banda - há solo de bateria em “Kids Wanna Rock” e a guitarra rasgada da “arma secreta” Keith Scott em “It’s Only Love”.

“Preciso de uma mulher selvagem que saiba dançar”, diz a dada altura, encetando de seguida uma busca que terminaria num top branco: “fica aí. Podes dançar aí”. E a Joana não se armou em esquisita, dançando com o holofote fixado nela até o sedutor “If Ya Wanna Be Bad Ya Gotta Be Good” terminar. Uma verdadeira serenata para uma mulher de aliança no dedo. “Onde está o teu marido?”, questiona o músico “está a trabalhar? Joga futebol, claro… É português”. O momento de interação segue com mais um disco pedido (“há um cartaz ali e outro ali a pedir esta”) - “Here I Am”, gravado para o filme de animação Spirit (2002). Fazendo jus à fama de romântico incurável, seguiu viagem com “I’ll Always Be Right There” (dueto de guitarra acústica) e depois mais um tema de uma banda sonora (Don Juan) servido com guitarra emprestada por nuestros hermanos: “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?” trazia consigo, em 1995, o flamenco de Paco de Lucía.

A caminho do encore, houve ainda tempo para um trio de sucessos separados por mais de uma década: primeiro, voltamos aos 80s com o velhinho (e muito celebrado) “Cuts Like a Knife”, depois corremos para meados dos 90s ao som de “18 Til I Die” (Peter Pan tinha de ter o seu hino) e de “The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You”. Vénia de grupo e os músicos abandonam o palco. O público, obviamente, exige o regresso. E o encore partiu do presente (“Brand New Day” foi o single que antecipou a edição de Get Up!) - e na tela que fundeia o palco, vemos Theo Hutchcraft dos Hurts a enxotar a atriz Helena Bonham Carter (podia ser completamente random, mas é mesmo o teledisco) -, seguindo por uma versão de “C’mon Everybody” de Eddie Cochran para finalmente explodir de emoção quando o músico recorda os anos que passou em Birre “entre Cascais e Sintra” em criança (“foi aqui que comecei a interessar-me por música”, diz, entre elogios ao povo português e ao fado e antes de falar do amigo que lhe mostrou os Beatles). A dupla de canções guardada para o final, já com Adams sozinho em palco, puxou bem ao sentimento: “Straight from the Heart” e “All for Love” foram uma boa despedida de um concerto que serviu para o músico canadiano e os fãs portugueses renovarem os votos de amor eterno.

30 Seconds To Mars, 2013-10-29 - MEO Arena, Lisbon

Tue, Oct 29, 2013 in Lisbon, Portugal @ MEO Arena

The tour of 30 Seconds To Mars is: "Love Lust Faith Dreams Tour".
It was my 5th 30 Seconds To Mars show. Second of this tour after the Marés Vivas show. And third show I went to the stage.
The concert was awesome like always.
I arrived at the MEO Arena one day early at 20:00 (already with about 10 people on the door where I was). Long wait till 18:30 (when they opened the doors on show day). It didn't rain on both days but it was very cold.
On show day I was asked to do a video about with it means to be an echelon. Hope to see it in a MARS video one day.

Before "30 Seconds To Mars" in MEO Arena, played "You Me At Six".

The first band was You Me At Six. They played 44 minutes.
I didn't know them before. They were awesome. A lot of rock. I like their sound.

Here it is the setlist:

01. Reckless
02. Loverboy
03. Little Death
04. Liquid Confidence
05. The Dilemma
06. Crash
07. Lived a Lie
08. Stay with Me
09. Bite My Tongue
10. Underdog

Note: First show of the European Fall Tour, with Thirty Seconds To Mars

Finally was time for 30 Seconds To Mars. They played 100 minutes.

They were amazing. Jared always great. In the breaks of some songs Jared always said something. On 1 of the last songs Jared throw me a pick with the triad on one side and the symbols on the other side. In the final music "Up In The Air". Jared called me again to go on stage (I was front row on the right side of the catwalk). On stage I took some photos of Tomo and Shannon and take a photo with Tomo and Shannon. Awesome memories that I will never forget.

Here it is the setlist:

01. Birth (w/ Taiko Drummers)
