Bon Iver, Live in Lisbon, 2022-11-11


This one was a long wait. Bon Iver (Justin Vernon) and his band had chosen the starting of their 2020 European Tour precisely in Lisbon. The concerts in closed theatres were forbidden because of the pandemic and so that tour took place 30 months later and Lisbon was the last of this tour, this time.
Superb concert and I was surprised to watch this closed arena and its 20.000 places almost full to appreciate a non popular artist.
I made some videos which speak for themselves about the quality and the complicity of this artist and his Portuguese audience. Simply memorable.






Now, the concert's setlist. The bold titles in the setlist open the videos made by the author of these lines.

Wolf Alice, Live in lisbon, Halloween 2022


Another band loves Portugal and the city Lisbon and so Ellie Rowsell and her group Wolf Alice decided to start their European tour exactly there. It was the night of Halloween and they looked a bit terrifying. Not too much, though, scaring the audience wasn't their goal, I guess.
It was an amazing concert. From the setlist at the bottom and all the videos I made, hope you enjoy these ones:

the funeral

António Sérgio had this goal for "The Right to Difference". But he also promoted artists not so different. He was one of the first and very few to present Band of Horses. Curiously, "The Funeral" was a song that António Sérgio played often. António Sérgio left us thirteen years ago. We miss him every day.
