Setlist:
Either I've seen this before, or the concert is very similar to another I've seen. The guys position themselves in the same configuration each time.
The audio quality does not favor the band. The crowd is so enormous and vocal, not only can't _I_ hear the band at times, I also heard some false notes suggesting they couldn't hear each other, or at least FM couldn't hear himself.
But the audience enthusiasm is amazing, and they sang a couple of the songs in English.
The concert included some older material, and the '86 album A Kind of Magic was not represented. Live at Wembley is coming up shortly, and does include that album. Unfortunately, some of their older concerts are tagged as having release dates many years after the concert, and I would've had to rig some weird system to watch them in order within this quest. If I can trust the Wikipedia tour dates, the Rio concerts were in 1'85.
I wonder how long the actual concert was. Here is the setlist, and I don't remember seeing all of them on the video.
Satisfying despite the quibbles.
