November 11, 2022 | Comments Off on Watch The Puro live in São Paulo · PROSHOT | by Axl | Noel Hogan
A proshot and official recording of The Puro live in São Paulo last month was shared on YouTube by user and journalist Leo Leomil 2 days ago. 28 minutes long, the video includes 5 songs and an interview with Noel and Mell in 2 parts.
The Puro gave their first ever concert yesterday in São Paulo at Rockambole opening for the band Leela. The Puro playing at 21:30 and Leela at 22:30
This was the only concert planned in Brazil for now. Noel Hogan was on acoustic guitar, Mell Peck on vocals (and sometimes on guitar as well) and a third guy named Binho on keyboards and accordion (!!)
A more or less 55-min show originally planned with 9 songs including a new one (The Cure) and 2 Cranberries covers (Shattered, Zombie) but in fact 10 songs were played due to a real encore not appearing on the setlist sheet. If anyone knows which song was added, please let us know!EDIT: the 10th song was “Além Dos Meus Olhos”
Attendance was possibly 100-150 people in the venue. Not that bad for a first!

Many photos and videos appeared on socials posted by the fans.

Noel Hogan arrived in Brazil almost a week before the show and rehearsed with the band since Monday 17 October. Noel and Mell also gave a few interviews on local media. Photos were published on the band’s socials during the whole week.
