0:14
Um, but it was uh it was a lovely trip. >> Yeah.
0:19
Well, you're breaking records every time you step on stage, which by the way is remarkable because I thought we had to say a very painful goodbye to you and now you're out here doing these shows which is so beautiful for us.
0:30
>> Well, the reason is because during co I didn't go to South America or Latin America and it's my second biggest market and I felt really guilty and so when they asked me to do rock and Rio I said absolutely I'll go see my Brazilian people because I love them so much.
0:43
And the same thing applies to Mexico.
0:45
And then after that it's done.
0:48
But I just thought I didn't go to, you know, we did 336 shows.
0:52
Didn't go to the Far East, >> didn't go to South America.
0:55
So I just wanted to go back and say thank you for all your support. And it was great.
1:01
>> Well, the the people responded in kind, my friend.
1:04
Over a 100,000 people showed up.
1:06
And you responded in kind by playing the most amount of songs and being and and playing the longest show in rock and Rio history. Over two hours. Yeah.
1:12
2 hours 15 minutes and uh and we left one song out. >> Which one?
1:18
Which one didn't you play? is back. Um >> Oh my god.
1:23
>> So, um yeah, we we um we had a great night. It was bloody cold.
1:26
The audience was fantastic.
1:28
I mean, the Brazilian people are just so wonderful.
1:30
Anyway, you know, I've always loved Brazil.
1:32
So, it was just nice to go and say, "Thank you very much."
1:37
Basically, >> I mean, there isn't anyone else on the planet can play for two hours and 15 minutes and not play the back. That's such a flex.
1:44
That's >> Well, there you go.
1:46
Um, [laughter] it's the longest I've longer I don't think I've played that long for years and years and years.
1:52
Not that in Glastonbury even. I didn't play that long.
1:56
>> How did it feel being back on stage after after taking a break and wanting to honor this show?
2:00
But you took a break and how did it feel going and doing the show?
2:02
Yeah, it was weird have playing such a big stage cuz we've been playing some private shows and the stages are not so big.
2:09
So, we we were used to being cramped up together and we were spread out, but it was fine. It was good.
2:12
The sound was great >> and the weather was cold, but it doesn't really matter.
2:19
>> Well, I'm so happy to see you and always, you [snorts] know, always take every opportunity to say hi.

2:31
You are going to be the first artist to take the stage at our brand new venue Apple Music Hall inside the Bady Power Station on the banks of the river Tims in London City.
2:40
Um, this is so special for us that you've agreed to do this show.
2:46
Um, and the venue is amazing and you're going to go from over 100,000 people to probably the smallest show you've done in years, well under a thousand.
2:55
I mean, thank you for saying yes.
2:57
No, I'm looking forward to it because that kind of venue is much needed in London.
3:02
>> Yeah, >> we really haven't had a venue like that uh with the state-of-the-art.
3:05
You know, we've got the Union Chapel and places like that which are lovely, >> but we haven't had a brand new venue which not only new artists can play, but people like me can play who like playing to smaller audiences and, you know, in more intimate, you know, uh surroundings. I'll be playing solo.
3:21
Um but it's um yeah, something I'm really looking forward to. Insane. We can't wait.
