Post Concorde power setting on landing

I just read that when a Lightning lands because of the high alpha and being on the back side of the drag curve etc that 30% of the aircrafts lift is being provided by the engines.. .. .Does concorde need lots of power to land for the same reason? If so what are the power settings on landing and how much lift are the engines producing? And is this why it is so loud on landing or is it just loud anyway?
