View Full Version : Why only one female in the band for the Bat 2 tour?

I know that Pearl joined towards the end of the Bat 2 tour, but for the majority of it Patti was on her own. Now I know that Patti is quite capable of singing for two (at least) but isn't it a bit odd that for the previous 10 years or so there were two backing singers in the Neverland Express, yet for Meat's big comeback tour there was only one? :shrug:

Not even to stand in the background and go "Ooooooo" and " Aaaaaah" for 2 and a half hours?

One female vocalist echoed the Bat 1 tour with karla.

Maybe they were worried Patti would kick another female like when she kicked the bus.

I don't fully understand what CC adds to NLE to be honest :shrug: apart from being a bit of eye-candy. Patti & Meat should be more than enough vocals.

Pearl wasn't on the Bat 2 tour. She joined in May 1996 during the European leg of the WTTN tour.

Pearl toured with the band during the summer of 94 when she was on break from college. I saw her at the Florida show.

As for 2 females, I don't see the need either.

I think the backing vocals sounded better when Pearl joined.

I saw a show with her and a show without her. Honestly, I couldn't hear a difference with the vocals when she was there or not.
