Meat has visited this 28,000 seater arena every three years since the early 90's and this time he played for three nights there. We went on the third night :D . With two big screens at either side of the stage, over 200 lights and a raving crowd, Meat was wheeled on stage on a stretcher (taking the micky of of his operation no doubt although he was being quite funny all night with his antics). 'Wasted Youth' was being played whilst he entered the stage and then with a bang and lightening, he and the band burst into 'Do It', followed by 'Life is a Lemon' which he wouldn't start singing untill everyone was on their feet :!: . One major highlight later on was when the whole arena sung the choruses of 'Hot Summer Night' without the band playing which I think Meat liked :wink: . Another highlight was the extended version of 'Testify' and of course the encore which was an excellent performance of 'Bat Out of Hell' which everyone was stood up and shouting out for. The end of show featured some great fieworks and display of the British flag whilst he suprisingly sung 'Rule Britania' :?: . A great night, energetic, suprisingly comical and supreme! A great audience and venue for an excellent entertainer and his explosive band!!! The concert set was as follows:
1. Wasted Youth
2. Do It
3. Life is a Lemon (and I Want My Money Back) (Remix)
4. Mercury
5. Deadringer For Love (w/ Patti)
6. Testify
7. (You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth) Hot Summer Night
8. Midnight At the Lost and Found
9. Couldn't Have Said It Better (Myself) (w/ Patti)
10. Out of the Frying Pan
11. Lawyers, Guns and Money
12. Paradise By the Dashboard Light (w/ Patti)
13. Rule Britania
14. ENCORE: Bat Out of Hell (which he kept going for over fifteen minutes, "I can't stop this f**king song," he shouted! :twisted: )
Fantasic show, band, atmosphere, stage and artist!!!
