Tourdates Since 1977 - Discussion
The tour dates list can be found here
If you have dates that can be added please let me know, either via PM or via a post in this thread. Goal is to have a complete list of all the concerts Meat Loaf did:twisted: |
I have a ticket stub from July 9, 1994 at the World Music Theater in Tinley Park, IL.
|
Thank you Julie. Date added :cool:
|
Awesome man! Though I don't believe most of the Dead Ringer dates actually happened due to the studio or something.
|
There should be some Aussie dates in the 90's and earlier too, as I know he has been here a few times, but I have no idea of dates, it was all a bit before my time!
|
Great work, Adje. I've been looking for such a list for ages.
Quote:
By the way, does anybody know why the first part of the tour was called Seize The Night while the second part was called Three Bats? |
Quote:
The correct info: Friday 8th August - Grieghallen, Bergen, Norway I was there :D |
This is definately a great job though Adje
|
Thank you all for the input and corrections. My sources vary from tourbooks to magazines to internet sites (kasiminfo has been a great source, many thanks to that). So it's more than possible that the BA tour dates changed or never happened.
I keep searching and diggin' though. All your input surely helps and is more than just appreciated! Thanks all p.s. I'll try to update the list but for some reason ccan't edit my tour posts. :) |
what a great list,
i've a couple of dates to add :D sat 18th dec 2010, O2 arena, Dublin, Ireland (i think) mon 20th dec 2010, Odyssey arena, Belfast, Northern Ireland thurs march 18th 1999, was King's Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland... not Scotland ;) and wed dec 7th 1994, Kings Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland i'm sorry i have no dates or info, but in his to hell and back book, he also says he toured 19 different towns in ireland in 1989 :shock: |

:D You don't happen to have the exact dates?
The list is far from complete (yet) and some of you already pointed out mistakes in the list to. It's still a Work in Progress ;) I'm fixing what needs to be fixed and adding what can be added. Including more Aussie dates (although, I guess, for now only the 2011 Aussie dates really matter:lol:) |
1993/1994
.. great idea, but you forget at 1994 the date 18.Sept. in Bielefeld.
This was my first Meat Loaf Concert. And from this moment I was infected from "Meat-Virus". :D Sabine |
Haha, we don't want to miss that. Do you know what building in Bielefeld?
|
This is great, I've been wanting a gigography for a long time.
Don't mean to pick holes in the list cos it's a brilliant effort but the 1 date I noticed that was missing was the Reading Festival in August 1988, not sure exactly what date though? |

But what an event it was. I bet Meat wants to forget this one asap Quote:
|
The bottle throwing at Reading (and to some extent Knebworth in 85) is the reason why Meat hasn't played a UK Festival since.
|
... yes, it was the Alm-Stadion.
Sabine |
I know he played Corvette's in Burlington, NC in the fall of 1988 and Raleigh NC Memorial Auditorium very early in the Bat 2 tour right as AFL was taking flight, best show of any kind I have ever seen hands down. Wish I knew exact dates. Couldn't have been more than 40 or so people at Corvette's.
|
Wow a 1988 Summertime blues. Thats rare.... Those ignorant bottle throwing pisswits. He rarley ever started a 1988 show off with a cover. Guess he wasnt feeling Frying Pan.
|
Quote:
|
my guess there or 300 to 400 shows missing from all of those lists. all the american dates for dead ringer, shows in SD , it goes on and on and on !!
M |
But its a start! ;)

Correct me if i am wrong, but some cash could be made of putting some of the 80's shows (especially blind before I stop and 1988 with bad for good) up on like Itunes or a special website for download. The list just shows even more how staggering it is the amount of shows you have done in your career compared to what has been officially released. All that's been released is a mediocrely produced 1987 live album, Live around the world, Storytellers, and MSO. The shit 3 Bats Live CD doesn't count. Theres gotta be a soundboard of a 1988 arrangement of Bad For Good in your files somewhere and you can make serious cash just putting that on itunes in its entirety alone around here ;) |

You know, sometimes I wonder why fans keep bothering to work on their little pet-projects. But then I realize, they probably have nothing better to do.

Quote:
Actually we do this type of stuff for the benefit of future fans. Before I and a few other loafer got on youtube and started posting stuff, nothing was online to view like they are now. common stuff like History of Meat Loaf Live, Meltdown, and In The Neighborhood were obscure rarities very little fans saw back in the day. my little pet-project became a little empire till I got my first termination notice and a bunch of my videos were posted by other people lol. But that doesn't matter. What matters is Now pretty much all of those shows are viewable in one way or another online pretty easily. So future fans have it easy which makes it all worth while. Adje made a list of dates that wouldnt have been readily accessed two weeks ago. Once his list gets complete it would be an invaluable resource. |

The 22nd Jan went ahead as planned and then another date was added on Feb 5th due to ticket demand. A total of 3 shows in Manchester |

Will adjust the list with these changes! |

One was at Finkys in Daytona Beach FL One was at a fair grounds in Cocoa Beach FL |

Thanks a bunch for the extra info mindnick. Now I have to find the right dates that go with them ;-) But new leads are always a help. Thanks again :-)

Quote:
There was supposed to be a date the night before at The MArquee in London, it got cancelled for some reason. |
you're missing the infamous 7/28/2011 Pittsburgh show from the Hang Cool Tour. He also played the Sternwheel Regatta in Charleston, WV on August 25, 1990. Great list Adje, keep up the good work
|
Quote:
|
Poor ticket sales when Meat was insanely popular. That says something about WV. :twisted:
|
I live in WV (close to where Randy Flowers is from) and on an odd note, when he played the Regatta here in 1990, the crowd estimates were 75,000.
|
Thanks for the extra info! Hope this keeps up :-)
|
Only 3 times in Norway over the years.... :-(

Quote:

Thanks to Andy the lists are updated again. Many new shows from 1978 were added and all the tips and corrections from you all have been fixed :-)
|
So I'm going through all kinds of ticket stubs sites and found quite a few new dates. But the one that struck me the most is a 1996 from Dubai. Did Meat play in the United Arabic Emirates? Or is this 'Hilton Beach Club, Dubai' some place in the US?
|
Tour dates lists updated, a total of 67 concerts have been added or corrected by Adje this week.
Of course I deserve all the credit really as I've done all the cut and paste work so you can read them :)) |
Quote:
The concert did not take place in Bergenshallen, but Grieghallen. Great list though :D |
Quote:
And Andy, thank you very much for all your hard work and effort! Without your endless dedication there surely would be no list. I bow to you! :lol: |

You're welcome - I thought I recognised my style of writing in lots of the dates! I've come to this thread late and I won't be at home much for a month but there are several missing from 1994 and 1996 which I can fill you in on then. However I do notice that Monday 21st March 1994 at Wembley Arena is missing and I'm 99% sure that they played on Thursday 24th there (as well as on the Wednesday which is listed). The 1996 tour started at Exeter Westpoint on Monday 1st April 1996, they then played at NYNEX Arena, Manchester on Wednesday 3rd and Glasgow SECC on Friday 5th. Other dates I know are: 7th Sheffield 8th NEC 10th April - Mill Street, Ireland (Mill Street is the name of the town) 11th April - The Point Depot, Dublin, Ireland 14th April Cardiff International Arena, Cardiff, Wales 16th Wembley Arena (17th already listed) 19th & 20th NEC Birmingham 23rd Sheffield 27th Nynex Arena Manchester 29th & 30th Wembley Also, just from memory, Paris (Le Grande Rex) is missing on 30th May 1996 and Barcelona (I don't remember the venue) on 28th May. If nobody else has added in the other dates, I'll add the others in November! SueW http://www.KasimInfo.com |
That's fantastic info Sue. Thanks for adding this :cool:

A fantastic concert took place at Messehalle 7 on May 22, 1996. Yes, that´s right and 10.may.96- Stadthalle, Bremen, Germany 17.may.96- Olympiahalle, München, Germany 19.may.96- Saarlandhalle, Saarbrücken, Germany |
1996 Germany
And the names of the venues are missing are:
Festhalle, Frankfurt Schleyerhalle, Stuttgart Westfalenhalle, Dortmund and 13.Juli.06 - (Giants of Rock) Open Air-Festival, Hohenfelden/Erfurt, Germany 20.Juli.06 - Open Air, Freilichtbühne, Loreley, Germany |
Fantastic additions Pierre. Gonna make an update this weekend for it! Thanks a lot for the extra dates!
|
Germany 2012 ??
...it was a really good idea to prepare such a list. of course the two dates I tell you the complete venue, was from 1996 (like my headline said) and not from 2006. (sorry).
I can add some more correct venue names. I send it per e-mail to you. Meat played really fantastic gigs in germany (for example the chsib-promo-concert in köln (cologne) 2003.) small location -only hardcore fans I hope he comes to Germany (and the Netherlands ;) ) next year with his new album. It was very sad, that the "Hang Cool Tour" did not take place in Germany!:mad: |

Quote:
I got that they were 1996 dates and added the venues. I bet he's gonna do Germany. I hope he can do the Netherlands but I don't count on it. That's okay, I will visit Germany in 2012 :twisted: I just pm'ed the updated list to Andy. I'm sure that, when he has time for it, he will edit the posts on this topic. Thanks to all people that added dates and venues for this list. I thik it really starts to get some shape:D |
I´m not sure about, that he is comin´ to Germany again. Of course I would be there (how tenthousends other fans, too.)
For me it´s unexplainable, why he ignored Germany the last tour. I think it was one of the most succesfull tour, wasn´t it? |
Quote:
Meat knows how popular he is in Germany, have no fear of that! |

Quote:
I never get why they put seats at a rock concert anyway. But that's an entire different discussion;) Thanks to all that have contributed to the list sofar. Hopefully more of you have missing dates and venues to share :cool: |
I am shocked there was a concert in Budapest in 1987. I heard about the 1994 show and I knew there were only 2000 people. :(
|
I'm pretty sure I saw Meat Loaf at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, Australia in 1993
It was the first time I saw him in concert, and remember thinking OMG he's gonna bring the building down LOL (it's a very old building) It was, he was and still is AWESOME! I will see if I can find the program and give you the exact day. |
08 December 1977, Convention Centre Theater, Dallas, Texas

Quote:
That was a crap afternoon!! Has anyone actually counted the amount of gigs Meat has done? Are there any members on here who were lucky enough to see Meat on the original Bat tour? I wish I was there from the start! |
This one is still missing:

Thank you very much Pierre.
Still in the proces of moving. I wil do some updates after I'm finished (end of January) |
Maybe someone can confirm that he had played this show 1999:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Meat-Loaf-New...item45fee3b115 And I´m not sure, if he really made this show 1978 in Stuttgart/Germany: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Meat-Loaf-Con...item4cfc200379 |

LOL, I tend to say the stub is right:shrug:

I only read through 1981 and you are missing the US dates we did , Brenden Bryne Arena is one that is missing , plus philly and about 8 others. THe 1st date in 81 was in Portland Maine. I only read 81 and it was wrong ... You may have missed some but it was a great try.. I always thought we did 16 shows at Wembley during the AFL period but I could be wrong . Just remember the Venue told that 16 shows beat Eltons record for shows played in one year there. I did not look to see how many you had.
M |
Let's get this complete before we have to add the Farewell Tour to the list!
My first show is missing, April 26th 1996, Newcastle Arena |

ticket stubs so far. |
Quote:
I added a few since the last time. I will post them to Andy soon. Thing is, it's really hard to get the info on the older tours. I've been scroling the internet for all kinds of possible information (venues, ticket stubs, advertising etc.) I supose, as Andy said, that there isn't a date list in your archive that could help us out? |
July 2nd 2011 is still missing ;)
|
I don`t have the dates, but I know Meat played the Channel Islands around 1982. I had just moved to Jersey, found out he was playing there but couldn`t get a ticket :(
He definately played Fort Regent (holds 2000 people) in Jersey and would have possibly played Beau Sejour Centre in Guernsey (altough that only holds 400 seated people). I`m trying to get more info but nothing is readily available, but I do remember him playing Jersey, that is a certainty. |
Quote:
regarding Bat Out of Hell`s 10th Anniversary: The "big gun" was part of the wonderful stage set for Meat's 1984/5 Bad Attitude Tour. There was also a huge motorcycle which had Andy Wells drumkit on the saddle and Brian Chatten's keyboard riding pillion. The gun was used in the pyrotechnics display. There's a great picture of Meat holding the gun on the back cover of the "To Hell & Back" biography. When Meat played the Beau Sejour Leisure Centre in Guernsey and Fort Regent in Jersey in June, 1985 the motorcyle wasn't included but Meat did have the gun. Maybe the motorcycle was only used at the bigger venues. |
