I agree with you 100%.
People need to remember it isn't 1977, it's 2005, we should enjoy him for what he is, has done, and will do in the future.
If you expect an artist to be perfect your in for a big dissappointment. I love Meat Loaf's voice, his stage presence, his energy, etc. And I don't worry about his material, I listen to what I want to hear.
People talk about CHSIB as if it wasn't upto much, but I like it alot. So what if the last of bat isn't produced by Steinman, it's Meat and the NLE who will perform it. Meat Loaf's name will be on the cover.
Some aspects of this years tour were spoilt by poor sound quality, NOT his voice.
I hope there is an indoor tour, especially with some new song, in 2006/7 when he himself feel's he can no longer do it, I hope he'll just stop performing live.
Nothing worse than to be criticised by your own 'fans'.
