Hi! Boy, I've lurked here for so long I guess I'm making up for it with two posts in one night! :) Anyway, I thought I'd answer this one, Jim Steinman did in fact do a few tour dates other then the NYC shows, for the Bat II tour. Mostly on the East Coast and Canada (there's a Toronto boot floating around). But once he did go back to NYC and the tour went on, Meat had his roadie, Tony Roan, aka Tony Loaf (just like Patti during the WTTN tour was introduced as Miss Mississippi sometimes, but she wasnt actually a beauty contestant ever in her life!), took the spot. He also would bring out Meat's red plaid jacket to him for the end of the show. Tony was working to be a lawyer -- I dont know if he ever became one but i dont believe he's still with the road crew currently but i could be wrong! Hope this helps! Take care!
