Tracklisting for the night of the BBC Meat Loaf/Russell show (trying to remember):
Life is a Lemon (with the drums!)
Crazy About a Mercury/Mercury Blues (whichever title you prefer
)
All Revved Up
Couldn't Have Said It Better
Bat Out Of Hell
Hound Dog
You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth
Johnny B Good
Now its been awhile but Couldnt Have Said It Better and Bat Out of Hell were the two songs for the BBC Swapping Notes show, or whatever it was supposed to be called. Cant wait to see CHSIB -- it was basically a trio song but Meat 'won' Patti at the end, but then somehow Pearl, Russell, Patti and Meat all wound up at the front of the stage during the end of the last chorus (im wondering if it makes more sense during the show itself just why Pearl comes down front, cause it was something that puzzled me that evening, not a problem to me, it just seemed out of place, at least during the taping itself).
Bat was a duet with Russell and Meat -- i think Russell released it on a single at some point?? Not sure! Then, Russell and the band performed Hound Dog, but Meat chimed in on a chorus or two, so it was kind of another duet :) !
They actually said at this point, they needed to record CHSIB again, but that Russell had already left, so instead they did the rest of the setlist above! :) OK, hopefully i didnt post about this back then, but you wanted to know the setlist, so if it is a repeat, my apologies yet again! Was a great night, one of the nicer recordings i went to. The 99 Hard Rock Live recording was another nice/fun/interesting (i'm in the biz, or at least trying to be, so even the dull recording stuff that drags sometimes is to me very interesting!) evening of Meat and band performances :) !
Speaking of Hard Rock Live -- another recorded concert that had some songs that didnt make it to the airing! OK take care!!
