Actually, now that I think about it that concert may have even been in the late 80's. Either way, it was sometime between 89 and 92, but I do remember that it was a few years between that concert and the release of Bat 2. I was waiting for Bat 2, not very patiently, and it seemed to take forever to be released.
I remember that Meat was not as slender as he is now, but not nearly as robust as he was in the 70's, either way he was looking good and sounding great.
I was right up against the stage, and Meat still had his long hair so everytime he flipped his head sweat flew everywhere- I remember I kept thinking "how can he do this every show? How does he keep from having a heart attack?"
Several times during the show Meat announced that he would not sing any more until the crowd screamed "Meat Loaf you are a sex god!", which we were glad to do.
I very vividly remember him singing "Paradise", it was the first time I had every seen him perform it and I was really impressed with the theatrics.
My best friend from high school and I hung around after the show hoping to meet Meat or the band, but alas we did not. A year later I saw the Indigo Girls there, and ran into one of them on the street (Amy Ray) after the show- now why couldn't that have been ML instead?
