My husband and I saw Meat twice on the HCTB tour - the first time in July, 2010 in Hershey, PA and the second this past April in Lancaster, PA.

The venue in Hershey was huge, and the stage was set with pyros and was simply spectacular.

It was the first time I had seen Meat perform live since 2007, and I was lost. Simply blown away. Despite having seats on the mezzanine (not the best), I was totally mesmerized the entire evening. The band rocked - Meat engaged the audience with his little stories here and there, and always his amazing humor - he is sooo funny! "Fu*k the Boston critic who called him "tired" for sitting on his stool while he sings Two Out of Three". "Tired" never entered the game - Meat rocked for well more than two hours, and sounded simply fabulous throughout the whole show.

I walked out of the arena on air.

Impossibly, the second show trumped the first! To begin with, Meat played in a much smaller venue - the American Theater, and our seats couldn't be beat - third row, center.

We were so close, I could see the sweat sweep down Meat's face as he poured his heart and soul into his music. With his eyes closed much of the time, the man just GAVE and GAVE and GAVE, and none of it was lost on the audience. Everyone was going mad! Meat told security to lighten up, and the stage was flooded. Everyone was dancing and singing....it was absolutely one of the best nights of my life! And, Meat was so happy! It looked like he was having so much fun - he and Paul were grinning at one another throughout much of the show - it was great to watch!

So, that's not all good enough, I ended up with a pick Meat tossed out into the audience that landed under the tip of my right sneaker

.

And, to end the magical evening, we got to meet the big guy after the show! A small group of us waited outside the building, hoping to see Meat as he exited the building, and while it was a good long wait in the cold, it was so worth it when we saw Meat exit and walk over to our group!

He look exhausted, but he couldn't have been more gracious as he signed autographs and chatted with us about Celebrity Apprentice.

All in all, a night never to be forgotten. Thank you, Meat!!
