First UK concert at Birmingham tonight, and we'll soon be off for a wonderful evening with the greatest entertainer in the world .. imo and that of quite a few others here
I hope those lucky enough to be meeting Meat backstage have a wonderful time. My friend and I have great seats in the front row. I don't care what Meat chooses to sing, because I know I will enjoy every golden moment of every song. He may use some familiar lines because they are good and work well .. I am sure there will be new ones.
I will probably not notice if he misses a note or two, because I shall be swept away on the magical ride that is Meat Loaf in Concert .. a journey I consider myself so fortunate to be able to take. Some people have not been able to see him yet, some will not be able to. I am one of the lucky ones, and I consider it a privilege.
I just know that tonight Meat will take me all the way in a wonderful show, as he has done every time I've seen him over the past 25 years. His voice is different now to what it was in 1978 .. I expect this. It is deeper and more mature, and every bit as great. Tonight he will give his all and then some, as he always does. And that is more than enough for me.
I'll just add the rider that lest anyone thinks what I've said makes me a sad, obsessed sycophant, I don't give a Rhet Butler for their opinion. I'm a Meat Loaf fan, I'm proud of it, and I consider myself lucky that tonight I shall experience what every Meat fan loves the most .. an evening with the Man .. :)
