Very special and a lovely tribute. Very well edited in fact.
The 90s footage is always great to watch. Meat seemed in great health, extremely happy, so successful and he was SO very cool. It was a big part of growing up for me, made a hell of a difference in a positive way.
The home footage is hard to watch.
I believe the cover photo is from one of the 2004 Glasgow shows, I was at both. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it back then. Hard to believe that was almost 20 years ago. Meat wasn't in the best of health coming away from the irrregular heart beat thing from one of the London shows in Dec 2003, but man these shows were so much fun. The last UK show on that tour, 30th of Jan in Glasgow I'll never forget. 20-30 mins of Kasim to warm up and then 3+ hours Meat. Crazy.
I'm still upset there is this disconnect online between meatloaf.net (still #2 search result for Meat Loaf, after wiki), Deborah and the daughters and who are thus managing the Facebook pages etc. It seems this disconnect somewhat exists in that tribute that clearly does not involve Deborah much. But then Leslie isn't featured much either so this was probably the best way to go. Still, a shame this tribute isn't shared more widely.
Also, this should be up on YouTube. Maybe Adje to the rescue.
