Tour programs

evil nickname · 07 Aug 2011, 15:46

I've just finished adding pages for Meat's tour programs to my website (link in my signature below). These are the ones I have:

Neverland Express Euro 82
World Tour 83
Bat Attitude Tour 1984
20/20 World Tour 1987
Bat Out of Hell 10th Anniversary Special Edition Tour Book — Lost Boys & Golden Girls World Tour 1988
Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell
Born To Rock World Tour
Meat Loaf 99
Storytellers-tour 1999–2000
Night of the Proms 2001
Couldn't Have Said It Better
Hair of the Dog Tour 2005
Three Bats Tour

I know that there are at least three more: Everything Louder Tour, Seize the Night 2007, and the Hang Cool Tour ones. Four if you count the '83 Monsters of Rock one.

I got two questions:
- Besides those, are there any others?
- Are the Everything Louder Tour and Seize the Night programs worth getting when you got the Bat II and Three Bats programs?

I must admit that I thought that Seize The Night and Three Bats were the same content-wise? The titles on the front are different but I thought they were the same inside?

I happened to have a quick look at my tour programs just about an hour ago, so I can at least answer your question regarding the Bat II / Everything Louder tourbooks. They differ from each other with regard to design and content. Bat II is smaller and primarily contains live performance shots, Bat II album artwork and a handful of older pics, while Everything Louder seems to contain more pics (at first glance, haven't counted them). There are also a couple of "Meat Loaf with other celebs and ex-band members" photos and pics from the Bat II promo videos. It includes an interwiew with Meat Loaf, too, and the band info is also slightly different from the Bat II book. (E.g. a longer text about Patti.) I always liked the overall design of the Everything Louder tourbook better. If it's worth getting is a decision you have to make for yourself.

Don't know if there are huge differences when it comes to the Seize The Night / Three Bats TBs, I only have Three Bats.

P.S.: I'm willing to part with the Everything Louder tourbook (as well as with other TBs and memorabilia). In case evil nickname or another fan would like to add it to their collection, send me a PM. Don't wanna make shitloads of money with it, just don't want it to collect dust and fall into oblivion. It should preferably go to someone who is truely interested in the music and Meat Loaf's live performances and who actually enjoys having a look at it from time to time.

Somewhat off topic, but was Seize The Night ever actually planned to be in the set list at any point? I don't recall Meat ever discussing it, but I might be wrong.

It was, but meat never sang it. It was right before, depending on the leg, TMIL or break it. Im surprised at you.

Evil One obviously meant the full 10 minute song, not just the short instrumental/background singer chorusy part.
It seems odd naming a tour after a particular song and then not performing that song. I'm surprised at you.

Evil One · 08 Aug 2011, 09:26

That is exactly what I meant.

Yeah I know. I was being sarcastic. I'm surprised at you.

Thanks for the info.

Someone just send me this link, which shows that the StN and Three Bats programs are different too.

Officially the Everything louder tour setlist didn't have Everything louder in it or did it? On the Wales bootleg (*cough cough*) it was only part done in the encores. I don't know what to believe, never saw any of those shows. What was more bizarre was that Born to Rock had the setlist actually printed in the tour program. I don't think I've ever since this at any other stage even though often the setlist does not vary.

Evil One · 08 Aug 2011, 11:35

It did. Everything Louder was the last song for just about every concert. He started by doing the whole song, then the medley with Dead Ringer in the UK, and toward the end of the tour it was just the last chorus.

I hope the next tourbook has more live shots and band bios.

Does anybody know if there are two different 'Hang Cool' programms?

I saw scans from the UK shows and it didn't mention CC anywhere while she was part of TNE during the US leg of 2010
