Tourdates Since 1977 - Discussion
The tour dates list can be found here
If you have dates that can be added please let me know, either via PM or via a post in this thread. Goal is to have a complete list of all the concerts Meat Loaf did Last edited by AndyK; 19 Jan 2013 at 14:35. |

Awesome man! Though I don't believe most of the Dead Ringer dates actually happened due to the studio or something.

There should be some Aussie dates in the 90's and earlier too, as I know he has been here a few times, but I have no idea of dates, it was all a bit before my time!

Great work, Adje. I've been looking for such a list for ages.

By the way, does anybody know why the first part of the tour was called Seize The Night while the second part was called Three Bats? Last edited by Sarge; 12 Sep 2011 at 09:47. |

Thank you all for the input and corrections. My sources vary from tourbooks to magazines to internet sites (kasiminfo has been a great source, many thanks to that). So it's more than possible that the BA tour dates changed or never happened.
I keep searching and diggin' though. All your input surely helps and is more than just appreciated! Thanks all p.s. I'll try to update the list but for some reason ccan't edit my tour posts. :) |

You don't happen to have the exact dates?
The list is far from complete (yet) and some of you already pointed out mistakes in the list to. It's still a Work in Progress I'm fixing what needs to be fixed and adding what can be added. Including more Aussie dates (although, I guess, for now only the 2011 Aussie dates really matter) |

1993/1994
.. great idea, but you forget at 1994 the date 18.Sept. in Bielefeld.
This was my first Meat Loaf Concert. And from this moment I was infected from "Meat-Virus". Sabine |

This is great, I've been wanting a gigography for a long time.
Don't mean to pick holes in the list cos it's a brilliant effort but the 1 date I noticed that was missing was the Reading Festival in August 1988, not sure exactly what date though? |

The bottle throwing at Reading (and to some extent Knebworth in 85) is the reason why Meat hasn't played a UK Festival since.

I know he played Corvette's in Burlington, NC in the fall of 1988 and Raleigh NC Memorial Auditorium very early in the Bat 2 tour right as AFL was taking flight, best show of any kind I have ever seen hands down. Wish I knew exact dates. Couldn't have been more than 40 or so people at Corvette's.

Wow a 1988 Summertime blues. Thats rare.... Those ignorant bottle throwing pisswits. He rarley ever started a 1988 show off with a cover. Guess he wasnt feeling Frying Pan.
