I am shocked there was a concert in Budapest in 1987. I heard about the 1994 show and I knew there were only 2000 people.

I'm pretty sure I saw Meat Loaf at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, Australia in 1993
It was the first time I saw him in concert, and remember thinking OMG he's gonna bring the building down LOL (it's a very old building) It was, he was and still is AWESOME! I will see if I can find the program and give you the exact day.

There was supposed to be a date the night before at The MArquee in London, it got cancelled for some reason.

I maybe wrong, but did Meat not walk off twice? Was he persuaded to come back on stage after the first bottle blast only to retreat again shortly after?
That was a crap afternoon!!
Has anyone actually counted the amount of gigs Meat has done?
Are there any members on here who were lucky enough to see Meat on the original Bat tour? I wish I was there from the start!

pierre · 21 Dec 2011, 23:17

Maybe someone can confirm that he had played this show 1999:

And I´m not sure, if he really made this show 1978 in Stuttgart/Germany:

but we've a picture of a ticket stub showing he played belfast on that night

Adje · 08 Mar 2012, 18:07

LOL, I tend to say the stub is right

Fire Ball · 22 Dec 2012, 20:43

I only read through 1981 and you are missing the US dates we did , Brenden Bryne Arena is one that is missing , plus philly and about 8 others. THe 1st date in 81 was in Portland Maine. I only read 81 and it was wrong ... You may have missed some but it was a great try.. I always thought we did 16 shows at Wembley during the AFL period but I could be wrong . Just remember the Venue told that 16 shows beat Eltons record for shows played in one year there. I did not look to see how many you had.

You don't still have your old diaries from back then do you Meat? Would be great to get this list 100% accurate, its been compiled from memories and old
ticket stubs so far.

Thanks,
I added a few since the last time. I will post them to Andy soon.

Thing is, it's really hard to get the info on the older tours. I've been scroling the internet for all kinds of possible information (venues, ticket stubs, advertising etc.)

I supose, as Andy said, that there isn't a date list in your archive that could help us out?

RSG · 25 Dec 2012, 02:15

July 2nd 2011 is still missing

meatloaf5 · 30 Dec 2012, 00:16

I don`t have the dates, but I know Meat played the Channel Islands around 1982. I had just moved to Jersey, found out he was playing there but couldn`t get a ticket

He definately played Fort Regent (holds 2000 people) in Jersey and would have possibly played Beau Sejour Centre in Guernsey (altough that only holds 400 seated people).

I`m trying to get more info but nothing is readily available, but I do remember him playing Jersey, that is a certainty.

After much searching, I found this post on http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/archive...hp/t-1782.html
regarding Bat Out of Hell`s 10th Anniversary:

The "big gun" was part of the wonderful stage set for Meat's 1984/5 Bad Attitude Tour. There was also a huge motorcycle which had Andy Wells drumkit on the saddle and Brian Chatten's keyboard riding pillion.

The gun was used in the pyrotechnics display. There's a great picture of Meat holding the gun on the back cover of the "To Hell & Back" biography.

When Meat played the Beau Sejour Leisure Centre in Guernsey and Fort Regent in Jersey in June, 1985 the motorcyle wasn't included but Meat did have the gun. Maybe the motorcycle was only used at the bigger venues.
