All the reviewers are not going to like the show and you are going to hear the same old song "HE DOES SOUND LIKE HE DID ON THE BAT RECORD " FOR BEING IN VEGAS and dry throat ... I am not doing bad !! Not traveling , lets you get more rest !!

Yeah and now that I think about it, when I had mine down to almost my shoulders it was a hell of a lot more work! Especially doing something like working out or you know...moving and getting it in your face

More work, but it looks ~~~~ing awesome!!

Wario · 01 Oct 2013, 21:33

At least a live CD...

WOrked for STorytellers, that was just one show

Evil One · 01 Oct 2013, 21:52

Patience young man. There will be a DVD of the Last At Bat at some point, probably with a couple of Brave & Crazy songs. There's too much potential money left on the table for it not to happen.

Fire Ball · 02 Oct 2013, 14:49

Please , Evil one ... Help me find that table !!! Records don't sell like they used too, and touring, all the Governments, take double the taxes they did just 6 years ago . Germany being the worst !!! When we were touring the states . We had to pay state Taxes in every state where we played a show . We have filled out as many as 32 state tax returns in one year !! That is why everyone is coming and sitting in Vegas . This show was very expensive to put up in a 1300 seat theatre and everyone in the band is making more money than I am right now . It's Vegas, a Gamble !!!

Maybe not, but a DVD of 'Meat Loaf does the whole of Bat Out Of Hell and some of his Greatest Hits' will still (hopefully) sell more than 'Meat Loaf sings a bunch of songs.' You said on here that you had a couple of offers to film the Last At Bat so obviously some interest was there. Your current band is too awesome for them not to be recorded for posterity.

Not to sound arrogant, but I really don't care what reviews say....I'll make my judgement on October 10th. As far as "NOT SOUNDING LIKE YOU DID ON THE BAT RECORD"....if I wanted that, I could stay home and listen to BAT......and save flying across the country. One of the great things about EVERY show I've been to is that they are all different! That keeps it new, fresh and interesting.....but always GREAT...and always done with the same energy, passion and commitment to excellence!

LisaT · 02 Oct 2013, 17:05

Meat, any more "talk" about the possibility of bringing the show to the West End?

suzieq · 02 Oct 2013, 18:42

I finally have internet again.

Thank you Meat for a very entertaining show last night. I had to extract the magic out of my review here because the stuff going on in this show is like an illusionists tricks revealed. The best I can come up with is 3 shows in and Meat's already an "All-Star" Vegas Pitcher.

The venue is intimate and cozy, the showroom is inviting (lots of places to take a pic outside the theater), and the gift shop is boutique. That's all the asthetics.

The sound of the band was big and crisp. The acoustics were amazing. But I'm pretty sure they are going to have to order a new roof for the place because I can't see possible that Meat's vocals did not blow it off last night. Man I missed that guy. 1 year and 16 days since I'd seen him sing live. Frying Pan took me to Loafdom Cloud #9. Anything For Love ......what an actor, he gave me goosebumps on top of goosebumps with his gesture lines and scene control to the point of audience = palm of MEAT'S hands!!

Interactive part was informative and funny. Never seen before pics from Meat's own collection that aren't on Google Images

I seriously can listen to him all night long. And the videos that went along with the songs.....I had to remind myself to look at them because I had a bit of tunnel vision watching Meat most of the time.

So this was my first Vegas show EVER and Meat broke me in right. I'm no longer a Vegas show virgin. LOL! I went into last night review-less and I was completely unaware to all the tricks Meat had up his sleeve. To see HIS CREATIVE BRAIN out on that stage is so freakin' cool to witness. I'm still trying to catch up with all his frogs, therefore this may not be the most awesome fan review to read. I feel a bit scatter brained but so exhilarated at the same time. Just immense.

What's a show without meeting amazing peeps? Was lovely to meet Lucy, Andy, Guy, & Tonyloaf, for the first time last night. Ladies S., Yevonda and Caryl I had a great time catching up and meeting everyone. Safe travels to everyone.

While I was home I knew I was craving a Meat live performance.... now that I'm here, I realized how much I missed him. Loved every minute of it. Thursday can't come soon enough, but I will savor the anticipation nonetheless.

Although I can see why some people might want a DVD of Last At Bat and that it would probably sell due to the songs that were performed, I would much rather see a DVD of the Las Vegas show. I'm disappointed to hear that it is not going to happen but I appreciate that sometimes these things just don't work out.

tonyloaf · 02 Oct 2013, 19:42

The morning after my 1st show, what can I say... This .. AWESOME!!!!! you can't compare this to a tour show, this is a first class rock and roll Vegas style show, it has everything you could think of, (not letting on to details as I don't want to ruin it for other people)
Meat sounded great! Just want to thank every member of the band for putting on a great production , bring on thur! Yevonda, Susan, GREAT MEETING YA'll :)

I wonder if they could film multiple shows/nights, then splice together the results to give an overall impression of what the whole Vegas run was like? Not in the 'lets just paste all the songs together' kind of studio creation way, but with clips and talking and audience Q&A. backstage etc in between. Could be cool

...not doing bad? Did you hear you last night?! Outstanding!

Sat at the airport just now, miserable, so reviews when we're back x

*AndyK* · 02 Oct 2013, 23:17

Not bad? Yeah .... You're alright I guess

Great three shows. Nothing like we've ever seen before, yet somehow still familiar and a perfect fit for Vegas the city of Original Sin. So happy that you finally got an audience who understand what a question is.

Don't want to be sat in an airport writing this because it means the trip is over.

Wario · 02 Oct 2013, 23:32

anyone on here ask him anything?? how does he select people?

Sorry for that, Meat!!

So there is no little mini chance for a live dvd or live cd at all?
In general?

I would buy it. That's for sure.

There are ushers with lights. And when it's question time, the usher will wave the light where someone is waving their hand. Meat picks a light out and prays that a decent question is going to come out and not some stuff like, I wanna marry you, can I kiss you, I'm from XYZ planet etc. (NO I'VE NOT ASKED THESE QUESTIONS WARIO

).

To the best of my knowledge no one here has had their question answered. BUT, we are sitting real close to the stage. He's on the center walkway and past most of the front tables when he is answering these questions. Besides, we are privileged that he answers a lot of questions here for us as his time permits. I feel like others (non-UKFC members) should have an opportunity to ask questions.

Hoped this helped.
