Hmmm I wonder how many soundboards exist of the shows of the 80s that Adje listed.

Correct me if i am wrong, but some cash could be made of putting some of the 80's shows (especially blind before I stop and 1988 with bad for good) up on like Itunes or a special website for download.

The list just shows even more how staggering it is the amount of shows you have done in your career compared to what has been officially released. All that's been released is a mediocrely produced 1987 live album, Live around the world, Storytellers, and MSO. The shit 3 Bats Live CD doesn't count.

Theres gotta be a soundboard of a 1988 arrangement of Bad For Good in your files somewhere and you can make serious cash just putting that on itunes in its entirety alone around here

It's a work in progress

But erm... if you happen to know someone who was on these tours, maybe he can help out with a few dates

I'd thought the opposite to be honest, seeing the dates listed and considering the amount of travel involved between shows tells me that Dire Straits had it wrong when they sang "That ain't working, that's the way to do it ..."

Too right - this tour dates list looks exactly the same as our bank statements!!!

Yeah, I don't know why he hasn't gone straight over to his archive and sorted that out. You'd almost think he's busy or something.

You know, sometimes I wonder why fans keep bothering to work on their little pet-projects. But then I realize, they probably have nothing better to do.

One to talk lol.

Actually we do this type of stuff for the benefit of future fans.

Before I and a few other loafer got on youtube and started posting stuff, nothing was online to view like they are now.

common stuff like History of Meat Loaf Live, Meltdown, and In The Neighborhood were obscure rarities very little fans saw back in the day.

my little pet-project became a little empire till I got my first termination notice and a bunch of my videos were posted by other people lol. But that doesn't matter. What matters is Now pretty much all of those shows are viewable in one way or another online pretty easily. So future fans have it easy which makes it all worth while.

Adje made a list of dates that wouldnt have been readily accessed two weeks ago. Once his list gets complete it would be an invaluable resource.

I agree, I think it is a very interesting project to see how it has developed over the years fully knowing this is a work in progress. Adje has done very good research considering how little data may be available to compile from so many years back. I think it is a testament to Meat's work ethic and why he is a legend for his performing. No way the list gets completed that fast or without others contributing to help. Good work Adje.

You make some good points, but I wonder if legalities would rear their ugly head. I think that is why Steinman lets his stuff find it's way online, he wrote it and doesn't have to worry about paying anyone. I read where one of the guys from the band Boston "leaked" some stuff online years ago and it actually resulted in improved sales, and nobody knew it was him until he admitted it years after.

It's possible, especially with the time period Wario is referring to as I recall Meat sacked a band member for being pissed (or something along those lines.) If they have to give any sort of clearance for their work to be released then it could be a hurdle that isn't worth Meat's effort to jump over.

I remember that show and i know Meat does also, rain, rain and more rain, meat said "if any of you BLEEP BLEEP throw any more beer bottles at this stage im gonna leave and not come back" one more bottle came and off Meat went not to return, maybe a 30 minute showing or so...opened with "Summertime Blues"
There was supposed to be a date the night before at The MArquee in London, it got cancelled for some reason.

trvspain · 16 Sep 2011, 15:28

you're missing the infamous 7/28/2011 Pittsburgh show from the Hang Cool Tour. He also played the Sternwheel Regatta in Charleston, WV on August 25, 1990. Great list Adje, keep up the good work

Wednesday Jul 20, 1994 – Charleston, WV

This show was cancelled due to a combination of poor weather and ticket sales.

Evil One · 16 Sep 2011, 16:42

Poor ticket sales when Meat was insanely popular. That says something about WV.

trvspain · 16 Sep 2011, 17:26

I live in WV (close to where Randy Flowers is from) and on an odd note, when he played the Regatta here in 1990, the crowd estimates were 75,000.
