Thanks for the update Meat. Good to hear from you, it's real good of you to take the time.

Make sure you take it easy (I know this is easier said than done!) and I wish you a real speedy recovery!

Take care of yourself!
Luv Terri

Hi.. I'm new to this message Board though I am a member on the MeatBoards here in the US.

I'm sorry to hear of Meat's temporary (i hope) illness. As I recall when he toured the last time he fell ill as well. He wouldn't disappoint his fans. I don't see Meat being capable of that. He loves his fans, you can tell by how he interacts with them and he is a showman no matter what. To put on the kind of shows I've seen him put on requires all his energy. To be even a little under the weather would be unfair to him or us. I would never think that he would cancel a performance because he did fill all the seats. It's not about the people who don't come... it's about the people who do.

I teach computers here. Everyday I have to get up in front of my students and, no matter how I feel, give them what they came for... knowledge of computers. I know what it's like to have to do something even though you don't feel well. It's hard on me and my students notice the difference immediately. I believe it's because of Meat's love for his fans that he cancelled. If you can't do something right don't do something half-a**ed.

When he was sick and the performance was postponed to the following day he seemed to appreciate even more the people who still came to see him. HE knows you need to rearrange your schedule. He knows that you make the sacrifice to come and see him still. He does reward you with his powerful voice and emotional songs.

Love him and trust that he would never let you down.

Meat... I hope you feel better. Take care of that beautiful voice.

Agreed Pauline. Meat's said he hates to cancel because he knows how ticked he feels when a show he's going to has to be.

Everything Meat does shows he appreciates and cares about his fans. Hell .. he even comes to post in this forum!

I don't think he should feel the need to apologise or explain himself. He has always been trustworthy and gracious to his fans. Anyone who suggests otherwise is talking through their sombrero!! He deserves our loyalty, support and understanding. He does not imo deserve suggestions that he would feign illness as an excuse .. EVER!

Would like to know what that is, please.

Take care,

Meat
Thank you for taking the time to update us and every best wish for strength and good health for what lies ahead of you in this mammoth tour.
I have been much saddened to see doubts cast on your actions and intentions on other sites on the net

Here's hoping you are gonna be feeling much better soon - but take as long as you need - your health is the most important thing here.

Take care of you, hun.

CHSIB is out in NZ now, but it is the Europe version with a red cover and no bonus disc. It's going to be relaunched in Australia and New Zealand in October, so I wonder if this will be a new version with extra live tracks, as Meat has said.

And I'm also wondering if there is any more info about Meat's day of promo in NZ in October, NZ/Australia tour dates, and the `rugby finals' performance (I can't find any rugby event for Oct 2 as Meat said). Are you able to give more info Meat?

RECEIVED THIS ON MY YAHOO ALERT AND WONDER IF IT'S NOT WHAT MEAT IS MAKING REFERENCE TO?

Post-Concert CD Business Gains Ground
Fri Aug 8, 7:22 PM ET
Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo!

By Susanne Ault LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - They'll probably never replace T-shirts, but live CDs are starting to make headway as the new concert souvenir.
Throughout this event-heavy summer, live concerts are being recorded onto discs and sold shortly after the performances. Post-concert CDs are typically two- or three-disc sets that sell for about $20 each. Few major acts have agreed to participate in this new concert merchandising segment, and most of the activity is taking place at small venues. Revenue has been modest. Still, two high-profile concert-CD startup companies -- DiscLive and Instant Live -- believe they can eventually win the faith of the industry's biggest names. "It's clearly going to take some time for this to be a widely accepted format," says Steve Simon, executive VP of music for Clear Channel Entertainment (CCE), which operates Instant Live. Instant Live is in the midst of its first big test, with a run of amphitheater dates by the Allman Brothers Band. At the first show, an Aug. 3 performance at Meadows Music Center in Hartford, Conn., all 500 three-CD packages available sold for $22 apiece. The buyers represented an impressive 10% of the total crowd. DiscLive's opening salvo involved three June shows by Jefferson Starship in the Northeast. At those shows, the company sold a total of 225 CD bundles. That means 25% of the 900 people in attendance bought the $25 CD sets, according to DiscLive founder Rich Isaacson, the former head of Loud Records. Since then, DiscLive has pacted with management firm 10th Street Entertainment, whose acts -- including Hanson, Motley Crue, Yes and Meat Loaf -- will likely use the company's services for future tours.

If it is Tink, I hope that such cds are available for everyone to purchase, not just for those who can get to the concert.
