It was supposed to be his first concert in my city in almost 15 years. Btw, he still hasn't come back on any subsequent tour. He's toured the UK about 42 times in that time period though.

I haven't looked at all the dates, but I think that Meat's played NY a little bit more. I'm having a hard time relating.

He's only done about 22 tours total

Do you mean 42 shows?

It's called exaggeration.

Thanks for the info!
Meat, you don't happen to have something with tourdates on it? To complete this list some more?

Obvious question... Did the set list contain Rawhide?

Leanne79 · 29 Apr 2014, 23:59

I think I could have been 94 in Manchester the very first time I saw Meat cant be quite sure. Meat got pushed onto the stage on a hospital bed this he had had some health things going on and was making fun of it
I was 14 or 15 and I was being a grumpy teenager Dad took me which now would be great but at that age you really don't wan to go anywhere with your Dad. but if I could only go back and have that one time with him again it would be priceless.
Anyway after the show I was far from grumpy and he was the best Dad in the world well until we fell out again

duke knooby · 30 Apr 2014, 00:02

could it have been late '03 Leanne? I remember he started some shows from his "hospital bed" at that time :)

hhhuuuummmm now you have me thinking I may have to go into the parents attic of a thousand spiders to find the box of old ticket stubbs I do remember being quite young the first time I went to see Meat

duke knooby · 30 Apr 2014, 00:21

if i remember right, which is doubtful, he opened the later 94 shows with "anything for love", and "do it" opened the late 03 tour

Leanne79 · 30 Apr 2014, 00:28

I probably have the two mixed up but I was defiantly still at school the first time I went and 03 I would have been in my twenty's and I went with a group of people anyways they are all good shows even if I cant remember which one is which

It would have been the CHSIB tour in 2003 when, after he dropped like a stone on stage at Wembley, he had surgery for his WPW syndrome. When he returned to the tour he cocked a Meat-style snook at what he'd been through, starting the show by being wheeled onto the stage in darkness on a theatre trolley, we heard the sound of him flat-lining and then Patti and CC in white nurses' uniforms shocked him back to life .. and the show started!!

Those shows after his recovery, on stage he was like a man re-born .. which he probably felt he was!

Leanne79 · 30 Apr 2014, 05:39

thanks everyone for having a better memory than me am going with it being 03 for the bed thing just because I don't want to go into the attic of a thousand spiders to find the old ticket stubs as I am a massive wimp

I seem to recall him opening the show I saw with 'Frying Pan'.

Sounds right. Basically Meat started the tour with AFL. During April 1994 in Europe he started with Frying Pan. Back in the States they first started again with AFL but (I believe in June or July) they started the set more often with Frying Pan. Back in Europe they played the set starting with AFL several times.

Globally they were like this (Early UK shows, starting with FP, had Dead Ringer as encore)

01 Out of the Frying pan
02 You Took the Words
03 All Revved Up
04 Life is a Lemon
05 Rock and Roll Dreams
06 Wasted youth Speech
07 Anything For love
08 Heaven Can Wait
09 Objects in the Rearview Mirror
10 Bat Out of Hell
11 Paradise By The Dashboard light
12 Everything Louder than Everything Else

or

01 Anything For love
02 You Took the Words
03 All Revved Up
04 Rock and Roll Dreams
05 Two Out of Three
06 Out of the Frying pan
07 Wasted youth Speech
08 Life is a Lemon
09 Heaven Can Wait
10 Objects in the Rearview Mirror
11 Bat Out of Hell
12 Paradise By The Dashboard light
13 Everything Louder than Everything Else

The show I attended in Sheffield at the end of '94 started with Frying Pan. He also did - iirc - Heaven Can Wait, which he said was being filmed for the Princes Trust (?)

That was very weird. I actually remember that being aired. He did this emotional speech thanking everyone for 17 years and you could see and hear Mark Alexander playing the intro in the background. Meat finished the speech and then it cut to Lemon! Pfffft!

Wasn't that Cardiff?

He did a similar speech during the Cardiff 1993 bootleg indeed.
