Fire Ball gave it all!

Guppie · 24 Apr 2003, 02:37

He's got it and he gives it. He gave it all tonight.
After all these years, concert after concert: he still gives it everything he's got. That's what makes Meat-concerts unique. I've never seen a better live performer.

And Gerard, a dutch DJ, got to perform with Meat (Johnny B. Good) I'm gonna mail that DJ tomorrow, to compliment him. He has CHSIB on his playlist every day.

I'll leave the more detailed comments to the other Dutchies.

Bonus for me: I got to meet (posting on this forum): Mariella, Bart, Tim and Michel. Cloggy: sorry I didn't get to shake your hand.

And: in the hallway: R. recognised me and said: "Guppie?" I said yes and we shook hands too.

But R... how did you know it was me? I never send you a picture or anything...

I had the best evening ever. And Meat said he's coming back in december. And then he'll perform "For crying out loud" too, and that's one of my favorates...

1.30 am over here.

JulesB · 24 Apr 2003, 02:44

It sounds like you all had a wonderful time! How great for all of you. I can't wait to read the reviews tomorrow. I'm so glad everyone got to meet each other.

Shane · 24 Apr 2003, 02:48

So what if you made mistakes. You are a great performer, no matter what. The Dutch audience doesn't expect perfection. We want Meat, we want fire works... see the sparks fly... from the minute you enter the stage you OWN the stage AND the audience.
That's what going to a concert is all about.

Gina · 24 Apr 2003, 03:29

mariella · 24 Apr 2003, 11:13

What else can I say, absolutely loved the show!!! Thank You so much!

Second time you did DIST and CHSIB, well, it sounded fantastic and I am not the only one who thinks so. So many people singing along to the songs. Made me very happy.

"The mistakes", well, they didn't bother anyone I think, and EVERYONE on that stage was giving it all they got. It was absolutely mind-blowing

Feel so lucky I was there!

It was great to 'meet' you, good to hear about the album sales!!
Very good to meet such devoted fans from Germany, the UK and ofcourse Holland.

Yes, this is a GREAT year,

Mariella

I Testify!

Dottie, at the M&G one of the first things Meat asked was "is Dottie here"?

Tim · 24 Apr 2003, 11:35

Fireball!!! You were super!! Great!! It was outstanding, and i'm very happy that i could be at the Meet and Greet!!!

Wow, It was the best day since long time for me!!

Thank you so very much!!

And Paul Crook, you rock!! You were great!!

I may not be able to speak or read dutch - but I can look at a photo if it's on the web.

Bart · 24 Apr 2003, 13:48

What a performance. what can i say. Incredible vocals on Anything for love, CHSIB and DIST. I can't remember when i heard BOOH that good. I can't remember when the interactive with the audience was that extraordinary. I can't remember when Meat was joking around like he did now.
The "mistakes" were , in fact, great to watch. So much humor in it.
And i have to admit: the german fans were really rocking the whole night. Way to go, folks!
I have noticed that Mark Alexander is as bald as i am. What the hell has happened to his curley hair? And patti: well, she looks really good now. i guess she spent a lot of time in the gym.
The meet and great was great. i did not say anything, just fun to watch and indeed he was wondering if Dottie was there.

He said: everybody wants to know why i put Do it on the record: because its funny, that's why!
Also
The album is on number 2 in the midweek chart in the UK, only beaten by the Material Girl but she had a better promotion.

What a night.

That's pretty ~~~~ing bald then.... ;p

As for the 5,5 for the show. I can understand that from your p.o.v. Meat, but anyone in the audience would give it a 10 no doubt. :)

Meat may call himself an actor, not a singer. In that case. He is an actor, that sings increddible.
