Actually it is...well...yesterday when you posted that was... *drum roll* ...the anniversary of my very first Meat Loaf gig ever! (and I had thoroughly intended to post to say so because I am sad like that but because I am also forgetful like that, I forgot)...it was at the Manchester Evening News Arena, I was right on the very front and it's going to stick with me for ever as one of the most memorable days of my life. I was looking at my photos from the show only yesterday and the memories came flooding back! The confusion and excitement of meeting so many people I'd been hearing about (only good, of course), and what should I expect, what songs would he do! Of course being Alex's Birthday made it all the more special and standing at the front with such an awesome view was amazing and I feel very priviledged to have had that experience! As I seem to remember also, we'd had a rather hectic weekend so far celebrating his Birthday (the gig was a Saturday) after family meal on the Friday and of course present-opening and a relaxing morning on the Saturday. Arrived in Manchester with the intention of doing a spot of shopping and having a lovely meal out and then I asked casually, as you do...whether Alex
had remembered the tickets... but no! in all the rush and confusion he had forgotten them! So we just had time to drive back home, get the tickets, get back to Manchester and eat out! But an amazing day all the same and I'm sure Alex will agree with me.
Anyway, to return to reality slightly (because I'm sure you're already getting fed up of me waffling) and continue responding to your post, that gig on May 12th (Saturday) was actually the second one of the tour which was on May 10th (I remember because Alex (who was my other half at the time) went to both of them...well, as well as tonnes of others!) so this time last year we'd be now recovering from both of the first two Manchester dates
Thinking about it is getting me ever so looking forward to July!!
