The Rotterdam concert was fantastic. Meat sounded like he did in the late 90's early 2000 tours. Dutch crowd loved it. But the set list is wrong. He didn't play 'You've Got to Love Me With the Sun In Your Eyes'. But, because the Dutch fans were so loud and enthusiastic Meat added an extra encore and played all the songs from Bat 2 in the right order. What a night!

Meat mentioned that the show was being recorded for a BluRay release in May.

Really enjoyed the unheard 27 minute version of Paradise at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle. Interestingly GATW was further developed into the original 60 movement version at that show, that Steinman originally wrote on the back of a Tic Tac box in 1968, before Tic Tacs were even produced.

Hopefully it was recorded in 4K 3D.

Yeah, that was awesome!! I was there too. I still can't believe he invited me on the stage to sing the backing vocals together with all the ladies during 'Frying Pan'.

Instead of penis shaped T shirt gas launchers they used crossbows and arrows made out of shirts at the end. Was good.... for the ones who didn't get shot at.

That bit where the giant animatronic dragon with the forked tongue popped out of the floor during "Tongues" was totally unexpected!

I can't believe that you're all so overwhelmed with the show that you've haven't even mentioned the part about the new record of all new Steinman songs across 3 discs (and 12 vinyl records). Meat Loaf said that it's going to be his last, final, promise, cross my heart album with an extensive 6 year tour (usually it'd only be 6 months, but they needed the time to get all of the Steinman songs in -- each show lasting on average 16 and a half hours). After that, Meat starts on his long awaited Celebrity Bowling show for Fox TV.

Well, duh, with the spectacle going on inside the arena proper, the bar was the only spot where he could set up a mixing desk! (Given his sense of humor on display in his musical, he probably thought it was oddly appropriate to do the mixing where the most mixing goes on that night.)

Rory Dodd sang the 1983 version of Skull of your Country when he opened the concert as co-support with Kasim Sultan and Steve Buslowe.

I hear Ted Neeley did the whole of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' in the interval, but I got this from a dubious source so it could be wrong.

You missed it? Must have been a bathroom break. Meat called him up during the intro of "Read 'Em and Weep" purely to throw a mic stand at him.
