And also the screens in the background for the videos associated with most of the songs.

For instance for two out of three ain't bad He said something along the lines of "You'll recognise Jimmy in this video...alongside some other young guy singing"

The first concert memory of seeing Meat in December 2994, was during Anything for Love, Meat had his arm outstretched to our side of the crowd and the amount of people jumping up, including myself, trying to touch his hand was incredible!

I have to update this...for one that I';m surprised no one picked up on my concert being in december 2994!

and secondly that I would have to rank Liverpool as one of the best Meat Loaf shows overall that I have been to...probably a lot to do with meeting a load of people, and being so close to the stage and not having to stand for ages...still was a great night

If I live to the year 2994 I'll be sure to attend that show - thanks for the heads up!

Does this have to be Meat Loaf specific? because of it isn't then Prince's Trust, Hyde Park, London 1996 with The Who, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Alanis Morrisette was probably the greatest concert I ever attended.

My favourite or most memorable would have to be the Bad Attitude tour for affects at the time. Meat has produced many better songs than at that time IMHO but the stage was amazing. That tour was released on video, not sure where it was filmed but I saw the Manchester Apollo gig. There was a huge motorbike on stage and the drummer & drum kit was on the seat of the bike (it wasn't JM at the time, can't remember who it was), MA was on keyboards on the handlebars if I remember rightly, the guitarists and Meat were down on the stage. Not sure if the backing girls were up on the exhaust of the bike or something, it's a bit sketchy now coz it was around 1984 I think but it was amazing. Meat even had the engine of the bike double up as a small fridge for his cold drinks

I remember I bought a Suzuki jacket from the merchandise store - bright yellow it was with a blue & white stripe down the sleeve. It had Meat Loaf & The Neverland Express across the back, I wore it everywhere. What memories

Since then though, every tour just seems to get bigger & bigger & better.

I was at that show too! Very front row! In fact, I was the third one to arrive at the stage when they opened the gates and Harvey Goldsmith was saying on the PA for everyone to not run, and just walk carefully into the park - like that was gonna happen with 100,000 trying to get near the front

Of course in those days I could actually run lol

I'm a big fan of The Who, and the fact that a ticket for that whole amazing lineup was only £8.50 is startling in this day of astronimical pricing

That show is definitely in my top five I've seen so many artists live, it's seriously an addiction I have

My fav has to be my first Meat Loaf show. It was at Wembley Arena, on the 14th May 1999.

It was AMAZING

[ChoccyBat]

Gotta be RAH. Many gigs before it, but for atmosphere, set list, his voice, etc etc, it was amazing. And I'll never forget that version of Objects as long as I live. Being close enough to touch him was an amazing experience too!

My thoughts exactly. Indeed the atmosphere was out of this world at RAH. Such a shame it was not recorded for live cd I think.

Nottingham on Wednesday was awesome too though imo. I really felt that RAH magic there as well if I'm honest.

[Battybarb]

As i said in a previous post RAH has to be my favourite..that does take some beating...but for me any Meat concert is the best...
Second to that went to see IL Divo last year at Wembley ,not really my choice but was dragged along by my sister in law as someone let her down,must say though live they were pretty awesome...

[sexyeyes_jo]

to be honest i haven't really been to many meat loaf's concerts but there are two that was my fav it had to be RAH and Wembley last year in may.

[Battybarb]

i wonder why Wembley ,last year...lol

I've only ever been to two Meat Loaf gigs and that's twice as many as some on here. I'm reluctant to put either of those down as 'the greatest' as neither of them was 'that great' although they were good. I think the thread has the potential to go into a oneupmanship competition for those who's been to dozens of show.

Mark Alexander wasn't with Meat on this tour, Paul Jacobs played piano on this tour with someone else on keys. The drummer at the time was Andy Wells
My dad went to the Sheffield show on this tour.
The live show that was released on video was recorded at Brixton Academy in London, think it was a fan club show?

[Renegade Angel]

Fave shows was Sheffield City Hall 17th March 1988, I was 12 years old. It was amazing, The band were superb and Meat was at his peak.
The show last almost 3 hours, set list was as follows:

Out of the frying pan
Masculine
You took the words
Come in the night
Original Sin Intro
Bad For Good
Peel Out instrumental
Im Gonna Love Her for Both of Us
Dance In My Pants
Modern Girl
Lost Boys and Golden Girls
Bat Out Of Hell
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Midnight At The Lost and Found
Deadringer for Love
Rock N' Roll medley.

Meat arrived on stage in a straight jacket, dressed as Captain Hook and did loads of theatrics - it doesn't get much better than that!

[batty babe]

You're all making me feel very old.......I don't think you can beat your first Meat concert & mine was 1982 Birmingham NEC!

[Siobhan]

My first Meat concert was the one in May last year - I was fourteen then...

[MeatGrl1]

Meat Loaf in London, 2nd August as recent because I got to hear Bring Me A Bible And A Beer live !!

[maghay]

My favourote concert or should i say it was a tour,every gig on the 1988 10th anniversary tour of Bat Out Of Hell",when Meat first started singing songs from "Bad for good",anyone and everyone should check out Warioloaf's version's on youtube,Meat's voice is by far the strongest it has ever been,imho,thanks for sharing and taking me back Warioloaf.
