So last night I went to see Meat Loaf in Concert for the second time. First time was about 4- 5 years ago on his Couldn't Have Said It Better World Tour, this time was on the Seize The Night or the "Three Bats" World Tour. We got to the arena about 6-6:30 and promptly went to the Merchandise booth. Got myself a nice Three Bats T-Shirt and a Seize The Night World Tour Hoody. Then took our seats, Block A - Row F that's.... 6 Rows from the stage. It didn't really hit you just how close that was until you got there and sat in those seats.

The support act came out about half 7, Marion Raven who sang with Meat Loaf on All Coming Back To Me Now. It was a pretty acoustic affair but I enjoyed it, she has a good voice and done a good job warming up the crowd.

About half 8 Meat himself took to the stage, the band started with a bit of All Revved Up then launched right into Paradise By The Dashboard Light. Cue Meat, A Wig, Aspen Miller, Cookies and some hilarious antics. A great opener for the show and everyone was into it.

I can't remember the set list because it was a really long show. He got through a huge amount of songs, seemed to favor Bat2 though which was fine with me because it's my fav album. The highlights would definately have to be:

-Objects In The Rear View Mirror (May Appear Closer Then They Are)
-Land Of The Pigs (Butcher Is King)
-Bat Out Of Hell
-If It Ain't Broke
-Out Of The Frying Pan
-Rock And Roll Dreams

I was also able to get a huge amount of pics from the show which I have uploaded to my photobucket account. I'll add a few more here as you can see I've got one so far but will add a few more later.

To sum it up it was an amazing show, the amount of energy he puts in is astounding and its really what sets him apart from other performers.
