I know it dates me, but I got to see Meat Loaf on his original 1977 Bat Out of Hell tour at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium - 10th row seat.
Meat Loaf is a helluva singer, and his partner, Jim Steinman, is a helluva song writer (sort of the Wagner of rock).
A friend of mone answered an ad to buy hundreds of old vinyl records and drove to OH to get them. He was taken to a basement where he saw multiple gold records on the wall. They said Meatloaf, and Bonnie Tyler. Turns out he was buying Jim Steinam’s record collection.
and, frankly, I’d rather see a Meat Loaf concert than Colin Powell !
