Meat Loaf Birmingham LG (NEC) Arena 12/04/2013
I have to talk about this show.
Meat Loaf: Last At Bat
So I have been to MANY Meat Loaf shows (some mind blowing, some ok, some awful) but this was a first...
The show was structured into two parts, with the second part being all of the songs from Bat Out Hell in their original album order.
The time on the ticket stated 8pm and they weren't kidding! After waiting for more than half an hour at the merchandise stand because they only had one working card terminal for the whole building!!! I had time to eat a handful of chips before with a megaphone announced "the show was about to start and there would be no support act".
Set List (Part One):
Opened with "When I'm Sixty-Four" (The Beatles)
Runnin For The Red Light (I Gotta Life)
Life Is A Lemon (And I Want My Money Back)
Dead Ringer For Love
If It Ain't Broke (Break It)
Los Angeloser
The Giving Tree
Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
Out Of The Frying Pan (Into The Fire)
Meat's vocals were ok during the first half, he still has the power there for the most part and certainly gave it everything he had.
The band were awesome as ever.
Set List (Part Two):
Bat Out Of Hell
Bat Out Of Hell
You Took The Words Rigtht Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)
Heaven Can Wait
All Revved Up With No Place To Go
Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
For Crying Out Loud
Vocals were much better in the second half and Meat seemed some how more relaxed.
I still can't get used the having "Bat" midway through the show, I believe it should always be at the end but hey.
Each song was preceded by clips from "Classic Albums" which I understand the reason for but it was just a little wierd as for me its all about the music and the performance and think that just broke it up.
Meat got very emotional leading into "Heaven" he seemed genuinely moved by saying goodbye to the venue he has been visiting since 1981.
Loved the inflatables during "Bat" and "Paradise".
Encore
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Boneyard
"Anything For Love" was abridged as it has been for a few years now, Meat came in part way through the song. But it was really good.
Fantastic energy during Boneyard and still one of my fav tunes.
In conclusion despite the fact that Meat's vocals were not the best I have heard, I would have to say this was a great show. Really enjoyed it throughout and ears are still aching.
Keep Rockin' forever Meat.
Loves ya. x

Greys Anatomy
Again been a little while since I watched but am very glad I did, really enjoyed both of these episodes for both individual story lines and also on-going character building.
Season 9 Episode 19: Can't Fight This Feeling
Great episode guest starring Sarah Chalke (Elliot in Scrubs).
There are hints that Jackson and April make get back together (I hope so).
Also Hunt shows what a great dad he would be (sure that old peanut ain't going away).
Meredith asks Bailey to test her for the Alzheimer's gene.
Season 9 Episode 20: She's Killing Me
Continuing story from previous episode.
Plus patients start coming in with post op infections for which intern Leah takes the blame from Bailey.
However the episode ends with the revelation that infact it was Bailey herself that was the link between the cases.
Awesome cliff-hanger and right at the point where the show goes on a break in the US, but not long to wait now.

Revolution Eps 5 & 6
Stopped watching Revolution for a while, but picked it back up where I left off and will get through the rest soon.
Episode 5 (Soul Train)
Episode 6 (Sex and Drugs)
This was my favorite of the two episodes as I think it was much darker in some respects.
The plot needs to pick up the pace a little though as it's becoming a bit "LOSTish".
