My questions:
1. Would the acustics in the hall have been that bad to throw the band off? There was alot of feedback, screatching, lights being turned on at the wrong time like there was someone running the show that did not know what they were doing.
2. Could Meat have been sick? He cancelled back in April in Tampa and Orlando, so I guess he felt maybe he couldn't cancel again?
3. Maybe I have a better ear for music since I've been listening to him non-stop on my Ipod for 6 months?
4. Does he and the band know that they sucked?
Doesn't matter.... I still love him... and would go everyweek if I could!!

1. Yes but usually not that bad that it would throw them off. Some artists just can't sing live for the life of them.
2. prob not, but never know. they can cxl when and if they want but will face some financial repercussions.
3. that sometimes makes you feel like you know it all to well and don't want to hear it different than it was recorded.
4. they usually know. I had always thought that Meatloaf didn't sing to well live from the few recording's I have heard, so it was prob just him and the band. They prob had a local lighting guy who didn't know the cue's but they usually travel with the sound guy's.
