Concert Review

Meat Loaf Halloween Concert Review at Pechanga Resort Show Room.

 

The night started out great with the Meet and greet, Meat was in a very jolly mood laughing and joking with the elite Thirty-five of us that chose the special package.

He talked with everyone. He graciously received gifts from his fans and talked to each of us. After the 20 to 25 minute time we had with Meat we were broken down into small groups and lead onto a short backstage tour after which we left the showroom so we could return at 7pm for the concerts opening act, Dead Rose Beauty they took the stage around 7:45- 8Pm and played till 8:30 pm then it was onto a quick set change and around 9pm the theater went dark the crowd cheered it was Time for the legend to bring down the house Meat opened with

Overall Great concert Meat Sounded great Looked awesome was not a bad night

The venue was nearly full a few empty seats in the back of the Showroom. This place was 1000 times better than the PALA Casino ballroom. The sound was right on queue.

Some of the (good 90% ) audience should have stayed home. When Meat Loaf waves his arms to get you to stand up DO IT he wants to see you Standing and Dancing in your seats and it is a must for you to stand and sing your part on “You Took the Words”. You can’t sing it sitting down it does not work. Meat does not really get the true Fan or Concert goers when he does (Indian) Casino Shows. This Concert was the best I have seen In a long time.

 

 Due to the current restriction Meat put on about Cameras Not being allowed I was not able to get any pictures. For those fans that did not honor his wishes you should be ashamed of yourselves.
