Click here to read a thread of posts about the concert last night.

The next concert on the tour is on Thursday 10th May in Manchester, England, plus Meat Loaf (and possibly Kasim Sulton) is listed as appearing live(ish) on a UK TV show on Saturday 5th May.

Kasim's journal currently has 6 votes and the site in first place has 1,205 but the gap between Kasim's position and 5th place is only 32 votes so that's easily achievable. Registration is necessary to vote but nobody has reported receiving any spam through the vote.

Tickets are currently available for this concert in the 20th row of the orchestra. Click here to purchase tickets.

Due to Meat Loaf's illness the last full concert they played on the Meat Loaf Seize The Night (Bat Out Of Hell III) Tour was on Friday 30th March (over two weeks ago) in Hershey, PA. The next concert on the tour (after Monday) is on Thursday 10th May in Manchester, England, plus Meat Loaf (and possibly Kasim Sulton) is listed as appearing live(ish) on a UK TV show on Saturday 5th May.

Some of the concerts have been rescheduled as follows:
4/3 - Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater, FL moved to 9/1
4/5 - Mizner Amphitheater, Boca Raton, FL moved to 8/30
4/12 - Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY moved to 7/18
4/13 - Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY moved to 7/20
Refunds are available from the point of purchase for people who can not make the rearranged dates.

The concert that was to have been played on Tuesday (10th) at the Chevrolet Theatre in Wallingford, CT will not be rescheduled so refunds are available for that show.

Currently the concert at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC which was to have been played on 1st April but was moved to Monday 16th April is still going ahead on that date.

The rescheduled date for the Orlando, FL concert has not yet been announced.

Obviously these rescheduled concerts will have an impact on which concerts by The New Cars that Kasim Sulton will be able to play and will reduce the amount of free time that he'll have available to play solo gigs this summer.

The Meat Loaf Seize The Night (Bat Out Of Hell III) Tour and the Gigs sections of the website have been updated with these changes.

To promote the single Meat Loaf is listed as appearing on several UK radio shows (most of which stream on the Internet) although unfortunately they are currently all listed as just interviews and not performances so Kasim is unlikely to be involved. However there is supposed to be an interview and performance on the BBC1 show Any Dream Will Do on Saturday 5th May which could well include Kasim. Any Dream Will Do is a "reality TV show" where they are choosing the lead for the musical Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor® Dreamcoat. The show is aired on primetime Saturday night television (at around 7.45pm) and this past Saturday was the third most watched show of the evening with 5.9 million tuning in (the population of UK is about 60 million) which was a 29.8% share of the television viewing market at that time. (The top rated show of the evening had 6.8 million viewers with a 35.8% share of the audience but all viewing figures were down that weekend due to it being Easter.)

Meat Loaf has also now been confirmed as performing at the Concert For Diana at the newly rebuilt Wembley Stadium on Saturday 1st July (which would have been Princess Diana's 46th birthday). This is a massive concert that is being screened live on UK television and is expected to by syndicated across the world as well as being in front of 90,000 people at the stadium. It is not yet known whether Meat Loaf will be playing with his own band (in which case Kasim would be performing too) or whether there will be a house band. Tickets for this event sold out a couple of months ago although more are expected to go on sale sometime soon.

Fans have posted on various mailing lists and messageboards various flu related ailments that they've heard that is wrong with Meat Loaf. Apparently he wasn't 100% at the concert he played in Hershey, PA on 30th March and they have since canceled 4 concerts (plus only played 4 songs at another show). The next concert is scheduled to be in New York City on Thursday (12th).

Currently it appears that the concert is still going ahead as it is still listed on the venue website (although it is a Live Nation website and they are not the fastest at posting updates) and tickets are still for sale for the show.
