Apparently Todd also said that the 4 members of Utopia "have recognized that
there is a 30th anniversary milestone coming up should they decide to do anything and they have all put aside some time next year for it".

18.15 - Tonight Meat Loaf held an online chat. The total transcript is available to read here but the main parts that relate to the tour (and therefore fans of Kasim) are:
They may play one or two new songs from Bat Out Of Hell 3
As far as visual effects are concerned: "I have no idea what we're doing right now, we're in the process of doing all kinds of things"
"The same people that have been in my band will be in the band. Because I got so ill the last tour, insurance won't let me play more than an hour and 45 minutes and I can't play in the winter."
"We're working on a teletext system where you can text messages on the stage."
Meat Loaf also mentioned that they will be playing in Iraq(?) and that after the tour (17th September) he will concentrate on recording

08.30 - According to fans, in an online chat that Todd Rundgren held last night, he was asked whether there will be any more, Liars Tour dates. He said that he didn't make any money out of the tour but "will do number crunching". As one fan put it - "so he didn't say never"! Todd has also spent the last ten days editing the Liars DVD (the LED lights caused problems). There will be a few bonus items on the DVD, and a video clip from the One World Fan Club Party in Toyko. Also, behind the scenes photos. Many thanks to Michele for this info.

Bronze - $12 plus the ticket price (for example at the Beacon Theater in New York the total price is $90.50 which includes the ticket price of $78.50). This package guarantees being able to purchase a ticket somewhere in the venue and expires on 1st April.

Gold - $150. This package guarantees a seat within row 2 to 15 (plus extras which are geared towards fans of Meat Loaf including a chance to possibly meet him). This option at each venue expires on 7th July and fans will be told after that date where exactly their seat will be located.
Platinum - $400. This package guarantees a seat within the first or second row (plus extras which are geared towards fans of Meat Loaf including a meet and greet with him). This option at each venue expires on 7th July and fans will be told after that date where exactly their seat will be located.
