Went to see Meat Loaf a few days ago.  To say that it was terrible would be an insult to truly terrible shows.  It was stunningly bad.  Uncomfortable to watch.  Painful to listen.\n\nIn fairness, Meat Loaf has always been over the top and goes all-in on every song he sings and everything he does.  You know that going in.  It's either going to be an epic success or a train wreck.  There is no middle ground with Mr. Loaf.  This particular evening was a train wreck.  Not the normal kind where the train derails and a couple cars flip over.  This was the kind where someone falls asleep at the switch and six trains collide, with 250 cars in a mangled pile of wreckage.  In the rain.\n\nAs others have acknowledged, the band and the backup singers were quite good.  The venue is fine.  Had Meat Loaf's vocals not sounded like a bag of cats, it would have been a great evening.
