Actually, I agree with you...
From what I have seen from the posted made by many of you, Meats set list for his TMiL tour is predominantly BAT 1 & 2 with a few of 3 thrown in.
If he is going to do a doco on the tour where the majority of the music played is Jim's then why not mention Jim. Even as a courtesy gesture to the man who helped him get where he is instead of seemily to just drop his name as an after thought.
The majority of the songs on TMiL were supplied by Jim anyway, were they not? and the ones chosen from the album for the tour where the ones contributed by Jim, arn't they?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just my opinion.
