Not necessarily. Perhaps if he did "Bat Out Of Hell" on the London date with Jim, the Neverland Express and the symphonic orchestra. Then he did "Back Into Hell" on the Paris date (not sure if he'd sing the whole album) and "The Final At Bat" in New York. Hmmm...

O/T though, another point I've been meaning to air, I think Meat has lost his stagemanship. He's still a great menacing performer (that's what I admired, not the singing. The voice is shot.) but it just seems goofy when he does the big Meat Loaf act and he's an old guy with short hair dressed almost conservatively like someone who should be doing remakes of 40s love songs. In his prime, Meat with this towering gothic giant with long streaming hair, lungs of steel, slightly resembling Monstro the Whale from Disney's "Pinocchio". He was a huge operatic character. That's what blew me away. Even in the 90s, watch "Bat II: Picture Show", and he's this cinematic character. Where did all that go? That's why I say step aside and pass the baton to some younger person who's totally insane and mythic, not an old guy who's like a male Norma Desmond escaped from "Sunset Boulevard" filming "Salome".
