| I do believe Meat is trying to save face by including Jim and his music as much as possible in this current tour, I have been told by people who have seen various shows in this tour that he has indeed used the clip before. This reeks more of a return to the glory of Bat II, when I think he used the clip in many shows as well than of anything else? Then again, if you are doing the 3 bat albums in one tour and are trying to be as close to the originals as you can be, you would expect the Jim intro on You Took The Words, now wouldn't you... So perhaps he is just doing what he thinks does the Bat Trilogy most justice? Indeed only Jim can indicate whether he takes offence in Meat's choices here... but then again... this might indeed renew people's interest in the original Bat album and might turn out well for Jim in the end... That all depends on what other cards these men have in their hands and up their sleeves and how they choose to play them?
