Review by Jack Suslak:
This was a great show tonight no doubt about it. This was my first show ever and he didnt disappoint at all. I still wished he added 2 out of 3 and objects, but what he has in the setlist seems to work really well.

One thing I did notice how business like he was, didnt really mention Boston until the end of the show, and kinda thought I would get more intros and banter. But the band was on fire tonight and they sounded great. But I got to say I was impressed how solid Meat's voice was the entire night and it was still the very powerful instrument that it has always been.

And the crowd in Boston tonight was good they were into the whole performance and most of the crowd did stand and you could definitely tell that Meat and the Band fed off of that.

Well thanks Meat and the Neverland Express, you made this already big fan enjoy you even more and I cant wait to see you again the next time you come to Boston.

PS- Add Two Outta Three Ain't Bad back into setlist again.

Comments posted by fans on various mailing lists and messageboards include:
"It was a hell of a show. The whole first few rows were standing throughout the show."

"The most humorous "oopsie" moment would have to be Meat's struggling with a wardrobe malfunction during BOOH. He just couldn't seem to get his vest on after finishing "Paradise". He put it on twice, took it back off, thought he had it, then had to go for it AGAIN, and by this point he looked over at Kasim and just started laughing."

"Monday night for a well-attended gig at the Bank of America Pavilion with his trusty eight-piece band, Neverland Express, Meat Loaf drew from all three “Bat” discs and left his other releases untouched."

"I was at the NH show last week and, good as that was, this just... crushed it. Granted, being front row center probably helped my perception of the experience, but the crowd was totally on its feet the whole time (as opposed to NH, where they sort of did the sit-stand routine that seemed to agitate Meat somewhat), Meat was smiling through the whole thing, and the band TORE the songs apart (in a good way)."

"But try as he did, the magic eluded him. He sounded weak, barely able to enunciate, and his hand shook profusely while he barked lines. Actually, it was hard to watch."

"Kasim was right in front of me and he was into my jamming all night so I held my hand out in gesture for a pic and he must have thrown at least 10 of them at me. Let me tell ya that guy can throw a fast ball! I kept just missing them, one hit my shoulder and I went to grab it and a lady next to me stepped right on my hand and grabbed it and Kasim was laughing his ass off. Finally I caught one in mid air and showed him I finally got one and he was really cracking up."
