Kasim Sulton at the SECC, Glasgow
01.15 - Tonight Kasim Sulton plays the fifth concert of the European leg of the Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell III Tour. The concert tonight is at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (also known as SECC) In Glasgow, Scotland and is the only concert of the tour in Scotland.
This venue is Scotland's national venue for public events and it has five main exhibition halls of area up to 10,000 m². It is probably best known for hosting its concerts with acts such as The Rolling Stones, U2, Oasis, Genesis, Kylie Minogue, Sting and many others with concerts taking place every other night in the 8,200 seater Hall 4 although the concert tonight is mainly a standing General Admission concert with limited seating at the back.
The SECC was built in 1985 and has the nickname among locals of "The Big Red Shed", owing to its outward appearance which resembled a giant red painted warehouse. However the nickname has become redundant following the building being repainted grey in recent years!
The concert starts tonight at 7.30pm (with door opening at 6.00pm). The opening act will again be Marion Raven and the concert sold out months ago!

06.30 - Last night at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England tracks from Kasim Sulton's latest album All Sides were played as the 13,000 people attending the Meat Loaf concert entered the venue!
I got there on the late side but I was in time to hear both Yellow Cab and Minutes Slipping Past, plus part of I Wanna Be What I Am being played. Unfortunately I couldn't get close enough to the merchandise stand to see if copies of the album were available to purchase.

"That's me"!!!
When Meat Loaf introduced Kasim Sulton last night in Birmingham, he made him crouch down by the cartoon image on the drum riser and said that it was Kasim pictured when he was younger! In this photo you can see Kasim saying "That's me" and pointing to the cartoon!

Kasim Sulton at the MEN Arena, Manchester on Saturday night
01.00 - Some reviews by fans (with photos) have been posted about this gig in this thread here on Meat Loaf's official website MeatLoaf.net.
Apparently I incorrectly reported the colors of Kasim's clothes in the second half of the set (I'll blame the lighting where I was standing!). Kasim's suit was grey and his shirt was lilac. Lots of photos of this gig will be added later this week.

Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell III Tour Mileage
19.00 - Tomorrow night Kasim Sulton plays the third concert of the European leg of the Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell III Tour. The concert will be at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England. Birmingham is located more or less in the center of England.
Manchester to Birmingham is only 87 miles (south east) but will take about one hour forty minutes by road.
European Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell III Tour Mileage by road to date venue to venue (estimated) - 287 miles.
I did post on Thursday about how small England is compared to America which is why the tour mileage is so low!
(However spare a thought for someone like me who has already driven over 1,000 miles this tour as I have to keep returning to London for work between all the concerts!)

Details about this venue can be find in an entry on Thursday 10th May (below) but the venue is England's largest indoor venue being capable of accommodating up to 21,000 people, although the way the seats are arranged for this concert I believe there will be about 17,000 there.

Doors open at 6.00pm and the show is expected to finish at 10.50pm.
