PARADISE ~ this was shorter again tonight & to be honest it was better ~ it was beginning to drag.....

   

followed by the bands bow before the acoustic set ~ at the end of Paradise Meat says to drop the curtain ~ tonight it got stuck at the end as you can see from this picture:

Meat sits down for the acoustic & asks everybody how they're doing to huge cheers from the crowd.... Meat then says that he is gonna bring out Charlie ...... he then goes on to say about his folk band & that they're not gonna do that tonight..... bursting in to a short folk song....

Meat then brings on Tom followed by Ray ~ saying that he had played the guitar well tonight. next came Damon followed by Pearl.... Next is John then Patti followed by Meat intro Kas as the bass player from Bat out of hell. 

Then they begin the acoustic set with Midnight at the lost & found

Meat then says about stump the band  ~ they then begin to play Honky Tonk Woman with Kas singing first.... Then Patti done another great version of Oh Darling ~ which was requested by Meat, Meat told the story of Patti's audition of the band again.

   

Then Meat says he has had another request & that as its Pearls Birthday tomorrow instead of us singing to her she's gonna sing to us.....  Pearl sang another great version of Mercedes Benz.

Meat then said that it was time to play stump the band ~ They played 1999.......

Two outta three was next followed by the last of the acoustic set ~ You took the words

           

Bat outta hell was after the acoustic as usual.... After this though me & Kat was in for a major surprise....... We were so used to Bat being the last song that we put our coats on. Every one was shouting for an encore & we both were saying to each other "no chance" well there was & it was excellent!!!!!!! They came back & played Johnny B good This was the first & last time we heard this on the tour ~ but it was amazing....

After the show we managed to get to speak to most of the band. I got a set list after the show & asked John to add Johnny B good to it....

Pearl & Tom also signed it for me & last but not least Meat also signed it for me.........
