On this day, 19 Nov 1984, American vocalist Meatloaf played St David’s Hall in Cardiff.
Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947), better known as Meat Loaf, is noted for his powerful, wide-ranging voice and theatrical live shows. His Bat Out of Hell trilogy—Bat Out of Hell, Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, and Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose—has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.
His visit at the time to showcase his new release Bad Attitude was publicised like this.....
It’s 1984 and Meat Loaf has a new album and a new label. This fresh start has brought the best out in the man, as he’s willing to testify. I think the songs are superior this time, he says about ‘Bad Attitude’. My last sounded small. We need that ‘wall of sound’ applied with my vocals. This record has some real classic songs. The single, ‘Modern Girl’, is as good as anything I’ve ever done! Strong stuff! The album was done in 60 days working 13-14 hours a day, and in the style of Meat’s duet with Cher the title cut ‘Bad Attitude’ sees the big man battling with ex-Who star Roger Daltrey
