Comments about this gig posted on messageboards and mailing lists include:
"Meat Loaf’s entourage of guitars stormed the stage first: Randy Flowers, Paul Crook, Mark Alexander and Kasim Sulton zipped across the stage in unison jamming on a blues-rock riff as drummer John Micelli joined them to segue into the song, "Whore." Patti Russo and CC - Loaf’s two backup singers chimed in, looking like wispy dominatrixes in glittery bustiers and dangling chains."

"Patti and Kasim, and John, Mark, CC, Randy and Paul are the best band I've ever seen - I really think the best band anywhere, and if I hardly took my eyes off Meat last night, I hope I can be forgiven for that. They are all fantastic performers, and if I have the good fortune to meet them, I hope to tell them so."

"Most of the people on stage had family and friends in the audience: John had his whole family there, CC was under escort of her friendly husband and Paul's young wife was also there. I am sure there were many more family, but these were the people we recognized."

"The live arrangements allowed Meat Loaf ample opportunity to rest his voice so he can timely let it loose at the right moments. His two back-up singers, C.C. and Patricia Russo, did a superb job of subtly protecting Meat's voice and, when necessary, the well-versed audience added in the lyrics, just as excited to join in the fun."

"The third of the show that consisted of non-Bat Out Of Hell material was notably weaker. While the band was exceptional, without Steinman's arrangements, the songs were mismatched with the power and majesty of Meat Loaf's voice. A notable exception was the encore of Mercury Blues, the perfect vehicle for the band to loosen up and jam."

"During the good, bad and even the boring songs, Meat Loaf's band earned high marks for lending the singer's music a near-metal heaviness. As for the quality of Meat's voice he consistently sang well, only hitting cringe notes when he pushed the emotion of the lyrics beyond his big range."
