This whole set-list with the theatrical motif is very weird, very atypical for Meat Loaf. I'm surprised he even agreed to do it this way, since he's never done it since, especially with all the "foreign" material in the set. Almost seems like Jimmy would have had to have had some influence here, and if not Jim, than someone else other than Meat. Its just not his style; its the style Jim impressed upon him back in '77.
