Meat Loaf concert chronology

Guilty Pleasure Tour is a concert tour by American rock musician Meat Loaf in support of his 2011 album Hell in a Handbasket. The tour only visited Australia and New Zealand; more dates were expected to be announced for mainland Europe and North America, but did not eventuate. The show in Sydney was filmed for DVD release. Meat Loaf has said that the tour's name came from a poll, which named him the number one "guilty pleasure". During the concerts, Meat Loaf announced to his fans that these concerts would be the "last he ever performed in Australia and New Zealand" and added a thank you to the fans for "38 years of support" for the duration of his career.

Reception

Meat Loaf's performance at the

Entertainment Centre
in Sydney (which will appear on the Guilty Pleasure DVD), Meat Loaf commented on his appearance at the AFL Grand Final and exclaimed that his bad performance was due to audio problems, as he "couldn't hear a thing".

His shows in Wollongong and Brisbane were much better received, with the

movie Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which the singer starred. The vocal troubles which plagued him during Saturday's performance appeared to have dissipated somewhat, although the star was far from pitch perfect in some of the more challenging songs."[3]
