I wasn't able to get to this concert, but two brief press reviews show that Meat was up to his terrific current form and delighted his fans yet again.

The concert was held in a marquee. It was again raining, and the show could not take place on the 15th as planned because the whole set-up was just not considered to be sufficiently safely erected/installed to use. It was resheduled to the following night, despite the pressure this would put on the crew, who are now moving to Germany with Meat for the next European gig on Saturday.

Meat was ready and willing to do his show, but would not risk the safety of his fans, nor of his band and all those who labour behind the scenes to bring us the show. He did however, very kindly hold the M&G as planned when he found out that three people who were there could not manage to return the next night.

These reviews are from the two brief press commentaries I've found:

ROCK legend Meat Loaf delighted fans in Co Donegal last night when he finally took the stage, 24 hours after he was billed to perform.

The 60-year-old Texan refused to play in the specially constructed marquee in seaside Bundoran on Tuesday night because of safety concerns.

"We just had real security issues inside, like the tent falling down on the audience and the stage falling down, and lights falling down, so yeah, real security issues," he told Ocean FM on Tuesday night.

His concerns were echoed by some fans who, although disappointed, agreed that the marquee seemed less than secure.

"I can understand what he is saying. They are still building inside," said one.

But last night security issues appeared resolved and up to 3,000 fans -- about 1,000 fewer than the previous night-- returned for the postponed opening of the Bundoran Live festival and the Irish leg of Meat Loaf's 'Casa de Carne' tour.

"He is absolutely amazing. It has been worth the wait," said one delighted fan. Meat Loaf took to the stage just before 9pm.

and the other:

It was better late than never for rock legend Meat Loaf as he wowed fans in Bundoran last night with a flawless two-hour set in the sea-front Marquee.

The disappointment of the previous evening's cancellation was forgotten, as were the adverse weather conditions, as music-lovers rocked out to the star's greatest hits.

Concert promoter Seanie McEniff said he was delighted with Meat Loaf's performance and the turn-out of fans for the concert.

Tuesday's gig was cancelled after Meat Loaf voiced concerns over "security issues" at the Marquee where he was due to perform.
