Meatloaf in Concert (Sunday, August 22nd, 2010 7:30 PM)
Rock legend Meat Loaf brings his North American summer tour to the Valleys intimate Celebrity Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 22nd with special guest, daughter Pearl Aday.
For the past 35 years, the man born Marvin Lee Aday has been a towering monument on the musical landscape. Meat Loafs legendary 1977 album Bat Out Of Hell transformed the former high school football player, nightclub bouncer and stage actor into one of the great American rock n roll icons. That record, with its staggering operatic sound and impassioned vocals, has sold more than 43 million albums worldwide - still one of the biggest selling records ever.
Now, more than 30 years after he exploded onto the world stage, Meat Loaf is back with a new record, Hang Cool Teddy Bear (a title taken from a line in the classic Russ Meyer trash movie Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls). The project was produced by Rob Cavallo and features guest appearances by Jack Black, Hugh Laurie, Kara DioGuardi, Queens Brian May and Steve Vai. Hang Cool is Meat Loafs 11th studio effort. From opener Peace On Earth to closer Elvis In Vegas, its 13 tracks drag the classic Meat Loaf sound kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Its the story of a soldier, reveals Meat Loaf. More than four decades into his career, the man - and his voice - is as big, bold and important as ever.
As the stepdaughter of legendary performer Meat Loaf, Pearl Aday was exposed to the genre and all it entails almost from the time she was born. She sang back for Meat Loaf from 1994 to 2003, then Motley Crue, and now has her own release entitled Little Immaculate White Fox.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Celebrity Theatre is conveniently located on 440 N. 32nd St., just 4 blocks south of the Loop 202 freeway, in Phoenix. Free parking! Tickets ($65, $80 and $95) are on sale at Celebrity Theatre or online at www. celebritytheatre.com. To charge by phone, call 602-267- 1600 ext. 1.
