Guilty Pleasure Tour
Guilty Pleasure Tour was Meat Loaf’s 2011 concert run to promote his album Hell in a Handbasket. It lasted from October 1 to October 29 and included 12 shows in Australia and New Zealand. More dates for Europe and North America were planned but never happened. The Sydney show was filmed for a DVD. The tour’s name came from a fan poll that voted Meat Loaf as the number one “guilty pleasure.”
During the tour, Meat Loaf told fans these would be his last performances in Australia and New Zealand and thanked them for 38 years of support.
The encore included Meat Loaf’s appearance at the 2011 AFL Grand Final, which many critics and fans disliked for a weak performance. The AFL said the pre-match entertainment was flat, and Meat Loaf later explained that audio problems in Sydney made it hard to hear and affected his singing. His Wollongong and Brisbane shows were better received, with reviews noting an energetic two-hour concert full of hits, though some songs remained challenging.
The Guilty Pleasure Tour was released as a deluxe DVD/CD in the UK and Europe on October 1, 2012, by The Store for Music, including a bonus documentary.
