Original promo video for Heaven Can Wait

[Barmad]

Right at the end of the Classic Albums programme there's the beginning of a promo for Heaven Can Wait, staged concert footage along the lines of the promos for Bat, etc.

Does anyone know if this promo is available anywhere?

And does this mean there are similar promo videos for All Revved Up and For Crying Out Loud?

On the dvd of classic albums there is a live version of Heaven Can Wait from Rotterdam (i think) circa 1994 - is this the one you mean?

[Barmad]

No, it looks as if it was recorded at the same time as the original 70s videos for Bat, 2 outta 3, etc. It's only on for a twenty seconds or so.

I'd love to have the full version. HCW's a great song, and people are always surprised when I tell them I've just sung them a Meat Loaf song. Goes down really well though.

I have the Classic Albums video, and it does not have any promo video for Heaven Can Wait (I didn't know there was one) at the end. Only the live performance recorded in Rotterdam in 1994. If I remember correctly (I haven't watched it in a while), the video ends like this:

Meat says that the album has been a fight his whole life
Aforementioned live performance of Heaven Can Wait
Live performance ends, audience claps, Meat claps
The clapping Meat is frozen, superimposed credits roll to the tune of FCOL
The frozen clapping Meat fades out, credits continue to roll
End

Barmad, where did you see this? Was it on the DVD or video, or on a tv broadcast of Classic Albums?

You guys had me thinking I was going mad. As soon as I got home from work I put on my Classic Albums DVD and fast-fowarded to the end. At about 48 mins you see hands playing a piano, see a 70s Meat sing the first line, and then hear the first verse of the song playing in the background as Meat and Co. make their final comments.

Or have I got a different copy of the DVD to everyone else?

I saw the same thing!

The song (studio) fades out underneath the credits.

It looked like the video was filmed at the same time as the rest of the BOOH videos. I taped it off VH1 night, so maybe they showed a slightly different version?

It's not impossible that one is a US/Europe version or something, and they couldn't get the rights to show the live footage in the one they showed on VH1?

So is it actually before the credits, and before the final comments are made? I'll check it again.
