I've just been listening to a Meat Loaf bootleg cd from New York 1993 and the live version of Life Is A lemon is the best I've ever heard, it has a great intro and Meat really gets into the song as though he is reallf p...ed off and Life really is a lemon.
I would say this is my favourite Live version of any Meat song so I wondered what other peoples was - I know a lot of people don't have bootlegs ect but surley you've heard a lot of his songs live before so which one is your fave?

Hi Renegade Angel,

I do not have any boot leg albums, so i only can go by live gigs i have been to. :D My favourite would come from the Bad Attitude live gig at the Apollo theatre Glasgow (Scotland ) 19th December 1984 the short list would be
1. Jumpin the gun
2. Piece of the Action
3. Nowhere fast
And the winner is :oops: JUMPIN THE GUN .

Take care and keep rockin

First of all: Wolfy, check my site, at the bottom of the post there is a button with WWW, that brings you to my site.

Second...

Rock and Roll Dreams is live so great!! Most of the Bat 2 numbers are live so great, that it is hard to choose.
But life is a lemon and rock and roll dreams are one of my favorites.

Life is a Lemon is always a superb live track, although you can't really beat actually hearing it as it happens. I think my favourite rendition of Life is a Lemon was in Wembley 94 when each time the base drum sounded flames shot upwards out of the stage, what an effect I can still feel the heat today.

I think my favourite live CD tracks are Heaven Can Wait on the Live Around The World CD (its sung with such feeling and Jim Steinman's piano solo just sets the track alive) and Anything for Love and All Revved Up on the Bootleg Cardiff CD from Dec 93.

Paradise or Rock 'N Roll Dreams have always been my two favorites .. until I saw him sing Couldn't Have Said It Better at the Mohegan Sun :) I still can't get it out of my mind .....

I'm just praying that he'll come back my way again next year and I'll have the chance to see him sing DIST just once. The level of emotion he brings to that song on the CD is absolutely incredible .. I can only imagine how amazing it is to see that live ......

Believe me when you've seen it you are in a higer atmosphere. I've seen it twice now and it made me cry everytime. When it's on my cd player I find it difficult not to cry. The emotions are so real when Meat does it live.

I realy hope that you have the chance to see it done live. :)

For Crying Out Loud from "Live Around The World"

Its such a fantastic song that I thought without the orchestra behind it it wouldn't be so great. I was obviously wrong because this version is fantastic!

I haven't heard many live versions. I really haven't heard many :( . But what I have heard, I LOVE Paradise in Night Of The Proms. I wish there were a site, where I could get the song or the video. with 11\10.!!

The worst live version known is... Bat Out Of Hell (The one did on the remasterd version of BOOH on September 1, 1978 at Nassau Colieseum, Hempstead, Long Island, New York. (rated a 3\10 for the effort) Sorry, but only the music is good. Maybe some, MAYBE some vocals sounded good. But I don't blame Meat, all that touring can do that to ya. He is still the best. Even the best can have their worst moment.

Well i could count more, but i think these are 3 of my favorites !

Live 87, at Wembley is the best record. Modern Girl he sings great.
But now i have form somenone her Lost Boys 88, Birmingham and that is the best concert from the 20th century. Every song on it is the best. This was Meat's best year ever.

Barmad
17 Nov 2003, 10:50
So many faves, depending on my mood.

Objects, HCW and Crying Out Loud from Live Around The World.
No Matter What from Night Of The Proms.
Bat from AFL single - love how that he keeps that intro going forever.
AFL from Cardiff 93.

I beg to differ. I immensly enjoy the live version of All Revved Up from the Objects single. Most versions I've heard of that song sound the same to me. This one really stands out.
And I found that live version of Paradise not that enjoyable. The whole middle-section does nothing for me. I miss the visuals. If you see what's happening on stage, it might be a good version, but without it - that whole part does not make sense... but hey, I'm the guy who could do without Paradise :)

Barmad

My favorite has got to be 'Out of the Frying Pan' live from Cardiff, Wales in november 1993! I love this version. 'For Crying out Loud' from the LATW cd comes in a close second though!

Renegade Angel
17 Nov 2003, 22:03
Another Fave of mine is Piece Of The Action from the Bad Attitude Live Video as you can see Meat put everything into this version.

My all-time favourite is on video, RTL Dutch ? - "I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth)" with Pattie - blows me away every time! Meat at his very best!

Downloaded from the KaZaa site last year.... Now on my computer, play it often.

Love Her For Both Of Us, BFG - Vienna 88. Heaven, Frying Pan from LATW, Bat at Wembley 87. More Than from Storytellers and Piece of the Action from 84.
as an aside does anyone have any live bootlegs/clips from the late 80s shows?

MasterEngineer
19 Nov 2003, 14:43
For crying out loud and
Frying pan

are my two favorites. But CHSIB, Did I say that and Tear me down recorded at the Cologne-concert in Jan 2003 are veeeerrrrrrrrry nice. Not only because they are new, but because Meat sings the wrong line in Did I say that and it was the FIRST live playing of them...

Really cool to hear and to know I've been there.

I agree with Rampant. The wasted youth speech and everything louder than everything else is one of my firm favourites, I know it word for word and actually knowing it has made me some friends! Meat gives every song he sings his all, and because of this, I have never heard a song of his before that I havent liked!

Loafy Meats
20 Nov 2003, 14:32
The last time I saw Meat Loaf we got a verse and a bit of For Crying out Loud and that just made it for me! - It was amazing. The performance part of Paradise is always really funny and obviously BOOH just blows the roof off!!!

Im not sure if you are making a dig at me here and you may think that Bootlegs are bad and im sure there are a lot of people who would agree with you but lets face it, they exist and I happen to have some and im glad I have, otherwise I wouldn't have heard the song that I mentioned in my original post, which has given me pleasure to listen to.

If the net is the only way to get a version of a song, of course people are going to get it and burn it to cd. Same as if you see it on a car boot sale or Market. Calling it bad and sick, I think there are more things in this world to call bad and sick, before a bootleg.

How do you know that all fans think bootlegs are wrong?

I have my own opinions on bootlegs and I don't care what anybody else thinks.
The original topic is about your favourite Live version not about Bootlegs - I was just saying that my fave live version happens to be on a bootleg - don't come on here trying to make me look bad for having bootlegs in my possesion.

meatfan
23 Nov 2003, 00:32
Hear! Hear!

(I have a few very treasured Roy Orbison bootlegs in my possession!)

Most songs I have are on CD bought from shops/ebay/ etc. Bootlegs just enhance my collection! For every bootleg I probably have 20 or thirty of the genuine article!

I think there are likely to be NO fans of any artist who ONLY have bootlegs in their collection! Most bootlegs are inferior to the genuine article, and we get them to get a different slant on a song, or they are precious to us because we were at the concert where they were recorded.

I don't honestly think any artist is worse off because fans have bootlegs - they are an addition to, not a replacement for genuine songs.

Just my thoughts.

Heather.

let me tell you something i only wrote what i did just to see if anyone would agree with me.as ive read on here before about bootlegs being horrible sick wrong and just plain insulting to the artist.i wrote what i did just to see if anyone had an opposite opinion to my reply,and its obvious some of you do.i am not againt bootlegs at all,infact i have plenty in my possesion.i dont feel guilty for saying what i have as it was a test to see if people agreed with me or not.pm me if you are intrested in any trading.also kick me from the site if what i have said has broken any rules.

As for Mark, oh yeah, I'm sure he was there, Meat does nothing without his piano player! The tickling of the ivories gives life to all the tracks, regardless of the song, IMHO.

As for Mark, he may have been left in the dark...but to read and to be able to discuss live music on these forums is a light in my life! TY

It is Meats gift to transport songs to another level live! Just listen to the less asskicking original versions of Lawyers, Mercury Blues, Forever Young or We Are Family and realize how Meat uplifts them on stage. And you know that life is worth living when they do that to SteinMeatmusic, like

Out Of The Frying Pan
(even grows during a tour when the medium section "wanna take you..." - this tour accompanied by the band whispering "fire" - and the guitar at the end are extended!)

Rock and Roll Dreams
(was in the setlist for the first German concerts and had the over-the-top rocking climax that made it way over 10 minutes of pleasure!)

Lemon
(fantastic drum intro on recent tours, now drums from heaven open CHSIB)

just Paradise is sometimes too much theatre and too less music for me.

Whereas most acts/musicals try to sound as steril as on a record (if not they are miming to the record), Meats songs are created and extended live differently each night. Which makes it a reall task being a band member and a reall pleasure seeing multiple shows. Therefore, Meat Loaf concerts are the reall LIVE event IMO.

No Matter What from Night Of The Proms.
Bat from AFL single - love how that he keeps that intro going forever.
AFL from Cardiff 93.

You mention that Bat is on the AFL Single. Is your single a US single or something because the one I have has AFL, Back Into Hell and Everything Louder (Live).
Also, I see many of you have mentioned how good the live versions are on the Bat II singles. Are these the same versions that are on Live Around The World because I have a Runnin' For the Red Light UK single which has Life is a Lemon, Dead Ringer and Amnesty is Granted (All Live). Lemon and Dead Ringer are the two versions that are on Live Around the World and I was wondering if it was the same case with the Bat II singles.

AFL was released as two cds - cd1 had the tracks you mention.
cd2 was in a cardboard case and contains the tracks - AFL(radio edit) and You Took The Words and Bat Out Of Hell, both Live versions, which are great.

I don't think the tracks on Live Around the world are the same live versions as the ones on the bat 2 singles, although they are very similar.
There was some great live tracks released on the bat 2 singles including a great live version of Masculine on the cd2 version of objects in the rear view mirror

I think my fave live version of Paradise hasta be from the end of Rock and Roll Hero CD. Absolutely superb the way Meat holds that note - and then to hear the audience singing 'Dashboard Light' - Brilliant.

Yes!! Heat, that album was one of the first Meat Loaf albums I bought years ago and it's very dear to my heart. I love that version of Paradise.

At the Glasgow gig last week Meat held that very same note and let the audience - and me! - sing 'light' for him. Instantly it reminded me of this version, and how much I loved it! What a great moment! :D :D

I'm lovin the live version of '2 out of 3' from Wembley '88 (i think) on 'the Masters' album....that guitar solo in the middle is just amazing - and his voice towards the end - gets me every time! 8)
