Rare Songs: Keeper Keep Us

Wow!! This song is great, especially the lyrics!! It's one of the best lyrics, I've ever heard! The melody, the guitars, that song is an amazing masterpiece! It's the best rare song! It was part on the album of The Intergalactic Touring Band in 1977 and it's a disaster that this song wasn't part on BOOH! Meat, please sing it in the concert on November 5th in Berlin! Pleaaase!!! Do it, for me!! This song is a diamond, written by God!!

10/10

Garrett!
I haven't got this song. Could you send me in e-mail if is it possible? I think this is the last song what I have never heard before...

[Garrett]

You will get it.

Oh, I have forgotten one of my fav song!
I can speak about this song in superlativus. The best rare song and one of the best song ever. When I listened it first I didn't believe it. Great orchestra and fantastic emotions are coming out of this song. Meat's voice is one of the best. It's a bomb. Perhaps don't listen some albums but you have to hear this song. I won't give 11 cause it's a little bit short! If it was longer I'd say this is the 2nd best Meat Loaf song. But I think it is on the Top10 list.

Meat! Please will be this song's longer version the bonus track on the BOOH3. I know it's not a Jim Steinman song but it will be a rockhistorical product of all time!

P.s.: Are there some similar song on Intergalactic Touring Band CD?


My score: 10

[A Slice Of English]

Still unable to say as no one has been able to send it to me :(

[Tim]

Don't think i've heard the song. I was aware of the song, but that is all... so can't rate it.

[White of High]

Tim! You have to listen it! If has anybody ICQ number then give me and I'm gonna send you!!!

[Tim]

haha...okay White, will do that, if i get my hands on it. Got no icq, only msn and email.

[White of High]

Maybe MSN but I have a Hungarian production. I hope it won't be problem. That you will be curious: this song is a little For Crying Out Loud...

How anyone could have missed this song is totally beyond me. I have had the LP for some years, and recently the album got released on CD too! Jay!

From all the "rare" songs, I find this one to be one of the best. Released on the 1977 titleless album by the Intergalactic Touring Band, this song is a real gem. Not written by God however, but by Danny Beckerman - and no, it should not have been on Bat, cause musically they have nothing in common. A little "For Crying Out Loud" you say? I fail to see the similarities, other than that both are the last track on the album.
I would describe IGTB as late 70s prog-rock, lots of synths and beautiful guitar melodies.
Overall, I find the album not that consistent in quality, there are some great tracks, and some lesser ones. "Approach (Overture)" is a beautiful orchestral arrangement which could have been used on any Star Trek/Wars movie, and both "Starship Jingle" and "Heartbreaker" are slightly funky uptempo numbers. Overall I enjoy the faster tracks better than the ballads, "Keeper Keep Us" being the exception to the rule.

Interesting fact: the album was produced by Marty Scott and Stephan Galfas, who would later produce Dead Ringer, while Larry Fast plays synths.

For a rating, I'd say 9/10. And for the record: I don't consider it to be Meat's 2nd best song. It's plain silly to pronounce it the 2nd best with only two votes, just as it's silly to give songs a rating of 11/10. Doesn't make sense, at least not to me. But that's an entirely different discussion :-)

Evil Nickname...

The Butcher.

*cries*

Can't anyone just send me this song or the album name on which its on so I can try and buy it?

This is pure torture.

[evil nickname]

What album are you talking about

Can't anyone just send me [...] the album name on which its on so I can try and buy it?

I'll add some emphasis to what I said in an earlier post:
Released on the 1977 titleless album by the Intergalactic Touring Band, this song is a real gem.

So it's on an album called "Inter Galactic Touring Band", released on CD in 2002 on the Voiceprint label, under catalogue number VP251CD (or click here (http://www.voiceprint.co.uk/voiceprint.php/Catalogue/Search/inter%20galactic%20touring%20band/VP251CD) to order it online @ voiceprint.co.uk, or go to Bol.com, Amazon, or whatever has your preference)

And some more information on the whole lot can be found at the Kongaloid website (http://www.kongaloid.org/igtb/igtb.html)
