spectacular, stunning, magnificent, passionate, amazing, beautiful and breathtaking would be my understatement of this performance of this song

this is yet another show i'd love released on dvd... i'm a greedy ~~~~~~~

Awesome :roll:

That is it. Absolutely stunning performance. The whole show was fantastic. They did a second hour that aired later that was just as good, except they edited "Bat" down to half the song. Presumably the whole concert is wasting away in a vault somewhere, probably has a couple of songs that never aired. I would love to have it digitally remastered on DVD.

I love these kinds of threads :)

Now that version is stunning I love it to death... but then theres this with Jim on piano which I think blows it out of the water :D:

YouTube Video

another amazing performance, but the beauty of a live recorded meat loaf show is the addition of the visual performance... and thats whats takes it so often to another level (in my opinion)

and if lucky enough to actually be in the audience... an even higher level!

:up:

touche!!! :D

They are both great. I don't think either blows the other out of the water. I prefer the '93 version because it is on video and the emotion just translates so well visually as well as vocally.

"blowing it out of the water" was an exaggeration and I apologize.

They both are like two prime examples of meat at his very best. I dont mean just that. Those two recordings are the best live vocal performances ever recorded on anything in the history of ever. bar none.

No need to apologize. You also gave a great example. If someone wanted to see an example of what I believe is Meat's unique ability to inhabit a song as a performer and interpret the lyrics this is what I would show them.

This is the best of ML. It's where everything was hitting on full cylinders.

He was in top physical shape, Off of excessive drugs/booze, his voice was the best it ever and was and he was on top of the world with a #1 Hit and Album.

Oh, and he still hd long hair. Short hair sucks. :evil:

Long hair on old men looks ridiculous

Say on mature men, older men, men over 50 .. and I'll agree with you wholeheartedly ;) There's nothing quite so sad as an older man trying to look like the oldest swinger in town .. Stringfellow take note! :roll:

I think Meat judged the time to change his hairstyle perfectly, and looks all the younger for doing so.

Blimey, is late 40s considered old then? I thought it looked okay tied back in the ponytail!
