US National Anthem - Meat Loaf Style!
A friend who knew that I had attended the Meat Loaf concert recently in Orlando, FL, sent me the following link. I had completely forgotten about Meat doing the National Anthem at the 1994 Major League All-Star game in Pittsburgh, PA at Three Rivers Stadium. Many recording artists have badly butchered this song. This may be the absolute best version that I have ever seen.

Thanks for posting on Youtube WarioLoaf!!! I'm glad my friend was able to find it. I'm betting he'd STILL do a great job.
Vicki.....I have connections. :) If Meat ever wanted to do it......it could happen. |

It was a brilliant version of the American national anthem, and one of the best I've ever heard. Meat did say this was one of the highlights of his career too. I thought he looked a bit nervous at the start but I wouldn't blame him.

Look into your hearts and ask yourself if he could really pull that off now?!
The footage from the new tour is amazing, don't get me wrong, but around the time of that clip he had complete control of his voice and slotted into each note. I've noticed that when Meat sang like this, 1987 -1994, it seemed to take enormous physical energy to achieve what he wanted. But achieve it he did. Maybe age just gets hold of us. Muscles wear. I'm 31 and I'm starting to notice little things. Meat is double my age. |

Hands down, Meat can totally pull off the National Anthem as he is right now! Which is en fuego! Don't judge a vocal totally by you tube footage....and if you do, you are liable to send RedPony Tours after everyone of them taking them down one by one.

I just don't think he has the vocal control to pull it off. I would absolutely love to be proved wrong as I still consider him the best performer I've ever seen. |

Eric Vetro has worked with Meat since his National Anthem was done and I have reason to think that Meat could do it again because of his vocal training. Meat's vocals are strong, confident, and controlled. I was answering the question...in your heart could he do it again? And in my heart I say YES ~ at the same, if not better, caliber! I am anxious to see if Meat's interested in doing it again.
