![Meat Loaf - Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire) (Live at Arrow Rock Festival, 2005)
I was curious to listen to this show after not hearing it for years and realised again just how great the audio is, so Im thinking of attempting to make it sound even better and post the full show, let me know what you think - its a strong show vocally and the recording is of great quality, especially in an era of pretty bad audience recordings.
(Thanks to Ad for the show!)
Recorded June 11th, 2005 at the Arrow Rock Festival in Lichtenvoorde, Netherlands during the Hair Of The Dog Tour.

A great performance of this underappreciated track, from July 14th 2010 in Wantagh, NY on the early stages of the Hang Cool Tour. The quality is good but not perfect and does distort in parts, this is a half attempt at a restoration by me of the audio as the original is very bassy, I will fully restore it eventually, etc., and as always enjoy :)

(I opted to include the live version of Kiss instead of the ALW 60 recording mostly from 1996 because thats in Vaults Of Heaven II as well.)
Overture performed by Martin Sheen.
When Children Ruled The World performed by Red Hill Children.
Vocals on If Only and Whistle Down The Wind by Irene Molloy.
Vocals on Cold and Vaults Of Heaven by Kyle Scarpia Gordon.
Vocals on Vaults Of Heaven by Sandy Farina?
Vocals on Unsettled Scores by Davis Gaines.
I have been meaning to restore these demos for a while now. Unfortunately only a low quality source exists for everything except for When Children Rule The World, as the demo in that instance is sourced from a commercial release. Im glad Ive finally sorted this audio out and I think its sounding a bit better, it cant really be made much better than this as the source files are of very low fidelity. I have included as a bonus audio of the 1996 Washington productions arrangement of A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste, enjoy!
More Steinman-related material will be on the way eventually, such as the Evening and Matinee recordings of MTYD from Jan 13th 1974, and the live recording of the 1986 production of The Confidence Man, and the rest of the Over The Top/Dream Engine live recordings, and much more... Meat will be the focus for the meantime tho :) - MLBF Jim Steinman and Andrew Lloyd Webbers WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND - 1996 Demos (Restored)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ninf_oG_A9I/mqdefault.jpg)

![Jim Steinmans NEVERLAND - 1977 Workshop @ Kennedy Center (Restored)
Hello everyone. It seems that it has been over 4 and a half years since my last upload of this recording. Since then, Ive realised the original audio was in need of pitch correction, as well as a mild EQ, and so without meddling too much with the audio, I have tried to lightly adjust it, focusing mostly on the pitch and I think I have it sounding rather good. As with in 2021, I have substituted the Rhinegold recording of Hushabye for the missing Malediction scene, and the Dream Engine 1969 recording of Song of the Dream Engine for the missing Kingdom Come scene, although the transition is smoother than the previous version. As always, enjoy and let me know what you think of this restoration attempt.

Instrumental #1 is the same as the Let The Revels Begin instrumental used on Meat Loafs 1981-82 Dead Ringer tour(s), which is partially the same as Private Of Privates. Of course, later on this instrumental was also used for Holding Out For A Hero, and even later, God Has Left The Building. Instrumental #2 is the intro to Bat Out Of Hell. Instrumental #3 is usually known as The Hunt, and borrows heavily from Chinkachain. Instrumental #4 is usually known as The Annihilation, after its phase, and borrows heavily from The Revolution In Music from The Dream Engine. Instrumental #5 reminds me of the dance section from Dance In My Pants.
*Substituted with c. June 1973 Rhinegold audio.
**Substituted with May 1969 Dream Engine audio.

![Meat Loaf - Full Interview on Night Flight (c. late July 1983) [Raw Tape]
A rare full interview from the time of the 1983 World Tour, in particular the US Leg. This was filmed in Denver so probably around mid-August 1983, but it could be earlier - listen to the shows Meat mentions as still not having done yet, theres an unconfirmed St. Louis date and he says end of August, which to me would imply the interview wasnt filmed in August, but who knows...
Theres a high chance Ill be asked to take this down, as Night Flight runs a streaming service, so well wait and see - but in the meantime, enjoy! Meat Loaf - Full Interview on Night Flight (c. late July 1983) [Raw Tape]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o_PnROj-vyg/mqdefault.jpg)
