Surprisingly this wasn't on here already, so here it is. The 4:21 AC edit of the song as released on some versions of the CD single in 2003. This will eventually wind up as part of my work in progress 'After The Bat' box set, which will span 1977 to 2016 in 2 parts (1977-1992 - 1993-2016). Enjoy :)

This is something I have been meaning to put together for a while, and after discovering some of my edits on the Vaults Of Heaven compilation were pitched incorrectly, I finally began work on it, and so here you are. This is all of the material we have (a mere fraction of what once existed), of Rory Dodds Steinman recordings over the years. These come in the form of demos and complete studio tracks, with a couple bonus goodies in there as well for you all! The Kiss Me Red demo was produced by Jim Steinman, and on most of the demos here Steinman plays piano. As always, enjoy, and never stop rockin!

Brought to you by Meat Loaf Bootleg Hub.
This is my personal favourite live recording of this track, although I do prefer the 2006 live arrangement. This is actually the same show that Break It comes from on the 2010 Casa De Carne live album, and I do plan to restore the full bootleg at some point, for now enjoy this snippet! Recorded July 9th 2008 at Nottingham Arena, Nottingham, England.

![Meat Loaf & Patti Russo - Id Do Anything For Love (TOTP 1993 2nd Appearance, Upgrade)
I was doing some digging and came to realise this was actually recorded at a soundcheck for a show in November 1993, possibly the November 9th show in Los Angeles at the Wadsworth although I cant yet confirm this. I did however also find a better quality version of this performance, and so long as you can ignore the BBC 4 logo, it looks as crisp and as clean as Ive ever seen it.
This was aired on December 25th 1993 during the TOTP 1993 Christmas Special, and I cant confirm the exact date of its recording but given the live performance of the song on the show in August was aired live from Los Angeles, with the venue never specified - and that the November 9th show in Los Angeles at the Wadsworth had quite a lot of press attention, then I wouldnt be surprised if it was a soundcheck from November 9th 1993.

Incredible performance from Roger Waters first appearance at Desert Trip, a music festival out of California in 2016. Stunning band performance, including Snowy White, touring member of Pink Floyd (1977-1981). Incredible vocals from Roger Waters, aged 72 at the time of this show. Straight from the soundboard, yet not dry audio, perfect audio, only issue is the sound during the intro to Run Like Hell, which was not the fault of the mix, it was an issue with distortion on the vocal mic. Incredible setlist as well! Roger Waters - Desert Trip (Weekend #1) - Live In Indio (October 9th, 2016) SDB MASTER](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t1kYdNDtAv4/mqdefault.jpg)

![Jim Steinman and Barry Keatings GOOD WOMAN OF SZECHUAN - c.1973 Demos (Restored)
Hello everyone! These are demos present on the MTYD tape, compiled in August 1973, of the adaptations of songs written for the March 1971 Northampton production of Good Woman of Szechuan, with music by Jim Steinman and directed by Barry Keating. Unfortunately, little is known of this production and few materials have survived, with these demos among them. Steinman had plans to further adapt the Brecht play into his own called Skin Alley, although this never materialised as permission was not granted by the Brecht estate, and so Steinman went on to work on other projects.
Like usual, I have tried to restore the audio as best I can, although from the lossless source the audio was nearly perfect in the first place, so only minor adjustments have been made. The lineup for these demos has been fully identified with certainty except for the female vocalist, thought to be Ursuline Kairson, although this has yet to be definitively proven. The exact date of recording is unknown, presumed to be 1973 but really could be anytime between 1971 and 1973. As always, enjoy, and let me know what you think, -MLBF.

![The Dream Engine / Over The Top - Live Compilation (2005-2006)
This is a compilation of original / new (for the time) Steinman songs being performed by Over The Top in 2005 and The Dream Engine in 2006. These are all sourced from commonly available bootleg recordings, although if youre struggling to track them down - send me an email :)
Ive not tampered with these recordings or edited them in much of any way, and at the end, Ive thrown in a couple extra instrumentals from the Dream Engine files that pop up here and there... As typing out the vocals for each track would be tedious and confusing, Ive just listed the most prominent lead and backing vocalists at the top of the lineup. (Note - all images used are from the shows and songs youre listening to, with only a couple exceptions...)
In case youre unaware, this was a band set up by Steven Rinkoff in Jim Steinman after the success of the Over The Top cabaret shows in 2005. Its worth noting that Over The Top is technically separate from The Dream Engine, but both had largely the same lineup - Over The Top played two or three shows in 2005, and The Dream Engine played four or so in 2006. Youll notice slightly reworked versions of Still The Children and Not Allowed To Love lyrically. I saw that many of these havent been posted before so I thought I may as well continue to treat you all! As always, enjoy :)
