This song was only performed for half of 2007, at a time where Meat Loaf's voice was not in the best state. However, this performance from May 29th 2007 seems to be from a time in the tour where Meat Loaf's voice was recovering, and as such this is easily the best version of this rarely performed song.

![Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell (Live at Wembley Arena, 1982)
The full performance of Bat Out Of Hell from the famous (infamous?) Wembley Arena 1982 show that was recorded for TV release. This particular recording was released in 1983 on a promo 12 for World Tour 83, I only have the 7 and this rip is actually Terry Williams rip, Ive just EQd it and sourced contextual images - note that the first picture is actually from the April 26th show, but the other 2 and the audio are all from the April 29th show, promoting Dead Ringer on the In Euro 82 Tour.
Sidenote - this is in stereo, woo! (The VHS is in mono - laserdisc is in stereo allegedly, good luck finding a copy...)

![Judas Priest - Mother Sun (Live, 1975) [Best Quality Mix]
From a rip I made of a bootleg Judas Priest vinyl I acquired not too long ago, it has a 2-source mix of this song, using Slough College audio as well as Reading audio to create an extended, epic version of this sadly forgotten song (soon to be included on the Reflections box set, maybe not so forgotten after all, eh). Classic lineup but the late John Hinch and Alan Moore on drums, because of the two concerts.

![Meat Loaf - Left In The Dark (Live in Washington DC, 1999)
A nice short performance of this song, great vocals from Meat. One of the few recordings of this song and the only from the Storytellers Tour of 1999-2000. Live in Washington DC, at some point Ill have to post this full show.

![Meat Loaf - Do Wah Diddy Diddy / All Revved Up With No Place To Go (Live In Oshawa, 1987)
After even further examination Ive determined the show is actually from November 1987, and is probably from November 25th in Oshawa as no shows are known to have been played in central Toronto during the 1987 Canadian Tour. The band introductions where Meat introduces Alan Merrill and Frank Doyle give it away, and also when Meat is telling a story about his daughter Amanda, he says that shes 6 and she was born in 1981 - which means weve actually had an incomplete possible soundboard recording from the third leg of the 1987 tour this whole time without knowing it lol...
The full thing will be up soon, the photo is inaccurate as its from 1989/8/31, as I initially identified this show as 1989/8/12.

![Meat Loaf - Original Sin (Live in Glasgow, 1996)
A fantastic rendition of this song from the Born To Rock Tour in Glasgow, 1996. Personally, this show is my favourite show from the tour as Meat had yet to suffer vocally as he did in Germany, and the performance as a whole is more energetic than later shows in Frankfurt, Berlin, etc. This epic nearly 10 minute version of the song is sure to be a treat to all you fans who enjoy your very long Loaf performances... :)

![Meat Loaf - The Giving Tree (Live on Tonight with Jay Leno, 2012) [Audio Only]
From March 14th 2012, promotions before the Mad Mad World Tour for the US release of Hell In A Handbasket. Actually, its quite a good performance, although nowhere near as good as the version from the Wiltern Theatre. Sadly its audio only, as this constantly gets blocked whether its mirrored or not, theres also a small cut but Ive hopefully made it less noticeable.
Most of the band is the show band but from the Neverland Express there is...

Brought to you by https://mlbfcollection.blogspot.com/
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!

![Meat Loaf - Blind As A Bat (Live in Nottingham, 2008)
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.
