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.)

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)
![Meat Loaf - In the Land of the Pig (Live in Sheffield, 2007)
This song was only performed for half of 2007, at a time where Meat Loafs 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 Loafs 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... :)
