The official video recorded November 20th/21st along with Nowhere Fast. Keyboard shots filmed February 22nd 1985 at Brixton Academy. Broadcast on Whistle Test and Power Hour in 1985. This video is notably short but is likely incomplete, hopefully a better source surfaces one day. This is an upgraded source by me :)

![Jim Steinmans BATMAN - 1998-2002 Demos (Deamplified and Reordered)
Ive been meaning to post this for about uhh... three years - but here it is, better late than never I suppose - life has been stressful - these demos were recorded in the early 2000s until 2002, I personally reckon the Steinman snippets at the start of Not Allowed To Love (which Ive taken from the 2 remixes you can find on the Steinman website) were probably taken from an earlier demo he recorded in 1998.
(Upon reflection and subsequent inquiry I have amended the track list to include the almost certain year of recording on each of the tracks, thank you, as always I very well may be wrong!)
Anyway, they were almost peaking so I sorted out the volume, reordered the tracks based more on the brief info Steinman gave us on his blog back in the day - made the songs fade into each other smoother, etc. - and I think its come out quite nice, so enjoy :) These were first released around 2006 although havent been widely shared on here, so I thought Id give my take on them.
Therell be more Meat stuff soon!

![Meat Loaf - Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are (Live in Orlando, 1993)
An incredible performance of Objects from the History Of Meat Loaf Live TV special by MTV/VH1 recorded on November 14th 1993 at Universal Studios, Orlando. This is from my restoration of the VH1 broadcast which will be appearing on my channel soon, although the audio here is not restored.

![Jim Steinman and Thomas Babes KID CHAMPION - 1975 Recordings (Restored)
This is the common version of these recordings that has been shared around since it was initially unearthed. I have not had to do much work here at all as the lossless rip of the tape is so great in quality anyway. In the timestamps, I have labelled the tracks as they are labelled on the tape but have also included the alt. names of tracks where applicable, and small notes about each track below.
Unfortunately the lineup for these recordings is still unknown, except for Jim Steinman on backing vocals, and almost certainly piano. Steve Margoshes was musical director so its possible he is present here as well. The vocalist and other musicians alas remain obscure to us. The first three songs are very delicious instrumental covers.
These recordings come from the 1975 New York Shakespeare Festival production of Kid Champion, with book and lyrics by Thomas Babe and music and lyrics by Jim Steinman. There was another production in 1979 but all of the audio we have dates to 1975. The instrumental part of this tape would have played while audiences were entering and exiting, with the songs including vocals being featured in the play, dubbed a multimedia experience.
00:00:00 1. Candy Rock [Montrose - Rock Candy]
00:02:36 2. Crazy [Queen - Stone Cold Crazy]
00:05:22 3. Space Station [Montrose - Rock The Nation]
00:07:23 4. [Entracte]
00:10:03 5. Spice Dog [The Storm / When Your City Is Burning]
00:14:05 6. Chinko [Chinkachain]
00:15:56 7. Gadzooks [Song Of The Gods]
00:19:16 8. A Minor
00:23:02 9. Ending [Kinda Like An Angel]
00:25:09 10. For Crying Out Loud
00:32:55 11. Yogi
00:36:45 12. Bosco False Start [For Crying Out Loud (Reprise)]
00:41:58 13. Donnys Guitar
The long instrumental piece was played as the audience was entering and taking their seats, the other tracks used as incidental music within the play. The vocalists identity is sadly unknown. - jimsteinman.com
Demo recordings of various instrumental music and song tracks used for NYSF production of Kid champion. These demos were unearthed by bellminer from the New York Public Library in 2011. No performers are known, apart from Jim, who at can be heard singing backup vocals on For Crying Out Loud. With what we know today, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that sections of the opening track sounds sound very familiar. - mljs.evilnickname.org
1-3 are instrumental versions of covers.
4 seems to be an abbreviated version of Entracte from The Dream Engine.
5 is an early version of The Storm, basically a rearrangement of When Your City Is Burning, also from The Dream Engine.
6 is Chinkachain from Rhinegold.
7 is an instrumental version of Song Of The Gods that is identical to the version that went on to be performed on the Bat Out Of Hell Tour, from 1977-78.
8 was previously misidentified as originating from Rhinegold, it contains elements of what became the instrumental section in Let The Revels Begin, and later God Has Left The Building, as well as borrowing slightly from Song of The Golden Egg.
9 has an intro the same as Whod Do The Dirty? from Rhinegold, but is a unique song for this project, dubbed Kinda Like An Angel by fans. It satisfyingly ends with the intro riff from Hymn To Fire/Spice Dog/The Storm.
10 is of course a demo version of the iconic For Crying Out Loud, notice the intro and how its the same as The Future Just Aint What It Used To Be, the stem the tide of the rising waters part.
11 has nothing more to do with Jim Steinman than being on this tape, as contrary to popular belief, he did not write the music or lyrics. Nonetheless it is a very lovely song. [Edit - It is possible that the music is by Jim, but not the lyrics.]
12 is a reprise version of For Crying Out Loud, and the name on the tape leads me to wonder whether the mystery vocalist could have been nicknamed Bosco? Who knows, still its an interesting version, and rather polarising, some people really dig it and others loathe it. I enjoy it personally, especially the unique ending, a very beautiful piece of Steinman music indeed.
13 is possibly a repurposed instrumental demo of Yogi, and is a very sweet instrumental in my opinion.

![Jim Steinmans THE DREAM ENGINE - 1972 Michael Kemon Session (Upgrade)
This session was recorded (apparently) on May 15th 1972 by Jim Steinman, a mysterious Brian, Bette Middler, and god knows who else. It was recorded at Hit Factory in New York and produced by Michael Kamen during the time of the aborted 1972 production of The Dream Engine. It gives an insight into early Steinmania and our first glimpse at what would eventually become the famous Heaven Can Wait, although the arrangement here is rather outrageous... Like everything else, this has been made to sound better... Enjoy!

![Meat Loaf - Do It! (Live in Gilford, 2003) [Live Vocals]
I know many people have been wanting a truly live version of Do It, as during the second and third legs of the Last World Tour the song was almost entirely mimed, but here from the first leg is a fully live performance of the song, that although muddy at times is still an enjoyable listen and a treat I am sure you all will enjoy!
Recorded on August 23rd 2003 at Meadowbrook Farm, Gilford, NH, USA.

This is my first tribute video to the fantastic late Bonnie Tyler, it is a compilation of live performances by her of Jim Steinman songs from 1984 until this year when she performed her final concert in London. Most of whats here comes from 1988, as sadly there is a lack of Bonnie Tyler bootleg recordings up until the mid 1990s. I hope this will be of interest to many of you, as it also includes her only live performance of Loving Yous A Dirty Job, performed with The Dream Engine in February 2006.
I will add more here later, but as always enjoy - and never stop rockin!
