Meatloaf's daughter (step) was the tall, gorgeous backing singer on the right, looking like a panther in her long black dress. She is also an amazing rock singer with her own bands. Pearl Aday is her name.
@@charlesserojr.7818 Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947 - January 20, 2022), known professionally as Meat Loaf - from wikipedia
Meat Loaf was such a larger than life performer. You will be missed you bloody Legend. This song became his Magnus Opus the moment it was released into the airwaves.
Even if he didn't sing a part, just played the role and directed the entire show, this would be a phenomenal performance. He was a master of theatrical performance and audience engagement. He understood that we crave and pay for "spectacle"
Sadly there goes one of the last great voices of an music era that was and is still amazing. There is no music style that can come even close to such epicness that Meat Loaf showed us all over decades. Rest in piece and I hope a lot of people will miss your songs as I do.
Why did he have to go so soon, meatloaf was a legacy....a icon....a shinning star, he will be never replaced, everytime I hear his music it breaks my heart, his music will live on throughout the next millennium,
He always seemed like he would be a good fit for the remake, theatrical Phantom of the Opera. Instead they went with Gerard Butler. He was good I guess, but I wanted to see Meat Loaf in that role. Meat Loaf... carried the flag for us regular/not-so-pretty guys.
Patti Russo's delivery in this live performance is impeccable-her voice is so full of passion --a memorable performance by her and Meatloaf-but when she steps out to sing her part the song just skyrockets into uncharted territory. Bravo!
Patti never disappoints. She's a rock star all on her own, but Meat & Patti brought out the passion in one another's lyrics. Check out I Couldn't Have Said It Better w/the Melbourne Orchestra. I get chills every time she "interrupts" him.
With his death, we lost one of the best rock musicians in the history of the genre. He never accepted anything but 100% from himself. Incredibly gifted performer. Rest In peace, Meatloaf.
There are many songs about love, fulfillment, abandonment, pain, past and present, but there are few songs that bring out the pain in both physical and mental inferiority. It's so hurt & so angry that you don't know how to explain this to anyone , and it is this song that will live on in this world for a long time. I bow 🙇♂️ for all the team who created this song , the orchestra , the wonderful vocal of the female singer & Meat Loaf , you are The Incredible !!!⚘️⚘️RIP⚘️⚘️
This is a work of art. This is music! Every aspect of this performance. To the backing choir, the orchestra! The fact that this music involves actual musical instruments to come together! This is what real music is. I am 23 and would much rather listen to this than half the crap on the radio
Many amazing female vocalist recorded duets with Meatloaf, but only the fabulous Patti Russo got up on stage night after night for 20 years and brought them to life with her amazing voice and stage presence. Thank you Patti.
@@mave_241 Patti is the one that toured with Meatloaf the longest, but Karla DeVito's the original tour singer and she could certainly hold her own next to him, and then there's the original Ellen Foley.
@@debidee5548 True. Devito was his early sidekick, but she didn't ever get to perform his later classic songs. Foley never even performed with him live (or even recorded their duet parts together). Patti did it all and did an amazing job. Her contribution to the band was only surpassed by ML & Steinman.
When she said "sooner or later you'll be screwing around." Meat had such a look of pain and hurt on his face. It was such a great touch of showmanship. And heart-wrenching as well.
Meatloaf wasn't just a singer, a musician, an artist, he was an experience. RIP Dear Meat you will live on through your music, and the memories forever. Xo 💕
The reason for this type songs won't be written is who can sing like this ? Now we don't see singing we hardly hear a voice of origin ? It's only technology but this is voice from every part ... Without the voice talent this song is nothing but the voice had made it everything and given the music a value and wings to all the hard work ...
@MadMathemagician far from just a lyricist. He also composed all the music. In fact, I think Bat is the top selling album of all time in which one person wrote all the music and lyrics
I have listened to this song and the album practically a million times and never fails to give me the chills. The live performances even more so. I'm crying right now. No other rock performer has done this for me. RIP Meat.
I've read a ton of comments here and while most all of you agree with his voice and talent, to me, it's the emotion he put into his performances. In this one he makes you feel like it isn't just a song but a plea to Patti for real. The hurt look in his eyes when she sings, sooner or later you'll be screwing around. To me, it's the emotion that sets Meat Loaf apart from any of today's singers.
I saw Meatloaf perform in 1993 at the Pier in St Petersburg, FL. It was just a small bar/nightclub. Maybe 500 of us there that night. I remember thinking to myself as I was listening to him that I was one of luckiest human beings on the face of the earth. That I didn't want to be anywhere else in the world but where I was at that exact moment. By far the best live performance I have ever seen. I literally left that night a changed person.
I saw him in 1990 in a small little basketball court in Ireland. He did an Irish tour of local civic halls that held 1,000 and 2,000. The show was utterly brilliant...
This is truly when a musician knows they have hit the big time...when they have a full orchestra performing their song as they sing along to it!!! May this great musician Rest in peace. Thanks for all that you gave us Meatloaf!!!! You will never be forgotten!!!! At least not by me!!!
Thanks for recognizing the genius behind this masterpiece. Writers and poets of these timeless songs need recognition too but unfortunately people just get to remember the vocalists, not the person behind those hauntingly beautiful lyrics….for example many folks know the song “it’s all coming back” by CelineDion, “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” by Bonnie Tyler, “Making Love Out Of Nothing” by Air Supply but have never known Jim Steinman was the greatest writer behind those timeless songs. Sad but true. As a poet who has written many lyrics and now looking for a vocalist to bring them to life, it kinda hurts knowing few will remember me in ages to come.
Meat loaf’s ballads always felt so much more regal than the other players in the rock scene. This is quite evident from the entire orchestra setup behind him for his live performances.
Watching this in 2023. Need this to soothe my aching heart. Beautiful performance. Passion and theatrical. This is true music. The silence and intensity between both of them after she sings “sooner or later, you’ll be screwing around” They def don’t make performances like this anymore. RIP Meatloaf and thank you for your beautiful voice ❤
I turned 60 this month July 2024 and I am STILL in awe with his presence. Just like my first listen to Bat out of Hell in 1977 when his voice gave me goosebumps then, it still does today. Jim Steinman and Meat are the preverbal "Yin to Yang" and one without the other is, well... Meatless Meatloaf (pun totally intended). Godspeed to them both!!! Like a Bat out of HELLLLL!!!
He was great brings back my teenage days bit there's one other band that hsve always stood our for me and that's bon jovi who o may say are also brilliant live
RIP Meat and Jim. Watching in September 2024. I watched an interview about an audition that was Meat’s big break. His voice was so powerful the people listening felt the building shaking.
God this man is great he doesn't just sing the song he becomes the song no one will ever come close to him what a legend lm 62 years old and you got me though life tough times thank you GREATMAN RIP
I never noticed before that he told her good job when they hugged. The most magical thing about Meatloaf is he aspired to be an actor. He barely had an acting career. He has some movies under his belt. A few memorable and more not. Again the magical part is he imagines a character for each album and he puts himself in that character when doing the songs. This is why is up there as one of the best performing artists. He and Freddie Mercury are on top in that category in my opinion.
It destroys its validity!! They don’t make them like this anymore. Beautiful voice and great performances. Now bands are inducted in no time and he gets left out. It sucks!!!!!!
If you read the list of names in that place you quickly discover that they stole the sign from the actual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Meatloaf maybe isn't "rock & roll" enough for them (lol), but he certainly would be the first induction, with Jim Steinman, to the Rock Opera Hall Of Fame. Even The Who wasn't as successful with Tommy.
I will always mourn the fact that I never got to see him perform live... Simply one of the greatest rock performers of all time. Him and Jim Steinman in combination was lightning in a bottle. Alchemy and magic
imagine being there experiencing this. he wasnt just a brilliant singer he was an all round brilliant entertainer and he never lost his self respect or respect for others. RIP Meat Loaf. Legend
Meat Loaf was one of those that looked like me and normal, run-of-the-mill, not so pretty guys....yet his performances, writing, voice and pure talent way more than made up for it. When a not-so-pretty guy makes it this big and is so well-known and international... you know there was tons of talent involved. Dude is legend and his performances were original and epic! Rest In Piece Mr. Loaf....you'll be missed brother...but not forgotten.
@@jennablack3136 , I'll trust your judgment on that one. Lol! I guess I see that he's not the "boy band" type that gets big off looks instead of talent. Meat was a big time talent and sadly, a big time loss for the world now.
Bought one of the greatest albums ever made when it first came out. Bat out of Hell. What a time to live. And even all the years later, holy sh!t, what a performer. Quality, not quantity.
Listening to this in 2022. Just so incredible. The power, the emotions, the vocals. Thank you to ML (RIP) and the entire stage. All of you are simply spellbound amazing.
I discovered Meatloaf when Bat Out of Hell 2 came out. I was 13 and just going through so much shit. I have this memory riding in the car with my mom, my head resting against the window watching things go by. I was in my own world listening to that album on my discman. Rock n Roll Dreams is playing and two lines stand out, the "you've been through the fires of hell..." and "you're never alone cause you can put on the phones..." I can't say enough how important this music was to me in my life at that time, and even though time has moved on, it will always have a special place in my heart. Love to all, and RIP to Meatloaf and Jim.
Me too!!! And life is like a lemon. But then my mum let me listen to Bat out of Hell. (The song) and on vinyl. The intro guitar that sounded like a motorbike came straight out of the speakers. So awesome
Heaven is calling you meat you will be sadly 😥 missed and what a legend you were RIP 🙏 meat and thank you for all wonderful 🙏 ❤ memories you've left us Heaven is in for a treat listening to you ❤ rest in peace 🙏 meat and thanks for everything 🙏 ❤
his body on earth is resting and decomposing and feeding the worms. in a kids song its the worms crawl in and worms crawl out in your stomach and in your snout. part of the life on earth process of decomposition and returning your body components back to mother earth. meatloaf feeding mother earth. since god is good all the time. i know sir meatloaf is in better hands than state farm insurance on earth. and there are no better than the hand of good. so go and make my day. trust in your god and don't be a meat head don't worry about mr meatloaf think about red sauced mother baked meat loaf or meat pie it um um good for any time nutrition in my tummy tummy yummy mummy don't worry be happy.
One of the best performances of this song. He plays with my emotions - up and down and up again. Love Meat Loaf. And good camera movements, too. I am sometimes so embarrassed by the bad camera not showing Meat when he's acting on stage.
You know this is January the 28th 2022 sad to say this is my first time seeing this but I'm loving every moment of it he is the great one that can sing beautiful songs that touch your heart 🥰🫂💕
He said in an interview that wasn't act and that he had genuine anxiety over performing the song and the band was briefed to repeat the last few bars of the intro until he finally starts singing RIP Meat legend.
@@carlettecannon8716 fast forward. It is the 29th of June. I think, if I recall correctly, until this morning, the only video I ever saw of his was 'Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through.' Fell asleep listening to Home Free, and surfaced, thinking, oh, no they didn't! Then I realized, nope, I hear real instruments, no beat boxer. And I just basked in that voice, the music, then started to drift back off as first, I Won't Do That was followed by Rock and Roll Dreams... and got jarred awake again... by an orchestra? The heck? And his performance was insane, and magic, and people just still have no idea what we lost. *THIS* was Rock opera; The Who's 'Tommy' was a concept album by comparison.
It's great that we were able to experience this time! I am now 76 years old and waiting to die. I have cancer that is no longer treatable. The music of the 60s/70s helps me a lot in my last days or weeks. There will never be such a great time again!! 😪
You Sir, are Sooo right!! When you say the 60s and 70s music gets You and many others through this Difficult life we all lead. Peace and Comfort to you my Friend.....I know YOU have made a difference in someone's life, and they are Thankful for it!! 🙏😉
He was such a great guy. He was a guest on Ghost Hunters several times and I realized what a special guy he was. He was so talented in so many ways. He will be missed.
It's with a heavy heart that I'm writing this. I saw him in concert 4 times he was awesome, and there will never be anyone like him. Prayers to his family and all meatloaf fans. Now he's singing in heaven. RIP MEATLOAF
Absolutely Epic!!! If anyone can pull off performing with a full orchestra it’s him!!! Such unbridled passion, emotion and energy. What I would give to go back in time and see him live. He gives me chills!
Amazing singer, artist, actor, but most of all he was an amazing man. I don’t tend to get attached to people I don’t even know, but I’ve felt a very strong connection to Meatloaf for some time now. I wish all the best for his family, especially during this time.
What a act ,what a performance,the drama,the voice,the suspence at the start,meatloaf brilliant. The drama at the end ,the whole audience rooting for you meatloaf.
Still watching this in May 2024. Meat Loaf was one of my heroes and the Bat out of Hell Album i get in 1977 is still one of my best Albums.. RIP my Friend
You and my dad passed away within hours of each other! I will never forget my father's leadership and passion and dedication to all the lives he touched. And I guarantee you Meatloaf... neither will we, your beloved fans! R.I.P. both of you!
May your dad rest in peace. Your dad raised a heck of a great son I'm sure. Now you have a special Guarden Angel.💖 I know what it's like to have lost both parents. I lost my dad when I was 25 , June of 1976 and lost my mom 11 years ago at the end of July 2010. I belieave that when it's our time to 'go', our parents will be there to welcome us home.
Saw Meat in concert in 1963.Was supposed to end at 11 pm but the crowd wanted PARADISE so many times he sang until 2 AM and then left only when they turned off the lights.He actually had us all in a trance for 7 hours.What a VOICE.
The pianist was fantastic . Patti Russo was fantastic- such chemistry with Meat . The other female backing singer was his step daughter if I am Not mistaken . Rest in peace Meat
Thank you Meat Loaf for the soundtracks of our lives. Thank you because every night we sleep listening to your music... Rest in peace dear Meat... You left too soon.
I danced with my daughter at her wedding to this song in October 2023. I a m a lucky guy to have have three beautiful daughters who can appreciate this music. She picked this song for us to dance to. ❤❤❤❤
Fun fact for you & your daughters. The very statuesque backing vocalist in long black dress and incredible waves of curly hair is in fact, Pearl Aday who called Meatloaf "daddy" by virtue of being his (step) daughter! Your family is spending time with Meatloaf's family as you watch, and that's pretty damn great isn't it?
@@whatabunchof Who says there isn't good news on the Internet. Blessings my man, and much love to you and your daughters... (and the future hoards of grandbabies lol).
The definition of performance The definition of brilliance The definition of a star The definition of magic Meatloaf: performing one of the greatest masterpieces in rock to a degree above. He gave us his all . . .
A showstopper--great lyrics and music. Meatloaf sets it all up with his voice and theatrics-but when Patti comes in with that great voice the place explodes. She's a looker too.

Jag kommer ihåg alla kanon låtar från 50 60 70 80 talet alla talanger som sjöng då snacka inte du ni😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Freddy Mercury was the greatest showman in rock history... But meatloaf wasn't far behind. An incredible performance...
And elvis
Meat loaf’s ballads always felt so much more regal than the other players in the rock scene. This is quite evident from the entire orchestra setup behind him for his live performances.
Watching this in 2023. Need this to soothe my aching heart. Beautiful performance. Passion and theatrical. This is true music. The silence and intensity between both of them after she sings “sooner or later, you’ll be screwing around” They def don’t make performances like this anymore. RIP Meatloaf and thank you for your beautiful voice ❤
Also watching in 2023 from Ireland 🙂 this masterpiece will never die, never 🙋🏻♂️
Are you ok? It's been a hard time for us all.
Just amazing the delay says everything he gave us that song but it was song for someone special very close to his heart
With you my bro
Watching this in 2024 and still sobbing like nothing else. Nobody else sang like this.
I turned 60 this month July 2024 and I am STILL in awe with his presence. Just like my first listen to Bat out of Hell in 1977 when his voice gave me goosebumps then, it still does today. Jim Steinman and Meat are the preverbal "Yin to Yang" and one without the other is, well... Meatless Meatloaf (pun totally intended). Godspeed to them both!!! Like a Bat out of HELLLLL!!!
You can just feel his emotion on stage, every performance, every time. few artists deliver this kind of feeling live.
Agree with you 100% all the way from Baton Rouge Louisiana 2022 please be safe and careful 😅😅😅🫂🫂🫂
Sorry, he missed it with this one.
BONO is the same too!!!
He was great brings back my teenage days bit there's one other band that hsve always stood our for me and that's bon jovi who o may say are also brilliant live
Patti and Meat were great together. The perfect duo. And she is gorgeous.
This was an excellent performance. Thank you very much for posting.
His other back up singer was His adopted Daughter Pearl Aday. They were brilliant!
They were my favorite duo.
@@saxyben81 i liked when aspen miller was with him during the 3 bats live performance
@@gbmruk123 that was good as well. I am just a big patti fan.
Patti ?
Who is feeling this in October 2024
playing it on a loop.
@@patriciamcgreivy3774 enjoy the good sound and feeling
Loved the meat
Just awesome. Never to be equalled.
Also in Nov ...😅👍👍
Freddie Mercury and Meatloaf gone, there is nothing to replace rhem..tragic
real talent. no auto tune. no lip sync. just pure talent. everyone on that stage.
yes "no auto tune. no lip sync", that was music before the 2000s: it was called "music"
Sadly, but true, we,all, are living in a poor World where REAL music and TRUE Artists are no longer among us! RIP Meatloaf!!
😪😪😪😪😪
😢😢
😢😢😢
The bat just flew into Heaven-Sing to the Angels!! RIP!
Class singer and won't ever be replaced and he will live forever. God bless you.
Does anyone know what the thing he won't do is? I have never figured it out. Thankyou.
RIP Meat and Jim. Watching in September 2024. I watched an interview about an audition that was Meat’s big break. His voice was so powerful the people listening felt the building shaking.
What a heartbreakingly beautiful performance. You’ll be missed here MeatLoaf.
God this man is great he doesn't just sing the song he becomes the song no one will ever come close to him what a legend lm 62 years old and you got me though life tough times thank you GREATMAN RIP
I still get goosebumps after all these years. All hail Marvin Lee Aday. RIP. Meat and Steinman, best collaboration in music history.
I lost my dad in 2002 at 16, but all thanks to him I have always had a love and appreciation for Meatloafs music! RIP daddy and Meatloaf❤️❤️🔥
Hi Sheila, how are you
Bless you sweetheart ❤️
Sorry for your loss, they both are with our lord now.! Entertaining him
IBVANG KLASZE . . .
OKEY sa ALRIGHT .....
I never noticed before that he told her good job when they hugged. The most magical thing about Meatloaf is he aspired to be an actor. He barely had an acting career. He has some movies under his belt. A few memorable and more not. Again the magical part is he imagines a character for each album and he puts himself in that character when doing the songs. This is why is up there as one of the best performing artists. He and Freddie Mercury are on top in that category in my opinion.
Queen had the best performance at the 1985 Live Aid just because Meat Loaf wasn't there..
Let's not forget the incredible writing of the man who also made these songs possible...the late great Jim Steinman 👏
Rest in peace guys.
Word
Amen to that.
An amazing pair.
We are all very fortunate that they happened to find one another.
I saw him in '94.... he gave it all and he let it all out. Thanks a million Meat for the music and the memories.
IMHO the fact that this man is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame reduces the validity of that place.
It destroys its validity!! They don’t make them like this anymore. Beautiful voice and great performances. Now bands are inducted in no time and he gets left out. It sucks!!!!!!
If you read the list of names in that place you quickly discover that they stole the sign from the actual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Meatloaf maybe isn't "rock & roll" enough for them (lol), but he certainly would be the first induction, with Jim Steinman, to the Rock Opera Hall Of Fame. Even The Who wasn't as successful with Tommy.
I will always mourn the fact that I never got to see him perform live... Simply one of the greatest rock performers of all time. Him and Jim Steinman in combination was lightning in a bottle. Alchemy and magic
Rest in peace Meat - one of the worlds greatest performer - you are missed
One of the best ballad singers of the 80's and 90's. You can always feel the emotion in his songs. He put his heart and soul into his songs.
His first name is not "Meat" lol
@@Simon-oy7kf I know - but most folks Knows him by that .
@@oleriis-vestergaard6844Mr Loaf then?
Best song ever
I so wish I could have seen him live. :(
We dont get Artists like him anymore.
imagine being there experiencing this. he wasnt just a brilliant singer he was an all round brilliant entertainer and he never lost his self respect or respect for others. RIP Meat Loaf. Legend
FENOMENAL PERFORMANCE! When Patti comes is this turns into an epic theatre play! Absolutely Fenomenal!
Patti absolutely kills this. She’s awesome.
phenomenal
Patti ❤
December 2024… meatloaf will never get old… ❤️
What’s everyone’s favourite ??
Its so sad we lost him to Covid 😢😢😢😢😢😢
@ it was but what a legacy he left behind with many years of amazing music that will never age….
A true natural talent. So sorry to lose him. Bigger than life, beautiful vocals, roll on big man, roll on to heavens gates.😥
🫂🫂🫂😔😔😅😅 never will be forgotten 👌💕😁
Hi Louise, how are you doing
Meat Loaf was one of those that looked like me and normal, run-of-the-mill, not so pretty guys....yet his performances, writing, voice and pure talent way more than made up for it. When a not-so-pretty guy makes it this big and is so well-known and international... you know there was tons of talent involved. Dude is legend and his performances were original and epic! Rest In Piece Mr. Loaf....you'll be missed brother...but not forgotten.
I think he’s super attractive here, first thing I thought was wow he aged well. Got more handsome as role went on. He’s the whole damn package lol
@@jennablack3136 , I'll trust your judgment on that one. Lol! I guess I see that he's not the "boy band" type that gets big off looks instead of talent. Meat was a big time talent and sadly, a big time loss for the world now.
He was all that, plus a side of mental instability lol. Though i think all the great performers are mental or emotionally unwell.
@@jennablack3136 same
He was a legend rock singer not to be forgotten
Bought one of the greatest albums ever made when it first came out. Bat out of Hell. What a time to live. And even all the years later, holy sh!t, what a performer. Quality, not quantity.
Listening to this in 2022. Just so incredible. The power, the emotions, the vocals. Thank you to ML (RIP) and the entire stage. All of you are simply spellbound amazing.
I discovered Meatloaf when Bat Out of Hell 2 came out. I was 13 and just going through so much shit. I have this memory riding in the car with my mom, my head resting against the window watching things go by. I was in my own world listening to that album on my discman. Rock n Roll Dreams is playing and two lines stand out, the "you've been through the fires of hell..." and "you're never alone cause you can put on the phones..." I can't say enough how important this music was to me in my life at that time, and even though time has moved on, it will always have a special place in my heart. Love to all, and RIP to Meatloaf and Jim.
Me too!!! And life is like a lemon. But then my mum let me listen to Bat out of Hell. (The song) and on vinyl. The intro guitar that sounded like a motorbike came straight out of the speakers. So awesome
This man should have been in the music hall of fame
The best performance of this song I have ever seen. Brilliant.
He’s sooooo engaged with his fans ! Love it ! Listen to the crowd !!!! How amazing !!!! The fans were his true love 😊
Der ehrlichste Typ der Welt ( the most honest artist in the ,,World"). Zumindest für nicht absolut Englischversierte😂
❤❤
Heaven is calling you meat you will be sadly 😥 missed and what a legend you were RIP 🙏 meat and thank you for all wonderful 🙏 ❤ memories you've left us Heaven is in for a treat listening to you ❤ rest in peace 🙏 meat and thanks for everything 🙏 ❤
Meatloaf is a great 😃 singer. You will be . missed.
Many hours of listening to his unique of rock?? ? Not only that he was sexy anog8r
AMEN!!!
his body on earth is resting and decomposing and feeding the worms. in a kids song its the worms crawl in and worms crawl out in your stomach and in your snout. part of the life on earth process of decomposition and returning your body components back to mother earth. meatloaf feeding mother earth.
since god is good all the time. i know sir meatloaf is in better hands than state farm insurance on earth. and there are no better than the hand of good. so go and make my day. trust in your god and don't be a meat head don't worry about mr meatloaf think about red sauced mother baked meat loaf or meat pie it um um good for any time nutrition in my tummy tummy yummy mummy don't worry be happy.
Meant Loaf Is So Cool 😎
One of the best performances of this song. He plays with my emotions - up and down and up again. Love Meat Loaf. And good camera movements, too. I am sometimes so embarrassed by the bad camera not showing Meat when he's acting on stage.
Agree absolutely
You know this is January the 28th 2022 sad to say this is my first time seeing this but I'm loving every moment of it he is the great one that can sing beautiful songs that touch your heart 🥰🫂💕
He said in an interview that wasn't act and that he had genuine anxiety over performing the song and the band was briefed to repeat the last few bars of the intro until he finally starts singing RIP Meat legend.
@@carlettecannon8716 fast forward. It is the 29th of June. I think, if I recall correctly, until this morning, the only video I ever saw of his was 'Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through.' Fell asleep listening to Home Free, and surfaced, thinking, oh, no they didn't! Then I realized, nope, I hear real instruments, no beat boxer. And I just basked in that voice, the music, then started to drift back off as first, I Won't Do That was followed by Rock and Roll Dreams... and got jarred awake again... by an orchestra? The heck? And his performance was insane, and magic, and people just still have no idea what we lost. *THIS* was Rock opera; The Who's 'Tommy' was a concept album by comparison.
It's great that we were able to experience this time! I am now 76 years old and waiting to die. I have cancer that is no longer treatable. The music of the 60s/70s helps me a lot in my last days or weeks. There will never be such a great time again!!
😪
Buen viaje y hazlo con estilo amigo hasta pronto
You Sir, are Sooo right!! When you say the 60s and 70s music gets You and many others through this Difficult life we all lead.
Peace and Comfort to you my Friend.....I know YOU have made a difference in someone's life, and they are Thankful for it!! 🙏😉
He was such a great guy. He was a guest on Ghost Hunters several times and I realized what a special guy he was. He was so talented in so many ways. He will be missed.
Hi Jorge Anne, how are you doing today
Best live version, thank you!
RIP Meat Loaf.
Meatloaf 😢😢😢😢
Rest in peace....
Thanks for the good memories
A great loss for the music
It's with a heavy heart that I'm writing this. I saw him in concert 4 times he was awesome, and there will never be anyone like him. Prayers to his family and all meatloaf fans. Now he's singing in heaven. RIP MEATLOAF
Absolutely Epic!!! If anyone can pull off performing with a full orchestra it’s him!!! Such unbridled passion, emotion and energy. What I would give to go back in time and see him live. He gives me chills!
Saddle up for a ride of your life!
Hi Shona, how are you doing today?
Amazing singer, artist, actor, but most of all he was an amazing man. I don’t tend to get attached to people I don’t even know, but I’ve felt a very strong connection to Meatloaf for some time now. I wish all the best for his family, especially during this time.
What a act ,what a performance,the drama,the voice,the suspence at the start,meatloaf brilliant.
The drama at the end ,the whole audience rooting for you meatloaf.
The best profomance I've seen in ages a very good and brilliant singer R.I.P Meatloaf
Still watching this in May 2024. Meat Loaf was one of my heroes and the Bat out of Hell Album i get in 1977 is still one of my best Albums.. RIP my Friend
It is in my truck for when I travel. What a road trip album.
You and my dad passed away within hours of each other! I will never forget my father's leadership and passion and dedication to all the lives he touched. And I guarantee you Meatloaf... neither will we, your beloved fans! R.I.P. both of you!
May your dad rest in peace. Your dad raised a heck of a great son I'm sure. Now you have a special Guarden Angel.💖
I know what it's like to have lost both parents. I lost my dad when I was 25 , June of 1976 and lost my mom 11 years ago at the end of July 2010.
I belieave that when it's our time to 'go', our parents will be there to welcome us home.
Saw Meat in concert in 1963.Was supposed to end at 11 pm but the crowd wanted PARADISE so many times he sang until 2 AM and then left only when they turned off the lights.He actually had us all in a trance for 7 hours.What a VOICE.
When the musix ovr...turnout the lite..cause its my friend to the end
1963? Are you sure?
@@seanpadgett3053 ......
Had to be 1983 or 1993.
You most certainly did NOT
see Meat Loaf in 1963.
Had to have been 1983 or 1993.
How about you hit the "edit"
option and correct your
mistake ???
The emotions of a love story, the pause of his answer , i wont do that.... love it ❤
This is probably one of the best live videos I’ve ever seen. I bet this performance left chills to the audience
Thats what i was thinking exactly just now
The pianist was fantastic . Patti Russo was fantastic- such chemistry with Meat . The other female backing singer was his step daughter if I am
Not mistaken . Rest in peace Meat
Just the intro and his energy had me to the brink of tears.!!!!
yes it did i first herd this at 14 and am now 43 still a master peace ❣
Thank you Meat Loaf for the soundtracks of our lives. Thank you because every night we sleep listening to your music... Rest in peace dear Meat... You left too soon.
Hello faith, how are you doing
If there was ever a reason for a LOVE BUTTON, it would be him. R.I.P. to the greatest performer that's ever lived.
What a mark you left on this world
U R so awesome and sorely missed. A in d by the way you are hott , lucky ladies in heaven 🙏😅😮
We all would do anything for love but we all would do anything to have you back. Sleep tight, your music brought many relationships together.
I danced with my daughter at her wedding to this song in October 2023. I a m a lucky guy to have have three beautiful daughters who can appreciate this music. She picked this song for us to dance to. ❤❤❤❤
Happy dancing to this great song
Fun fact for you & your daughters. The very statuesque backing vocalist in long black dress and incredible waves of curly hair is in fact, Pearl Aday who called Meatloaf "daddy" by virtue of being his (step) daughter! Your family is spending time with Meatloaf's family as you watch, and that's pretty damn great isn't it?
@@vampfashions I am truly blessed every day. The world is massively screwed up, but my Life is awesome because of my daughters.
@@vampfashions I passed your comment along to my daughter. Thank You. I am truly blessed to have the Life I have.
@@whatabunchof Who says there isn't good news on the Internet. Blessings my man, and much love to you and your daughters... (and the future hoards of grandbabies lol).
The definition of performance
The definition of brilliance
The definition of a star
The definition of magic
Meatloaf: performing one of the greatest masterpieces in rock to a degree above.
He gave us his all . . .
Astonishing performance of a remarkable song - I predict this will live for generations
A showstopper--great lyrics and music. Meatloaf sets it all up with his voice and theatrics-but when Patti comes in with that great voice the place explodes. She's a looker too.
Who can sing like him? No one. The song The Day the Music Died, well that day is here.
Freddy Mercury...The both of them were UNIQUE and different but together what voices!!!
