I was at this concert, a meatloaf concert was incredible. Meat has said that he creates a different character to tell the story of each song so what he was doing at the start was getting into that character. He was the most unique singer ever, most performers will draw on memories of love/ loss to sing a song, he would use his extensive acting chops to become the person in the song that’s why he’s shows were so theatrical and why he was exhausted after the show. He wasn’t just standing there singing he was giving everything of himself for every song. Unfortunately he’s voice wasn’t the best on this tour he’d had trouble with it for a long time but once you get past that and dive into the show, wow. His music works perfectly with an orchestra, thanks to Jim Steinman.
The licking the finger thing is the trigger he uses to get into the character for bat. He sings every song as a different character and that’s the trigger he uses to tap into the character for bat
Only Meatloaf was seriously willing to die on that stage if he had to, with the share effort he puts in. The most effort an heart an soul, that any musician has ever put in on stage. Meatloaf is for sure number 1 at that. Epic!
Great reaction to the legendary Meat Loaf guys ! He was the King of Theatrical Rock music and always gave his all on stage. That whole concert is a must see performance with him , his band and the MSO together and is on a DVD that I watch whenever in the mood for some Meat Loaf !
Bat Out Of Hell was one of those rare things, that every artist can only wish for, the perfect album. There just isn't a bad song on it. Whether you play the songs individually, or listen to the entire story, it is faultless. Add the MSO, and there is an entirely new dimension. The MSO is very experienced in playing rock music. They toured with Elton John, then later with John Farnham in the 80s. They both released excellent live albums of their tours.
I discovered his music as a kid and followed it ever since. I saw him live like 5 times. Never be another Meat Loaf. RIP. Rock the heavens with Jim forever
RIP Meatloaf, this was my youth and how I recall while watching this wearing out 2 cassettes in my first car playing and playing this album over and over until the tapes stretched and had to buy a new one. I still have the album on vinyl in my collection and it comes out every now and then but now it will come out tomorrow for a flashback memory day TY guys loved it. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶💖💖💖💖
Wow! Thanks for this reaction. Meat Loaf has played a very important role in my life, especially when I grew up. His music ‚told‘ me how to play the guitar, the piano, the drums and overall the harmony. There is no one else on this planet who can compare to him. Great guy, great music and great friends. Thanks again!
I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.
Meat had lost most of his ability to sing, but he gave us all he had to give. You really need to listen to the original album version of this or something much older to understand how incredible his voice was.
Imagine an entire concert like that LOL. He put on the most AMAZING shows, as you can tell. The nametag indeed read “Meat,” and that became his childhood nickname. The “loaf” part came when he was a heavyset teenage football player. Aday (Meatloaf) accidentally stepped on his coach’s foot, and the man yelled, “Get off my foot, you hunk of meat loaf!”
You say imagine a whole concert like that, I don’t have to imagine as I was at this very concert and apart from a few missed lines and croaky voice it was just amazing.
Phenomenal performance but if you haven't heard the song before then do check out the original...so much more awesome guitar in that. Also another song from the same album that no one ever does a reaction to is You took the words right outta my mouth, it's awesome and please do the original.
Without a shadow of a doubt my favourite song of all time. But I must confess I haven’t seen this live version until today! What gig was this?!? Anyone? Btw great reaction. I loved watching both of your faces as the song progressed beautiful.
Not my favorite version but more of a tribute to Jim and Meat! Hard to make a real rock song sound like rock with an orchestra! More pop sounding than Meat sounding! But he was getting old by this time.
Not my favorite version of the song. Certainly bigger, but bigger is not necessarily better. I miss the interaction between Meat and Patti. @9:45 it looked like he was missing the interaction with her, too.
He left every cell of his soul on stage. Love Meat Loaf and Jim Stienman.

That's right. He explained that in the interview with Dan Rather.
What an amazing performance! I really regret not seeing him live in concert... RIP Meat
Brilliant reaction to a brilliant concert with the absolutely beautiful Patti Russo and CC Coletti backing singers💖💖💖💖💖
RIP Meat Loaf😢

You can see why the BAT OUT OF HELL album still sells over 300,000 copies every year.

Well at least your partner felt the emotion! as could be seen by her face

Bat out out hell live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra from 2004
If you have an orchestra then use it!
The lick thing he does, is trigger to bring the character out
Or saying please God let me survive this give me the energy I had as a young man one more time. :D
Not my favorite version but more of a tribute to Jim and Meat! Hard to make a real rock song sound like rock with an orchestra! More pop sounding than Meat sounding! But he was getting old by this time.
Aussie pronunciation alert- it's Mel-bn, not Mel-born.
Thanks. Something about Aussies not pronouncing r's. Cheers.
The blonde background singer is his daughter and the brunette has been with him since 1977
This sounds like a Michael Mann Magnum version. Listen to the live 70's version this is too pop
Not my favorite version of the song. Certainly bigger, but bigger is not necessarily better. I miss the interaction between Meat and Patti.
@9:45 it looked like he was missing the interaction with her, too.
Younger voice has more intensity.
Indeed. Still more intense than at least 95% of all other musicians in history.
The 60s and 70s were the best A-holes smoochies
