I've never heard of it being recorded on video or whatever, but I assume that it would.

Pud :twisted:

I'm still trying to find out exactly when and where the audio version (Heaven and Objects) was recorded! I've got a feeling that it was a VH1 thingummy.

I don't think there was ever a VH1 show with Jim accompanying Meat on those 2 songs. They were recorded, as Michel said earlier, at the Beacon Theatre on Broadway. Meat played 4 nights there on the 17th, 18th, 20th and 21st Sept. 1993. I can't remember if Jim accompanied Meat for those songs on all four nights. The only televised evidence I've ever seen was a short clip on one of the American news channels. Maybe more of that show was filmed ...... would be fantastic if that surfaced one day!

There was a buzz that Jim was going to appear on stage with Meat on some of the European dates during the 1993/94 tour. Sadly that never materialised but he did attend some of the shows.

If I can remember right there were two Live-Shows (or maybe just one?) in New York in July 1993.
On the singles from BAT II are these Live-Songs....

Love,

Thanks for the reminder Eva. :D

I've just looked again at what I posted earlier about the 4 NY shows in 1993 and spotted that I said they were played at the Beacon Theatre. They were actually played at the Hudson Theatre. Sorry. :oops:

Part of the show was broadcast on the radio in America and "Objects" with Jim on piano was one of the songs.

As far as I know it was the first real live concert ever via satelite.

What about Live Aid in 1985?

Pud :twisted:

Thanks Diane, there is a dvd currently on sale on Ebay (although I suspect it is a video-to-DVD copy) called the History of Meat Loaf, I asked the seller direct whether the 2 songs feature Jim on piano and he said yes... am tempted to buy as there seems no other source for these recordings. But thanks for clearing the dates up for me!

Sounds like you're talking about the MTV History Of Meat Loaf show from 1993/4 (can't remember the date off the top of my head). If it is then it's Mark Alexander on piano.

Thanks Diane, you've just saved me £9.49!

:wink: And you, Mr Meatloaf_unofficial, should be ashamed of your*illegal*self... (if you are the seller!)

No. This was a tv satelite broadcast throughout the USA one day before the release. It was unique.

Wasn't Live Aid beamed around the world via satellite and couldn't people watch it on their TV's then? I'm failing to see the difference. Also, how long has MTV been up and running? I'm sure they must have shown a live concert or two pre 1993

Pud :twisted:

It was unique for promoting an album.

Do you mean the live link from LA when Meat sang "Anything For Love"? I watched Top Of The Pops especially to see this and it was just amazing. This was both before the album and video for AFL was released.

It was an unusual piece of marketing to release the album before the first single, but the strategy worked beautifully. :D

I sam not sure Diane. I just have read it somewhere a long long time ago.
