You mention that Bat is on the AFL Single. Is your single a US single or something because the one I have has AFL, Back Into Hell and Everything Louder (Live).
Also, I see many of you have mentioned how good the live versions are on the Bat II singles. Are these the same versions that are on Live Around The World because I have a Runnin' For the Red Light UK single which has Life is a Lemon, Dead Ringer and Amnesty is Granted (All Live). Lemon and Dead Ringer are the two versions that are on Live Around the World and I was wondering if it was the same case with the Bat II singles.
Thanks

AFL was released as two cds - cd1 had the tracks you mention.
cd2 was in a cardboard case and contains the tracks - AFL(radio edit) and You Took The Words and Bat Out Of Hell, both Live versions, which are great.

I don't think the tracks on Live Around the world are the same live versions as the ones on the bat 2 singles, although they are very similar.
There was some great live tracks released on the bat 2 singles including a great live version of Masculine on the cd2 version of objects in the rear view mirror

Thanks a lot for that information.

I felt compeled to bring this thread to life again.

I think my fave live version of Paradise hasta be from the end of Rock and Roll Hero CD. Absolutely superb the way Meat holds that note - and then to hear the audience singing 'Dashboard Light' - Brilliant.

Yes!! Heat, that album was one of the first Meat Loaf albums I bought years ago and it's very dear to my heart. I love that version of Paradise.

At the Glasgow gig last week Meat held that very same note and let the audience - and me! - sing 'light' for him. Instantly it reminded me of this version, and how much I loved it! What a great moment! :D :D

I'm lovin the live version of '2 out of 3' from Wembley '88 (i think) on 'the Masters' album....that guitar solo in the middle is just amazing - and his voice towards the end - gets me every time! 8)
