Meat Loaf Plays NFL World Bowl
 

(Information from John's Blog!!)

MEAT LOAF TO HEADLINE GERMANY’S YELLO STROM WORLD BOWL XV

Meat Loaf will headline NFL Europa's championship game – Yello Strom World Bowl XV – held in Frankfurt, Germany on Saturday, June 23, 2007 at Commerzbank-Arena. NFL Europa is an American football league which operates in Europe. Backed by the National Football League, The World Bowl is the American football championship game of NFL Europa, similar to the Super Bowl of the NFL.
The game marks Germany’s sports-entertainment event of the year and given Meat’s tremendous popularity in the country, his performance will make it an unforgettable experience for the over 52, 000 fans expected in attendance. Bat Out of Hell III, the third installment of rock’s greatest epic produced by Desmond Child with songs by Jim Steinman, debuted at no. 2 on the German charts upon its release in Europe on October 20, 2006. Frankfurt hosted World Bowls in 1998 and 2000 and is considered the American football capital of Germany, making it the perfect host for this year’s World Bowl XV.
Yello Strom World Bowl XV is expected to be aired around the world in more than 150 countries, including a live audience in the United States on the NFL Network.

When it says aired to several countries, is that via radio, tv??? Anyone from germany know more info on this and will Meat be aired too???

Let us know, this is exciting...:D

nothing really knew, it's in Frankfurt in a few weeks, but it's not THE world bowl.

UPDATE!
 

According to Meatloaf.net the show will be aired and it says: "Check your local listings for scheduled airtimes for the Yello Strom World Bowl XV and don't miss Meat Loaf's headline performance Saturday at this exciting world event".

It looks like we will be seeing Meat perform on tv :-) So check your listings and tape it :-) :-)

where do you look that? There are any live transmittals on the internet?

has he been on today at all ??? :-)

I have no idea...
Read somewhere that Meats show should have started at 18:25h (German time).
Well... that was obviously 20minutes ago lol
I had a look at several TV programmes but didn´t notice anything about the NFL :shrug:
Bit pissed off here :evil:

on german TV is tonight on ARD a little summary only one hour-long. It starts at 0:30 and tomorrow evening DSF is showing a recording. but i don´t know if they only reveal the game.:?

yep, those are the only dates I found out as well...!!!
We´ll watch the summary tonight. I reckon that they´ll get Meat at least a little mention...
We´ll let you know about this, guys.

Read somewhere that DSF willl broadcast the WHOLE recording tomorrow.

I just checked the nake dwire and Jules has posted Life Is a Lemon on there....

I wonder if there's anymore...

Are you sure they´ll show the hole show tomorrow on DSF, not just the game, -also Meats show? That would be great, I really hope they´l do it. Normally they show just the games...

yeah, that is the question

Yes, we have to wait... Had a look through the channels -but nothing so far.
A boring Saturday evening.

You can watch either ARD or DSF here!

You just have to download first and install the software Zattoo.

Ross, that's all we got of Meat on the US broadcast, him performing a shortened version of Lemon. Wonder if he did any other songs that they didn't show? Anyone elsewhere catch anything more?
T

The game is on but no Meat and band yet...


Pa†ricia

according to different photo captions I've seen he did at least AFL additionally.
Show will be broadcasted here on DSF 19.30 german time (6.30pm for you ;))

According to some fan info the audience didnt really like him and boo'd him out.

what boo'd him off!! They must of not been a Meat Loaf Fan!

To me of what I saw on then naked wire, Meat was in good health, looking good (hair combed back etc...) and sound good!

sometimes, I don't understand people!!

well, as it's not really a Meat Loaf concert, it's not only ML fans going there, but mostly american football fans, and, whether you like it or not, most people out there are NOT Meat Loaf fans.

meat was just on
good show, did lemon, afl and booh, though all shortened versions.
I think it might have been prerecorded vocals, but I'm not sure.
Recorded it, but as just VHS, cant put it on youtube, though anybody will do, Im sure.

then he must be the world's best mimer because i watched the clip Naked Wire folks were kind enough to post... and he looked and sounded to be singing live... ;) ...

i wonder if i'll EVER be able to do that quote thing correctly?... hehehe ...

Bit of a strange setlist. Has he given up promoting Bat 3?

That was more like promotion for the artist "Meat Loaf". Pretty effective, just think of the estimated spectator numbers.

Just been watching all the clips etc posted on nakedwire and youtube.

He must have done at least 30 minutes or so as there's clips of him doing Frying Pan and Paradise as well. They def started with Paradise as in the youtube clip you can see all the reporters rushing over etc.

While waiting for the vid...

i think the football fans would be very unhappy if nearly an hour of their two hour tv show of the world bowl was used to show a Meat Loaf concert lol

oh goody... I'll watch them on youtube tonight... anyone got the correct links then, as it would save me routing through all the "MeatLoaf" and "Meat Loaf" results....

How many in total? :-)

as a Meat fan AND a sports fan ... i'm in accord with you... that's why i always have to laugh a bit when Meat fans complain he wasn't on long enough ... imo... if one is playing a halftime... or singing at a baseball game... it's for promotion ... and i'm always thrilled with even the wee taste of Meat i get !! ... :D ...

t ...

here are some pics and short clips from the world-bowl.
and I recorded the DSF-Show and upload the songs from Meat tomorrow.

KR Nicole

can I ask, where about did you find the videos on Youtube? as I canny find them.....

The setlist was:

Paradise
Frying Fan ( with flames )
Lemon
Anything
Bat

Meat played for about 20min. It was quite loud in the stadium with loads of echoes (closed roof). The press mentioned that even the announcers during the game couldn't be heard on the second balcony.

It was a great opening!

No way he was miming on "Lemon", with the shorter version he got the "parts are out of stock" segment words confused.

so... there ya go ... ;) ...

Why not downloading?

Are there any videos of the Paradise, Frying Pan, Anything for love and Bat on the net anywhere???

Lemon is on thenakedwire.com....

Thanks Chris :)) It sounds like a great show and some great publicity for Meat. And thanks again for the gang at the Naked Wire for posting the clip of Lemon !!

Vicki

I've been there.
Have to check the DSF broadcast a friend recorded for me. Won't get it before wednesday evening. But I've been told there was only Lemon, Anything and Bat on German TV.....
We had standing places behind the stage. Kasim carried Aspen out of the stadium.

Oh ok. That's a shame they didn't show the whole thing on TV. But at least we got to see some of it ... it's still great promotion for Meat :-)

I hope Aspen's ankle gets better soon :(
Vicki

It was a shortened version of the song. THe words were missed out on purpose.

Yeah that's what I thought too. It didn't make as much sense this way maybe (though probably not many of the crowd would have noticed that), but I don't think Meat messed the words up.

I didn't know Aspen hurt her ankle.....
Hope she's better soon :-)

So are you saying that Meat was giving what the fans wanted and what they didn't want was Bat3? Just think of all the estimated spectators who haven't bought Bat3 ;)

Pud :twisted:

No. ;)

Yes, I read in her MySpace Blog that she fell and hurt her ankle after singing Paradise at one of the shows in Germany. Thankfully it was just a sprain, and she posted that she's already doing a lot better.

Vicki

oh thats nice to know - thanks for explaining it to me :-)

A short TV clip of "Frying Pan" here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OGUy33uwNpg

Looking forward to seeing the other songs :-)

nice one thanx

John has added some very cool pics from their day at the NFL to his blog and some more pics to the picture pages of his site

Looks like they had a fun day :cool:

Deb

Nice! Any word on seeing the other clips uploaded anyone?
