Meat often talked about a Christmas album called Hot Holidays that never happened. In fact Meat talked about many things that never happened like releasing soundboard recordings of concerts online. Whether he ever had any intention of following through on these ideas or if they were only intended to move conversation away from negative comments is another discussion entirely.
I know Live Around The World was originally supposed to be a four CD album so there must be other unreleased material. In fact Meat first floated the concept of LATW in the late '70s for a Bat 1 live album.
The concert from Ahoy, Rotterdam in 1994 was filmed for a VHS release which didn't happen.
The BBC filmed a whole Rocktellz & Cocktails show for a documentary and then only featured footage of Meat strutting about.
There were three songs from the Mad Mad World tour that Paul Crook mixed with the idea of distributing them to MLUKFC members.

Weren't Total Eclipse and Making Love offered to Meat before Bonnie Tyler and Air Supply did them with Jim? (indeed Mr Steinman had many songs planned for BAT III that never happened)
Hot Holidays. How could I forget!
omg Ahoy 1994 and R&C - surely there's a retro DVD/streaming release in there somewhere! Heaven Can Wait was on Classic Albums

I think there are many more audio/video recordings of shows out there that are unreleased
