Throw in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Brian May, Karla, Ellen and Patti on stage for a 10 night Royal Albert Hall run and released as DVD and this would have just been off the scale.
Disc 1: "Angels Arise"
1 Angels Arise with orchestra/band would have been a stellar intro into band heavy....
2 Graveyard Shift.
3 Stark Raving Love (With dual Brian May guitar outtro)
4 Only When I feel together with If It Ain't Broke, Break It as played live in 2005.
5 Bad For Good still with Brian May! but more piano and improved dynamics and original song length
6 In the Land of the Pig, the Butcher Is King
7 Paradise Lost (IF this song ever existed)
8 The Future Ain't What It Used to Be (with Patti)
Disc 2: "The Escape"
1 Skull of your country intro... into
2 Seize the Night (with a better Steinman-esque production this song would have been more memorable, the Desmond Child produced coda is pretty awful in hindsight)
3 Speaking in Tongues (with Patti)
4 Cry To Heaven (Meat version)
5 More
6 Escape From Hell (Instrumental with Brian May)
7 What Part of My Body Hurts The Most?
8 Going All The Way is Just The Start (with Patti, Karla & Ellen) + Bat coda
Bat Coda: ---- "Make us Braver Than We Aaaaaare"
- Musical Break
".... Breaking out of my body and flying away..... Oh, Like a Bat out of Hell!! (Bat out of Hell - I'll be gone when the morning comes) etc"
Should have come full circle with the original gang I reckon.
Shame.
At least we got Alive, What About Love and Blind as a Bat. Quite memorable Meat songs. I even like The Monster is Loose actually.

I love this. I actually did my own Bat III with all Steinman songs:
Meat Loaf
BAT OUT OF HELL III
THE LAST AT BAT
(possibly to be redone with a BAT IV when 13 Roads To bat is out, also incorporating 'Braver Than We Are' songs)
All songs by Jim Steinman
1. Home By Now/No Matter What (m: Lloyd-Webber)
2. Original Sin
3. It's All Coming Back To Me Now

9. God Has Left The Building (instrumental medley i found from Tanz)
10. Carpe Noctem (Seize The Night)
