Meat Loaf - The Promised Land (Live at Musicourt, 1982 - Film Source)

On August 25th 1982, Todd Rundgren and various musical personalities hosted Musicourt, a tennis game and a benefit concert recorded live at Forest Hills in New York. The concert was broadcast on local TV and radio, but sadly was host to all sorts of technical problems. This song was no exception, but even so Meat Loaf and the gang still manage to get through it in the end. This footage is film footage sourced from GettyImages, sadly the watermark shall remain as to license all the footage would cost nearly £800...
The audio comes from the radio broadcast which can easily be found online under the Rundgren name, and is a really good listen. This wasn't the first time that Meat and some of his own appeared at a Todd Rundgren benefit, that would have been in 1979 at Todd's New York Palladium benefit where Meat Loaf, Rory Dodd and Karla DeVito showed up to jam two numbers. Here, Meat Loaf brought along with him long time bass player Steve Buslowe and pianist, guitarist and vocalist Paul Jacobs! Sadly the footage is incomplete, but the audio is full!
