Meat Loaf "Bat Out of Hell" performed by The Classic Rock Show (2023) 4K

[@andywhiteley6027]

Old Meat would have been proud of that. Take a bow guy's and Gal.

[@gakkieNL]

The version from a few years back is still my favourite!

[@onlyme7939]

This version is not a patch on that one

[@petercoulsdon5096]

This version is the best although they are both great 😊

[@GGGritzer]

@@onlyme7939 , agreed. Other one is better.

[@retrocrosser]

Yes definately better

[@Stefano_Rodriguez]

Feel better now?

[@rodjames5771]

It is such a joy to see professionals have such a great time with a classic. Music truly is the great catalyst to bring people together! It is great to see the different iterations of the band - and still they crush it regardless of time and line up!!! Love it thank you.

[@lambo2655]

This group is still on fire in 2023, incredible performance for one of my favourite rock classics 😊

[@steamalan627]

One of the best versions of this classic you will ever hear, seen this band many times, they rock your socks off, brilliant 🎸🤘🎼🎹Al.

[@brucecampbellx]

What an incredible performance. Pete Thorn is a monster. 🤘

[@paulrahme]

This version is far more note-for-note "album accurate" than the older one. Absolutely fantastic performance to every single member of the band (and filming+editing crew too!)

[@roelstavast]

Super perfect and the drummer he needs a big hug!

[@redjohn201]

Tim Brown...hell of a nice guy and a fantastic drummer

[@boschytroop]

This is no cover band.......that would be an injustice. They're the world elite Homage band.

[@stevelewis2415]

They keep alive the memories of many great artists and many great songs and by hell they do it with a huge amount of talent and a huge amount of musicianship. World class end of 👍

[@marksowers5041]

Such fine musicianship from all the performers. The give and take from the singers is a testimony to their innate respect for each other and the other band members. I could listen to this all day long. Bravo for your dedication to such great art! Thank you!

[@paulwestcott6798]

TCRS Rules. Best touring rock band out there. Roll on Cambridge in January.

[@YBNegative]

Wow! Amazing energy! The power of a brillliant Jim Steinman song conbined with the talent on that stage. It blew my hair back while I was sitting still!

[@sorichar]

OMG! I'm 62yo and this gave me goose bumps! Simply awesome!!!

[@jannygtje9584]

I think this version matches the other performances quite equal. It's absolutely just fantastic ❤. Cheers from Denmark 👍

[@gregdempsey2099]

Always a pleasure to witness/listen to the CRS , the louder the better cheers peops !

[@thomassager1755]

Great performance with a great song. I'm not sure which version I would like better, this one or the one you did 7 years ago. I think the old version was closer to the sound of the original by Meat Loaf, while this one has more of an original, own touch to it. The old version was the very first video of "The Classic Rock Show" that I ever saw (when I still thought 'you can't cover Meat Loaf'), and I love and follow your performances ever since.

[@cmonc1984]

This band doesn't just nail the original songs, they perfect them. Absolutely incredible. Hats off.

[@Murdo2112]

Agree. I've seen videos of Meat Loaf doing this live, and while he was great, the band backing him didn't have anywhere near as much energy and passion as this one. Very mediocre. This is the band he deserved to have behind him.

[@cmonc1984]

​@@Murdo2112 I think the Meatloaf album version is good, but this version is a lot better. To be honest, I think the live versions of Meatloaf I can find on KZbin etc. are pretty awful, or mediocre at best. The vocals are all over the place.

[@ryansmith5359]

One of the greatest rock songs ever written and I won’t hear any different

[@Steinbecker]

Yeah so sad Jim steinman not with us any more alongside meat loaf.

[@tonus67]

Always a joy to be a part of TCRS crowd every year. The big man himself would approve 🤘❤️ I just love @JessHarwood vocals in this & all give 100% 👌

[@anthonyangelis1094]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️One of my absolute favorite tracks of all time from of one of my favorite albums. When I was young, I listened to this album constantly. Very well done. Thank you so much! What a privilege to be able to watch this Great performance

[@rodp2310]

Oh yes guys. Awesome. 👏👏👏👏 Saw the mighty Meat himself perform Bat in ‘82 - can still hear those raw guitar sounds now - and you really nailed it. As Jim might say ‘it’s all coming back to me now’. Thanks guys.

[@jasoncapecod]

WOW that was good..brought back great memories.. I saw Meatloaf in 1978, I was 16...

[@Jdg70]

Awesome, love this band.

[@chrisreichenbach6928]

I´m so excited to see you guys and girls in February 2024 in London. All i`ve seen so far makes me absolutely happy ... keep on rockin

[@unstablebobgable]

Wow. I got chills listening to this. Bravo

[@Franz-PeterSchmidt]

Worlds best Coverband 👍

[@richieallen2387]

Fantastic. Please guys, please come to SW England. You would be a massive success. You can play at Westpoint arena in Exeter. Please.

[@kevinpeters6688]

sadly missed them at corn exchange Exeter in September, please do come back!!!

[@BenCavanough]

Wish there was music like this these days. 🎹🎵🎸🎸

[@NickF76]

Got tickets for Liverpool in 2024. Never seen them live. Love the videos so can’t wait 🎤 🎸

[@toddlalonde1199]

Keeping the music alive! Thank You!

[@shawnlombard7350]

This group does it so effortless. Jim Steinman and Meatloaf are looking down smiling. They play because of love and passion for music the music. Not a paycheck. Thats why they're my favorite cover band

[@1973DamianS]

There are covers/tributes, and then there is THIS!! Magnificent!! Hope you are bringing your show down under... G'day from Australia!!

[@tomsmith833]

That gave me chills, nobody has ever covered Meatloaf that good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@leo1314ok]

Absolutely outstanding!!!

[@stephenturner8102]

Brilliant but i have to say i prefer the the performance you did with vocally 7 years ago with Rudy and i preferred the guitars but still amazing.

[@onlyme7939]

Agree

[@rutt-ro5648]

Meatloaf woulda been proud! One my favorite songs of that album.

[@robinallies6144]

Brilliant

[@joshw1687]

Another excellent classic. Awesome job

[@paulwestcott6798]

Both versions are superb in their own right but the band were on fire here and the energy coming from the stage from this version is off the charts. Nothing wrong in having personal favourites but finding bands with the talent of TCRS in todays world is not an easy task. The current line up just gets better and better.

[@12barmac]

Looking forward to seeing you lot again in York next year... can't wait... best Live band on the circuit.... I'm in that crowd somewhere....😁😁

[@kenRoberts1984]

Pete Thorn is just so good man

[@tylergagne4535]

Pete!!! Just wicked!

[@KathyBly]

Fantastic as always 🤘🏻

A show staple and they've mastered it.

Please come back and tour in the US again! I'm desperate to see you guys live!!!

Nice the best band the best show

[@1067MarkB]

Amazing talent, these guys really rock! Please consider doing a North American tour, I think you'd sell out some pretty big venues.

[@stevelewis2415]

They are on their way in the Spring, dates have been announced

[@DMSProduktions]

SOMEWHERE, The Loaf is looking down, smiling! \m/

[@HolgerDankelmann1]

Best Cover ever !!!! Thx !!!

[@russwhaley]

All I can say is... I have a friend who spends lots of time in Alba... I really need to come visit so I can put CRS on the agenda!

[@dldave1978]

Amazing version! I see a lot of debate about which CRS version is better…..they both kick ass! Love it all!

[@karimazmi6166]

Another amazing version of Bat from CRS following the 2016 one. Best cover band I have seen. My same comment on the 2016 version stands though. ….it takes two young accomplished vocalists to do what old Meat Loaf was doing alone… RIP

[@edveer]

Did you ever see Meat Loaf doing this life??

[@buschbacherfamily5677]

I could tell Rudy's voice has changed a lot since the first cover, but being able to hold that note at the end of an already long and difficult song is a true testament to his talents and endurance. Love from Ohio!

[@TNroadking04]

Sometimes it takes an awesome band like this to get people to understand what a truly amazing singer Meatloaf was. They use two lead singers to cover Meatloaf's range. (both this version and the earlier version.) Not a slam on this group - they do an amazing job...just hard to meet/beat Meatloaf in his prime.

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

They dont "need" 2 guys to sing this song. Its not all that demanding. They have a large crew and all share with most songs.

[@robdiego]

CRS is amazing for classic rock 🎸

[@muehr3]

Wow!!! Amazing!!!!!

[@andyparnham7542]

Amazing performance from all the band as usual, special praise must go to the spectacular light show too, very hell like! 🦇

[@WoodyNWUK]

Hope this song stays in the set. Love it, and it usually gets the last few "I'm not standing" folks up and dancing much to Wayne's delight.

[@robmackenzie8478]

out FUCKING standing, loved it, you guys smashed it!!!

[@ducatiboy6668]

I was lucky enough to have been in the audience this night and it was a very special gig if you haven't seen these guys live do it you will never be disappointed musicianship at it finest keeping great music live. The next tour starts 13 th January at the Sage Gateshead I'll be there ready for yet another great night.

[@scottakam]

That's what a bunch of pros look and sound like!

Damm this rocks like never before🤟🏼

[@1Billyis]

Kind of leery upon seeing this as I enjoyed their first video of this song immensly. i was not disappointed. :) Props to James and his awesome band.

[@donnyhud]

incredible!!

[@Rashedul.Tusher]

A perfect song to cover for The Classic Rock Show. It's like Meat Loaf composed it for you guys.

[@legendhero99]

I'm a big Meat Loaf fan. But it was the legendary Jim Steinman who composed the song. And the great Todd Rundgren who produced the album - now, alas, the only one of the three still left standing. P.S. I think I read somewhere that Bat Out of Hell is the top selling album ever where all the music and lyrics are written by a single person.

[@Rashedul.Tusher]

@@legendhero99 Sorry. My ignorance. I am a fan too and despite the top selling, I still think he was underrated his whole life

[@legendhero99]

​@rashedul_tusher Not a bother! Just letting you know. Bat Out Of Hell is my all time favourite album. Absolutely timeless. A lot of involvement from a few of the E-Street band members - Professor Roy Bittan and the Mighty Max Weinberg in recording it. I saw him live as a young teenager in 1990 - absolutely amazing and was pre Bat 2 so was in a really small venue.

[@Steinbecker]

I wonder if steinman had any songs written before he passed on. He was the best songwriter for me

[@chazchellah]

Great version and performance still maintaining the energy throughout the performance though I feel the version from a few years back had the stronger vocals but only just. It felt like a battle on the voice. Credit to the talent of both sets 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@boyechristensen3073]

The band really seems to enjoy this one 😊

[@donnadoes5738]

What a fantastic band.

[@therockingeordie2914]

the drumer is having the time of his life

[@DennisEijsten]

My all time favorite! Nothing will ever come close to this song. Band is pretty much spot on. I love that they're playing the riffs and solo's exactly like on the studio track. Often it's just interpretations but these guys have studied hard on the details and the original sound. In that regard it's better than the version of a few years ago. Good singing as well. It's not Meat (because he was a storyteller in the first place) but good effort nevertheless. Thank you!

[@boyechristensen3073]

Its sad that Steinman and Meat cant hear this tribute. Well, in heaven maybe❤

[@11calman]

I have to tell you budding guitar players, this is not an easy song to play, it takes a lot of work for everybody to get their parts right, Well done, These Guys must be the premier cover band in Britain

[@stevelewis2415]

No the world

[@11calman]

@@stevelewis2415 I would say that you are not very wrong at all mate, Ive seen cover bands Ive been in cover bands, but nothing comes near to what you guys are putting out. I do miss the Kiwi Girl that you had, But no worries, You should talk to your Management & come over here to New Zealand & Aussie, As we will soon start our summer. (Christmas is our summer) with your sound & the songs, you guys would make a killing, & of course we can give you a couple of sheep (Er,,,,, for the BBQ)

[@boschytroop]

Think cover band is an injustice........Homage Band (if there is such a thing).

[@11calman]

@@boschytroop They, as most bands, play Covers "Homage" is to show respect or pay tribute to something or some one,, "So I suppose Homage would be the right word

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

It's interesting comparing this against the one posted seven years ago. This is played slightly faster, but otherwise there's not much in it. The vocalists in the original one seem slightly more in sync with each other, too. I saw the band a few years ago in Shrewsbury, and it was a fantastic concert that got progressively louder as the show went on!

[@peters.9638]
