Meat Loaf B00tleg Hub

Hello all, this is a recent project of mine - a fan made box set comprising two halves that contains the recorded discography (often obscure) of Meat Loaf between 1968 when he released his first recording as part of 'Popcorn Blizzard', and 1977 with his vocal contributions for 'Intergalactic Touring Band'. The first half are the original mixes in chronological order, and the second half is remixes, both official and unofficial, ordered chronologically - with a few other goodies thrown in there as well as 2 text files with assorted information and a track listing. I will put a page for this project on the site but until then it will be accessible here as a post. CLICK HERE to access/download the collection, there are options for FLAC and MP3 - if you'd like to listen to it at the link (on Google Drive) then select the MP3 category, but if you'd like to download it and have the storage capacity I recommend the lossless option. This has been a fun little thing for...

I shall be resuming my schedule of audio restoration shortly, although in the meantime I've been experimenting with a few things. You can find one of these experiments below! A remix of the 1968 Popcorn Blizzard single 'Once Upon A Time / Hello', the earliest recording of Meat Loaf! (except for some 1967 recordings that are sadly long lost...) As always, enjoy :)

The few bootlegs from 1990 and 1991 are now available on the MLBFCollection. As well as all bootlegs from 1977 to 1989 with the exception of three 1988 shows I'm yet to restore, although earlier restorations of them can be found on the MLBF channel (the sister channel of MLBFCollection). All 1989 - 1991 bootlegs can be found in this playlist. I'm going to restore the 1977-12-23 Old Waldorf and 1978-06-06 London shows again soon as they need some work, and then I'll move onto the rest of the 1988 shows, and then some 2003 and 2004 shows before going onto 1993 and beyond, year by year.

All of the shows from World Tour '89 have been posted to the full show channel! You can find them below... 1989/02/17 - Hadley, MA, USA 1989/03/21 - Georgetown, D.C., USA 1989/05/07 - Paramus, NJ, USA 1989/05/13 - Slagharen, Netherlands 1989/09/04 - Victoria, BC, Canada

The full scope of (currently) available 1987 bootlegs is up. Except for Cornwall because I lost my files ... These are as follows: 1987-02-24 Newcastle City Hall 1987-03-01 Wembley Arena Radio Outtakes 1987-03-20 Philipshalle, Dusseldorf 1987-03-26 Birmingham Odeon 1987-07-19 Out In The Green Festival Click on the links to listen as always :) Here are the 1989 shows that are up so far... 1989-02-17 Katina's Night Club 1989-03-21 The Bayou, Georgetown And here's what's on its way... 1989-05-07 Bergen Community College 1989-05-13 De Bonte Wever, Slagharen Audience Recording 1989-08-12 Massey Hall, Toronto 1989-09-04 The Forge, Victoria 1989-10-01 Jannus Landing, St. Petersburg Audience Video 1990-05-19 Coconut Grove, Florida Audience Video 1990-08-18 Parkstadion, Dillingen 1990-09-19 Knickerbocker Arena, Albany 1990-10-12 University of Wisconsin 1990-10-26 Finky's, Daytona Beach After that it'll be 1988, then 1991, 1993, 1994, 1997 and then 1996 (in that order)...

I'm continuing in my efforts to restore my entire collection, here are the two remaining bootlegs from World Tour '83 - Manchester on September 22nd (kindly provided to me by Neal Fahey in 2020!) and Glasgow on September 30th. Both have the same sets and run for 2 hours, with various improvisations and extended audience interaction in both. Music wise, the only difference is that the Glasgow show has a very short blues jam before 'Gimme Shelter'. Setlist(s): 1. Bat Out Of Hell 2. I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us 3. Razor's Edge 4. All Revved Up With No Place To Go 5. Dead Ringer For Love 6. Midnight At The Lost And Found 7. Paradise By The Dashboard Light 8. Talk With Audience / Band Introductions 9. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad 10. The Promised Land / Vocal Improv!!! 11. Gimme Shelter Lineup: Lead Vocals - Meat Loaf [RIP] Lead Vocals - Kati Mac Lead Guitar - Bob Kulick [RIP] Guitar, Vocals - Mark Doyle Bass, Vocals - Steve Buslowe Drums - Wells Kelly [RIP] P...

Another full show restored - this time from Rolling Stone Theatre, in Milan on September the 1st 1983. A beloved show by fans, the set includes 'Razor's Edge' and very entertaining versions of 'Dead Ringer' and 'Paradise', with Kati Mac. This is the earliest recording we currently have from World Tour '83, as sadly no recordings from the first leg have surfaced. This is a very entertaining show, although this restored version removes the splices from the Glasgow bootleg featured in earlier versions of this recording. As such, it runs 5 minutes less than other versions. As always, you can check out the setlist underneath the video :) SETLIST: 1. Bat Out Of Hell 2. I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us 3. Razor's Edge 4. All Revved Up With No Place To Go 5. Dead Ringer For Love 6. Midnight At The Lost And Found 7. Paradise By The Dashboard Light [Missing first verse...] 8. Talk With Audience and Band Introductions 9. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad 10. ...

Here is a new restoration of the Capital Radio airing of Meat's show at Wembley Arena on September 24th 1983 promoting 'Midnight At The Lost And Found'. Sadly it's not the full show, only about 40 minutes and some tracks have better sound than others due to some freak technical malfunction on the part of the bootlegger probably - enjoy!

Here are three shows recently posted on MLBFCollection (the sister channel for this website) - where I post all of my attempts at restoring and cleaning up old bootleg live recordings... I've added the setlists for these shows and the dates as well as links to the videos where you can listen to these shows, and remember to refer to the bootleg collection page to find links to all shows that have been posted on both channels! NEW JERSEY 1981 Brendan Byrne Arena, East Rutherford, NJ, USA October 31st, 1981 - Neverland Express '81-'82 Tour promoting 'Dead Ringer' 1. I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us (Incomplete) 2.

Hello everyone! If you check the Bootleg List you will see that some bootlegs have clickable links which will take you to a YouTube upload of the boot on one of my two channels. I've now got a lot more spare time than I've had in months and years before so expect to see a lot of work going into both this website, and the YouTube channels. As always, feel free to email me to ask any questions. -Jack :)

 As always, you can find the tour date list here , although as I've gathered so many random dates and events throughout my research for the list over these past three and a half years I felt I should add them, so I present Version 2.0 of the list - now a "tour schedule and performance" list... Enjoy :)

Hey everyone, sorry for my inactivity thus far in the new year - I've been very busy working on unrelated things. As you can see, I have resurrected the lost bootleg review page once on the site until 2021, it remains in the unfinished state it was then and looks slightly buggy as I had to use an archived version of the site to access it - but it should do for now until I am able to review all the bootlegs properly, read the disclaimer on the page. If ever there are any shows you want me to post or to send to you or have anything you think may be rare, please do not hesitate to email me at mlbfcollection2@gmail.com - I pledge that this year I shall be resuming my progress in the community at sharing every known Meat Loaf performance to date. I have also updated the tour date list which you can find on the pages tab at the side also. Happy Easter as well to those who celebrate :) -MLBF

Not everyone will celebrate, I barely do but Merry Christmas to those who do. Treat yourself with some Meat Loaf related Christmas oddities such as these 1995 radio recordings of Meat Loaf singing Christmas songs for charity - with the full show graciously posted by Ad :)

Hi, just to say that I am going to make a page of WANTED bootlegs, because there a few out there I've been looking for, FOR YEARS! If anyone has any of these or knows who may, please contact me at mlbfcollection2@gmail.com - I'd be more than willing to trade, most of my collection can be found on my bootleg list page on this here site! -Jack :)

 The website is still not finished Life + other things have gotten in the way But 2023 will be the year for the channel(s) and this site! Album reviews and the likes coming soon Expect a huge website update around the middle of February Say February 17th - 24th Enjoy :) -Jack

 Well, I've recently gotten a new computer woo! and as such I've had to reorganise my collection, transfer things over, all that stuff... And seeing as now I can make videos far quicker, and I have all of my collection in one handy place... well a lot more shows will be getting posted - I can say that much :) I'm also working on a project where I'll be uploading to some file sharing site, Mega, Google Drive, the likes all the Meat Loaf albums as presented in their best forms (original and remastered), for any of those unable to hear many of the albums due to copyright reasons... regional locks - whatever the reason, the folder which will be uploaded sometime this year will contain: (all in FLAC!) 1. Stoney & Meatloaf (1971) 2. Stoney & Meatloaf - Remix (1978) 3. Bat Out Of Hell - Revamped (1991) 4. Bat Out Of Hell - Remastered (2001) 5. Dead Ringer (1981) 6. Dead Ringer - Dead Ringer Collection Version (2021) 7. Midnight At The Lost and Found - Original Version ...
