    Thank god for recordings like this. He rarely did this song live & when he did he skipped the verse about his Father. He once said in an interview that it was to painful to sing. One of the best story telling voices of all time! We were lucky to have him. RIP Meatloaf!

    Meat Loaf has been my favorite artist since I was 9 years old, 24 years ago. That was when I first heard "I Would Do Anything For Love". Everyone else was listening to BSB and I was blasting "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights". He had some hard times and so many health issues but despite it all he really left his mark. I'm so happy I saw him in concert in 2016. His voice wasn't as strong any more but he was still iconic and he put on one helluva show. Rest easy Meat. ❤🦇

    Rest in glory to the man that changed music for me forever. The first time I had ever heard a Meat Loaf song was in the end credits of a bobs burgers episode where they were singing Bat out of hell. And then I heard Meat Loaf sing it and every expectation I had for what a song should be was shattered. I remember discovering later that there was an entire second act after the instrumental intermission that I had skipped over, and I realized that this was unlike any music I had heard before. The passion and conviction that he consistently sang with was stunning, and it was the perfect companion to the epic, melodramatic lyrics and sprawling compositions of Steinman. No one else has ever conveyed the drama and romanticization and grandeur that occupies my brain quite like that man. I have no doubt that his legacy will live on in car radios on the way home from finally hooking up with your high school crush, speakers in the shower at midnight while the woe of life is contemplated, and deep in souls everywhere.

    We should be grateful that these videos and recordings are so readily available. This captures Meat Loaf at his absolute best with his vocal ability peaking. The song, as is most of his catalogue, is written perfectly for his style...it really is a beautiful piece lyrically and musically which, due to Father Time, will never be heard in its full glory again live as Meat's voice is well and truly shot. Matters little when I see just how great he was watching this.

Even now Meat Loaf sings with the same heart, soul and passion that he always has. I was hooked and fell in love in the '70's and I'm still hooked and in love today. Once you realize the depth of soul and passion in his music you are hooked for life. He is a Legend.

    Rest in Peace 🕊
    But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
    They say he crashed and burned, I swear I'll never learn
    Why any boy should die so young
    We were racing; we were soldiers of fortune
    We got in trouble but we sure got around
    There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
    I think he's right behind me now, and he's gaining ground
    But it was long ago, and it was far away
    Oh God, it seems so very far
    And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car

    This is one of my favorite that he dose and it came out at the perfect time for me. My brother who was also my best friend had just killed himself and my moms boyfriend at the time was abusive so this song just helped me feel like I was not alone in the world. It helped make my life barrable in my teens when my selective mutisim was so bad that I could not even ask my mom for simple items I needed. I will always love this song and all of meatloafs music.

      No matter how rich you are, how talented you are, how hard-working you are, we all deal with things going wrong.
      However, I get the point. One song that always reminds me of those occasions where it all went wrong.
