meatloaf looks like he's unplugged himself and lost a few kilos...as for the arrangement here, i dont know how the unplugged term qualifies, i think the only thing that doenst plug in here is the piano
this is a nice tight band, Slash on gtr, hot brunette on backups (ok, edit: did not realize that was Patti Russo!...her vox are rich), the guy on keys who looks like Ruth Buzzie is the champ, imo...it's odd that instead of showing at least a bit of him for the cookin F Ab Eb C jam (one could jam all day to that sus chord progression), we are forced to watch the chubby guy, sittin, chompin his gum and roll his eyeballs...agh
i cant believe the quality of sound coming through on youtube when you click HQ mode...all for free...wonder how much i've spent on live VHS concerts, lol
i'm pretty sure meat needs some oxygen and new vocal chords...in the prior clip he was fascinated with himself in hitting the three ending high Cs....this time, it's three high Bs at best
thanks for the tips on other Steinman works...I've clicked around but this one must go down as his most well structured tunes...i was wrong, this isn't pop, this is rock opera stuff...he should probably re-title his Neverland musical
