The rock ‘n’ roll legend, who underwent a notable resurgence in the 1990s, peaked in popularity that year. With an album propelled by the impact of MTV, he made a comeback to the spotlight, eager to showcase his skills once more. Born Martin Lee Aday, he was in his mid-forties when he passionately rendered the anthem, exuding evident enjoyment with every passing moment on the stage.
Reflecting on the emotions preceding his rendition of the traditional anthem, Meat Loaf remarked, “It functions as one of the songs I use to prepare before a performance. After that, I venture into singing material of a completely different nature.” He added, “It is an immensely dramatic piece, and I aim to present it in a slow and dramatic style.” Clothed in a vibrant brocade vest, an ornate shirt, and black trousers, he mesmerized the audience with his authoritative vocal display.
