This was taken from the 2004 concert "Bat Out of Hell: Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra". The studio version appears as a hidden track on Meat's "Couldn't Have Said It Better" album, 2 minutes after Meat's cover of Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" ends.
Great Song, great version but NOT written by Jim Steinman!? "Mercury Blues" is a song written in 1949 by K. C. Douglas and Robert Geddins. The song, originally titled "Mercury Boogie," pays homage to the American automobile. The song has been covered by The Steve Miller Band, David Lindley and Meat Loaf. Lindley's version, from his 1981 album El Rayo-X, peaked at #34 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
Natsirthotmail, all your informations are wrong! the only thing, I agree, meatloaf did this song live (in Melbourne 2004). MeatLoaf never had this song on a CD. The song is written by KC Douglas and Robert GEddins and the Name is not "crazy about mercury", the name is: Mercury Blues But it rock's!
I like both versions, so it depends which version I'm in the mood for. If I'm in a country mood, I listen to Alan's version. If I'm in a rockier and edgier mood, I listen to Meat's version, so it doesn't matter to me; both are great.
Yes, now I know. It's after "Forever young" - maybe at 7.00 minutes, two minutes after the end of "Forever young" - Great song !
Meat surrounded by the best musicians, as always!! The piano man is AMAZING!!!
