Meat Loaf’s music comes to life in a performance with a 17-member band led by Grant Haake.

“Bat Out of Hell” is an album that struck a nerve with listeners when it was released in 1977. It is one of the best-selling albums in the history of recorded music, having sold over 30 million copies worldwide, according to Wikipedia. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 343 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003.

This tribute begins with performances of some of Meat Loaf’s most popular songs not on that album. Then the band – which includes a string quartet, horns and backup singers – performs “Bat Out of Hell” in its entirety.

Audiences will hear songs such as “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” and “Paradise by the Dashboard Light.”
