It\u2019s rumored that during one of Meat Loaf\u2019s recording sessions, he hit a note so high that the studio blew a fuse. After you watch his performance, you will wonder if there\u2019s some truth to that story.<\/p>\n<p>On July 13, 1994, the Grammy Award-winning vocalist delivered an epic rendition of \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner\u201d for the 65th MLB All-Star Game at the Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanied Penn State\u2019s ROTC Color Guard, Meat Loaf took America\u2019s beloved song to the next level, breaking all expectations and preconceptions, showing everyone how The Star-Spangled Banner should be sung.<\/p>\n<p>There wasn\u2019t a dry eye in the house. People stood and sang along with their hands over their hearts facing the flag. In every section of the stadium, fans were wiping tears off their faces, even the kids.<\/p>\n<p>What set the tone for this monumental performance was the noble and brilliant hymn-like and very understated piano accompaniment provided by Meat Loaf\u2019s pianist. It was all of these elements coming together that produced this performance of the ages.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meat Loaf performs National Anthem at 1994 All-Star Game\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XDSZxUlGZnA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meat Loaf was born Marvin Lee Aday in Dallas, Texas, on the 27th of September, 1947.
