Meat Loaf’s 1994 performance of the national anthem at the MLB All-Star Game in Pittsburgh is often hailed as one of the greatest renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
With no ego, frills, or vocal theatrics, Meat Loaf delivered a powerful and heartfelt 84-second version, accompanied by the Penn State ROTC Color Guard.
Dressed in a rainbow brocade vest, the rock legend, at the height of his ‘90s resurgence, captivated the crowd with his slow, dramatic approach. Baseball and music fans alike continue to celebrate this unforgettable moment, with many calling it the perfect rendition of a timeless tradition.
