Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 1996, 'Live Around the World' captures Meat Loaf during a resurgence after his commercial peak in the late '70s and early '80s. By this time, he had returned to prominence following the success of his 1993 album 'Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell', which revived interest in his music and style.
