Product Description
Meat Loaf s Bat Out Of Hell is one of the most iconic albums of the seventies. Released in October 1977 it has sold in excess of 40 million copies worldwide. In the UK it is certified 10 x Platinum for more than 3 million sales. This concert from the Stadthalle Offenbach in Germany was filmed in June 1978 for the German Rockpalast TV series and perfectly captures the raw excitement of the original Bat Out Of Hell tour with Meat Loaf dominating the stage and the album s songwriter Jim Steinman contributing heavily. Most of the tracks from the album are featured alongside covers of Johnny B Goode and River Deep, Mountain High . This is a superb film of the original Bat Out Of Hell tour.

Synopsis
Recorded in 1978 for the German TV series Rockpalast, BAT OUT OF HELL sees rock legend Meat Loaf performing tracks off his mega-selling album of the same name. Meat Loaf--real name Marvin Lee Aday--brings all his usual theatrics to belt out such classics as 'Bat Out Of Hell', 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light', 'You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)', and 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad', and treats fans to energetic covers of 'Johnny B Goode' and 'River Deep, Mountain High'.
Tracklisting: 'Great Boleros Of Fire', 'Bat Out Of Hell', 'You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)', 'All Revved up With No Place To Go', 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light', 'Introducing The Band', 'Johnny B Goode', 'River Deep, Mountain High', 'Johnny B Goode (reprise)', 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad', 'All Revved Up With No Place To Go (reprise)'.

Oh wow my bad :shock:

Oh wow my bad :shock:

I probably would have thought the same thing if I had grown up with that date system, hence I pointed it out for all the American people around here. ;-)
Still at least we can listen to Jay-Z's album for two months....not! ;-)

[RSG]

this is awesome! Hope it makes it to Maritimes, Canada!

[RadioMaster]

It'll be interesting to see if they did any re editing or remastering on sound/video or if they just release the original tape.

[AndrewG]

What like the one with the timer shit on screen? Nah, they will have a better source for this. I'd like a Blu Ray actually, the sound is more intense. But this is still pretty damn cool. :))

[AndyK]

[shameless plug]

Don't forget to click on the amazon link on the forums home page and pre-order it through there you get the dvd, this site gets your support, everyone's a winner

[/shamelessplug]

[Steingirl]

Great!! Now we need a dvd of the Bat 2 tour too.

[RadioMaster]

What like the one with the timer shit on screen? Nah, they will have a better source for this. I'd like a Blu Ray actually, the sound is more intense. But this is still pretty damn cool. :))

Dont think the timer would be a problem, I'd rather talking about the bad lighting, there should definitely something be done about that. (if possible)

[Wario]

what im praying for is that this is not edited from the timer master. if river deep and johnny b. goode are omitted for copyright reasons so help me god.

But Meat's little sentiment about phil spector before river deep could be getting the axe, as he is now a convicted murderer.

Whats also ironic is the cover potrays meat with a black vest when in fact he wears no such one during the actual show.

he didnt spawn the vest till the DR Tour

people who are able to read are clearly advantaged :))
Most of the tracks from the album are featured alongside covers of Johnny B Goode and River Deep, Mountain High.

I dont think anything specter related will be changed, this footage is over 30 years old and no one tries to make it look like it's something recent.
Also, this is a small release from a small company, nothing that moves the world, so not many people wont care about potention political incorrectness anyway.

[AndrewG]

Interesting observations Penguin Loaf.

You might want to do something about your height while you are at it too; that ceiling fan may come in handy after all to chop a few inches off you? ;-)

[firefly]

WoooHoooo can't wait to get my copy.......


Seem's as tho i have to build my Meat Loaf collection up again...... due to things that have happened beyond my control.

[MeatLoafFanRay]

Cool, thanks for the info. I can't wait for it to come out.

[loaferman61]

It'll be interesting to see if they did any re editing or remastering on sound/video or if they just release the original tape.

I found the original to be pretty poorly lighted, I hope they can make it better on dvd.

[Wario]

Soundtrack CD ahoy?

[RadioMaster]

makes more sense to me than the 3 bats live cd

we have to keep in mind though, that this is far from a major release with lots of marketing and public interest. The main market for this product are we as the hardcore fans.

[carole]

I can't wait, I hope they release it here in Australia. He must have done that just before coming here, as I saw him on 28 June 78, two days after my 17th birthday, it was a birthday present from my friend.

Woah. you actually saw the 78 tour? Woah! thats awesome!

Do you recall anything he performed besides the usual?

IE: Hot Patootie or Hammerdown :D

[firefly]

LOL.... i was only 6 years old in 78

[*originaldancechick]

Wow, can't wait to get this. Luv cx

[loaferman61]

I pre-ordered from the UK through the link to help the site. I don't think my player is region free but I found a code people say works. I am guessing that will do no harm, anyone know for sure? Otherwise I have the dvd shrink program but sometimes it seems to reduce the quality very slightly on full length movies, hopefully this is a short enough show to fit at 100% quality. Might be a better option than messing with my player, but I have months to think about it. I just hope they can boost the lighting somehow from the original.

[Pudding]

LOL.... i was only 6 years old in 78

I was only 7 and still in Captain Beaky mode :))

[RadioMaster]

I should better not say anything about age right now...

[howlerformeatloaf]

ahem. I will not say anything about age either. Do you think we can get here in the states or just over there. I was checking codes and dont think it will work here will it?

[firefly]

I was only 7 and still in Captain Beaky mode :))

:lol:

well.... what can i say to that puds? apart from your a year older than me... lol

[firefly]

and why not R.J????? ........ lol

Hold on with the PreOrders... I'm trying to sort something good out!

No, you'll need a Mulit-regional DVD player to get it to work here in the USA.
And just for the record, I was 16 in 1978 ... and didn't even know who Meat was :shock:

[Jayd]

Not that I expect it with footage so old, but I don't see any Blu-Ray release of this, also would love a Blu-ray release of MSO, since it was done with HD cameras. :mad:

I am hoping that we see one soon, this concert was wayyyyyyy better than he 3 Bats Live concert, and that seen a Blu-Ray release. Picture and sound will be incredible if this was released on Blu-Ray. :D

I am told many US dvd players can be made region free pretty simply.

Yes they can, as long as you can find the right code :-)
A few years ago I got a small Cyber Home DVD player from Best Buy for $39. I was able to set it to Region 0 and it works like a charm.

[Pudding]

Some websites like dvdhacks.co.uk (http://www.dvdhacks.co.uk/) will help on how to convert DVD players to multi-region.

That is good! Chances are HMV will have it :) Thanks Vicki

[For crying out loud]

a cd would be cool, then i could listen too johnny b.goode and river deep/mountain high without having to go through ther annoyence of setting up a dvd

[duke knooby]

very nice of eagle rock to put some songs on youtube :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml5xb4DrhZo&feature=channel

a must get DVD i reckon :-P

[Evil One]

Picture looks great, but the audio is poor.:?

[Ma.Ra]

PLease somebody tell me the audio is on dvd better....

[dukesofhazard]

Hold on with the PreOrders... I'm trying to sort something good out!

Any news about this?

[loaferman61]

Picture looks great, but the audio is poor.:?

Still looks like it was filmed by candle light to me. I had really hoped they'd have a way to digitally sharpen and brighten the picture some. I know the source was not that great to begin with, but I had hopes.

[roomster]

I have now just received an email from Play.com stating that they have posted my version of "Meat Loaf: Bat Out Of Hell -The Original Tour".

And thats 4 days before the official release :D

[Pudding]

With the Royal Mail postal strike it'll take at least that to reach you :))

[roomster]

With the Royal Mail postal strike it'll take at least that to reach you :))

Yeah, you're probably right ;)

[RadioMaster]

With the Royal Mail postal strike it'll take at least that to reach you :))

stuff from play.com usually takes about two weeks until it's over here. Prefer them over amazon though, as most of the cds/dvds/etc are way cheaper and shipping is free (worldwide)

[carole]

Oh, I wish I knew that before, I ordered mine from Townsend Records a while ago. Haven't heard if they've shipped it yet.

Carole

[Evil One]

I'm not buying it until someone can confirm the quality of the audio. If it's not improved from the promo clips posted on You Tube then I won't be bothering.

[Kai-H.]

Got my DVD today at german MEDIA MARKT - I'm very satisfied with it. IMO the 2-channel-audio is ok, the picture is much better then the well known b**tleg-DVD.

Complete setlist is included, little interview as bonus. Well, we can be happy with it ... .

Bye from KAI

Got mine from Media Markt too. The audio is very good, I dont hear any wrong "things" (I have just skipped the DVD, yet).
But the video is not that good (compared with other ML concert dvds). I don't know if it is the source material, but in bright sequences, I have horizontal lines/waves. You dont see them good in screenshots;)
http://media.mlxxfc.net/rockpalast.png
Okay I think it is the source, because watching "best of"s from 70 music tv shows, they have the same quality (the source is a tv show "Rockpalast"). So it could be the best possible quality.

All in all, if my memory is not wrong the hits out of hell dvd has the bit better video quality.
But as you might know, I can find always something to critize in quality matters =)

But it is more having an authenic record of a concert! Authenic as: You don't have too much fancy cuts from the director.

[samurai7]

concert films from years ago used to get lines on them because of the loud sounds affecting the cameras. Check out the Bad Attitude video. There's nothing can be done about this. I'm assuming that's what you mean, as I don't have the DVD yet.

[Sarge]

I've seen those stripes on other concert footage from the 1970s, too. It doesn't bother me, since the the quality of the performance is more important to me than the quality of the picture.

What I really hate are the ugly large age rating logos you now find on DVDs and computer games in Germany. :angry:

Compare this

to the cover of the U.K. version

http://www.amazon.de/Meat-Loaf-Hell-Original-Tour/dp/B002LCMPTE/ref=pd_cp_d_2

(By the way, I just noticed that the title of the German release differs from the U.K. DVD.)

[Ma.Ra]

Worst thing is the logo is printed and not a sticker!

This stupid FSK-mafia seems to be related with "all-internet-users/gamers-are-murderer-phedophiles" movement.

Why the hell such a large stupid emblem???

[Sarge]

Why the hell such a large stupid emblem???

Because we have a very caring Secretary of Family Affairs. ;)

Are you saying they're not? :))

Because we have a very caring Secretary of Family Affairs. ;)
I know, mostly this censorship supporting former minister "Ursula von der Leyen", aka "Zensursula":evil:

If you would be in Germany, you would see that this topic isn't just a joke anymore....

[Pudding]

Could be worse, could be a lorry driver in the UK :)) (Top Gear fans will get that)

[RSG]

Just wanted to ask, does the band get to do their solos? Like the Instrumentals video on youtube that lead into Paradise.

(By the way, I just noticed that the title of the German release differs from the U.K. DVD.)

I'm guessing (without causing offence to German fans) that they changed the title for the uk because unless you know alot about Meat's earlier tours, then Rockpalast doesnt mean very much to you.

And to answer some others about the quality, i think you have to bear in mind when it was recorded and what technology was available. There are some great techniques around now to restore old videos, but they can only do so much. As long as the quality is representative of other videos of that time then i'll be happy with it :-)

[Kev]

I watched it on Wednesday when it came with my new releases. It's pretty good and a good insite into the early meaty tours :)

[Evil One]

Is my main concern. I already have this on my hard drive and I think it is pretty good. I'd expect something that I'm paying for to be very good.

[MeatLoafFanRay]

Got my copy earlier today and plan to watch it a bit later. HMV Ipswich had sold out I luckily got the last copy :)

[belladonna-took]

Just got my copy too. Now waiting for a chance to play it!

[lorenzoduke]

Is my main concern. I already have this on my hard drive and I think it is pretty good. I'd expect something that I'm paying for to be very good.

In that case, don't bother and instead write an angry letter to Eagle Rock to tell them that the DVD you didn't buy and haven't seen doesn't meet your high standards.

[djfierce]

If the aforementioned is the downloadable rockpalast that i cant remember where i got it before (getting old lol) then i thought the quality was pretty shite, in fact it didnt stay on my hard drive longer than it took to watch it, (i will admit it may very well be a different worse version )

Havent ordered the dvd yet, i'm sure i'll get round to it at some point but while this is a nice thing to have and remember the good old days with, i'm not in a mad rush to see it.

[Evil One]

In that case, don't bother and instead write an angry letter to Eagle Rock to tell them that the DVD you didn't buy and haven't seen doesn't meet your high standards.
That would be a ridiculous thing to do. :roll:

[lorenzoduke]

That would be a ridiculous thing to do. :roll:

Christ, irony's not lost on you is it. :D

Still waiting for my copy here in Holland...ordered from BOL, presume it will be an import of the UK release.

[Kai-H.]

Slow, slow, brothers & sisters !

We are talking about TV-recordings from 1978. IMO we can be very happy and satisfied to get such rare concert in best possible quality. If some members of our community don't need it ... so what ?! Everyone may be lucky in his / her own opinion.

[Vickip]

I got my copy in the mail today and I'm watching it right now :))
I had never seen it before, and I'm really enjoying it. It's hard to believe that the concert took place over 30 years ago !!

I love it .. and I'm so thankful they decided to officially release it on DVD !

[Benny]

Got my copy today. One word - AMAZING.

I wish I was around then to see that tour. Awesome:-)

[carole]

Yeah I just got mine too and am watching it right now. I was around then and saw him just after the video was made, so it's nostalgic for me.

[bruiseraa]

I pre-ordered the DVD in Sept from Amazon USA. The list of songs advertised included "River Deep, Mountain High" and "Johnny B. Goode" plus reprises of these songs. But the songs are not on the DVD I received. Amazon USA no longer includes a song listing in their advertising. Song listing wasn't included at several other sites offering the DVD. Sears and Barnes and Noble sites included a song listing; River Deep and Johnny B. Goode and the reprises were missing.

I checked Amazon UK. They advertise a UK version which lists all the songs from the Rockpalast performance and a US import with no song listing. The US import is about 40% cheaper.

[Evil One]

Only 5 songs on the US version? that's a bit :shit:.

[Vickip]

Only 5 songs on the US version? that's a bit :shit:.

Yep.

Here's the description from Amazon.com.uk :

Recorded in 1978 for the German TV series Rockpalast, BAT OUT OF HELL sees rock legend Meat Loaf performing tracks off his mega-selling album of the same name. Meat Loaf--real name Marvin Lee Aday--brings all his usual theatrics to belt out such classics as 'Bat Out Of Hell', 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light', 'You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)', and 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad', and treats fans to energetic covers of 'Johnny B Goode' and 'River Deep, Mountain High'.
Tracklisting: 'Great Boleros Of Fire', 'Bat Out Of Hell', 'You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)', 'All Revved up With No Place To Go', 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light', 'Introducing The Band', 'Johnny B Goode', 'River Deep, Mountain High', 'Johnny B Goode (reprise)', 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad', 'All Revved Up With No Place To Go (reprise)'.

Like bruiserra already mentioned, they took down the description from Amazon.com. Both DVDs (Amazon.com and Amazon.com.uk) are listed as 105 minutes long, in NTSC format, and produced by the same company ... so now I'm wondering if the set list is the same on both of them :? Maybe they deleted Johhny B Goode and River Deep, Mountain High to make room for the interview :??:

[Evil One]

5 songs is taking the piss however you look at it.

[Vickip]

Absolutely.

[Wario]

I already got the UK DVD from Amazon. My DVD player is multireigonal.

I think for you poor non multiregional peeps they took out JBG because mabey Chuck Berry wanted it pulled

River Deep was probably axed cause Spector's a convicted Murder in this country.

America sucks sometimes :(

[Vickip]

Who knows .. you may be right Warioloaf :wink:

Thanks for clarifying that about the UK setlist :-)
I have a multi-regional DVD player, so I ordered a copy from the UK too. Now I'll be able to compare the two to see if anything else is different :-)

Bonus Feature: Interview with Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman

I've watched the entire Rockpalast show over the past two years on Youtube in various segments submitted by Aputey. The best part of the show is the Karla Devito/ Meat Loaf River Deep Duet followed by the Johnny B. Goode Reprise.

Yesterday I ordered the UK version Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell - The Original Tour [DVD] [1978] [NTSC] from Amazon.Co.UK. If you order from Amazon UK, make sure you don't get the US import version.

[Vickip]

I ordered my UK copy from EIL.com. It cost a bit more than Amazon.com.uk (including shipping), but they had the entire set list on their site, and I'm sure it'll be just fine :-)

[MeatGrl1]

Do they do it in PAL format, that doesn't work well with my DVD player, for example my MJ Bad tour will play but turns out B&W, where as if played on the PC it'll work normally. So when I can finally buy this I am hoping there is a PAL format available...

[Kev]

If you're still having trouble then we have it in stock and ready to go... and a good price too!!!

i have my concerns with BALIVE coming to DVD.

Knowing them they'd probably cut Piece of the Action and Midnight from the US release and give the UK the whole concert including Nowhere fast, JTG, and Both of Us.

Be bad luck if you'd had a falling out and he kept it and wouldn't give it to you.

I just recieved my copy today and watched it.
What a blast it was very enjoyable I hope to see more of his earlier concerts go on DVD like bad attitude and so forth.

Yeah, I'd really love it if they released the Bat 2 and WTTN concerts on DVD too. It's a pity they didn't make a DVD of Live Around the World as well as a CD.

Do they do it in PAL format, that doesn't work well with my DVD player, for example my MJ Bad tour will play but turns out B&W, where as if played on the PC it'll work normally. So when I can finally buy this I am hoping there is a PAL format available...

The just copy the dvd on your pc to a blank dvd, works for me :-)

Fortunately he isn't, so I was able to get my DVD today. :D I'm watching it right now. I don't care about the interferences in the picture, the quality is much better than that of the old recordings I had to put up with so far. I'm glad they kept the original 4:3 format and did not transfer it to a fake 16:9 format. I've always been a fan of the Rockpalast broadcasts, it's fantastic that I can finally add Meat Loaf to my Rockpalast collection. Eagle Rock have done a good job once again.

The concert is a pleasure to watch. The Paradise intro alone is a reason to buy the DVD. Steve Buslowe's bass solo - WOW! What you get to see and hear are f*cking amazing musicians and a dedicated singer/actor. I love how his belly is vibrating in close-up, LOL. It's great to have some footage of Jim and Meat on stage together. The interview is amusing, I pity the interviewer a little bit.

That DVD is a little gem, thanks to those who arranged for the release. Just rock 'n' roll theater with no frills. Those were the days, no Diane Warren in sight. ;)

"Good night, Frankfurt". :))

http://www.townsend-records.co.uk/artist.php?artist=Meat+LoafI have made my shop in townsend once again.:-P
Do you know how long it takes to send the package to Spain?

[RSG]

Well I bought the DVD here in, NB Canada. And I'm really disapointed.

It's missing Johnny B. Goode and River Deep Mountain High.
I couldn't care less about the picture. Because even if it weren't all fixed up I would have enjoyed it. But my problem is with the audio. Sometimes the guitar is so low. That's all I've noticed so far. Damn, this easily could have been given a 5 star rating. Well hope what's to come is much better.

If thats so, you really did get screwed. My copy had both.

[Evil One]

Perhaps he should write an angry letter to Eagle Rock to tell them that the DVD he bought doesn't meet his high standards? ;)

[RSG]

;)

1000 whispers would be more appropriate than one angry letter from RSG. Frankly I'm too polite, haha.

Santa was nice to me this year and I received my DVD Christmas Day. I had a chance to watch it last night. I really enjoyed it. Sometimes it's real nice to go back and be nostalgic. Of course I found myself singing along at times, as I was fixated on the stage presence that holds me dear to those songs. A nice addition to my ever expanding Meat collection.

I got my copy at WalMart and thankfully only paid $9.99, as it was missing Johnny B. Goode and River Deep, Mountain High. The product is what it is. I think Meat Loaf's performance style and voice is far superior now to what it was back then. He was young and has learned so much during his time on stage. I would much prefer seeing more recent performances released on DVD.

[Evil One]

You and everyone else!

[faolteam]

i agree you see so much video recordings going on at shows you would think they would have a few by now

[Evil One]

All I can assume is Meat is saving it all up as a retirement plan.

Review of the DVD here (http://newsblaze.com/story/20100111144554sagr.nb/topstory.html)

[Evil One]

I finally picked this up for a fiver! For what I paid I have no issues. Had I paid full price I might be more disappointed. Picture is much better than I was expecting but audio is merely ok. If anyone was planning on ripping the audio for their mp3 player or car CD player then forget it, it will suck!

Gimme those 2 recordings and I will try to make a nice mix of it so we can enjoy it on our Ipod.

[Evil One]

It's a pointless task. There are much better recordings from the Bat 1 tour out there.

This is true^

To make a perfect Bat 1 tour CD to substitute rockpalast:

Just find this cd called "Hot as Hell' if you want great quality versions of RDMH and JBG. Plus the Cd has a great version of took the words. i really dont mind Meat's rough voice. it makes it sound more live IMO. i prefer it to the voice he had on 3 Bats Live.

Or probably the prefered show is Nassau Coll.

[MeatGrl1]

I finally bought this today and watched it earlier, it's a great concert. Couldn't pick a best bit but Paradise was fun.
Love the Meat and Jim interview, Meat's a hoot as always :cool: :lol:.

[RadioMaster]

I picked this up last week.
Have to admit I've known the show from several sources for a long time, but to see it in proper quality is something completely different.
For example, due to the bad quality of the floating bootlegs I've always thought this was recorded in a small club. Was quite surprised when I noticed this was actually filmed in a concert hall/arena.

Have to say I'm very happy that we've got an official release from such a historic Meat Loaf tour. I believe even in decades fans will look back, and be able to pick this one as the "pure Meat Loaf experience".
So far the closest to that was the MIA VHS from Wembley 82. Gotta say this one is much more intimate in camerawork and editing (cant really explain why). It's a real treat for those of us who werent around those early tours. We'll never get closer to actually seeing a 70s Meat Loaf concert than with this DVD. :up:

Total agree it's a great DVD and because it's an official release Meat gets royalties which he deserves for such an epic concert!
