Meat Loaf Live rumoured to be released on DVD

Wario · 12 Aug 2010, 13:47

A friend of mine texted told me something extraordinary:

MEAT LOAF LIVE WILL BE RELEASED TO DVD NEXT YEAR

Though I'm taking this with a pinch of salt till Official confirmation.

I trust him though, been my best friend since grade school. he said he heard about this from his employer at blockbuster.

What is Meat Loaf live in this context? It could mean anything surely? Is it a recording from one of the 1987 shows in Wembley you mean?
Why would someone from Blockbuster know about this?
We've heard bad things about grade school buddies recently.

No Meat Loaf live, the 1982 concert that was only released, and butchered, on VHS.

That I dont know.

I assume he's talking about the concert from 1982 that was released on VHS.

Edit: I see Wario already responded while I was typing this. Do you know if it will be an "un-butchered" version?

AndrewG · 12 Aug 2010, 13:53

This doesn't make any sense after the original Bat tour release last year. Surely they would be looking at releasing something from the late 80s or preferably 90s rather than something that is similar and inferior to the DVD from last year?

Why release something new which'll cost more money to produce when they can re-release something old which is cheaper and hence earn them more profit?

Perhaps. Would have guessed most people wouldn't give a

about this to be honest. I may buy it just for the complete-ist thing but it's not something I'm really going to look forward to watching with a great amount of enthusiasm. But then indeed that's probably not the point for the record company. Seems a bit late in the day to be (re)releasing the VHS stuff in my opinion.

Yeah, well if it has RAW re edited in would you get it?

*AndyK* · 12 Aug 2010, 14:03

Unless it gets some remastering treatment or some additional unseen content then it really won't be worth it will it?

Sarge · 12 Aug 2010, 14:03

In case it's true I suspect the DVD release won't differ much from the VHS. I doubt that the publishers are as enthusiastic as Wario.

Meh....
I'd really rather see something new. Even a DVD from the Meltdown show would be more interesting or the Brixton Academy one from '85. Just think the 1982 thing isn't really Meat at his best.
It would have to be a great deal longer than 60 minutes to be entertaining imo.

Yeah. Brixton was a great show. but they edited the intro to all revved up quite badly.

I honestly don't have such a photographic memory like you do seem to have for spotting flaws here in there in these videos. I prefer focusing on the whole thing. And if I do that I just have to conclude 85-87 Meat is far more exciting to watch than yet another early 80s thing.

Just beacuse I can spot flaws doesnt mean I didnt like it.

And for all we know we got the 1978 release last year, and possibly the 1982 concert this year.

maybe next year we will in fact get bad attitude live

Maybe a Hang Cool in O2?
If tonight's show doesn't go ahead I guess it would be unlikely though.

Let's not forget that Wario's school friends have wound him up over Meat Loaf before so this could be a load of

. Also last years Rockpalast DVD, while an interesting curiosity hadn't really had much attention spent on the audio and video. Plus 1982 wasn't exactly the high point of Meat's performances. All that said, it's still possibly something to look forward to.

Especially when you look at the link someone just posted on Meats facebook...

Sorry, can't get excited over what two blokes who work in a Blockbusters store say is happening next year, let me know if the guy in the chip shop who swears he's Elvis confirms it lol

Wario · 12 Aug 2010, 15:28

well Wikipedia seems to confirm it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_(M...11_DVD_Release

Though it is wikipedia

Evil One · 12 Aug 2010, 15:40

Well ~~~~~~ me. If that is to believed then we get the full show. Hopefully with better sound quality than the VHS rip that I'm sure most of us have on our PCs!

Aside from the rest of the songs I love the arrangement of You Took The Words from this show.

AndrewG · 12 Aug 2010, 16:04

This world gets weirder by the minute.
Some random guy in blockbuster in the USA tells some random Meat Loaf fan about a random upcoming DVD released at a random point in the future, random Meat Loaf fan posts about it on random Meat Loaf forum. Voila it is confirmed same day by record company.

The alterations to the page were made by Roadrunner. It seems to be legitimate. Well done you.
