You sound surprised by the coincidental timing?

Can someone enlighten me what Roadrunner Records might have to do with concert footage that was originally released about 30 years ago?

If it is indeed going to be put on DVD by Eagle Vision, it probably will be an interesting release. Their DVDs are usually quite good, although I think they could have done a better job with regard to to the Rockpalast concert.

It all depends how much effort they choose to put into it and if the original film has been kept somewhere safe or stored under someone's toilet cistern for 30 years. You're right, the job they did on Rockpalast was pretty poor.

I suspect part of the problem was the source material and that there wasn't much they could do about it. They could have put more effort in titles, menu, packaging, etc. though. Best Eagle Vision release I've ever bought was a 3-DVD set of Rory Gallagher's Rockpalast concerts: 10 hours of music in a well-designed digipak. I wish the Meat Loaf DVD had been equally good. But it's a nice DVD anyway.

There's a couple of bootlegs of the same concert, but performed at the Hammersmith Odeon. If they were feeling clever they could have combined the audio from that show, with the video from Rockpalast and created a much better product. Although that would probably take more effort than they wanted to spend on it, and there is always the question of who owns what.

You watch too many Wario videos.

"Better" product - maybe, but not very genuine.

Evil One · 12 Aug 2010, 19:23

Note I used the word clever, something which isn't usually associated with Wario!

Yeah that's one video of a host of 300 uploads.

I like to think I change lives with my channel :)

duke knooby · 13 Aug 2010, 01:24

my vhs copy is still in good order.

MeatGrl1 · 13 Aug 2010, 02:23

I have two VHS copies of this because one of them promised Read 'Em And Weep in the set list then when I watched it, it was identical to the one I have, the only way this could be a good release would be to release the full unedited concert onto DVD with mabe an interview from that era as a bonus but as it stands I am not won over. Bad Attitude Live to DVD would make me more excited but I guess that's setting my hopes too high

...

Evil One · 13 Aug 2010, 10:10

Unless Wario's theory is right and they're slowly working through whatever Meat stuff they have in chronological order. I don't think there was anything from the Midnight tour, which would mean that Bad Attitude Live could be put out in 2012.

Evil One · 13 Aug 2010, 19:37

I've had a thought and decided to commemorate the occasion by posting it here for posterity.

Shouldn't there be an encore performance of Gimme Shelter listed on the new and improved Wikipedia page? Perhaps it's been dropped due to rights issues? Perhaps the tape ran out before Meat finished? Perhaps Meat didn't do it that night?

That said I don't really give a toss as it was mainly the band singing the song while Meat pumped his fist in the air anyway.

Well Thats missing and Come in the Night is too. The DVD is only like 93 Minutes if I added it up correctly.

mickp · 14 Aug 2010, 00:08

I'm looking forward to this especially if the missing stuff is included. Would have been nice to get Dortmund as a double dvd, but I guess 1985 will be next

You seem to have mistakenly typed torture instead of nice

Wario · 14 Aug 2010, 00:38

Believe it or not the set list at dortmund was:

American Guitar Speech
Revved up
DRFL
BOOH
2/3
Gimme Shelter

Nothing was edited out during broadcast. It was during a Festival (Rock Pop), it wasn't an actual full scale concert.

Sarge · 14 Aug 2010, 00:49

Although Dortmund '81 was a rather bad performance by Meat, the audience seemed to like it very much anyway. I watched it only once or twice but didn't he jump into the audience, too?

mickp · 14 Aug 2010, 00:50

Some aspects of Dortmund may be torture, but I prefer the band with Davey Johnstone and I'll put up with the vocals for the guitars at the start of 2 out of 3

The middle section of Dortmund (the shorter version you can find on some sites) was shown on BBC in the UK at the time late one midweek evening, I think on OGWT (possibly live). That was the first time I'd seen him perform live and it didn't put me off seeing him on the European tour in 82. In hindsight his voice is not good, but the whole show was great and I still enjoy the old stuff

MeatGrl1 · 15 Aug 2010, 02:11

Is Dortmund where he was drunk and Two Out Of Three was awful because he was drunk ?! Saw that once and once only it was an absolutely appauling performance and I usually like everything

!!

yep

Sarge · 15 Aug 2010, 02:33

This thread made me watch the Dortmund show again. It's indeed not good but it's not "appalling" either. I like watching the band play and although Meat is in pretty bad shape, I consider his "singing" endurable for the most part. Just wondered what the heck he was doing with his fly.

yea that was odd...

glamourgirl · 16 Aug 2010, 22:05

I'm surprised they chose this concert. Wouldn't a dvd from the 90's when Meat was selling out arenas all over the world sell better? Why haven't there been any dvds of Meat's tours in the 90's?
