Everything I've seen of it, and the comments from those who have received it, suggest the DVD will do that all on its own

Have now seen it, watched on my HD computer screen (not in HD, so thats irrelevant) and listened through my Bower's and Wilkin's P5 Headphones, which produce some of the most natural sound that you can get your ears around.
6.5/10 Better than 3 Bats but not better than MSO Band sounds good, in terms of vocals, it has it high points (Peace on Earth) but it definitely has its low points. High points for me: Peace on Earth Took the Words Stand in the Storm Band is super tight, can't get much better in terms of a group of talented players. Patti sounds exceptional Guitar intro to 2 outta 3 Criticisms: Lighting is just simply too dark IMO, call it ambiance if you want, but it just didn't work for me. IMO Anything for Love just doesn't sound like itself without the piano riff in the beginning, prefer the current tour arrangement. Also one of the weakest vocal performances of the night (again IMO) Not a huge fan of the stacked backing vocals, it sounds like a Norman Luboff Choir in the back during the whole thing. Don't care much for the violin, doesn't fit with most of the songs, works beautifully with POE and 2 outta 3 though The echo is so f***ing distracting, and it is everywhere, like nearly every track. It makes me want to pull my hair out. It sounds fake and just distracts from the main course, would love to have heard it minus the echo, because with the exception of 1 or 2 songs it doesn't sound like that live. 6.5/10 Last edited by MarkS; 01 Oct 2012 at 02:54.

You seem to be the only one that it annoys, so not an issue, and seeing as even you managed to give it a 6.5 I rate it as a win. Can't wait for mine to turn up :)

prior to the show the front room is made into darkness, dry ice around the room with a small purle light around the tv giving it the stage effect,
i will hire someone for the night to stand in the kitchen and serve up food and drink on request, also someone with all my mech to choose from. security on the front door, and the arena sound systerm turned up to the max just a normal night really ![]() |

I haven't got the time to write up a review, but I'm about 75% through the DVD and I think its amazing.
Personally the echo wasn't an issue. I barely noticed it if I'm honest and I felt it added something when it was noticeable. As for the lighting issue, it looks so much better on the DVD than it did on YouTube. The band sound great and so does Meat. Rock and Roll Dreams is my favourite, it was so good! Good job Meat! £12 well spent lol ![]() |

No it wasn't. I have a hookup over there in a retail distribution environment who sent it to me as soon as he could get his hands on it. It arrived Friday afternoon. So what I saw was in fact the real deal, whole enchilada, bought and paid for with express shipping
I don't deal with bootlegs much especially on something like this. I will admit to owning a MMW tour bootleg but that's about it. Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner Last edited by MarkS; 01 Oct 2012 at 15:02. |

I wonder if it is even real? 2 hours plus at 105 MB seems way too low, it would be unwatchable. I will wait until October 18th when Amazon says I will receive my US copy and hook up the soundbar and flatscreen. It is only around $10, why would anyone who really wanted it even bother with downloading a 105 MB copy?

I wasn't saying to bother with it, I was just answering Caryls question that sadly there is one out there. I would never download this.

Next portion not directed at anyone in particular I do enjoy the Fact that even though I got mine from a legitimate source and paid a hefty sum to have it early that I am now a bootlegger. I swear, anything to try and discredit an opinion that isn't 100% positive Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner Last edited by MarkS; 01 Oct 2012 at 16:45. |

Btw I actually want to thank you as I felt your review was in fact respectful and fairly written. I may not agree with your review, but like I say I respect it because it was written fairly and respectfully. |
