Can Meat Loaf top the "Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra" DVD? - Page 3

Steve6 · 22 Feb 2006, 22:16

Ok maybe you're right. But it just looked empty at the back thats all. My mistake.

PanicLord · 22 Feb 2006, 22:52

Personally I think the MSO DVD and CDs feature the best live singing Meat Loaf has ever done. And that's saying something!

His voice sounds great and he belts those songs out. How the hell does someone of ANY age sing BOOH that well after god knows how many hours of live singing of difficult, challenging, emotional songs, night after night, month after month on tour? I sure as hell wish I knew.

I've heard some recordings from the Bat years and early 80s, and he really sounds like his voice is wrecked on some of them, not a patch on how he sings live today.

As to whether it could be topped - well, I suppose the picture is a bit pants every now and again, but the sound quality is magnificent. And for me at least, if they have to make a quality sacrifice I'd rather it was in the picture than in the sound. It is after all a music dvd - I realise that you pay so you can also SEE the concert - but the picture is not THAT bad!

The only thing I think that would make a very special addition (other than Bat 3 songs of course!) would be to see some of the rarer songs (IGLHFBOU, REAW, ILFYATTT, etc) performed live. I asked him to do that for me when I welcomed him back to the site earlier this year, so I am sure it's only a matter of time!

Incidentally, please go and add your welcome back (topic = Welcome Back Meat!) - let's really make him feel welcome here and make him stay! It is such a rare and exciting gift for fans to be able to communicate with the artists they... um... fan at?!!??

Right. That's probably enough from me for now. Someone else have a go!

Paul191 · 22 Feb 2006, 23:10

i agree, but for me the only bad thing was the bonus disk. I just wish there was more. It was very funny anyways and i loved it.

LucyK! · 22 Feb 2006, 23:14

The only "complaint" I could make, and it isn't even a complaint really - I'd have loved Rock and Roll Dreams to be on there.

But regardless it's my all time favourite, fabulous!

Paul191 · 22 Feb 2006, 23:16

Yeh me too, i also wnated to see modern girl on there because ive heard that it is awesome live.

Steve6 · 22 Feb 2006, 23:16

I thought Storytellers was his best DVD.

I would have liked "I'd LIE FOR YOU (and thats the truth) to be on it.

Like you, it's my all time favorite DVD ... the sound quality is amazing, and to be perfectly honest, I've never noticed any problems with the picture. I love the extras and commentary .. and wouldn't change a thing

Although I would have loved to have seen Did I Say That or Rock and Roll Dreams included, seeing For Crying Out Loud makes up for it. I still get emotional every time I watch or listen to it. Absolutely incredible

I couldn't agree more

LucyK! · 22 Feb 2006, 23:31

I was about to post that exact thing - I would sacrifice the entire DVD if I was allowed to keep For Crying Out Loud, without doubt, gets the goosebumps out every time!

Paul191 · 22 Feb 2006, 23:33

For crying out loud is the highlight of the whole DVD. It is just so emotional and what an outstanding performance from the man himself.

Steve6 · 22 Feb 2006, 23:36

FCOL was good. But why doesn't he do "OBJECTS" anymore. He has given up doing that live. I saw a clip of him singing the song... and he started crying. Is it too emotional for him?

I would have liked to hear it on the DVD.

DIZZY DRUMMER · 22 Feb 2006, 23:41

YES

Meat is a perfectionist - if this is the last Bat project - then he will give 200% to make it bigger & better.

He will go out in a bang - make no mistake of that

I agree steve, i love objects, especially the version on 'live around the world'. I would have love to have heard it with an orchastra. That would be great.

mikeloaf · 23 Feb 2006, 00:11

There is editing of songs in this DVD but it is easy to watch it as if you were really at a live concert. The best thing about it is that it isn't like a CD sound track. It doesn't surprise me at all that after 2 hours+ he doesn't sing BOOH 'right' that for me is the whole point of going to ( or watching ) a live concert. If there was anymore it a shame it doesn't show more of Meats interaction with the crowd and the band.

I had always wanted to hear crying out loud with an Orchestra. I would have loved to have been there and AFL and CHSIB also benefit hughly from this. I think that everyone involved from Meat down can be very proud of this DVD.

Should he do another? YES and soon!

I understand the hand shaking is a nerve thing. I notice the more into the song and the more intense he seem the more he shakes. Also it seems to ressonate the sound, which sound good. There is alot of passion going into those performances. We take it for granted, it's hard work I think!

Exactly

And lets not forget... that Meat made the MSO dvd, not long after a major health issue, which most mortals would NOT have been able to accomplish. That in itself, deserves high praise imho.
For me, the MSO dvd is "perfect", I have no qualms with picture or sound quality, and Meat's voice sounds awesome, imo. And like some others have said, it would have been well worth the money, just to hear Meat sing FCOL, alone.

I was just thinking about that...Errr I am so mad at myself.

I am so stupid...I take all the criticism I've given to Meat back...SORRY MEAT...I regret it.

LucyK! · 23 Feb 2006, 19:37

To be honest though if you'd have shown me that DVD and I didn't know what had gone on health wise I would never have known.

Steve6 · 23 Feb 2006, 20:12

When he was singing the last part of FCOL, he looked like he was gonna collapse. Or have a breakdown. It looked a bit scary.

"Oh you know, you know, you know, OH YOU GOT TO KNOW......GOD YOU GOT TO KNOW...pant....pant..pant....that iiiiii love......oh I love you"

After that I thought he was gonna hit the floor?

Was anyone at the concert he collapsed at?

Steve6 ...

imo .. that's called passion... when i watch him sing FCOL on the MSO dvd.. seated there.. he is.. and then suddenly.. unable to contain himself any longer.. and coming off that stool ???... my heart swells and my throat closes.. as i've never seen anything as beautiful as the passion expressed by 'Imself at that moment in time...

anyone else???

tink..

Steve6 · 23 Feb 2006, 20:20

Oh yeah there sure is passion there alright. That's what made him famous in the first place.

Nothing to do with Meat having a funny name, weighing over 300 lbs and having a phenomenal album then?
