US fans DIRECT TV Concert Special - Page 2

MBrevard · 03 Oct 2003, 19:09

Hi again, friends.

Got a couple of those 'goodies' I promised a few minutes ago.

Please remember that all is this copyright DirecTV and of course, in addition to sharing, is to encourage those who can, to subscribe to the satellite system or to order the Pay-Per-View concert this month.

If there are any problems with posting these, I'm sure you understand they will be removed. But for now:

Here's your link.

Enjoy!!

Love to all,
MB

MB, MB, MB...What can I say? Thank You for making my day!

Been waiting to see this for so long. Think it sounds even better than I hoped it would. And I LOVE this song beyond words!

Have to go now, but do not want to!

Get well soon!

Hi Danny

I still haven't figured out how to make VCDs

but we'll definitely add you to the list for a PAL tape :)

You're welcome

As well as of course liking a copy myself I am more than happy to make copies for people (say three) in the UK if I could get a PAL copy from someone. If that would help with this tree distribution?

sherrie87 · 04 Oct 2003, 00:53

Oh my goodness! I like the Mexico City live version of Testify even better than the album version- a bit grittier, a bit more soul. Dang, it gave me goosebumps!

Well we don't get Direct TV, but my 97 yo Grandma does. So I asked her if I could tape the Mexico City concert this afternoon. She said sure, and she would watch it. :o I said you might not like it...she said I want to see what has you so intrigued.

So I got the tape set and we spent some Meaty time together. Concert was very good. Had to leave in the middle to pick up our vehicle from the shop. No big deal, I'm taping it, right. Got back, and there she was still watching it!

Tried to talk over all the bad words in BOOH, soon gave that up, LOL, too
much work, I'd have to babble continually. Grandma's short review (from a 97 yo farmwife in rural IL)...he looks very serious...it must be fun to see all that...he really puts a lot of energy into it.

Well, do you think she set a record? Know of anyone else that old that has sat thru that much Meat? Never thought I'd see the day.

Still in shock,
T
PS Tape didn't come out, I did something wrong w/ the satellite set-up.

Oh well, I'll try again.

MBrevard · 04 Oct 2003, 02:58

Hi again!

Hey Sherrie! I know exactly what you mean! A lot of this concert gave me gooseflesh! But I think that, in my case, it was because it brought back so many memories of the concerts I had seen shortly before this one was done. It made me ache, inside, to watch it and remember--a good ache, I guess, but as always, when one watches Meat, it is never enough. One wants MORE!! (Sorry, Sherrie, I know you are still waiting for your turn and I KNOW it will come during the 4th leg of the tour!!)

Hey, Terry, you got my nearly 90-year-old parents beat!!!

I'm going to put the concert on during their dinner tonight!! And since they already love to watch Meat, I know they're going to enjoy the show!! 97--that's pretty amazing!! I think you may have the record there!!

Sorry your taping didn't work you! But thankfully, there are a lot of other chances this month!!

Love to all,
MB

tbuck · 04 Oct 2003, 07:01

Hi MB,
sounds like you might have had a fun dinner.

Twas a wonderful time w/ Grandma this afternoon. She really wanted to watch the whole thing.

Now maybe Jules can go over and get it taped right

Regards,
T

Myself also would very much like a copy, if anyone could do this, it would be very much appreciated

MBrevard · 06 Oct 2003, 13:45

Hi again! Glad you all are continuing to enjoy the clips.

Today, I did something I had wanted to do last week, but didn't have the chance to--I grabbed some photos from the video, knowing that some of you cannot see the clips. (They are not perfect, because when you take stills from video, everyone's always in motion--especially THIS group! --But I did the best I could to clean them up.)

Please remember that these are copyrighted to Meat and DirecTV and I'm posting them, once again, not only to share with those who cannot see this in any other way, but to encourage those who can, to subscribe and get the Pay-Per-View event right in their homes!!

Okay, follow this to the photo link. Hope y'all enjoy them!!

Love to everyone,
MB

dukesofhazard · 06 Oct 2003, 13:59

WOW!

Just watched those clips from the Direct TV thing. Didn't think it was possible for me to be looking forward to next month's concert in cardiff any more than I was already, but after seeing that I absolutely can't wait! I really hope one of the UK pay-per-views shows that Mexico city concert, really wanna see it.

Dave · 06 Oct 2003, 14:08

Hey MB:

Thank you for posting the clips from the DirecTV concert. It is good to get a preview of what I will see when I get a video of the show.

Personally, I refuse to obtain any of the min-satellite units, and I know I am not alone in this. It is good that Meat allowed more live footage of his show, but he picked an outlet with an extremely limited viewership!

I know there is a trade tree starting of this PPV concert starting in "non-Meat" trading circles due to people wanting to see the show, but not wanting to be tied down to DirecTV.

Thank God for the modern technology of VCR recording so that many more people will get to see the show than the limited few who subscribe to DirecTV.

ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!

MBrevard · 06 Oct 2003, 15:47

Hello, David. You always love to stir the pot, don't you?! An interesting point of view and interesting place to voice it. I know you're certainly not alone in feeling the way you do.

But thankfully, there are 20+ million US families (perhaps more by now--that's the last figure I remember reading) who do subscribe to one satellite company or another (not all DirecTV). That certainly doesn't compare yet to cable, but it's not bad and it's growing every year.

Personally, satellite technology has been in my family (both the large and the smaller dishes) for 20 + years now and we couldn't/wouldn't do without them. Especially now, with my folks living with us. The small dish provides everything they need including our local channels, so they don't have to pay extra for cable.

So, this wasn't such a bad deal for Meat, considering that the lead time for getting something on one of the regular cable channels like HBO or Showtime is probably considerably longer than it was for DirecTV and obviously, Meat wanted to get this out around the time the album was due to be released here. So, it's good publicity for him and for the CD--no matter what.

What bothers me the most, David, is that it feels as though your vision of the issue, as you've presented it here, is just a little narrow-sighted. This concert is NOT totally copyrighted by DirecTV, but at the end of the program, it very clearly states it is owned by Meat Loaf and Southern Star Management (I'm not familiar with them).

We do not know if Meat has other plans for this show. Perhaps, he intends to sell it to other venues around the world. Perhaps, he may even have plans to release a DVD of it in the future. None of us know what else Meat had in mind for this concert.

So, it makes me sad to hear that these trading trees you talk about are going beyond the rather limited scope of this thread into non-Meat Loaf groups. Because they may, indeed, above and beyond the DirecTV issue, be taking money out of Meat's pocket at some point in the future--something he doesn't deserve, just because he chose a distributor, who could get the product out when he needed it out.

These are just my quick thoughts after reading your post. I'm sure there are lots of sides to this question. But in my mind, it's probably not a good thing to be advertising, and probably not the best place to be discussing this, as I'm sure you'll agree, with Meat visiting here more regularly again.

None of us want to see him hurt or upset by any of this.

It was my understanding that this was meant to be a thread celebrating a long-awaited live concert having been filmed and shared with his fans!

Love,
MB

Dave · 06 Oct 2003, 16:12

Sorry to have offended you with my post, but there is absolutely NO positive for people in the area of the country where I live to subscribe to any of these satellite operations. See, we live in the "hilly mountains" and it makes it nearly impossible for us to get "normal television" around here. With the FCC regulations that make it illegal for DirecTV and the others to provide us with our local station affiliates, it makes having DirecTV quite the impossibility.

Further, I am on broadband cable internet access through my local cable company. I get my internet access at a greatly reduced rate by also subscribing to cable. I cannot see subscribing to both DirecTV and cable at the same time - redundant. Further, I cannot see giving up the excellent service I get with my cable company for a satellite company where "Joe Blow" phone tech support is all I could ever get.

Flat out, I do not watch television much at all. I watch the local news and keep FoxNews on as background noise, when the music is not playing. The only show I watch on a normal basis is Big Brother, which is only on part of the year *sigh*. Not worth subscribing to DirecTV for an hour and eighteen minute TV concert - sorry.

ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!

JenniferSal · 06 Oct 2003, 16:14

Well, you may want to start watching your cable stations again David, as thanks to Sue's blog this morning, i found out other cable companies will carry the concert on their 'local' channels. Go to this page, pick your State and puruse the listings to see if your cable company will carry it. In SouthEastern PA, ive got two chances to catch it, so hopefully you'll get a chance as well!

Thanks!!
