New Music-DVD? Meat Loaf: Bat Out Of Hell -The Original Tour - Page 6

RSG · 23 Nov 2009, 14:38

Well I bought the DVD here in, NB Canada. And I'm really disapointed.

It's missing Johnny B. Goode and River Deep Mountain High.
I couldn't care less about the picture. Because even if it weren't all fixed up I would have enjoyed it. But my problem is with the audio. Sometimes the guitar is so low. That's all I've noticed so far. Damn, this easily could have been given a 5 star rating. Well hope what's to come is much better.

If thats so, you really did get screwed. My copy had both.

Perhaps he should write an angry letter to Eagle Rock to tell them that the DVD he bought doesn't meet his high standards?

RSG · 23 Nov 2009, 22:15

1000 whispers would be more appropriate than one angry letter from RSG. Frankly I'm too polite, haha.

Santa was nice to me this year and I received my DVD Christmas Day. I had a chance to watch it last night. I really enjoyed it. Sometimes it's real nice to go back and be nostalgic. Of course I found myself singing along at times, as I was fixated on the stage presence that holds me dear to those songs. A nice addition to my ever expanding Meat collection.

I got my copy at WalMart and thankfully only paid $9.99, as it was missing Johnny B. Goode and River Deep, Mountain High. The product is what it is. I think Meat Loaf's performance style and voice is far superior now to what it was back then. He was young and has learned so much during his time on stage. I would much prefer seeing more recent performances released on DVD.

You and everyone else!

i agree you see so much video recordings going on at shows you would think they would have a few by now

Evil One · 10 Jan 2010, 20:45

All I can assume is Meat is saving it all up as a retirement plan.

Review of the DVD here

Evil One · 01 Feb 2010, 19:18

I finally picked this up for a fiver! For what I paid I have no issues. Had I paid full price I might be more disappointed. Picture is much better than I was expecting but audio is merely ok. If anyone was planning on ripping the audio for their mp3 player or car CD player then forget it, it will suck!

Gimme those 2 recordings and I will try to make a nice mix of it so we can enjoy it on our Ipod.

Evil One · 02 Feb 2010, 01:03

It's a pointless task. There are much better recordings from the Bat 1 tour out there.

This is true^

To make a perfect Bat 1 tour CD to substitute rockpalast:

Just find this cd called "Hot as Hell' if you want great quality versions of RDMH and JBG. Plus the Cd has a great version of took the words. i really dont mind Meat's rough voice. it makes it sound more live IMO. i prefer it to the voice he had on 3 Bats Live.

Or probably the prefered show is Nassau Coll.

MeatGrl1 · 22 Feb 2010, 21:55

I finally bought this today and watched it earlier, it's a great concert. Couldn't pick a best bit but Paradise was fun.
Love the Meat and Jim interview, Meat's a hoot as always

I picked this up last week.
Have to admit I've known the show from several sources for a long time, but to see it in proper quality is something completely different.
For example, due to the bad quality of the floating bootlegs I've always thought this was recorded in a small club. Was quite surprised when I noticed this was actually filmed in a concert hall/arena.

Have to say I'm very happy that we've got an official release from such a historic Meat Loaf tour. I believe even in decades fans will look back, and be able to pick this one as the "pure Meat Loaf experience".
So far the closest to that was the MIA VHS from Wembley 82. Gotta say this one is much more intimate in camerawork and editing (cant really explain why). It's a real treat for those of us who werent around those early tours. We'll never get closer to actually seeing a 70s Meat Loaf concert than with this DVD.

Total agree it's a great DVD and because it's an official release Meat gets royalties which he deserves for such an epic concert!
