When Will The Live In Sydney DVD Be Released?

[Ollie241189]

Hey guys,

Me again! Just been wondering when will the Live In Sydney DVD (called it that because of a lack of title) be released? I know it's in February sometime as the trailer video suggests but when in February?

As an avid Meat fan whose more than excited over this DVD I really wanna know! : )

Can anyone help me?

Cheers
Ollie

Dont wanna wait!!! : ) I'm like a big kid at Christmas when it comes to these things! I want it now and dont wanna wait! Lol

Hope we get some feedback soon!

I think it would only make sense to tie it in with the HIAHB release to take advantage of any customers who might be picking up the CD and also see the DVD. I hate to mention this for the slack I will probably catch but really don't give a crap :moon: , but given Meat's vocal woes in Australia I wonder if they are doing some touch ups on the vocals (in fairness it is safe to say almost every singer does it on "live" stuff). I am sure though it is nothing less than sheer amazing perfection:cheer:

[Evil One]

Meat said he was keeping 80% of the vocals.

[Ollie241189]

Meat said he was keeping 80% of the vocals.

Sweet!!! I'm getting more and more excited!!!

[Smithie]

I really hope the dvd includes some video footage from the UK tour, especially Dead Ringer and Song of Madness. Meat delivered such amazing live performances in the UK. Everyone should see how incredible it was.

i have just receved an reply from concert one ltd and this is what they said

Meat Loaf Update

Meat Loaf has been, as ever, hugely busy, but has been in the studio for the last week working on the audio mix with his guitarist/producer, Paul Crook. We’ve heard the first song and it sounds great!

In the meantime our editors have been hard at work on the pictures and the interviews that will be included with the DVD and the business team here has agreed a deal for North American DVD distribution and agreed terms for distribution in other territories around the world.

We’ll come back as soon as possible with the expected release date.

Thanks for your patience.

Yeah i got one too! Thanks for letting us know mate

[glamourgirl]

I hope so too.

Thanks for the update. I'm really looking forward to the dvd. I wonder if there will still be a live cd too?

[snider22]

I hope so too.

Thanks for the update. I'm really looking forward to the dvd. I wonder if there will still be a live cd too?

I remember Meat saying that there would be a CD, but I don't remember whether it was going to come with the international release of HIAHB or the DVD.

[Vickip]

I remember Meat saying that there would be a CD, but I don't remember whether it was going to come with the international release of HIAHB or the DVD.

I remember that too Mark. I could be wrong, but I think it's coming with the DVD.

[Smithie]

I remember that too Mark. I could be wrong, but I think it's coming with the DVD.

That's right, Vicki. Meat said there was a live cd along with the dvd. He said it would include a modernized version of "Dead Ringer for Love" and "Bible and a Beer" too.

[Wario]

That's right, Vicki. Meat said there was a live cd along with the dvd. He said it would include a modernized version of "Dead Ringer for Love" and "Bible and a Beer" too.

and a new version to Hot patootie

[Vickip]

That's right, Vicki. Meat said there was a live cd along with the dvd. He said it would include a modernized version of "Dead Ringer for Love" and "Bible and a Beer" too.

Yes, that's what I thought :-) Thanks Smithie.

[Vickip]

and a new version to Hot patootie

Yes .. and I can't wait to see it on the DVD :))

[ShelbyLee]

I forgot about the live cd. I'm really looking forward to hearing that.

WarioLoaf, is the new version of Hot Patootie from the Adelaide show?

[loaferman61]

Not that he isn't busy enough :D, but didn't he promise us some raw board tapes from Australia sometime in the future?

[Wario]

I forgot about the live cd. I'm really looking forward to hearing that.

WarioLoaf, is the new version of Hot Patootie from the Adelaide show?

Yup!

[Ollie241189]

Apparently the DVD will be entitled Meat Loaf Live In Sydney 2011 and it will be released 18th April! Not long but a long enough wait!

Sweet! Nice one!

[Wario]

Why does the cover look like a bootleg?

AND WHY IS IT ONLY 100 MINUTES????????

The box looks like its a two disk set. 25 dollars is a bit much for one disk

[melon]

Why does the cover look like a bootleg?

AND WHY IS IT ONLY 100 MINUTES????????


Because it does, and because it is.

[Ollie241189]

Oh right! Who did it?

there's an old saying - don't judge a dvd by its cover.

[wizardofodd]

Yeah the cover isn't mind blowing. I could have done a better job with my basic adobe skills. Still, looking forward to the DVD anyway.

[snider22]

Keep in mind that this is the Australian release only. Other distributors around the world may have something completely different

[glamourgirl]

Surely that's not the actual cover. That's one of the worst covers I've ever seen- you can't even see Meat in that photo.

[Evil One]

I assume that's Ginny Wotsit on the right. Been in the band 5 minutes and already on the DVD cover. No Patti though. :roll:

[Elijah's way]

I like the cover a lot. Is it gonna be on blu-ray?

[Smithie]

I assume that's Ginny Wotsit on the right. Been in the band 5 minutes and already on the DVD cover. No Patti though. :roll:

She's the only one you can see on the cover. Meat's completely in the dark. Poor Patti- 18+ years in the band and still can't make the cover. :(

[unbekannt]

Poor Patti- 18+ years in the band and still can't make the cover. :(

My thoughts exactly. :roll:

[snider22]

I'm not one to typically be negative, but I gotta say that the cover is crap, I've seen bootleg covers that were better.

But I'm more concerned with the prospect of Blu-Ray as I would much prefer a Hi-Def version

[Vickip]

But I'm more concerned with the prospect of Blu-Ray as I would much prefer a Hi-Def version

Same here :-)

[roomster]

But I'm more concerned with the prospect of Blu-Ray as I would much prefer a Hi-Def version

The slogan of those who publishes/produces the concert is "Rock in HD", so it would be strange if there isn't a Blu-ray release...

[ShelbyLee]

I'm not one to typically be negative, but I gotta say that the cover is crap, I've seen bootleg covers that were better.


I don't want to be negative either, but that is an awful dvd cover, terrible pic of Meat.

The new girl has been in the band for only a few shows, so why is she on the cover? Why isn't Patti?

[roomster]

I don't want to be negative either, but that is an awful dvd cover. Terrible pic of Meat!

I think the picture/cover was nice and stylish.

[ShelbyLee]

I think the picture/cover was nice and stylish.

Maybe if you could see him, but he's in the dark. Didn't they have any better shots of him?

[RSG]

i like the cover.

[chairboys]

I like the cover a lot. Is it gonna be on blu-ray?

yes, the cover's not that bad, is it?
the lighting reminds me of the live at wembley cd cover (slightly)

[roomster]

Maybe if you could see him, but he's in the dark. Didn't they have any better shots of him?

From that angle I think it's just as well that you do not see him properly. No one would look particularly good with this angle.

We also all know what he looks like, so I think it was cool with such a picture.

[JennaG]

I'm not one to typically be negative, but I gotta say that the cover is crap, I've seen bootleg covers that were better.


I'm not a huge fan of the cover either. As others have said you can't really see Meat because he's in the dark and from the angle they've shot the picture at, I think it makes him look heavier too.



The new girl has been in the band for only a few shows, so why is she on the cover? Why isn't Patti?

I think Ginny ended up on the cover because of where she was stood when they took the photo of Meat. Patti would have been to the right of him and so would have been missed out of the photo, then again even Meat is pretty much a shadow in this picture.

[ShelbyLee]

I'm guessing you're right but it doesn't seem fair for Ginny to be on the cover when John and Patti have been in the band for around two decades.

[chairboys]

I'm guessing you're right but it doesn't seem fair for Ginny to be on the cover when John and Patti have been in the band for around two decades.

I'm pretty sure John and Patti won't give two hoots about it.

[Vickip]

I'm pretty sure John and Patti won't give two hoots about it.

Exactly. The main thing is that they're going to be on the DVD ;)

[snider22]

I'm pretty sure John and Patti won't give two hoots about it.

I agree and I know I said I dot like the cover which is true, but I'm much more concerned with the content and having all the encores and stuff stay intact. I'm hoping for a DVD that rivals MSO

[glamourgirl]

I'm pretty sure John and Patti won't give two hoots about it.

You can't be sure about that. Meat said that when one band member gets a solo, the others want one too. It's the same principle.



Surely there were a bunch of photos to choose from. This seems like an odd choice. A dvd cover is supposed to grab your attention and this one doesn't.
But I'm looking forward to seeing the dvd and hopefully it is filmed well.

[roomster]

A dvd cover is supposed to grab your attention and this one doesn't.


That's individual. I think it does.

[Monstro]

A dvd cover is supposed to grab your attention and this one doesn't.


Really?


Everyone here seems to be talking about it, job done I'd say

[Elijah's way]

This is a Meat Loaf release not a John or Patti release.

[Smithie]

This is a Meat Loaf release not a John or Patti release.

It's not a Ginny release either so why is she lit up on the cover?

[Smithie]

This pic just doesn't capture the thrill and excitement of a Meat Loaf concert, imo. Meat sets the standard so high for live performers. I've seen some amazing live shots that capture his shows but this doesn't, imo.

As others have said, the most important thing is the content of the dvd.

[Elijah's way]

It's not a Ginny release either so why is she lit up on the cover?

She got in that shot by lucky chance, if Patti was standing there at the time it would be her instead. And btw who really gives a damn what band member gets on the cover??? I know I don't.

[Smithie]

I care about the band. They work hard and I'm grateful for all they contribute to the shows.

[chairboys]

such in-depth analysis of the cover here!

[Elijah's way]

I care about the band. They work hard and deserve respect.

Danny Miranda is on the cover too so they didn't single anyone out. The band gets the respect they deserve on the dvd and studio albums.

[Smithie]

It's not a Ginny release either so why is she lit up on the cover?

My point is that Meat isn't lit up on the cover of his dvd. Why isn't there a good live shot of Meat for fans who might be buying their first Meat Loaf dvd?

[Adje]

Really?


Everyone here seems to be talking about it, job done I'd say

LOL It does create some controversity here on the fan board, only when you walk trough a store and see this cover it won't attrack people to give it a better look.

The DVD cover looks like the cheap '3 for 10 euro' concert dvd's, that you find in the sale dumpsters (the ones that barely have stereo sound and no extra features). I can't believe this is the actual cover they gonna use. I also doubt the info is accurate. Unless Meat decided to scrap one or two songs from his 2 hour concert:?

[Evil One]

Either the 100 minutes is a load of ~~~~, or they've trimmed out all the talk about Patrick, or they've dropped a couple of songs. :shrugs:

[Wario]

25 bucks for half a concert and bootleg cover? BULLSHIT

[duke knooby]

who are VVE and madman.com?

[Wario]

and i thought the dvd was gonna be called the guilty pleasure and released by concert one

[stretch37]

I agree. The cover is crap.

[Vickip]

That's what I thought too. If this truly is the DVD, wouldn't the release date and cover be posted on the Concert One website and Facebook page :??:
And wouldn't it also be available for pre-order on other websites as well (Amazon, etc.) :??: Maybe I'm just being a little skeptical ... but the more I think about it, I'll believe it when I see official confirmation ;)

I highly doubt it too. Think I will wait for something more official. Only die-hard fans are going to pay $24.99 for that, if I had the patience ( which I do not have) to wait a few months I'm guessing you will be able to pick it up for much less.

[Evil One]

Patience is often rewarding. I picked up the Rockpalast DVD for less than a fiver, at which I thought it was good value. Had I paid full price for it I would have been disappointed. :shock:

[mtaylor315]

Perhaps it isn't the real one at all. I guess we won't know until it pops up on some more reliable websites :-) x

[evil nickname]

For accuracy's sake:

1) OMG! It's not just Ginny that's also on the cover. There's also that Danny the bassplayer guy and that Justin with his keyboards guy. ZOMG! For shame! If you really think it's that bad, just make your own, print it and use that one.
2) That $24.95? Given it's an Australian site, one would suppose it's 25 Au$$ie dollars. Which would make it like $27 U$. Suggested retail. On the site of the Australian distributor.

[Cherry.Loaf]

I don't think the price is that expensive £17 is less than my Rockaplast DVD was. I agree with Wario on the cover it looks like a pirated one to me

[AndrewG]

That's the worst photo of Meat Loaf I've seen from all the tours since the 1990s. Every single photo I've taken myself does him more justice than that piece of crap. Utter nonsense. He looks as fat as a house with huge legs, like a clown in a circus. Bullshit rubbish.

[Mr. Happy]

To be honest, I'm not really interested in the cover, although I do agree with that it could be better. What I'd like to know is where the rest of the concert went to? I'm pretty sure the one I attended was a fair bit longer than 100 minutes O.O

[robgomm]

I very much doubt it is 100 minutes. No concert runtimes previously have gad an exact round number like that. Makes me think they don't know or haven't bothered to put in the true runtime, as others have said given this is the only place on the net it is to be seen it is suspicious.

[JennaG]

Nice work Andrew and Wario :D

I had nothing better to do so I thought I may as well create something. This one took me about half an hour:

[RSG]

nice skybird! There are some talented artists on this forum.

[AndrewG]

I really like that cover Skybird.
Still don't think Guilty Pleasures is a good title for a DVD or a Meat Loaf related tour for that matter. It seems pie in the sky to me. A bit like Hair of the dog etc. It's not music / Meat Loaf specific enough.

[RSG]

i liked hair of the dog, very rock. Guilty Pleasure... take it or leave it :) i'm more into the show's substance than what the show is called. I imagine we all are here on mlukfc.

[AndrewG]

Yeah but if you have a music tour either called "The Wrecking Ball Tour" or "The Guilty Pleasures Tour" then it's quite obvious which one is more rock and thus more appropriate in my opinion. :roll: The latter may work for a slimy glam rock artist! ;-)

I'm just being stereo typical and a bit difficult what I want to see on a DVD cover.

Now these are some excellent covers by Wario, Andrew, and Skybird. If I saw this on a store shelf, it would get my attention.

I still don't think the dvd on the madman site is legit. Why isn't it posted on the Concert One site? I doubt that Meat would ever approve such a rubbish cover. The cover is important because it's the first impression of the dvd. If people see a pitiful cover, they might think the dvd itself is poor quality and not buy it.

[TheDoode]

Andrew and Skybird - those are both EXCELLENT. I'd love to see Andrew's as the cover, and Skybird's on the booklet cover inside. Seriously guys, fantastic stuff. :cool:

[Evil One]

Skybird's cover is fantastic. :up:

[ShelbyLee]

Very talented artists- great covers by Skybird, Wario and Andrew.


Skybird's cover instantly stood out to me. You should submit this cover to Meat.
A friend of mine who isn't a Meat fan said that she would even be inspired to buy the dvd based on this cover. It's so intriguing, she would want to see what's on the dvd.

http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y378/batangelgraphics/GP_cover.jpg

[Sebastian.]

Love all of the fan's concepts. However, Skybird's is just amazing!

[Ollie241189]

Love all of the fan's concepts. However, Skybird's is just amazing!

Skybird's is freaking awesome! So much passion. So much character. It's Meat and Patti all over! I take my hat off to Skybird and say well done mate! Meat will be proud of that cover!

[lorenzoduke]

She's the only one you can see on the cover. Meat's completely in the dark. Poor Patti- 18+ years in the band and still can't make the cover. :(

The cover is Meat in silhouette. Patti's not petty or stupid enough to care about the fact that she didn't arbitrarily happen to be standing close to Meat at the time that exact frame of footage was taken. The fans know she's important to the band, Meat knows she's important to the band, and she'll be all over the new DVD.

25 bucks for half a concert and bootleg cover? BULLSHIT

Don't buy it then and give yourself a five minute break from whinging about things not being the exact way you would like them to be for once.

This took me an hour. no reason they couldnt have done better:

http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee331/WarioLoaf/DVDCOVER.png

You wasted an hour and they did do better. Call me crazy, but unless Meat wants to call the DVD 'I can barely fit my dick in this bat', I wouldn't expect a call.

Skybird's on the other hand is pretty impressive.

I really like that cover Skybird.
Still don't think Guilty Pleasures is a good title for a DVD or a Meat Loaf related tour for that matter. It seems pie in the sky to me. A bit like Hair of the dog etc. It's not music / Meat Loaf specific enough.

Agreed. Casual fans may consider Meat a 'Guilty Pleasure' but the fans who'll be buying a live DVD certainly don't and to me it's semi-insulting/belittling to suggest we should think of him as such. How about 'The Kill' after the pre-show ritual. Just 'Meat Loaf - The Kill' and 'Live 2011' is quite striking to me, or then there's the title I've been mooting all along, 'Hell Down Under' which not only would be a tongue in cheek jab at the Aussie tour's press reception/negativity but also ties in nicely with the new album.

[Wario]

Don't buy it then and give yourself a five minute break from whinging about things not being the exact way you would like them to be for once.


A one hundred minute edit of a show for 25 dolalrs is a ripoff. call my bluff, but when meat said the DVD will be better then MSO I expect high standards.

Also that comment about my boxart was uncalled for. Skybird's is superior. I could've made it better.

[lorenzoduke]

$25 AUS is standard price for a DVD, and 100 minutes is about standard for a concert movie. You have no bluff to call. Besides which, as I said, if you don't like the price or don't consider it value for money I don't think I was out of line suggesting you perhaps don't buy it.

Also, if you can't accept criticism of the artwork you post (after meanwhile declaring the combined efforts of everyone else involved with the production that you haven't even seen to be 'BULLSHIT') without resorting to petty name-calling perhaps you'd be better off not posting it to a public forum. You were, after all happy to denigrate and belittle the work of the professional artists hired to produce the actual DVD artwork. That strikes me as a little hypocritical.

Hmm.

it was not criticism. it just felt liek you use dmy boxart to go off on the thing i posted about the cover looking like a bootleg cover and 25 being a ripoff for a 100 minuted edited concert. I dont care if thats standard, MSO was 2 and a half hours.If they omit a song, any one, itll automatically be inferior and be stained imo. and if they remove all the audience banter like on 3 bats live thats another strike

[RSG]

In reguards to cuts in the shows, MSO was edited, John's drum intro to chsib was shortened. I expect some cuts on this one too. I might add that mso was awesome, 3 bats was good and really showed Meat in his own light, really feel it when he looks in alot of pain on blind as a bat.

[chairboys]

This took me an hour.

This also took me around an hour to do

This one took me about half an hour:




Speed it up chaps!

[robgomm]

You guys shouldn't be arguing about this because this DVD is highly suspicious. Firstly I refuse to believe that it's the only place in the world that is selling the DVD. Secondly 100 minutes exactly? Really? When have you ever seen a music dvd with an exact runtime like that? Makes me think they just put in a random figure and don't actually know how long it is.

Also Lorenzoduke you are in a minority of people who think that cover looks good. It does actually look like a bootleg cover, nobody can tell me that is a good picture for a DVD cover.

[Wario]

concert one has confirmed the cover and runtime are bogas but the destributer is legitimate. they dunno why they used the cover they used or the info they used. thank god.

[JennaG]

Thanks for the info.

I'm glad that the runtime is incorrect because one hour and forty minutes would be rather disappointing.

[Ollie241189]

I cant believe the sh!t flying around on here! I simply put on my thread that I saw somewhere a release date and maybe the cover and this has blown up to a freaking slagging match! Sort yourselves out and give over!!! We will find out what the cover is when concert-one release it!

[mtaylor315]

Oh thats good news then! I thought the fake cover was alright, but I sort of expected something more :lol: x

I cant believe the sh!t flying around on here!Are you new? :lol:

[Ollie241189]

Are you new? :lol:

Lol no but I've seen bitching on other threads but I've put a simple comment on here about a release date and a cover and it seems like a freakin war has started over something trivial and I dont want it on my thread! The designs on here are fantastic so why cant people appreciate them for what they are and leave the bitching and moaning around it! : )

[lorenzoduke]

It does actually look like a bootleg cover, nobody can tell me that is a good picture for a DVD cover.

If you're completely closed off to opposing opinions like that, there's not really much can be said. I wouldn't have minded if that was the cover. I am glad to hear that the DVD will likely have a longer run time though.

screw it

http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee331/WarioLoaf/sydney-1.png

That one I like (and not just because it uses the title I suggested ;) ). The b&w photo is cool and striking. It conveys the drama of a Meat show well. Only criticism would be that the font on the back makes the tracklisting a little hard to read.

It'd be nice to see a full band shot on the DVD - something like the one from the HIAH booklet but less minuscule obviously. And having the NLE credited on the cover would be a nice touch.

Right now my main hope is that the DVD is called more or less anything but 'Guilty Pleasure'.

[Evil One]

I do agree that Guilty Pleasure is a poor choice of name, for the reasons already stated in this thread.

[Ollie241189]

I'm not completely closed off to opposing opinions it's just that there is a difference between opposing opinions and bitching and what started off as opposing opinions turned into a slagging match and there's no need for it. We're all friends here! : )

Call me crazy, but unless Meat wants to call the DVD 'I can barely fit my dick in this bat'

[CarylB]

I like Jenna's idea, also Warrio's second attempt is better than the first. Personally I don't have any great issue with the one that was posted at the beginning .. but whatever it is the DVD is more important, although I take the point that it wants to be eye-catching on the shelf. I wouldn't call it Hell Down Under, as although it was hell for Meat, I wouldn't give those who made it so the satisfaction of making any comment. Meat was imo wise to simply walk away from it all, and leave it in his dust. I always think Live at ..... is the best title for a live concert DVD anyway, as it conveys exactly what people will get .. a live concert recording.

True enough Caryl - but the thing to me with Meat and hell, whether we're talking about characters in songs and hell's physical, real or metaphorical, he always breaks out of it and is stronger for the experience. ;)

[Wario]

what we all failed to notice too is the cover on that site had no parental advisory sticker on the DVD cover. if its not there we know somethings not right

Meat says the f word all the time one stage

[RSG]

did he on mso?

[duke knooby]

what we didn't fail to notice was the exempt from classification notice

and what we spotted was no mention of the the people who were meant to be charge of the project, rather vve's name and madman etc etc

so i reckon we failed to notice nothing, just some got a bit excited and carried away with some "news"

[Wario]

did he on mso?

MSO was edited and censored DRASTICALLY

The intro to all revved up was trunkated, he goes into a story about the beer bottle and getting drunk with a girl (have the audience recording somewhere), the F word is omitted from paradise and Took the Words, and the crotch grab from ARU is omitted.

so much censoring i didnt notice till recently

I agree .. and Mel said from her best recollection he held back in Sidney because he knows that too ;)

Look .. I don't give a flying F whether Meat uses the F word or not .. and I deplore those who go to adult concerts and then complain about adult language being used. But this is a DVD and they want to maximise sales. Meat doesn't HAVE to swear to be the real Meat for me. He'll be singing and, as always, great fun and superbly entertaining. I have no concerns at all about expletives, nor do I need to have them included to enjoy a DVD of his live show. If it worried me I'd consider myself as those parodied in Flanders & Swan's "Pee, Po, Belly, Bum, Drawers!" :lol:

Caryl

[Sue K]

Why does the cover look like a bootleg?

AND WHY IS IT ONLY 100 MINUTES????????

The box looks like its a two disk set. 25 dollars is a bit much for one disk

Oh... I LIKE the cover... It's a picture of Meat in concert and the dvd is ... ummm... well... Meat in concert ... :D ...

I agree Caryl about not caring whether he swears or not I just dont want them to edit too much which (from what I've heard) is what they did to MSO although it was an amazing show!

[RSG]

I'm on the edge of my seat for this new DVD! The set is very close to the one Jeanie, Kathy and I were a part of at Summerfest! And to hear some new songs like Los Angeloser and Peace on Earth, that IS going to be SWEET :D Also the acoustic guitar intro on R&R Dreams, I'll admit it... there was tears of joy.. standing underneath Paul Crook with my buddy Josh. Josh had a great time and we was laughing at all the jokes and funny lyric to Los Angeloser. Which is good cause we both been going thru a lot of the same bull in the past year.

After the encore, Josh started yelling Meat, Meat, Meat Loaf! And people joined him, they come out Again, and played Crazy About A Mercury... A real memorable night to remember! Met them cool ladies too like I said above :) :) Haha, in the line up before the show we was singing ML getting our pics taken! :)

Another 100 minute run time again. I'm guessing if that it true some of the covered songs in encores may be cut to save money. Just a guess. "Paradise has to run at close to 20 minutes alone.

I was going to pre-order but then I remembered that my laptop is not a multi-region DVD player and as I frequentely use it as a portable DVD player, it's quite an important thing to consider.

[loaferman61]

I per-ordered the blu-ray from Amazon US who lists it as an import. I wonder if there are region code issues? My blu-ray player does not have a hack available. I'd hate to spend close to $40 and have it not play.

Exactly, it says 'Import' under format. Personally I'd wait on pre-ordering until the domestic edition is up.
