Wow is right! :-/ Odd. And I can't quite make up my mind on how I feel about what I read either. Then again it IS almost 3:45 AM so that could be the reason for it. LOL

The reviewer says that Meat struggles to hit some of the high notes I was just wondering, has he seen the clip of Bat Out Of Hell? You're telling me he didn't hit the high notes at the end?

Well in all fairness he sounds far from perfect in the clips I've heard, including Bat. So I think it's a fair statement for the reviewer to make

It is a worldwide DVD release. Good, bad, or indifferent you have to know going into it that people are going to scrutinize it and "put it under a microscope" its just human nature. Some people won't, but detail oriented people like myself are going to notice things like weird echo effects and lighting issues.
Doesn't mean the entire product is bad, will have to wait and see on that, but it is just honest opinions and there isn't anything wrong with that.

Then we'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm not one of those people who feels the need to scrutinize it or
"put it under a microscope" .... I'll simply enjoy the concert as a whole, and only comment on the DVD when
I've seen the final released version.
To be perfectly honest with you, my only wish is that The Giving Tree and Mad Mad World had been included
... hopefully they will both be released on video somewhere down the road because they have both been truly
amazing live on this tour.

Is it? It may be human nature for a minority but the majority of people who'll buy it will like it or dislike it as a whole DVD.

Exactly.

Well in all fairness you cut out half of what I said, but that's neither here nor there.
I will recluse myself from further discussion on the matter for the simple fact that nothing that I have seen so far has made me want to buy the thing, so I simply won't be spending my hard earned money on this.

I found the tour to be enjoyable overall but lacks something I can't put my finger on it though.

I agree. The members of this forum don't imo exactly represent Meat's wider fanbase but are a minority in themselves, and even on here many will just buy it, play it and enjoy it as a whole performance without the need to examine every aspect of the production. Meat's point that pinning it on a board and dissecting it down to the bones isn't the best way to enjoying it is well made in my view .. but most people won't do that.

Meat, from what I've heard on iTunes and on Youtube this DVD is gonna be freakin amazing!!! You sound more than amazing. You look like you had fun and any fan will love it and you, my good sir, should be bloody proud of what you do and what you are about to release as it looks and sounds perfect an anyone who doubts what you do needs their heads checking.
Never, ever, EVER stop rocking, else you'll have me to deal with lol.
Take care Meat!
Well I dont know what the hell you were listening to but he souded more than amazing to me!
I could ask you the same thing. Especially in relation to the iTunes material that you mentioned. Take Hot Patootie for instance, it is vocally terrible IMO. There comes a time where you start to notice that difference between screaming and singing

If that means you'll be ended with touring it would be very sad for us :( But never will it be like you were never there. You have filled stages with your presence far too often for it not to live on in our memories, and it would seem deafeningly silent and empty without you.
I too hope it's a reaction to the post you quoted. Your vocals have been marvellous the past couple of tours. And at every show you do during the next year there will be thousands who leave delighted, with another evening of something very special to hold dear.
You sing .. and thousands of hearts beat faster, thousands of faces are wreathed in happy smiles, thousands of voices join you .. many woefully out of key but filled with joy as they rock along with you :-)

You have my attention too Meat and always will :( All I can add is thank you again for all of the amazing times we've had so far on this tour, and those that are still yet to come.
That wasn't a particularly nice way to break it to all the LOYAL AND DEDICATED fans on this forum, if that is what was being implied. Yet again, ONE negative post gets all the attention! What about all of us who have been supporting Meat for decades? Do we even exist???
:wtf: When I logged in today and saw "68 new posts" I thought something interesting had happened. But no, it's the same quarrelling and the same silly games as usual. :angry: What has become of this place??? I'm abandoning all hope. Nothing will change, it will only get worse, I guess.
On the bottom of the article it says : FANS WILL LOVE THIS !!!!! And I...have faith in that !!! So Meat : I believe it was worth the long wait for us !! ;D

Meat, what do you mean ? :( Don't stop because someone has negative comments...there are many people like me who appreciate your work very much. I know that you love what you're doing and you do it with passion... If you decide to quit one day i'll respect your decision but when that happens...honestly...I will miss you !!! And...you will never ever be forgotten, never !!!! I could never forget you !! Love you !! XX

yep !! same old stuff. I can get insulted all over the internet , but I just come here when I need a good insult. So it will really hurt my feelings . You have to go to a place where it says Fan Club for it to hurt like it should. I always know some one will have a good one here. Let me say this to all who say positive things I really thank you, you don't go unnoticed . Hope I can always live up to
your expectations , I will give you everything I have to give. Again, Thank you very much.

This means a lot to read. At least we don't go unnoticed. I was hoping some of the positive comments would offset the negative enough to help keep you here and actively post. It's just never watered down enough to keep your feelings from getting hurt here. It's frustrating.

Also, thanks Meat, it means a lot, I'm always behind you.

Thanks Wario for posting this :)
Well.....the review was mostly ok, but what s**t me about it was when Joe said about "The sound recording is spot on, and while at times he may struggle to the hit the notes". Struggle to hit the notes??? Meat sang pretty bloody well in the Hunter Valley, and concert performances aren't suppose to sound polished and note perfect. What a tosser!
Then we go to this statement "Meat Loaf is not as energetic as he once was but still holds a commanding presence". Well excuse me but Meat puts on a f***ing good show regardless of what energy he puts into it ;) For the young age of 64 he's still got it in my books :)
Otherwise the review wasn't too bad ;)
Then we'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm not one of those people who feels the need to scrutinize it or
"put it under a microscope" .... I'll simply enjoy the concert as a whole, and only comment on the DVD when
I've seen the final released version.
To be perfectly honest with you, my only wish is that The Giving Tree and Mad Mad World had been included
... hopefully they will both be released on video somewhere down the road because they have both been truly
amazing live on this tour.
Everyone has there own opinion and way of looking at things ;) If some people want to look at every aspect of the dvd and compare it to previous ones, then that is fine ;) As long as it is constructive critisism and that there is respect shown towards Meat in doing so ;)
As for "my only wish is that The Giving Tree and Mad Mad World had been included"......impossible to add something to an Australian tour dvd if the songs weren't released world wide. That is why we only had Stand in the Storm, which imo was the more appropriate song to have in the dvd ;)

I will have to give you a positive cyber kick up the ass mate lol, as to me and many many many others here you are awesome :) You truely are and will always be an inspiration to me, your music will always keep me going, and I do hope and pray that your strength, courage and enthusiasm brings you back to Australia for another tour. DON'T YOU EVER STOP ROCKING!!! Lol, a classic scene from your concert that always makes me laugh, which you may have to use on those with no respect for you is the good old middle finger and say well f**k off! ;) You don't need to hurt, and shouldn't be made to. KEEP ON ROCKING!!! :)

I've been a fan of yours for about 14 years and I have never been disappointed in any of your work, and you have quite frequentely exceeded them by a great deal. I went to one of your shows almost two years ago and I was expecting to enjoy it but I left with a 'WOW' feeling that I don't honestly believe that any other performer will manage to beat.
I've heard wonderful things about your shows this summer and what fine voice you're in and there's lots of people saying it too. :-)

I've never been disappointed in anything you've done and I know that there are 1000's of people as psyched for the DVD as I am! Just looking at your facebook page the amount of loyal fans waiting to see your shows and heap well deserved praise on you. Sadly there are people who focus on the negatives out there and even more annoyingly people tend to be more forthcoming with dislike rather than praise. We love you Meat so please don't retire yet :(
.... As long as it is constructive critisism and that there is respect shown towards Meat in doing so ;)
Sadly not everyone has the skill of doing this, so the person being criticised will understandably feel this way:

I know you notice ;) You give so much, your "all" is so much greater than so many performers. And that doesn't go unnoticed either, as you must see at the end of every show when you look out at that audience standing on its feet, cheering and willing you to never leave the stage, because you have fully lived up to all their expectations, and for many like me, somehow managed to exceed them :D Long may you have that energy and determination, because you make the world a better place for being such a vital part of it.

Meat, thank you for saying that, it means a lot. I understand why you get hurt by negative comments, I just wish that you could find a way of ignoring them; easier said than done, I know, but there is so much love for you here, if only you could focus more on that. xx

You're welcome and...Thank you too Meat, well... that's exactly the reason I don't spend much time here... :( I like it more on the Facebook fanpages...Most of the time you can find me there ! ;)
Thank you for that nice message to us on my birthday !! ;) I'm on a high and happy vibe now !! ;) You're so sweet !!! I love you !!!:-P <3
I hope to meet you again... It probably won't be soon...but... next year...hopefully...When you tour the UK again, it's difficult for me to travel to the US... :( But I'd do anything to meet you again lol ;-)) I want you to know that I still think every day about the first time I met you last february in London (England). ;D Good memories ! Don't you ever ever stop rocking !!! Love you !!! XXX <3
Not to worry, I will be out of your hair by Sept. 2013. It will be like I was never here. Just gone like a puff of smoke.
I was wondering if the move to Austin had something to do with Meat going back to his roots (sort of) to retire; looks like it might be on the cards for next year then. :(

Glad you notice the positives. Saw you in Durham in August and it was fantastic. There will always be the occasional negative comment when people express opinions, but well over 90% of what is posted here is very positive. If people were 90% + positive about me I'd take that any day. Always going to be some negatives in life. I got the impression that you were not so much reacting to the comment when you mentioned Sept. 2013 than that you had something in the works for that already.
yep !!

And this from the guy who made the statements about timing on the giving tree performance that ran Meat off the last time :facepalm: selective memory you got there.
Quite frankly Meat overreacted to my statement. One person expresses a dislike for 1, I'll say that again, 1 product, that being the DVD, and meats reaction is to announce retirement.
And your damn right I want board tapes. The MMW IMO is much better than the GP tour, and I would like to have a professional recording of it.
So in the future let us not forget our own past when scolding someone in the present, because that is just a tad hypocritical. :facepalm:

No better way to stop overanylising stuff than to just have a f*cking good time :mrgreen:
Yes ... unfortunately you can't please everybody no matter how hard you try :(
True.
Very true.
Unless you're talking about me because i'm so goddam awesome :mrgreen:
It is a worldwide DVD release. Good, bad, or indifferent you have to know going into it that people are going to scrutinize it and "put it under a microscope" its just human nature.
True.
Some people will do that.
But it doesn't mean they should
See my earlier comment regarding beer and rock n roll.
We call this concept "Fun" :mrgreen: (<-----this guys getting quite the outing this post).
it is just honest opinions and there isn't anything wrong with that.
Again, true.
We are here for honest opinion posted in a respectful manner.
OK "sounds far from perfect" isn't the nicest thing you could say, but i'll lay whatever odds anyone wants to throw down that it's nowhere near the worst thing he's had said to him in the last 35 years.
Is it? It may be human nature for a minority but the majority of people who'll buy it will like it or dislike it as a whole DVD.
Quoted for truth.
Again, if you listen to it for the purposes of "Fun" you'll have a great time, i'm sure.
Listen to it as some sort of homework project and the fun sort of flies away.
Get tanked and sing along :cheers: (I should have been in advertising :bleh: )
I agree. The members of this forum don't imo exactly represent Meat's wider fanbase but are a minority in themselves,
And the vast majority of our minority have been nothing but positive.
Who could ask for anything more without the building of a gulag? :shrug:

One person on this thread has said something you don't like so you slate the fanclub? :wtf:
That's not exactly fair Meat.
That's like blaming all English people because Piers Morgan is an asshole. :wtf:
See the comment above about not pleasing everyone.
It's TRUE.
Come on, you know this by now Meat.
I can't believe this is the same guy who stood on a sidewalk in New York shouting "F*CK YOU CLIVE".
If you see the odd comment that isn't positive here it's because you are not god, you are not perfect, and not everyone will be pleased by every single thing you do.
But if I had your overall approval rating.......... :faint:
Also consider that your fans are those most likely to know you best, and expect the best. Sometimes standards can be unrealistic.
And one final thing to consider.
People know your work here, so you might not be criticised anywhere else like you are here (which I personally don't believe) but you also don't have such an outporing or love, support, and affection either many other places either.
You know this yourself because you wrote.................
Let me say this to all who say positive things I really thank you, you don't go unnoticed . Hope I can always live up to
your expectations , I will give you everything I have to give. Again, Thank you very much.

You always live up to mine, and I thank you.
:( It's all about respect .. which IMO is truly lacking around here.
This is my point, Vivki. It really really really isn't lacking.
Read this thread again and see how upset and supportive of Meat people are.
It's just never watered down enough to keep your feelings from getting hurt here. It's frustrating.
If the ammount of positive comments are not enough to water down the minority of negative opinions, then we're going to need a bigger boat.
I think the positive comments outweigh the insults, and I believe you do too,
Yes :up:
but I also understand that it's the insults that hit home and hurt. They would to most of us imo.
I understand this. It's not nice being criticised. But anyone who stands on a stage will get it. Even within their own fanbase. But the love always outways the negative opinion.
well over 90% of what is posted here is very positive. If people were 90% + positive about me I'd take that any day.
If I ever get approval like that i'll fly you all in for my opening night at Wembley :wink:

You said "We are here for honest opinion posted in a respectful manner. OK "sounds far from perfect" isn't the nicest thing you could say, but i'll lay whatever odds anyone wants to throw down that it's nowhere near the worst thing he's had said to him in the last 35 years." Undoubtedly Mouse, but as the performer I would feel the word "screaming" a pretty insulting comment, and as me consider it far from respectful as well as likely to provoke a reaction.
.. but you also don't have such an outporing or love, support, and affection either many other places either.
True :up::up: .. and as I said, I believe Meat knows this and values it. I also think (in no small part because of this) he's been working on NOT being guy who stood on a sidewalk in New York shouting "F*CK YOU CLIVE" when he comes here ;) :-)

*"Screaming" Mayor may not have been the best choice of words for the matter. But when I listen to the clip of hot patootie that's what I feel it sounds like. And what I have said on this thread being labeled as right or wrong does not change how I feel about the product. Simply expressing what I feel about this product and this product only

Which is ok, it's the continually expressing your feelings about this product despite you saying you weren't going to say anything else that's beginning to grate on me.

Well the reason that I have done that is because several people have addressed me directly and I felt the need to respond to some of their issues. When people stop addressing me i will not have a reason to post on this thread

And this from the guy who made the statements about timing on the giving tree performance that ran Meat off the last time :facepalm: selective memory you got there.
Quite frankly Meat overreacted to my statement. One person expresses a dislike for 1, I'll say that again, 1 product, that being the DVD, and meats reaction is to announce retirement.
And your damn right I want board tapes. The MMW IMO is much better than the GP tour, and I would like to have a professional recording of it.
So in the future let us not forget our own past when scolding someone in the present, because that is just a tad hypocritical. :facepalm:
Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner
Actually you want to get your facts straight. Fact is I made a mistake and apologised for it, which I don't see you doing so it's completely different.
Plus also Meat didn't run off because of me. He ran off because of the stick he had taken from so many other members, it just so happened my mistake was there to be used at the time as an example why he was leaving. You know how I know this? Meat and I spoke via PM and settled it.
So you are completely and utterly wrong in both regards, plus you slate Meats vocals on songs as being terrible, and then ask him for something.

There is a difference between personal opinion and attacking someone.
Any more will earn the poster a few points and get the thread locked.
In fact, let's put a stop to this whole game of Who Shot John and get back to the subject of the DVD and the review.

Meat, I dont want you to be out of my hair this time next year. I really dont. You have made an awesome collection of albums in my car. I truly, truly hope you continue to do what you do but I want you to be happy doing it. If you're not happy doing it then you do what you feel is right of course.
I am sorry to everyone, including Meat Loaf, for my original comment which has spurred on all the negativity and arguing that Meat has had to read.

Ollie you have nothing to apologise for, absolutely nothing. Why should you apologise for a positive good comment? Yes there have been arguments but that is not to do with you. You have nothing to apologise for. I too am super excited about this DVD, only 7 days to go! And it does sound great! I can't wait to get my surround sound on!

On iTunes, they have a minute and a half previews of each song. Hot patootie begins at the first verse and ends at the end of the second chorus. The clearest example of what I'm talking about is when you go into "hop in the backseat, really had a good time"
I will probably get lambasted for saying this, but it sounds like more of a yell than a note, To the point that by the time you hit the word time, it sounds like your voice cracks On that word both times.
In my opinion, the version of hot patootie that was released alongside the "if I can't have you" single was a much stronger version of the song, Featuring a much stronger vocal performance than what I am hearing from the guilty pleasure offering.
I apologize if I offended you with what I said, I was simply trying to say what I thought about that particular song

I referred to the overall discussion culture on this forum, the tendency to play the blame game and to make each other feel guilty. I'm tired of it. Apparently it's not about music and exchanging ideas anymore, it seems to be more about egos.
Sorry if you don't like this post but that's how I have been feeling about this forum for quite a while now.
He is great.. I had never heard him before, sorry for my ignorance. But when he sings at the beginning, from about 2:20 to 3:30, tears came to my eyes, because I could feel the pain he was singing about.
Meat, you have exceeded my expectations every time I've seen you. And that's a lot of times. There's always a surprise, always something new that thrills me or takes my breath away or makes me cry. You always make me laugh, too :)
That young guy in Bossier City was right (it's funny how this has come to mind a bunch of times since then) when he said "Once in a lifetime!!" because that's what your shows are! Each and every one is a once in a lifetime experience.

That's what I have also been thinking, Jenna. After what Meat said earlier about being out of our hair in September 2013, it makes it seem even more likely that he is about to announce his retirement from the music business. Then there's the recent move back to his home state of Texas to consider. I, for one, am going to be GUTTED if this is the case. :(
Although, of course, the guy HAS to retire sometime! Was just hoping it wasn't going to be just yet.

Well of course I couldn't say for sure what the worst thing to go through is but trust me i've been through plenty of traumas. Some women say childbirth is the worst but spare a thought for us men who are so dedicated and supportive that we will go through that trauma with them every step of the way, even if it leaves us mentally scarred for life. There's a lot to be said for mental pain and anguish and trauma being worse than physical pain, because the body heals, the mind doesn't always. Anyway that's a different discussion.

:twisted:Childbirth is proof that women know nothing of pain :nope:
You ask a woman who has a baby if she wants another one, a lot of them will say "well, a little further down the line I think it'd be nice to have another".
You kick a bloke in the bollocks and asks if he's like to have er one, and the answer will be a very deffinate NO! :shock:
He certainly won't say "well, a little further down the line I think it'd be nice to have another". :lol:

You ask a woman who has a baby if she wants another one, a lot of them will say "well, a little further down the line I think it'd be nice to have another".
No .. it just shows our tolerance for it is greater ;) Be grateful your mother had this .. and that your father didn't get kicked dangerously hard in the bollocks once too often ;)
i'm looking forward to it being released, but I agree with Caryl that it's hardly something i'm "kid at Christmas, hopping up and down, can't live another moment without it" hyped up over.
I learned long ago that Christmas doesn't get any better for agonising over its arrival ;) I'm really looking forward to getting the DVD, but have plenty to occupy me until it arrives :-)

You kick a bloke in the bollocks and asks if he's like to have er one, and the answer will be a very deffinate NO! :shock:
He certainly won't say "well, a little further down the line I think it'd be nice to have another". :lol:

Lol i'm not going to go down this road, except to say that no one can say one thing is worse than other things unless they have experienced them all.
Lol i'm not going to go down this road, except to say that no one can say one thing is worse than other things unless they have experienced them all.
I agree, which is why I didn't compare two which I hadn't experienced ;) I have, however, experienced both pregnancy/childbirth and waiting for a DVD .. and waiting for a DVD is easier ;)
But if Mouse considers that women know nothing of pain because they are prepared to endure childbirth more than once, even without having a couple of balls to be kicked, I believe I am sufficiently knowledgable to say that it suggests we must have a greater tolerance ;)

put up the link.... not on US , UK or Austrailia
On iTunes, they have a minute and a half previews of each song. Hot patootie begins at the first verse and ends at the end of the second chorus. The clearest example of what I'm talking about is when you go into "hop in the backseat, really had a good time"
I will probably get lambasted for saying this, but it sounds like more of a yell than a note, To the point that by the time you hit the word time, it sounds like your voice cracks On that word both times.
In my opinion, the version of hot patootie that was released alongside the "if I can't have you" single was a much stronger version of the song, Featuring a much stronger vocal performance than what I am hearing from the guilty pleasure offering.
I apologize if I offended you with what I said, I was simply trying to say what I thought about that particular song

I agree with this, ultimately I am a small fish in an ocean of fans. Many of those same fans will shout their undying love for this DVD from every rooftop that they can find.
Just because I don't like this one thing, doesn't mean I'm still not a big fan, just means I won't be buying this particular release. As I said earlier, if I offended you, I apologize. Onward and upward

Yeah it matters because of the way it was expressed. If he'd just said, i'm sorry but I didn't like it that much, or sorry but i didn't really like the vocals that's a fair view. But to go further and slate the vocals as 'terrible' and saying Meat is 'yelling' instead of singing, knowing full well Meat is going to read it, is disrespectful and hurtful to feelings. I know it's a small difference but it's a difference all the same. And so we're back to the same old thing it's not what you say but it's how you say it. Can I just ask does anyone actually even read the lines in bold red at the top of the page?

I've just checked my Amazon account and mine has not even been dispatched yet meaning that I won't get it until at least Wednesday.
I'm rather annoyed about this. I pre-ordered this because I wanted it on the day of release and when I've ordered from other retailers, I've usually recieved the item on release day, if not before. I may as well have not bothered pre-ordering at all and with this being the second time Amazon have done this I won't be pre-ordering anything from them again.

Watching it through, my overwhelming thought is that it feels like being at a Meat Loaf concert - IMO this is the first of Meat's live releases to replicate that feeling of being there. The lighting and the sound mix are the difference in doing this, and are both are truly great.
Thanks Meat for another top notch release to add to the ol' collection. It was well worth the wait.

It does make me wonder why some people who ordered from them have had their orders dispatched and others are having to wait?
I phoned my local HMV to see if they would be getting it there but the girl I spoke to said she couldn't find it on the system. However someone on another group said that HMV were reserving a copy for him so I'm going to pop in to the store on my way to work and see if I can speak to someone who might know something different. If I can get it from HMV on Monday then I can cancel my order through Amazon.

And how do you plan on doing that? LOL
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 ;) Just with the added bonus no-one will be singing flat in your ear, or shoving you out of the way to grab a flying pick :lol:
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
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 :)

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 :D x

I'm aware that some think I'm a joke with my antipathy towards bootlegs/pirate copies .. but when I think of the effort, planning, work and care that Meat and others have put into this DVD, that there is a torrent people can grab for nothing as far as the performer is concerned before even today's release date, it simply reinforces my view. The world HAS gone to hell in a handbasket of entitlement in my view :(
Was this a bootleg computer file?
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.

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?

Mark had posted here on Friday that he wasn't going to buy the DVD, and today that he had watched it on his computer. Rather than make an assumption I simply asked the question, because bootlegs seem usually not to be great quality, and I was and am dismayed if it has been bootlegged onto the net even before its release date.

I do not feel it is legitimate to basically imply that someone has done something that you yourself have called theft, just MHO. It is basically saying so did you steal that? Legitimate - maybe, tacky IMO yes.
I implied nothing. I asked, and have explained why I asked. Yes, I consider bootlegs theft, many on here don't.
The question was imo legitimate and not "tacky" given the information I could see .. ie a post saying he would not be buying it, which was actually made on Saturday rather than Friday.

Sometimes people, myself included, embellish and or fib when they are writing while in a huff. An truthfully it's not a big deal that you or anyone else asked the question. I'm over it, and I confess my sins as such.

Okay, I am just going to speak from wisdom here because I have seen this go down time after time... The super duper hard core fans from around the world will all jump the bandwagon and purchase from the UK retailers. The sales will slump around the rest of the world, and the record company will see sagging sales elsewhere and this will affect future product from Meat Loaf. It is simple economics here.

Thanks Meat for another top notch release to add to the ol' collection. It was well worth the wait.

Mark, Go back and listen to the original melody of Hot Patooie it does not go up the line you thought was yelling I went for something and didn't make it. so it was spoken . I was testing my high end always do on the 1st song . I do now on Red light. Just to know where my voice is for the rest of the show. I couldn't hit it that night, so it was spoken or as you put it screamed but there are really great singing moments on this DVD , not everything is perfect but some parts are great.

I'm looking forward to the post man tomorrow it's going to be so exiting to put the DVD on!
Can I say again, it is amazing to get the first-hand input from Meat himself on this forum?

Meat, any idea on the mysterious constantly shifting US release dates? According to Amazon USA they are now up to Thanksgiving. I switched my order to Amazon.UK at twice the price to get it mid-October. I want to go on a rant about the distributor, but maybe there is a reason.

What I have learn't is that the artist has little input to the distribution or price of their product.

There was never going to be a CD, but they threw it in at the last moment... They had the right in the contract as bonus material. They could not sell it as a CD. If we would have known in time, there were things Paul and I would have changed . It is what it is . I do wish We had control over everything thing, but we don't. No Jim and I never got paid for Bat, well some but not what we are owed , not even close , they owe us over 20 million dollars.

I agree, but such is the woes of having multiple staggered release dates. Especially when they were initially touting a single, simultaneous world wide release

As well as this being yet another 6 week delay on the US release which puts it shipping Thanksgiving time and will no doubt delay shipping time due to the holiday and Christmas shopping. I wonder if they think a holiday season release is going to sell more? I can say they have frustrated the hell out of a willing and waiting customer. At least I should get it mid-October rather than late November since it is region free and I can get it from the UK.

Yes, they had a deal in the US but it fell through. They are making separate deals in each country. Because Sony US blew HIAHB so bad they are having Problems. If they keep having so many problems in the US I'm going to call Rob Cavallo.

I do fight for the Price of tickets for Live shows, it Depends on what the union contract is at different venues. I can keep prices down when the Union does not charge for 12 people to plug in an amp. !!

That makes sense, and after listening to it several times, i feel like you had found your stride towards the end of the song because the last for high lines are nailed quite well.
An aside, I have to say that peace on earth is about as perfect as you can get. Spectacular performance of that song
