MEAT LOAF- THE GUILTY PLEASURE TOUR:
New DVD, due on October 23, Captures The Ultimate Meatloaf Concert Experience At Sold Out Australian Arena Show

Concert-One TV, the innovative UK-based production company has announced it will release Meat Loaf - The Guilty Pleasure Tour DVD, which was captured during the singer's recent sold-out Australian Tour. Featuring a blend of classic Meat Loaf hits and material from his last few albums, The Guilty Pleasure Tour DVD will give fans the definitive bird's eye view of the legendary singer during one of his most memorable performances. Released worldwide on October 23, the DVD will include a bonus documentary on Meat Loaf in Australia which includes a brand new in depth interview with the man himself. "What was captured on tape at this sell out concert was the 'true live' Meat Loaf experience," says Concert-One President, Steve Timmins. "He really does put 110% into his shows and this one captures his HUGE performance, backed by his brilliant band, The Neverland Express."

The Guilty Pleasure Tour DVD presents the most technologically advanced filming of a Meat Loaf concert ever captured. Utilizing 15 Hi-Def cameras, including 2 cranes and a dolly to capture the movement and energy, as well as stationary and remote cameras placed around the venue and onstage, the viewer will experience the performance almost as if they were on the stage themselves. "The viewer gets to see what he or she would normally never see from being in the audience," says Meat Loaf, who took a proactive involvement during the planning, filming and post-production of the video. "(They see) the hands, the fingers, the facial expressions, the intensities; those kinds of things. That is what we were going for, to make the DVD different than the live show. The viewer gets to live in a different world."
The show was shot at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia, during a completely sold-out 10,000 seat arena on the singer's 2012 tour. DVD producer, Lyn Beardsall says: "The venue was great for filming. It had good access for us, and it was sold out, so we were guaranteed an enthusiastic Australian crowd. Meat Loaf was involved in every aspect of the video including the edit and 5.1 surround sound mixing. He also insisted we use a director he had worked with in the past, Paul (PR) Jones."
Adds Beardsall: "Paul had worked with Meat Loaf on a number of occasions and knew exactly what he was looking for. He wanted a lot of movement as the show is high energy and he wanted to capture that energy. No matter what you're doing- whether you are onstage or doing a scene in a TV show or movie or singing a song, there is different techniques- but it all comes down to one thing- finding the truth in the moment."
Born Marvin Lee Aday in Texas, Meat Loaf exploded on international music scene in 1977, with the release of his icon debut thematic album, Bat Out Of Hell, written by friend and colleague, Jim Steinman. Among the albums to define the arena rock genre, it has sold to date over 43 million copies, making it the fifth highest selling album of all time. He went on to have several more gold and platinum successes with Dead Ringer (1981), Bad Attitude (1984) and the Bat Out Of Hell sequels Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell (1993) and Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose (2006).
In 2010, he released Hang Cool Teddy Bear, followed by this year's Hell In A Hand Basket. He has also starred in several dozen Hollywood films, including the legendary Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Fight Club, where he acted opposite Brad Pitt.
Meat Loaf has released several popular DVD titles prior to The Guilty Pleasure Tour. They include: Bat Out Of Hell - The Original Tour; Bat 3 Live; and Live With The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Says Concert One's Steve Timmins: "On The Guilty Pleasure Tour DVD Meat Loaf gives his fans exactly what they are wanting to see. He knows what he wants and has had a lot of experience in front of a camera so knows exactly what works."
Adds Meat Loaf: "I only know one way. And that is: you either walk out on stage and give 110%, or you don't. Those people that bought those tickets are more important than I am. They are the most important people in the world. They bought that ticket. What matters is what is going on in that audience and making sure they are getting what they paid for."

5.1 surround sound... cool :)

What's the point using all these super high technology advanced super hi def super cameras if you are only going to release the damn thing in SD, 15 year old video technology?!

There should have been a Blu Ray release.

Even the sound quality will suffer on DVD because of compression.
It's almost akin to releasing MSO in VHS in 2004 and then boasting about the technology that has been used to film it.

Oh well....

Damn I left out Mad Mad World :oops:

I always find this sort of promotion funny. "Let's take a random song he performed and present it as if it was a massive hit." I think you're looking for I'd Do Anything For Love or Rock and Roll Dreams :lol:

Yes but "Living on the outside" was not a massive hit, it was a classic hit according to that promotion, which according to Wiki makes even less sense given the fact it was a very recently released song.

I've listened to the previews numerous times and I think Meat sounds quite good. Patti's voice is a beautiful accompaniment. The only thing I'm not digging in the songs is violin,which sounds adult contemporary while the rest of the music is rock.

I love the vocal mix with strong vocals by Meat and strong backing vocals by Patti & co. Backing vocals are an important part of Steinman's music/Meat's show. I thought the backing vocals were mixed too low on the Casa live cd--it didn't sound like the Casa show I saw. The Guilty Pleasure vocal mix sounds just like the Hang Cool shows I saw. Nice job!

Just got around to listening to this. The band still sounds excellent, but Meat's vocals aren't as good as on the songs from the PNC show released last year. :whistle:

and like 90% of the HC Tour shows....it makes me wonder why they are releasing the Australian tour when we know Meat had the bleeding vocal cord, and basically never fully recovered during that tour.....Plus dry weather, and a really terrible attitude from some of his fans and the press that I think just transferred into bad energy for Meat.....I wish they would have released one from the Hang Cool Tour instead, it would have shown the world how effing amazing Meat still is. (ie) you wouldn't get a review of the DVD saying he has "less energy now" because most of the hang cool bootlegs I have show more energy than the MSO DVD.

A dvd of the Hang Cool tour from the UK would have been mind-blowing. Meat was in top form and the setlist included Song of Madness and Dead Ringer. The show was so hard rockin'. The classical violin detracts from the rock sound, imo. Not sure why it was added.

I am really glad I got to see the Hang Cool tour and Mad, Mad World tour and see Meat at the top of his game. Hopefully he will film a future show down the road.

A DVD filmed over two nights in the UK at the MEN or the O2 Arena, with a selection of greatest hits and a couple of HIAH songs in the first half and the whole of Bat Out Of Hell in the second would do me nicely. :twisted:

Yup they so were, got to see them both too thankfully.

wait till u see the DVD people!!!

I love that he decided to film the Ozzie show. Violin rocks, Meat sound BETTER then the PNC stuff imo, and I was at the PNC show.

I think this is gonna be teh greatest thing ever. and dont forget that we are getting boardtapes too! maybe they encompass the best shows of the Hang Cool, GP, and MMW tour thus far.

I just hope that somewhere down the road we get to see a 2010 Hang Cool registration (a tv concert?). That tour was too good not to get some sort of video release.

There were probably numerous plans made in advance that could not easily be changed. It still sounds good enough.

yeah very true, and it definitely does still sound excellent. Its going to be much better than 3 Bats and that is a very good step in the right direction :D

Agree 100%. Some people are never happy.

I'm super happy about this dvd. Just because I feel like discussing what may have been a better show (at a better time when Meat wasn't hurtin) to release does not mean I'm not perfectly content with this DVD release. Meat's performances are all excellent, and I'll be very happy to see this one.....I'm suggesting the energy may not be as fantastic as the US/UK shows, but it will still be great and I'm really looking forward to it :)

Exactly. Be happy for what you have, and don't worry about what you don't have ;)
We asked Meat for a DVD of the HCTB tour ...... he filmed one, he's going to make sure he's happy with it,
and IMO it's going to be amazing :))

I don't think it's just that. Some people can but dream surely? ;-)

Personally I would have loved a release from the Wembley show in 2010 as I really thought that was Meat's best I've seen since RAH but then a lot of others who saw multiple shows on that UK tour said he was better in other places. To me personally Meat ~~~~ing rocked the house down at Wembley and he seems to do that perfectly when things come together and he is happy himself. I'm not saying the Ozzie show is bad or a waste of time, far from it, just think that from a personal experience it looked like London 2010 was better as he seemed more in control of everything.

I still love the violin.

But in the end a critical person will enjoy a GREAT product better than a person who is happy with everything... ;)
