Meat Loaf Live rumoured to be released on DVD
 

A friend of mine texted told me something extraordinary:

MEAT LOAF LIVE WILL BE RELEASED TO DVD NEXT YEAR :D:D:D:D

Though I'm taking this with a pinch of salt till Official confirmation.

I trust him though, been my best friend since grade school. he said he heard about this from his employer at blockbuster.

What is Meat Loaf live in this context? It could mean anything surely? Is it a recording from one of the 1987 shows in Wembley you mean?
Why would someone from Blockbuster know about this?
We've heard bad things about grade school buddies recently.

No Meat Loaf live, the 1982 concert that was only released, and butchered, on VHS.

That I dont know.

I assume he's talking about the concert from 1982 that was released on VHS. :??:

Edit: I see Wario already responded while I was typing this. Do you know if it will be an "un-butchered" version? ;)

This doesn't make any sense after the original Bat tour release last year. Surely they would be looking at releasing something from the late 80s or preferably 90s rather than something that is similar and inferior to the DVD from last year?

Why release something new which'll cost more money to produce when they can re-release something old which is cheaper and hence earn them more profit?

Perhaps. Would have guessed most people wouldn't give a :shit: about this to be honest. I may buy it just for the complete-ist thing but it's not something I'm really going to look forward to watching with a great amount of enthusiasm. But then indeed that's probably not the point for the record company. Seems a bit late in the day to be (re)releasing the VHS stuff in my opinion.

Yeah, well if it has RAW re edited in would you get it?

Unless it gets some remastering treatment or some additional unseen content then it really won't be worth it will it?

In case it's true I suspect the DVD release won't differ much from the VHS. I doubt that the publishers are as enthusiastic as Wario.

Meh....
I'd really rather see something new. Even a DVD from the Meltdown show would be more interesting or the Brixton Academy one from '85. Just think the 1982 thing isn't really Meat at his best.
It would have to be a great deal longer than 60 minutes to be entertaining imo.

Yeah. Brixton was a great show. but they edited the intro to all revved up quite badly.

I honestly don't have such a photographic memory like you do seem to have for spotting flaws here in there in these videos. I prefer focusing on the whole thing. And if I do that I just have to conclude 85-87 Meat is far more exciting to watch than yet another early 80s thing.

Just beacuse I can spot flaws doesnt mean I didnt like it.

And for all we know we got the 1978 release last year, and possibly the 1982 concert this year.

maybe next year we will in fact get bad attitude live ;)

Maybe a Hang Cool in O2?
If tonight's show doesn't go ahead I guess it would be unlikely though. :(

Even better.

Let's not forget that Wario's school friends have wound him up over Meat Loaf before so this could be a load of :shit:. Also last years Rockpalast DVD, while an interesting curiosity hadn't really had much attention spent on the audio and video. Plus 1982 wasn't exactly the high point of Meat's performances. All that said, it's still possibly something to look forward to. :twisted:

Especially when you look at the link someone just posted on Meats facebook...

Sorry, can't get excited over what two blokes who work in a Blockbusters store say is happening next year, let me know if the guy in the chip shop who swears he's Elvis confirms it lol

You're a Hard Headed Woman ;-)

well Wikipedia seems to confirm it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_(M...11_DVD_Release

Though it is wikipedia :roll:

Well ~~~~~~ me. If that is to believed then we get the full show. Hopefully with better sound quality than the VHS rip that I'm sure most of us have on our PCs! :lol:

Aside from the rest of the songs I love the arrangement of You Took The Words from this show. :twisted:

This world gets weirder by the minute.
Some random guy in blockbuster in the USA tells some random Meat Loaf fan about a random upcoming DVD released at a random point in the future, random Meat Loaf fan posts about it on random Meat Loaf forum. Voila it is confirmed same day by record company.

Record company? Did I miss something? Thats just wikipedia. not actual confirmation.

The alterations to the page were made by Roadrunner. It seems to be legitimate. Well done you. :faint:

You sound surprised by the coincidental timing? :lmao:

lol Im a dumb ~~~~

Can someone enlighten me what Roadrunner Records might have to do with concert footage that was originally released about 30 years ago?

If it is indeed going to be put on DVD by Eagle Vision, it probably will be an interesting release. Their DVDs are usually quite good, although I think they could have done a better job with regard to to the Rockpalast concert.

It all depends how much effort they choose to put into it and if the original film has been kept somewhere safe or stored under someone's toilet cistern for 30 years. You're right, the job they did on Rockpalast was pretty poor.

I suspect part of the problem was the source material and that there wasn't much they could do about it. They could have put more effort in titles, menu, packaging, etc. though. Best Eagle Vision release I've ever bought was a 3-DVD set of Rory Gallagher's Rockpalast concerts: 10 hours of music in a well-designed digipak. I wish the Meat Loaf DVD had been equally good. But it's a nice DVD anyway.

There's a couple of bootlegs of the same concert, but performed at the Hammersmith Odeon. If they were feeling clever they could have combined the audio from that show, with the video from Rockpalast and created a much better product. Although that would probably take more effort than they wanted to spend on it, and there is always the question of who owns what. :shrug:

You watch too many Wario videos. ;) "Better" product - maybe, but not very genuine.

Note I used the word clever, something which isn't usually associated with Wario! :twisted:

Yeah that's one video of a host of 300 uploads.

I like to think I change lives with my channel :)

my vhs copy is still in good order.

I have two VHS copies of this because one of them promised Read 'Em And Weep in the set list then when I watched it, it was identical to the one I have, the only way this could be a good release would be to release the full unedited concert onto DVD with mabe an interview from that era as a bonus but as it stands I am not won over. Bad Attitude Live to DVD would make me more excited but I guess that's setting my hopes too high :roll:...

Unless Wario's theory is right and they're slowly working through whatever Meat stuff they have in chronological order. I don't think there was anything from the Midnight tour, which would mean that Bad Attitude Live could be put out in 2012. :shrug:

I've had a thought and decided to commemorate the occasion by posting it here for posterity.

Shouldn't there be an encore performance of Gimme Shelter listed on the new and improved Wikipedia page? Perhaps it's been dropped due to rights issues? Perhaps the tape ran out before Meat finished? Perhaps Meat didn't do it that night?

That said I don't really give a toss as it was mainly the band singing the song while Meat pumped his fist in the air anyway.

Well Thats missing and Come in the Night is too. The DVD is only like 93 Minutes if I added it up correctly.

Meat 82
 

I'm looking forward to this especially if the missing stuff is included. Would have been nice to get Dortmund as a double dvd, but I guess 1985 will be next

:yikes::yikes:You seem to have mistakenly typed torture instead of nice:yikes::yikes:

Believe it or not the set list at dortmund was:

American Guitar Speech
Revved up
DRFL
BOOH
2/3
Gimme Shelter

Nothing was edited out during broadcast. It was during a Festival (Rock Pop), it wasn't an actual full scale concert.

Although Dortmund '81 was a rather bad performance by Meat, the audience seemed to like it very much anyway. I watched it only once or twice but didn't he jump into the audience, too?

Some aspects of Dortmund may be torture, but I prefer the band with Davey Johnstone and I'll put up with the vocals for the guitars at the start of 2 out of 3

The middle section of Dortmund (the shorter version you can find on some sites) was shown on BBC in the UK at the time late one midweek evening, I think on OGWT (possibly live). That was the first time I'd seen him perform live and it didn't put me off seeing him on the European tour in 82. In hindsight his voice is not good, but the whole show was great and I still enjoy the old stuff

Is Dortmund where he was drunk and Two Out Of Three was awful because he was drunk ?! Saw that once and once only it was an absolutely appauling performance and I usually like everything :yikes: :shock: !!

yep :shock:

This thread made me watch the Dortmund show again. It's indeed not good but it's not "appalling" either. I like watching the band play and although Meat is in pretty bad shape, I consider his "singing" endurable for the most part. Just wondered what the heck he was doing with his fly. :?

yea that was odd...

I'm surprised they chose this concert. Wouldn't a dvd from the 90's when Meat was selling out arenas all over the world sell better? Why haven't there been any dvds of Meat's tours in the 90's?

They chose this because it's already available on VHS, so it's a darn sight cheaper for them to release, that's if it ever appears. Bad Attitude Live will be next after this one I bet.

They need to get The History of Meat Loaf Live and Hard Rock Live released on dvd.

They do indeed, but they'll cost more for the publishing rights from the TV companies I'd guess which is why we haven't seen them yet.

All three shows mentioned on this page need to get released on DVD.

I prefer Blu Ray, even though the video won't make a damn bit of difference as all of it won't have been shot in HD, the audio can really be a lot, lot, lot better from what I've noticed.

I forgot to mention the Beacon Theater concert from 95. That should be released on dvd too.

right now im glad spring is coming and i get to see a Pam Moore Paradise

Hmmm, the possibility of listening to Doreen Chanter sounding a lot, lot, lot better. :shake:

damnit she almost ruined that show

was she fired or did she just leave?

That's one reason I didn't care for the show- Pam Moore. I thought she was a weak replacement for Karla.

Amen to that!! The full show of "History" would be on my dvd player constantly. That was Meat at his best with proper lighting, sound, production, etc..

Man she was beyond awful. How did she ever get hired? She's OK singing harmony on backgrounds but should never have been allowed to sing lead.

Please no Dortmund. I think I burned my copy of the VHS I had.

There are clips from the History of ML and Hard Rock Live in this new show during the play-by-play. Did Meat have to buy the rights to include those clips in the show or how does that work?

odds are that he has got a copy of the full show as part of his private collection.

I thought her singing was amusing. :twisted:

I may be wrong, but perhaps Gimme Shelter will be included on the UK release in the same way that Johnny B Goode and River Deep were? It would be amusing just because it would piss Wario off! :twisted:

BWAHAHAHAHAAAHHAHAHAA yeah

It won't piss him off, because he won't be buying the UK release I'm sure. ;)

ummmm es I would. i bought the UK release of rockpalast. I have a multireigonal player.

Who knows there might not be any DVD release in the US or the UK. :yep:

For the fun of it he should do his old classic "Clap your hands" for the DVD. haha
