wipeeee

Just got mine today in the post from Amazon - great it is - all live songs recorded in New York in 1993 exept, For Crying Out Loud, that was recorded in 1994 in USA.

Great 3 Disc set

!

Several mistakes in the booklet (as mentioned), and whats with the re-typing of the ML logo and "BOOH II" etc on the front? It's a bit off centre....anyways, the live CD is really great! Awesome mental version of BAT on there! All Revved Up is pretty different to how I've heard it done before. The DVD is pretty nice, and the old interviews with Meat and Jim are cool.

ITS AMAZZZZZING!

**RadioMaster** · 28 Nov 2006, 16:58

congrats!

what exactly is on the DVD and how long is it?
Shame that it´s not released here

Think I have to get it shipped from the UK

L_Loaf · 28 Nov 2006, 17:20

DVD -
Back Into Hell : Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman Interview.
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Wont Do That)
Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through
Objects In The Rear View Mirror

:)

DazLoaf01 · 28 Nov 2006, 17:21

The DVD contains:

Back Into Hell - Interview with Meat and Jim (about 9 1/2 mins)
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - music video
Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through - music video
Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are - music video

It all lasts about 33 mins I think.

**RadioMaster** · 28 Nov 2006, 17:29

cool I want it!

vrg · 28 Nov 2006, 18:41

Can you tell if the DVD is playable in the USA? If so, I shall once again use Amazon.uk for a Bat order; got Bat3 limited edition that way.

If you mean on a DVD player connected to a TV, then yes if the player is "Multi-Region". Most players can be made multi-region by going through some weird process of hitting the right buttons on the remote control and turning the machine off and on at the right point. Just google for "multi region hack" and the model number of the player to find out how.

If you mean on a PC, you can switch the DVD drive from region 1 (USA/Canada) to region 2 (Europe) to play the DVD, then switch back afterwards. The DVD playback software will prompt you to do it. HOWEVER you are limited usually to 5 region changes and after that you're stuck. If you end up in (say) region 2 and almost all of your DVDs are region 1, you may regard this as sub-optimal ...

... so what I recommend instead is purchasing some software that allows you to play DVDs from any region without using up your 5 changeovers. I use "DVD Region Free Lite" which works quite nicely, but there are others.

the live songs are fantastic!!

**RadioMaster** · 28 Nov 2006, 22:35

do the original songs sound any different from the original version?

duke knooby · 28 Nov 2006, 22:42

dunno, went straight to the live disc, did i mention its amazing??

lorenzoduke · 01 Dec 2006, 13:18

Some of the live tracks are clearly from the MSO DVD

For Crying Out Loud
Two Out Of Three
Life Is A Lemon
Out Of The Frying Pan

And maybe more....thought it was supposed to be the NYC 1993 concert?

have we got the same album?

Says in the credits all tracks recorded 1993 apart from FCOL which was 1994 and there's definately no orchestra playing. I haven't got live versions at all of Lemon and Frying Pan on mine

No. You're wrong.
there isn't songs from MSO. Only from '93.

And.... I thought would be the live songs of the Bat II picture show.
But it's awesome!!

Odd! I had to get it on ITunes - it is Bat II and it is released November 27th 2006....if you have ITunes, go to the Nederlands store, and search for it. You can play 30 second clips of the songs, and some of them are 100% definitely from the DVD.

Guess the ITunes must be a different version! To the record store I go...

**RadioMaster** · 06 Dec 2006, 17:44

bought it yesterday, it´s really a good buy!
It´s a digipak with a transparent slipcase.

If I´m not wrong, the stereo channels sound a bit different to the original and the instruments are more clear IMO.

The live CD is great too, very good version of BOOH, faster than most of the other versions. The live cd alone would be worth the price.

Good to have the bat2 videos finally on DVD

Only thing I wondered about was that the DVD with videos and interviews was PG14!

*AndyK* · 06 Dec 2006, 17:47

Hmmm didn't notice that the DVD in the copy I got was rated ... have to check that! Great having the video's in such perfect quality though isn't it? The re-issue of Bat II and the recent shows have really made me fall in love with Objects again as a song.

Haven't got round to listening to the actual Bat II album yet, so can't comment on if it sounds any better, but the live versions fo the songs sound superb to me too.

Vickip · 06 Dec 2006, 17:51

Excellent ! I got my copy yesterday and haven't had a chance to check it out yet

Now I'm really looking forward to watching the videos.

Thanks
Vicki

**RadioMaster** · 06 Dec 2006, 17:52

Not entirely sure if the UK version is rated too, but my copy got the German rating system FSK 14, think that might be specific for every country.

Still wondered though 'cause I cant really understand it.

PS: listening to all revved up atm, REALLY a great version! very different from the other versions I know, much storytelling in it.
