DVD - Got it! - Page 2

Well, Vicki

I have watched it the entire weekend. Over and over again. its amazing. The performance is outstanding. I wish to thank the director. He did a great job. Meat has a lot of energy and still got power.
favorite performances at this stage is Out of the frying pan. The monologue in the end is typicle Meat and is 100% perfectly done. As i said, the director did a great job. he has "an eye" for detail.

Well, only one thing i would have done different: instead of All revved up I would like to see heaven can Wait instead, because the version on the cd is brilliant.

Excellent

I couldn't agree more !
I'm hooked on Out Of The Frying Pan too now.

I really enjoy All Revved Up on the DVD .... but you're absolutely right about Heaven Can Wait. It's brilliant on the CD, and would have been amazing to see him sing it live.

The fact that \\"Heaven Can Wait\\" isn't on the DVD is logically explained by the fact that it wasn't played on the 20th or the 22nd.

Regardless it was a great way to bring some of the community into the show, do something a bit more than the more usual, and I bet the men did and will enjoy them thoroughly.

The boy's choir was darling. Too cute, and Meat was too.

I get that emotional rest thought btw.

Wasn't the MSO concerts for 4 days but they only did the camera work for 2 of the concerts??? Which would explain why Heaven Can wait wasn't on the DVD but on the CD. They probably took the CD direct from the soundboards.

XPattiRussoX · 18 Oct 2004, 23:51

ok, so i got my dvd today as soon as the shop& opened, lol. and have been watching it ever since. i thought at the start it would ruin my memories of the concerts i went to this year but it didnt. Patti was rocking on it as usual, but on the commentary i think meat kinda talked about cc too much which i have to comment on because im biased. i thought the mso were good, and their input wasnt too over the top and prominent to take it away from the origianal sound of the music. u have too watch it in order like i did. the back stage thing, then the concert, then the concert with commentary. Could not believe it when MEAT CONFIRMED A TOUR FOR BAT 3 HOW WICKED COOL. then i got into fan mode thinking whne it would be, id have to save money. have to ring up 4 tickets wicked early, will it be the same band cos thats very important, but then meat said the present never land express is the best rocking band in the world and all of them will be back. see how u think that this dvd was the ur last taste of meat on tour, and then u get the best news since the last tour release dates. Ne way gone on for abit. so will just say ROCK ON MEAT LOAF AND THE NEVERLAND EXPRESS. THAT ROCKED

AndrewG · 18 Oct 2004, 23:56

Just listening to the CD. and I can only say:

WOW!!

Really over the top-incredible-rock and roll-orchestra-motorcycle-guitar music!!!

The best rendition of Bat out of Hell ever if you ask me!
I also think couldnt have said it better sounds incredible!

The free DVD was a great treat.

Cant wait to get the dvd set. hopefully play.com will get it to me quickly!

Thanks so very much Meat Loaf!! You are still a rocking legend and always will be!

One Last Trip · 19 Oct 2004, 00:23

XPattiRussoX · 19 Oct 2004, 00:40

Then maybe they recorded it at a soundcheck or a rehersal with the orchestra

Hi Rosie !

I had the same problem .. and figured out that I had gotten a fingerprint on the back of the DVD

Once I wiped it off with a light cloth it worked fine.

Have you tried cleaning the back of the DVD first ?
Just a suggestion before you send it back to Amazon.
Good luck !

I completely agree Di - what came across was that everyone was having so much FUN! And I'm so pleased that Meat was 'on song' too - what a triumph...

Sapphire Lady · 19 Oct 2004, 11:06

Got mine yesterday from HMV. It really rocks.

LP · 19 Oct 2004, 11:17

Love it!

The best live effort he has ever released, there is so much to watch and hear!!

He really comes alive during Frying Pan, amazing vocals and a great version of this song.

I'm also just happy to finally see some of the stage antics we all know and love on a DVD

Luke

irishguy · 19 Oct 2004, 11:33

That point is adressed in Meat's commentary track. so no spoilers from me.

DIZZY DRUMMER · 19 Oct 2004, 12:32
