I wasn't around in the 70s, but I can imagine the album would have started with the word "Dark" and ended with the word "Moon"

On topic, I'd hope to see a DVD to go with a Bat 3 tour, I'd also like to see some of his older stuff released on DVD aswel though, especially if its got a live version of Objects on as other people have said.

Nope.

You go back to the very beginning and if it wasn't for Meat's passion and determination, there was no Bat 1.

Jim Steinman never wanted to make an album. Meat convinced him. That was the reason the album was made.

Name: NO
Weight: NO.

He got there because he wasn't scared, and he didn't care what anyone else thought.

I agree Lucy, if I'd not known Meat had recently been ill, when the MSO dvd/cd were made, I would have no idea, he was ever sick at all.. as he did an outstanding job of the project, imho.

Definitely

As long as it includes a commetary .... I really enjoy listening to Meat talk about the songs and the show. I just wish he wouldn't keep harping on about the vest

I am putting my hands up an admitting, I was wrong to criticise Meat’s vocals. I forgot about the whole collapsing on stage incident. But this should have been done years ago. Why wasn’t it?

It would have been better, at least agree with that.

Are you saying it would have been better if Meat collapsed on stage years ago?......charming I'm sure

I don't know why it wasn't done before .... maybe they never had the opportunity

But no, in my opinion, it would not have been better. So let's just agree to disagree ... and leave it at that.

I disagree with you Vickip

Ah I'm only messing around love

Everyone has there own opinion and I do respect yours

In a dutch newspaper the dvd was critized a lot (not about the vocals btw). I wrote a letter that Meat had a lot of courage to record that dvd because his tour was a real disaster. In november 2003 he was so ill, you won't believe it. if you would have seen him on stage, well it was real painfull to watch but Meat was determined and let all the shows continue till the "rock till you drop" disaster at Wembley and the surgery afterwards.
2 months later he recorded the show. Who would do that? He propably had lost all his confidence but he just did it and the vocals were great. How you can critize these vocals is beyond me. Okay the sound is not larger than life no more but still nobody can sing like he does.

LucyK! · 24 Feb 2006, 10:25

I don't think "better" is the word to use, it would have been different. I don't know about anyone else but I often find myself - subconsciously! -breaking his career into "bits" - like I'm watching Bat Out Of Hell Meat or Bat II Meat, possibly because his image and his voice have changed so much? I don't know why I do it...

So, to me, the MSO DVD is CHSIB Meat!

Well as I was about 3 when it was released, The Magic Roundabout mostly... lol

Meat was spectacular on stage in Nov 2003. The one thing Meat does best is give 100% and much more. Few people in the crowd I was in could ever have known he was that ill. His collapse was a real shock.

He does look exhausted on the DVD at the end, but the enregy and passion he puts in would always lead to that. Very wise of him to cut the shows to 1hr 45 mins.

Absolutely right. Meat's level of energy is truly amazing ... I'm always exhausted by the time the concert is over

I would much rather see him do shorter shows, have fun and stay healthy like he did during the HOTD tour this past summer

I think so, too.. actually I think it would have been wonderful if he could have performed with an orchestra back then - as long as he would have still gone ahead and released the MSO DVD when he did - I'd like to have both

...BUT - if I had to choose, I'd rather have the 2004 version! No question.

The first rounds are on the house

I want to dance my pance off too.

Anyway stay cool, and do plenty of chilling out.

Rock on brother....

PrissLoaf · 26 Feb 2006, 04:06

I

the MSO DVD and have watched it dozens of times.

Storytellers was my favorite until MSO was released, and I still think it's a fabulous show.
Two different approaches, but both wonderful showcases of the man and his music.

(I'm greedy though, and wish MSO was a multi disc set

)

Pudding · 26 Feb 2006, 04:21

What else would you want in a multi discs set, if already you've got the concert on one disc and then some funny interview type stuff on another disc?

I would love to see a 3 or 4 disc set that shows the ENTIRE UNCUT concert on night #1 and another disc for night #2. Also, the picture quality on the bonus disc is far better than it is on the actual concert disc. I know this is due to compression, so that we could have the Dolby 5.1, DTS, and commentary tracks all on the same disc, but picture quality should never be compromised in order to squeeze such extras. I'd love just 1 disc dedicated to the best picture quality possible and only the DTS track which sounds awesome! The other tracks should be released on a separate disc. I'm not sure, but I think the whole concert was shot on high definition, which means we may eventually see a re-release of these discs in the HD-DVD or Blu-Ray high definition format. Then it'll look like we're actually in the audience! I can't wait!!!

Sue K · 28 Feb 2006, 22:17

... i'd like to see a single dvd of Meat's performance of Black Betty... it could be sold through his official fan club site..or something like that..i don't care..i'd just like to have that..that's all... i thought he was really HOTcha when he did that at the concert i attended.. and i'd love to have a dvd of it to watch whenever i'd like...
