DVD Reviews of Meat Loaf - 3 Bats LiveDVD Review: Meat Loaf Can Still Turn It On ! Summary: 5 StarsI will begin by saying that I bought this DVD then read the comments by reviewers on Amazon. If I had read the reviews first, I probably wouldn't have bought it and that would have been a huge mistake.
Comments relating to singing off key or not singing in time, are inaccurate and if they were correct, this concert would have not been for me. Like many artists at live concerts, Meat Loaf interprets the songs differently to what we are used to hearing on the original studio albums. Artists do this to stop boredom setting in, I believe. Some artists like The Eagles, The Doobies etc. still perform the songs exactly the way they used to in the beginning. Meat Loaf is always in control of what he is doing and is singing the notes he wants to. If his interpretations of the songs constitute singing out of tune to some people, then that is their view and possibly a bit of an insult. We must remember that Bat III was recorded not too long before this concert was, and that album is one of his best !!! He hasn't lost anything !
The introductory number (All Revved Up) is very short and Meat Loaf actually doesn't appear at all in this - that's why it is just the intro. Some people have commented that some songs are shorter than the originals - I do not have a problem with this after seeing the DVD. Full versions of all the songs in this mighty programme would see the concert go on for another half an hour !
Nice to see CC in the show. Yes, Patti Rousso is not there, but the new female artists do a more than adequate job. They are exellent singers and are not too hard on the eye either - they are not a Patti Rousso but nor is anyone else !
The duet "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" is simply beautiful and sung with incredible feeling.
My two favourite songs off Bat III sound terrific - Blind As A Bat and Bad For Good.
It is hard to compare this to the Melbourne concert with the orchestra - both are good and both are different. Having the orchestra in Melbourne meant different arrangements for some numbers. In this concert, arrangements are closer to the album versions.
The band is exellent as always. Being a modern recording, the sound and picture quality are superb as you would expect.
The 1.5 hour documentary on the second DVD is superb, giving us a look at the build up to the recording of this concert. Even with his experience, Meat Loaf still gets nervous and stressed out.
I rate this concert highly and am thrilled to see Meat Loaf perform numbes from Bat III.
(Go back to white gum Meat Loaf, the yellow-green material on display here doesn't look quite so good).
DVD Review: BAT OUT OF HELL Summary: 5 StarsMeat Loaf - 3 Bats LiveiT IS BETTER THEN i THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. I LOVEIT
DVD Review: Good concert, but has some issues... Summary: 3 StarsI'm okay with the fact that Meat can't sing like he used to, no points deducted for that. But, I'll agree with many reviews here that say the legendary singer is "off" at times during the concert. Credit due though, he NAILS it more than he misses.
The video is awesome, shot in HD (featured/promoted recently for free on DirectTV HD) and excellently edited, by far the highpoint of this DVD. Five stars for video, all the way.
Although the audio is also five stars (great bass, crisp cymbols, everthing in between), it's the AUDIO MIX that takes all the bang out of this concert for me. The guitars are too far back in the mix, making this sound more like an 80s contemporary rock concert than classic hard-rockin' Meatloaf.
I already own the concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and I think it's much better (performance and audio mix) than 3 Bats Live, even though audio and video quality can't compare to this release.
DVD Review: Meat Rocks! Summary: 5 StarsI love Meat Loaf and this is one of two live DVD's I own. I love this one cause it has music from Bat III on it and in my opinion that is the best of the three. He is a great entertainer and just as nice and fun in real life! Don't ever Stop Meat!!!
DVD Review: Okay show. Summary: 3 StarsCaught this show recently on HD Net and thought it was just okay. It was obvious Meat was not at the top of his game. Having seen it in HD quality was rather disgusting toward the end of the show... it looked like Meat had puke in his mouth or something chewed up and not yet swallowed. What the heck was that?
