Meat Loaf: 3 Bats - Live [Blu-ray]

Totally awesome to be honest, I love watching this again and again. In fact I have watched this so many times I have had to buy this again due to the disc being scratched.I read the incredibly detailed review below and most I agree with the singing from Meat Loaf is awesome, he may not hit every single note (which is something people have been moaning about) but the bloke is 60! If fans can sing Meat Loaf songs any where near as good as Meat Loaf did in his prime then moan, however I highly doubt that!For the sake of clarity as I have read this a few times now, with the whole "Aspen Miller replacing Patti Russo" yes technically Aspen replaced Patti, however not in the sense that so called "fans" seem to be implying. See had these fans bothered to do their research properly (via TV spots and interviews from Meat Loaf himself) they would have actually discovered that Patti left before the 3 Bats Live Tour in order to pursue her solo career, which is why she had to be replaced! Meat Loaf actually said before the tour that Patti had left to do her own thing!However come Casa De Carne (translated to "House of Meat") annoyingly this has not been released on DVD yet this followed the 3 Bats Live Tour, it's not official but with my understand due to the 3 Bats Live Tour being such a massive hit, Meat had an encore tour, however due to a cyst on his vocal chords he was unable to finish. So with what I understand (not officially stated) Meat Loaf done the Casa De Carne tour as a kind of replacement, anyone who went to that (me being on of these people) would have noticed something. The fact that Patti returned! Aspen was no longer with Meat Loaf but Patti Russo was back with Meat Loaf Rockin' it up.If you are a true die hard Meat Loaf fan (much like myself) you will love this show, if you wish to listen singing every song exactly perfectly simply stick on his album, it's why you got it. If you wish for pure entertainment and to watch Meat Loaf put every ounce of his being into a performance in order to rock your world then watch this DVD, yes sometimes Meat Loaf relies on a backing track to help him but now-a-days most people tend to mime everything so to see Meat Loaf putting all his effort into actually singing at the age of 60 is still awesome.This was the first tour I ever saw of Meat Loaf and I loved every single second of it, I bought the normal 2 disc version, the found the special edition (the cardboard box one) the special edition I never watch as that's just for show. The one I watch I have watched so many times I have had to buy again due to certain parts of the disc being serious scratched. All three copies I have are all DVD versions, however now I am purchasing a PS3 so now I shall be buying this again but on Blu-ray. That's how awesome this is.

When i had seen reviews of this DVD, especially the ones concerning meat loafs voice, i was a little weary but ordered it anyway and i was not disappointed! its true to say that meat loafs voice isn't as up to scratch as it was 30 years ago but the man still knows how to put on a show and can still sin all hits hits as only meat loaf can. The first 2 songs he is a little out of time with the music but if you purchase the DVD don't give up after these songs because it gets a lot better. The documentary in search of paradise is also excellent and shows meat loaf for the hard working performer that he is.

Having seen the concert in London it is great to have a reminder of a fantastic concert. I was going to see him again but he cancelled! Almost the full concert, the vocals are great from Meat and the girls. I think Aspen Miller sounds and looks great and hams it up superbly in the set pieces! and as for CC....wow, everyone's girl next door....not! Can't recommend this DVD more for Meatloaf fans. Turn the lights down, turn the sound up and enjoy two hours of great music and stage show....

So I loved watching and listening to each of the songs on both the dvd and the cd, and I also enjoyed the documentary. I like the poster and the program that comes with it is cool, a brief description of the Neverland Express and the cool looking sticker. But the pick that comes with this edition is missing, and when I inquired about it, all MusicMagpie said they could do was give me a partial refund of £1.30 which is silly because the one item that was missing should be in with the box, but it isn't and apparently they can't deliver it.

I have the Special Limited Edition version with the 2 discs. The first concert DVD is very good, although some of the songs are not complete for some reason, What is on it, is fabulous though, Meat in full throttle, what more can you ask for. The Second dvd follows Meat around while he is touring, it is very interesting, but actually it seems Meat Loaf is a very private person so you do not actually learn a great deal about him, he is obviously a perfectionist too as he cares very much what people think about the concerts. This was not cheap, but for me, worth every penny.

Not the best music video around. Would have been better to see a collection of older videos from Meatloaf.

good songsgood sound qualitybad picture qualitynot 1080 pi think its 1080 iin sound you can choose stereo or 5.1

If you listen to this concert with your ears you will be disappointed. If you listen with your heart you will be in the seventh heaven, sucked into an emotional experience with loads of excellent musicians and backing vocals and you will watch this concert over and over again enjoying fantastic songs arranged in a superb way, probably crying now and then because this is pure emotion from the beginning to then end. And that's what music is about; emotion!
