Despite the negative reviews here I give this album 5 stars. Although I do not think this live album is as good as Live Around the World, it is still great. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the sound quality of this CD. As for "flat notes" maybe there are some but none stand out as anything major. In fact, I would say it is quite the opposite. Meat Loaf was and always will be a LIVE performer and you cannot capture his stage energy in the studio. If you have not had the pleasure of seeing him live I would strongly recommend it, although as the years go on you obviously are dealing with the reality of the aging process. The song selection is not the first choice for the casual fan but I like the fact that there are songs on this album that have not appeared on his past live albums. In addition, I have never heard a version of Black Betty as awesome as this. I think all live albums should be double CDs; think about Framton Comes Alive, Kiss Alive!, Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous, any of these as a single CD would just not be the same and that is the only recommendation that I would make for this album - should have been a double CD.
After reading a review that gave this CD 1 star, I wanted to listen myself. First, this is record company crap. The songs on this CD were taken off the DVD "3 Bats Live". I don't think Meat Loaf ever intended for this to be a CD. That being said, This CD is Live live live and I dare anyone to listen to anyones real Live tapes and not hear a flat note from time to time. There is a big difference between off key and flat note. There are some great moments on this CD like the beginning of "Blind as a bat" , which sounds almost like the record. To answer the Question can Meat still sing listen to the vocal that starts "Anything For Love" and ends "Anything for Love" It is very Powerful. Granted he misses on the start of " It's all coming Back to me now" not making excuses for him but that is well over 2 hours into a show singing songs that are not your normal 3 chord songs. I believe he left this whole CD/DVD live for a reason. All in all this CD is is not 5 stars but it is 4 stars and for 60 years old this guy rocks.He gives everything live. PS. Meats fans there are tracks that have never been on a live CD before.
This CD is taken from the DVD material. If you want to take the DVD's audio on the road, this your CD. But as for performances that stand on their own, nah... The sad truth is the planets aligned long enough to give us some amazing performances that hold up well over time. And that both a blessing and a curse. That we have the performances at all is the blessing. But trying to match them in later performances is the curse. The Paradise on this CD, for example, is musically sound but the "stop right now!!!" entry is late and lacks the urgency of the original performance. The "let me sleep on it" drags on and on. It just doesn't have the snap and tension the song demands. And so it goes for much of the CD. The one real surprise is Black Betty, which really rocks. For Meatloaf completeists, you'll buy the CD, but for people looking for new magic, it's just not here.
I've always been a huge Meat Loaf fan. His first 3 Bat Out of Hell CDs were awesome. Unfortunately, as he's either gotten older, or thinner, his voice is not near what it used to be. It's obvious from the very first track. He continually sings off-key and it's really obvious in Dashboard Lights. Do yourself a favor, listen to Meat Loaf as he used to be, because much to my dismay, his voice just doesn't have it anymore. This is a very disappointing CD.
Le mieux, c'est d'acheter le DVD. Mais comme il ne passe pas dans le mange disque de la voiture, ce CD permet d'avoir un bon résumé du concert. Les plus : - c'est un bon moyen de (re)découvrir cet interprête méconnu en france. 3 Bats est un résumé des 3 albums phare de Meat Loaf, et l'avoir en live permet de voir les chansons à la mode 2008. En effet, avec Meat Loaf, les chansons sont en perpétuelle évolution et n'ont pour certaines plus grand chose de commun avec les albums studio. - Le Duo avec Marion Raven, sur une chanson déjà interprété par Céline Dion... Sauf que là on a une paire de rockers. - "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" et "I Would Do Anything For Love" : versions inédites Le moins : - Difficile de résumer un concert de 150 minutes en 1 cd...
My favorite tour to promote my favorite album ... so what to say ... This album has very good audio quality .... The only problem is that it is a shortened version of a particular concert in London (Canada) on 18 March 2007 ... Therefore, 4 stars and not five ... But Marion Raven and Paradise by the Dashboard Light with Aspen Miller is there and that's OK ...
