Just OK after a long wait
I had preordered this DVD at $9.99. On release day it suddenly went "temporarily out of stock" and never came back into stock after a few months. It then showed up here on Amazon by a different vendor at a higher price. Even though the item ships via Amazon they said the price was out of their hands so I ordered at the higher price. Once it arrived I watched it. I have been a Meat Loaf fan since the original Bat Out Of Hell many moons ago. I have seen him perform live on four occassions and own most of the other DVD's put out. This one is entertaining but certainly not his best (or worst) DVD. This show comes off kind of lifeless and the new female singers and backup singers aren't as good as the previous ones.
He' not what he was but...
Even the most avid Meat Loaf fan (guilty) has to admit that his voice is a mere shadow of what it was in his prime. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this concert. The Neverland Express has got to be one of the tightest back up bands in the business. Patti Russo is still dynamite, and despite what other reviewers have said, is in the entire show. Meat Loaf is the consummate showman and clearly loves his fan. My only regret is that as yet, I still haven't gotten a chance to see him in person. After watching this video, would I pay my hard earned money to see him in person? In a heartbeat.
Not worth the investment
I love Meatloaf and love DVD concerts. But neither will get me to watch this DVD again. It is already in my donation box.
