MEAT LOAF- THE GUILTY PLEASURE TOUR:
New DVD, due on October 23, Captures The Ultimate Meatloaf Concert Experience At Sold Out Australian Arena Show
Concert-One TV, the innovative UK-based production company has announced it will release Meat Loaf - The Guilty Pleasure Tour DVD, which was captured during the singer's recent sold-out Australian Tour. Featuring a blend of classic Meat Loaf hits and material from his last few albums, The Guilty Pleasure Tour DVD will give fans the definitive bird's eye view of the legendary singer during one of his most memorable performances. Released worldwide on October 23, the DVD will include a bonus documentary on Meat Loaf in Australia which includes a brand new in depth interview with the man himself. "What was captured on tape at this sell out concert was the 'true live' Meat Loaf experience," says Concert-One President, Steve Timmins. "He really does put 110% into his shows and this one captures his HUGE performance, backed by his brilliant band, The Neverland Express."
The Guilty Pleasure Tour DVD presents the most technologically advanced filming of a Meat Loaf concert ever captured. Utilizing 15 Hi-Def cameras, including 2 cranes and a dolly to capture the movement and energy, as well as stationary and remote cameras placed around the venue and onstage, the viewer will experience the performance almost as if they were on the stage themselves. "The viewer gets to see what he or she would normally never see from being in the audience," says Meat Loaf, who took a proactive involvement during the planning, filming and post-production of the video. "(They see) the hands, the fingers, the facial expressions, the intensities; those kinds of things. That is what we were going for, to make the DVD different than the live show. The viewer gets to live in a different world."
The show was shot at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia, during a completely sold-out 10,000 seat arena on the singer's 2012 tour. DVD producer, Lyn Beardsall says: "The venue was great for filming. It had good access for us, and it was sold out, so we were guaranteed an enthusiastic Australian crowd. Meat Loaf was involved in every aspect of the video including the edit and 5.1 surround sound mixing. He also insisted we use a director he had worked with in the past, Paul (PR) Jones."
Adds Beardsall: "Paul had worked with Meat Loaf on a number of occasions and knew exactly what he was looking for. He wanted a lot of movement as the show is high energy and he wanted to capture that energy. No matter what you're doing- whether you are onstage or doing a scene in a TV show or movie or singing a song, there is different techniques- but it all comes down to one thing- finding the truth in the moment."
Born Marvin Lee Aday in Texas, Meat Loaf exploded on international music scene in 1977, with the release of his icon debut thematic album, Bat Out Of Hell, written by friend and colleague, Jim Steinman. Among the albums to define the arena rock genre, it has sold to date over 43 million copies, making it the fifth highest selling album of all time. He went on to have several more gold and platinum successes with Dead Ringer (1981), Bad Attitude (1984) and the Bat Out Of Hell sequels Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell (1993) and Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose (2006).
In 2010, he released Hang Cool Teddy Bear, followed by this year's Hell In A Hand Basket. He has also starred in several dozen Hollywood films, including the legendary Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Fight Club, where he acted opposite Brad Pitt.
Meat Loaf has released several popular DVD titles prior to The Guilty Pleasure Tour. They include: Bat Out Of Hell - The Original Tour; Bat 3 Live; and Live With The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Says Concert One's Steve Timmins: "On The Guilty Pleasure Tour DVD Meat Loaf gives his fans exactly what they are wanting to see. He knows what he wants and has had a lot of experience in front of a camera so knows exactly what works."
Adds Meat Loaf: "I only know one way. And that is: you either walk out on stage and give 110%, or you don't. Those people that bought those tickets are more important than I am. They are the most important people in the world. They bought that ticket. What matters is what is going on in that audience and making sure they are getting what they paid for."
