This concert is stupendously staged, with a great supporting band who give it their all. It's dramatic, well lit, well filmed, and Aspen Miller does a superb turn singing in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" as the kind girl all the boys really would be after at school - and I'd be surprised if we don't see more from her in the future. It's the kind of concert that Meatloaf would have loved to be a part of were he still alive.
I saw Meatloaf in concert a couple of years ago, and it took him three songs to warm into anything like what he used to sound like. Regrettably, his re-animated corpse murders "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", followed by "On a Hot Summer Night", before going on to some of the less well known songs - and ... Read More:

I am so disappointed by this dvd. I've seen Meat Loaf perform live over a dozen times & his voice just seems to go downhill every time.
I guess he's getting on a bit now, but I now wish he would retire gracefully, as this performance is painful to watch.
He struggles through virtually every song & his timing is way off. His fantastic backing band & backing vocalists try to mask his shortcomings, but it seems to just magnify his own woeful vocals!
The first time we played this DVD at home, we actually couldn't stand to listen to any more after the first half hour. Meat's contant straining & re-interpretation of the vocal harmonies & melodies are nowhere near as good as the original versions ... Read More:

I saw part of Three Bats Live on Freeview TV and it was enough to make me rush to buy the DVD - the main reason being I wanted to see more of Meatloaf's new female lead singer Aspen Miller! I think she gave a fantastic performance - perfect timing; quality, powerful vocals and great acting. (She's totally sexy as a bonus too!). Some earlier reviewers mentioned they missed Patti Russo. These were surely written because they were said by (understandable) fans of Patti rather than because there was anything wrong with Aspen's performance.
I'm glad I bought the DVD because the rest of the band aren't bad either!
Infact, the band are flawless and play together seamlessly with tremendous sound quality and good dynamics.

this review, like the product, has to come in two parts;
firstly to tackle the 2nd disc, which features "in search of paradise" a documentary filmed at the start of meat loaf's "3 bats" world tour. its very interesting to see the tour preperations, and is a genuinely well made documentary, to which i would give 4/5. the reason it doesn't get a 5 is two-fold, firstly that it doesn't even refer to the fact that meat loaf cancelled the entire tour after the newcastle show in england (which they could easily have added in at the end) due to vocal cysts, and secondly meat loaf himself doesn't really say a lot of interest.
as for the concert itself...fantastic effects, great band, good backing singers, well-filmed...but meat loaf ... Read More:

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....
