| The DVD has been released here in Germany this Thursday. And having not been too optimistic after hearing excerpts on radio the week before, I fortunately can report that the DVD is absolutely great! Whereas the Melbourne DVD was a one-off thing for those 2 nights, 3 Bats Live captures exactly what people attending this recent world tour were experiencing at the time, setlist- and showwise. Besides Meats daily improvisations of course. The two exceptions are: 1. They cut down the dialogue/showpart during Paradise and 2. They added Two Out Of Three, which was not performed other than that night in London, Ontario, for the DVD. There are those special moments when Meat is even extending Jims songs. That is what I call live: art happening that moment! It happens prominently during Rock & Roll Dreams, Frying Pan and Objects. Especially Objects is simply breathtaking! Having heard that song by multiple performers over the years (as Dance Of The Vampires is still big in Europe), to me this is the over the top performance. To be fair: those musical singers don`t get the chance to give it a climax as Meat does. Another Dance excerpt is given with a short Seize The Night opening Monster, which is brilliantly performed by the band and girls. Overall Aspen Miller is prominently featured in the audio mix and that suits the songs well. Jims R&R Dreams, Objects, Bad For Good, If It Ainīt Broke and All Comming Back To Me Now are 5 out of 9 songs that have not been captured live by Meat on DVD before. Amongst those I especially also love the non-Jim bastard Blind As A Bat. 18 songs total, including 5 non-Jims (BAAB, Monster and the 3 encore-covers). Have not seen the bonus material so far, cause I care for the music. Unfortunately no mention of Jim during the show or in the package so far. The only track that sounds massively overdubbed to me is Monster. Meats voice is absolutely fine and he is enjoying to prominently play with it on stage. Not note-perfect, as it never was, but as special as it always has been. Nevertheless I know some here will crucify him whatever he releases. The others can be full of anticipation for another chapter of SteinMeatmusic! Michael Marxen | |
