| Thanks for a very educational post. I will have to buy the Live Around The World album. Your "I really don't understand why Meat has released so few live CDs. There must be shitloads of awesome stuff rotting away that could be making money for him" point is very interesting. The Rolling Stones seem to release a successful live album after every tour. Also, what about the "Dead Ringer" movie that someone brought up ages ago? I think its a film of the 1981 tour (with Ted Neeley on backup vocals). It got brilliant reviews when it opened at the Toronto Film Festival and yet there is no DVD available. > Meat always seems to schedule concerts to be filmed when > he is ill, so I think it's just a case of persistent bad > luck. > > Live at Wembley is a great concert, but was poorly > produced for CD.
