Hey all,
Thought I'd share some more too with you all ...
A couple appear to be reissues or should I say, official US releases of what Europe has already had some years back on DVD.
i.e. Thin Lizzy's Are You Ready? Is the old Rockpalast gig with Snowy White from '81. About 2 hrs or so long ...
The Meatloaf one is the same too ... Previously released in Europe through the Rockpalast series.
Here you go!
Cheers,
Al

Release date: October 27

Guest interviews and never-been-seen material are also included. Set to air on IFC October 18, this documentary will be released on 3DVD and double Blu-ray.
Status Quo/Live at Montreux 2009/DVD
American Status Quo fans won’t have to wait long after the release of In Search Of The Fourth Chord (release date September 15 via Eagle Rock) for more great material.
Gracing the famed Montreux stage earlier this year, they entertained the crowd with a wealth of their classic hits. Live at Montreux 2009 is the perfect addition for both Quo fans, and collectors of the Montreux DVD series.
Release date: November 10
Meat Loaf/Bat Out Of Hell – The Original Tour/DVD
There is no presence in Rock ‘N’ Roll like Meat Loaf. His larger-than-life songs are epic epitaphs that audiences have been singing along to for over thirty years. Touring to support his iconic Bat Of Out Hell album, which sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, the raw excitement and power of this stage show cannot be denied.
Filmed in June 1978 for the German Rockpalast television series, Bat Out of Hell – The Original Tour is an essential illustration of showmanship that deserves placement in any collector’s library.
Thin Lizzy/Are You Ready?/DVD
One of Ireland’s most triumphant rock bands, Thin Lizzy took heavy guitar licks and barroom sing-a-longs and paved a new path for 70s hard rock. In 1981, they took German television’s Rockpalast by storm, and pummeled through such classics as “Jailbreak,” “Don’t Believe A Word,” and, of course, “The Boys Are Back In Town.”
This DVD features the latter-day line-up of guitarists Scott Gorham and Snowy White, drummer Brian Downey, keyboardist Darren Wharton, and of course, the late great Phil Lynott at the helm.
An immense performance by a premiere live band, the title of the DVD says it all –Are You Ready for what Lizzy’s bringing to the stage?
Release date: November 17
Santana/Blues At Montreux/Blu-ray
Carlos Santana has always been a welcome favorite at the Montreux Jazz Festival, but on July 12, 2004, he hosted a performance like no other. Taking the reigns as musical director, he was joined by some of the finest blues guitarists: Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Bobby Parker, and Buddy Guy. Originally released on standard DVD (Eagle) in 2006, this amazing concert is now available for those who enjoy their concerts in hi-def.
Billy Idol/In Super Overdrive Live/DVD and Blu-ray
One of the most recognizable rockers of the 80s, Billy Idol unleashed his punchy punk-rock hits when he performed a series of concerts in 2008. In this show, with his trademark sneer intact, Idol kept the crowd rocking all night long.
In Super Overdrive, to be released on DVD and Blu-ray, features favorites like “Dancing With Myself,” and “White Wedding.”
