Meatloaf was about the worst concert I photographed.
Maybe he was having a very off night, or was sick... but he just paced the stage, back and forth, singing off-key with his head down and not making eye contact with the audience.

Some sound pretty good, some meh, and some incredible. The consistent difference I've been able to discern is how different drums sound. Seem to be crisp with more of a thwack than a thwump?

For me, it's all about the mastering.
My belief is that a Redbook 44.1KHz CD can sound wonderful if correctly mastered.
I have some two-channel SACDs that are something of an improvement over the CDs, but most of the "wow" discs are multi-channel remixes. Not because I feel the need to be "in the middle of the stage" with music surrounding me, but because the use of other channels helps to give various instruments some "space" to be appreciated individually and independently.
YMMV!

"Stouffer's" would work exceedingly well as the name of his career box set. There already is a late-career retrospective Meatloaf box set. It's called "Fatter than Hell."
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Man, if that comes up again, I should have you look for some CDs for me. For a fee, of course.
I’d be happy to try to get you something if I can swing a trip to Okinawa or Japan again. No fee required. But be aware CDs are very expensive there, the cheapest I got were around 2,400 Yen or about 30 USD and ended up paying an average of 35 USD for 9 of them. I was worried about the language barrier but it proved to be no problem at all. My Strategy to overcome it was to upload videos of the groups I was looking for to my phone and I just played them for the clerk. Some she recognized some right away and others she looked up on the computer but by having the vids with the band’s name on them she had no problem helping me.

That's still better than paying the shipping. I wouldn't mind getting ahold of a copy of Zainichi Funk's album. He's that Japanese James Brown guy that I think BobKay linked to at one point. Ha ha. They seemed entertaining.
