About the album

In 1996 the original Kiss lineup put the makeup back on for the Alive/Worldwide Tour, and this album came out to mark the occasion. It gathers live versions of the songs that made them, most taken from Alive! (1975) and Alive II (1977): 'Shout It Out Loud,' 'Calling Dr. Love,' 'Beth' and, of course, 'Rock and Roll All Nite.'

For collectors the draw is the four recordings that had never come out before: 'Room Service' from Davenport, Iowa in 1975, 'Two Timer' and 'Let Me Know' from Cobo Arena in Detroit, and 'Take Me' from Los Angeles. It wraps up with the reunited band chatting to Jay Leno, which is about as 1996 as a record can get.
