54. KISS / Alive III. 1993. 3.5/5

From a fans point of view, it is great that Kiss decided to do a live album from the era when Kulick and Singer were in the band, as they contributed so much to the band that is sometimes not recognised.

As for the album, well it contains great songs and some average songs. The concentration of songs from the 'unmasked' era is good, but could perhaps have been better explored. Creatures Of The Night, Unholy, I Was Made For Loving You and Lick It Up are great live.
But seriously - God Gave Rock And Roll To You II? Ordinary song that was humungeously overplayed on Australian radio at the time. Maybe that's why I don't like it...

Still, this is a better effort than Alive II, and a good representation of the band in that era.

Rating : Good to hear Kiss live again. 3.5/5
