Finally!! Kiss decided to release another live album and this one is ‘Alive III’ which was 17 years after their last release. Now they did release a live video, but this is the first album since ‘Alive II’ in 1977. The band recorded the album during the Revenge Tour in 1992 and used the recordings from the Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis stops of the tour. This is also the first live album of the Non-Makeup era and the first to not have the original Kiss line-up. The line-up is of course Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, but now it is Eric Singer on Drums and still Bruce Kulick on guitar. Oh yeah, and off to the side of the stage on keyboards is Derek Sherinian who toured with the band at this time since they added keyboards to a lot of the late 80’s songs.
Now unlike ‘Alive!’ and ‘Alive II’ which stayed away from repeating a song the other release had, this one does not do that. It has a few repeats with “Deuce”, “Watchin’ You”, “Rock & Roll All Nite” and “Detroit Rock City”. I have to say with 17 tracks, to only repeat 4 is actually not that bad. The rest of the songs cover albums from ‘Dynasty’ up to their latest release ‘Revenge’ which is a very broad spectrum, however, they don’t cover any songs from ‘Unmasked’, ‘Music From the Elder’, ‘Asylum’ or even ‘Crazy Nights’.
The band brought in Eddie Kramer to produce the album as he had done both ‘Alive!’ and ‘Alive II’. Why would they not. I am sure this album is full of overdubs and really isn’t that live, but I didn’t care on the other two, I don’t really care now. It sounds live and that is all I care about anyway.
