ALIVE II
Haven't we been down this road before? KISS releases a second LIVE album and it seems more mixed than 'live' like the first ALIVE Album (which ironically was also mixed quite heavily in the studio)
Considering that the songs presented here are not present on ALIVE I you can't call this a 'rehash' and it does sound GREAT including live versions of Ace doing the Stones' 2000 MAN and Gene doing an awesome version of Ladies Room.
ALIVE II really is what LIVE albums should be about...it is not a mere recreating of the studio on stage, but it has an ENERGY That is captured and translated through the album to the listener providing and incredible simulation of the KISS experience.
Kiss had "it" during their glory days (backstage problems notwithstanding) and this is yet another classic output from the team. But the glory days were starting to fade....
