Kiss: Alive II

[Azzin]

Greetings all,

Now I'm not a massive Kiss fan and I'm not even sure how I got into them in the first place, but Alive II is one of my favourite albums of all time!

I'm wondering if any of you know if there are any actual DVDs around of the concert that this album was a recording of as I'd really like to see the concert.

I believe it was recorded circa 1977 on their 'Love Gun' tour, but I can't seem to find any kind of video/DVD available anywhere.

If anyone has any info, I'd be really grateful.

Cheers.

[Edit] - It looks like it was recorded visually, as there are clips in the ad for the re released CD:

Don't know about the dvd, but its up there with my all time favorite live albums

You'd think so, but I can't find anything available.

Nor can I

Very UN Kiss like, you'd expect about 12 different versions to be available

I guess somebody from the KISS camp will read this , Report back to Mr Simmons he'll sack a few people and it will be released next week

They certainly were/are.

Alive II is a good album, but wasn't it erm', 'criticized' for being too heavily overdubbed?

I put it in inverted commas as Kiss were about as popular in the music press as the plague.

A quick bump from me!

Having had another nose around, there's definately footage of this gig around:



Damn I'd like to see that concert in full!

I have some pro shot stuff from 77 - is that the alive 2 tour?

I think the dvd is from Largo Maryland and its both nights they played - I'll have a look

Almost certainly, yes.
