Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 88 Average rating: 3.5 "The best Kiss concert DVD you will find" First of all lets start this review with a great big ACE WHO?? Tommy Thayer more than holds his own in this DVD in replacing Ace.He played every song note for note and even seemed to be having a good time doing it.Ace once said that Kiss had a musical vasectomy when he left the band but in reality the only thing that got cut was his musical career.Thank god for the reunion tour right Ace! If you want a DVD that captures the true atmosphere that is a Kiss concert by all means buy this.It has it all from the shots of the band members in their Alive concert outfits,the great crowd responses,the pyro and the scene where the entire symphony orchestra is rocking out to Rock and roll All Nite.The 5.1 surround sound is awesome too.All you have to do is pop this baby in and crank it up and sit back and be entertained by the greatest rock band to ever set foot on any stage anywhere.Thats right boys and girls...i'm talking about KISS.....and yes...without Ace "rehab" Frehley. "We miss the Ace" This review will be short and to the point. No Ace. No balls. No Ace. No punch. No Ace. No Grace. No Ace. No KISS. "dvdecent" this is a good dvd if youre a kiss fan - couldve just been 1 dvd and saved us 10 bucks-but thats not how gene simmons does business. my problem is how kiss has gone pg 13 on us...id like to see them release kiss confidential on dvd-their live show from the revenge tour...at least when they cut to the crowd and showed hot babes pulling up their shirts they didnt cut away and make us miss the action- dvds are all about pausing and zoomin in on these moments but none on this dvd - "Same Old Same Old" As so many others have already mentioned, what's with the choppy editing? How about focusing on the band for more than 2 seconds at a time? The best thing about this concert is that there are actually some different songs on it, like GREAT EXPECTATIONS and SURE KNOW SOMETHING, but otherwise its the same songs everyone has heard a million times. Kiss's problem is what made them so great in the first place: their stage show. We've seen it and we want something more. They need to revamp their set list and think of some new ways to wow the audience. There should have been more Tommy and Peter as well. I'm sure being at the show was a lot more exciting. "Even perfect has its...." THE GOOD It's a 10. If you like Kiss it is impossible not to like this. The performance its incredible and tight and the so called magic its definetly there.The audience is a part of the show what makes it even better. THE BAD The editing. As everyone has been mentioning it over and over again. With all the beautifull girls in the audience you never have more than a second to take a look at them throwing some serious sexual rock and roll energy to the cameras. The editing killed that. It had it all and killed it. If the DVD is released again with different editing , I'am definetly buying it.... and I guess I am not alone.
