STEREO SOUNDBOARD RECORDING

INFORMATION FOR OVERSEAS' COLLECTORS

This is a unique experience of the legendary KISS ALIVE! album, featuring the unmixed original recordings of the songs that ultimately appeared on the record. These are the bare-bones tracks, without overdubs, taken from the original Alive! recordings.

But that’s not all. The tracks that were left off the album have also been included in their correct positions within the setlist. As a bonus, “Ladies in Waiting” is featured as well, a song for which it is not fully confirmed whether it was performed during the Dressed to Kill tour or exclusively during the Alive! tour.

Together, this creates an incredible and unique listening experience: the true Alive! album, including all songs performed during KISS’s legendary breakthrough tour.

Room Service is unique as it was only done a few times on the tour and here you have a soundboard and fully mixed version including vocals!

Another very unique track. Recorded during the soundcheck with Gene on vocals but here with Peter’s original vocals!
3. Two Timer (Detroit)

This was one of the three songs actually recorded at Cobohall to be included on the album but dropped from the tracklisting last minute.

Tracks 5-11: are sourced directly from the original material captured for the LP. Here you can hear how it truly sounded: raw, unpolished, sometimes imperfect, but unmistakably KISS in its purest form.
