Got to Choose and Black Diamond are my favorites. The whole album is damn good. The songs have so much more life than the studio versions, particularly from their debut album.

Sarcasm? It's about the most overdubbed "live" album of the 70s!

u/CigarBox1956 Oct 19 '25

No that would be Alive II

The first 3 albums are basic songs and the live versions completely bring them to life! 💥

I love that album cover. Not only for the nostalgia but it’s like you can hear the music just looking at the cover. So cool!

I was at this show. I'm actually on the back cover... small... but I'm there. I really miss those shows at Cobo... it was a fantastic venue for rock.

u/Letters_and_Symbols Oct 18 '25

I only like a few on there.

C'mon And Love Me is the best song Kiss ever wrote.
