Age shall not weary them....Despite the guys going into their 4th decade, they still pull off a mega spectacle. The video of the concert is shot with a "LIve" theme and by the end of it I felt that I was actually at the show. The song list covers most of the classics with a good mix of both old and new, and the set with the orchestra sounds absolutely awesome! It certainly gives you a twist on songs you've probably heard a hundred times before but only they come out sounding better (if that's possible!). Seeing the entire orchestra is KISS makeup rockin' to the classics is something else.
The backstage footage with KISS and the MSO is great. It was good to see how things came together from the early beginnings of this idea right through to the final gig with commentary from each of the band members providing a fantastic insight into the behind-the-scenes build up to a KISS show.
These DVDs are great visually and the sound is all there. If anything though, I thought that there were too many cut-aways to the crowd and the camera did not stay on the band members for long enough at a time for my liking. More shots of the whole band playing would've given a greater experience of the KISS stage show. But these are only minor personal preferences. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed the DVDs and I thought that they were excellent value for money having picked this set up for just under $10!
If you haven't got a live KISS DVD, or even if you have, I strongly recommend adding this to your collection.
