Simmons is, pun intended, a monster on both tasty bass fills and meaty vocals. Another contender for best live version available since Alive! Previously that honour went to the Alive III version. The vintage Kiss vibe is captured as they thump through this in a completely different way than they did four years earlier on Alive III with Bruce Kulick. But if you want heavy, look no further than the thunderous “Watchin’ You”. Again, perhaps the best live version since the original Alive! “Shout It Out Loud” is a bit more polished. There’s nothing like this song with Ace and Peter on drums. The original Kiss tear into “Let Me Go, Rock ‘N Roll” and Gene’s voice is a bit rough at first…as it should be, 100% live. Perhaps the best live version of “Cold Gin” available since the original Alive! The Space Ace gets to sing a verse on his own, which is a perfect touch. Gotta admit this is a great album for Paul’s stage raps! It’s Ace’s turn to shine, in that overdriven, on-the-edge style that nobody can copy. The Starchild seems to have a blast singing the word “Donington” over and over again just before “Cold Gin”. Love” has that patented Peter Criss pitter-patter on the drums that we can all admit we miss. That overloud bass makes it a bit heavier. I could usually skip it, but this version is pretty good. Then an F-bomb from Paul: “WOOO! How you doin’ Donington! You all ready to get a little fuckin’ nuts tonight? You want a little rock and roll?” Then it’s “Do You Love Me”, not usually one of those songs you go fuckin’ nuts on, due to its deliberate tempo. After hearing Eric Singer on the past two instalments of this series, the Catman’s looser feel is refreshing. The simplicity of the drumwork on “King of the Night Time World” reminds us that the Catman Peter Criss is back on drums. Demon fans might love it! Frehley’s guitar brings that almost-out-of-control quality that we miss today. The immediately noticeable flaw in the mix is an overly prominent bass.

Opening with “Deuce”, the reunited Kiss don’t sound vintage, but they do sound professional and hot. This gig is only 11 days after t he Toronto show at which I saw Kiss, and the setlist is simply a shortened version of what we saw earlier. This was a big one: Monsters of Rock in 1996.
