KISS are the definition of stadium rock; loud guitars, roaring crowds and sing-along anthems. A landmark record in terms of the live album, it showed what a band who are better in person than on record sounded like. So popular is the version of 'Rock N Roll All Nite' from Alive! that it has all but eclipsed the studio version from existence.  

Taking tracks from the band's first three albums, Alive! refuses to let up in it's near-80 minute run time. The band themselves sound perfect; every note played with confidence and swagger that only KISS can provide. Alive! is a party album that will transport the listener back to 1975 and stick them square in the middle of the KISS army, loud and proud.
