Kiss - Kissology Vol. 3 1992-2000 (2007) [5 DVD9 NTSC]

Disc 1:
The first disc starts off with a rock solid live performance from Detroit, where the band has always had a rabid following. The Revenge line up that we see here is very strong. /Users/giampieroborgonovo/Desktop/Kiss - Kissology Vol 3 (2007) [DVD9 NTSC] {DVD 1 of 5}/KISSOLOGY_VOL3_DISC1.ISOThey play with energy and professionalism and not one member misses a beat. While they do a fair share of vintage songs, the real reason to watch this show is to check out some of the cuts from the album they were promoting with this tour, as once the reunion starts we don't really see any of it and Revenge was indeed a solid record from start to finish. This show was recorded for the Alive III CD release as well.

From there we move on to some interesting MTV Unplugged: Behind The Scenes 1995 footage. Once we're through with this, we move on to the legendary performance itself, presented for the first time in its complete form with all songs intact. This performance is not only well done but it also marks the first time that Gene and Paul would play with Ace and Peter in well over fifteen years, making it fairly important in the history of the band.

Rounding out the second disc is the first part of a Psycho Circus tour show from Los Angeles. It's rather annoying to see the concert split into two parts over two discs but such is life!

With Kiss back on top, it wasn't surprising to see a theatrical film attempt to cash in on the band's success and the nostalgia factor that the reunion tours were bringing to the forefront. Detroit Rock City was released to theaters in 1999 and to celebrate, the band played a short set at the film's premiere.

A few years after the reunion tours had starting selling out auditoriums around the world, the inner turmoil that had split the original line up in the first place once again began to rear its ugly head. As such, the band decided to embark on a 'farewell tour' and presented here in its entirety is the last show from that tour. Again, it focuses on the seventies material (with only one track from Psycho Circus performed, but really, that's what the fans wanted anyway. The energy that made the earlier reunion footage on this disc so great isn't as strong here and its obvious that the band is starting to tire but having said that, this is still a solid performance and a fitting way to end this chapter of the Kissology series. This was originally broadcast as a pay per view event.

The Last Kiss - Continental Airlines Arena, East Rutherford, NJ, 6/27/00:
1. Detroit Rock City

12. Black Diamond
13. Beth
14. Rock And Roll All Nite

Disc 4:
Disc four only has a forty-three minute run time, making it by far the shortest disc in the set, but it's also probably the most historically significant disc in the entire line of Kissology DVDs. Why is that? Because it contains the legendary 1973 Coventry show in its entirety, completely re-mastered (it still looks rough but this is old footage!).

Coventry, Queens NY, 12/22/73:
1. Deuce
2. Cold Gin
3. Nothin' To Lose

8. Black Diamond
9. Let Me Go, Rock N Roll

Bonus Disk:
Madison Square Garden, NYC 1996 (Reunion Tour): My absolute favorite out of this whole volume. Great performances, and the band sounds tight. This should have been included on the main set instead of TS. Overall: 100/10
