Summary: Live in Las Vegas...yeah they are.....a live but that is it!
Review: Reviewer: Paul from dayton, oh United States
I am a huge Kiss fan and have been for many years. This was a major disapointment (wanted to check it out here before opening, but my wife did it without knowing). Well my suspicsions were correct. I wondered if it was only a few songs because it was on sale, but at the back bottom of the DVD is says it's 100 minutes...so I figure it's a whole concert. To sum this up...the 4 songs they show are great for a Kiss fan, but this is extremely dissapointing and mostly DECEIVING because I'm sure most people will think it's a full concert. Shame on u Kiss for letting this go thru as deceiving as it it. Give us a real full concert on DVD and prove us wrong that ur just in this for the money :( Ps....after the 4 songs, they show the same 4 songs again...but u see musicians playing at the same time in their own window......um...how gaaay is that.

Summary: Only for the true KISS fanatic...
Review: There are only 4 or 5 songs. These songs are repeated twice. Once with a regular camera angle and another with a very difficult to watch 4 camera composite view. Even the video was poor quality and the sound wasn't that great. The editing also wasn't so great with the extras. Being a HUGE KISS FAN I had to have it. I am glad to have it in my collection. I enjoyed some of the extras like seeing them get the star on the walk of fame and watching them goof around signing autographs. If you're not a KISS FANATIC don't bother....

Summary: IF YOUR A FAN YOU SHOULD KNOW...
Review: KISS had nothing to do with the making of this dvd. This dvd is something put together by pixelon.com not KISS.If you look on the back of the dvd it clear is listed as Pixlon.com, inc all rights reserved. When you look at a KISS product it always has KISS CATALOG LTD, then you know the band put out the item. Kiss was one of the groups that were are the bill along with other artist such as The Who. It was a event not a concert put out by KISS. So yes i would say this is unoffical cause KISS did not have nothing to do this.. they just played. Kiss does care for there fans and i am very sure they would not put out something like this. My comments on the dvd is if your a real fan you will love it and it is must for your collection. I have been collecting for long time and it is must have because of clear concert picture. Here are some pro to this dvd 1) you can watch it directors cut or multi-cam. 2)kiss receiving there star on walk of fame 3) gene and paul instore appearance at tower records 4) interview with the band. The downside of dvd 1) more tribute bands should have been feature not only one,I have seen many good ones out there! 2) The red carpet interviews with reporters could not really be heard. And yes it was only four live songs, but you must remember KISS did not put this out, so it was not as packed as the second comming dvd. overall i enjoyed!
ROCK ON'

Summary: Save Your Money!
Review: Two words..."... Sandwich". Ridiculous production issues plague every piece of footage that surrounds the actual lackluster performance. The bonus footage features camera work that will make you suffer motion sickness (Tower Records signing) and horrific, inauadable audio quality as the band sleepwalks through various other appearances. I can't believe I got sucked into this one, a complete waste of money.

Summary: I'm leaving Las Vegas...
Review: It's never been more true than with this selection... READ BEFORE YOU BUY! Like the many other reviews posted here, this is a waste of money. I was extremely dissapointed to find only 4 in concert songs as the main attraction and not a full concert. When will they come out with a FULL CONCERT on DVD? The sound quality is poor here and the song selection is not amongst my favorites from the first three albums... except Rock and Roll All Nite. I havn't even bothered yet to view any of the bonus material. Why?

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I was very disappointed. Only four songs. Very little or no crowd noise. It just did not have the feel of a real live show.

Summary: WARNING WILL ROBINSON
Review: No Place List the contents of this item that I know of:
The intro animations on the DVD are great.
There is some dwelling on a woman called "Cindy Margolis", who-ever she is.
KISS do Four Songs...
In order, SHOUT IT OUT LOUD, LOVE GUN, GOD OF THUNDER, ROCK AND ROLL AND NITE.
Thats it for the "concert"; Good Camera work, not long at all.The so called "extra Features" are
-KISS ARMY FANS
-GENE AND PAUL AT TOWER RECORDS
-INTERVIEW with the Tribute Band "LARGER THAN LIFE"
-Tribute Band "LARGER THAN LIFE" performance at the Key Club
- Farewell Tour Interview with the Band.
-Gene and Paul Rock Walk Induction
-Peter Criss Rock Walk Induction
- Ace Frehley Rock Walk Induction
- Hollwood Walk of Fame Induction
- Detroit Rock City Premiere There is some material from the release of the ALIVE III period.
Much of the time its like a Boot leg tape, with lengthy periods of inaudible sound.
Bits and Pieces are interesting.
The band LARGER THAN LIFE do more music than KISS, and the worst thing is that it is badly edited together. It is revealed that the Guy who does Gene from LARGER THAN LIFE is Gene's stand in for DETROIT ROCK CITY. Lots of gems through the dvd, but mostly contains stuff viewable elsewhere.
The Farewell Interview is almost word for word the same as the VH1 special interview.
Nice gift for me, I'm not unhappy with it as a fan, but way too much fluff.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Money!
Review: It's a great show except there's only four songs, the camera angles change every 2 seconds, there's NO blood, NO fire-breathing, NO risers, NO flying stunts. When can we have a real KISS show available on DVD? Your better off buying Farewell tour bootleg on eBay. Two thumbs down!

Summary: Embarrassing!
Review: I'm embarrassed I bought this DVD.
But in all fairness to the band, this DVD is unauthorized. From what I've read the band does not want this released, but since the company who staged this event owns the rights to the performance, they can legally sell copies. But I'm sure the band is getting paid, or I'm sure Gene would have sicked his lawyers on them. The "bonus" material is interesting but could have been edited. I'm assuming the company in question is trying to recoop some money lost on this event.
