I'm giving this DVD 4 stars on account that it contains a fantastic performance of the song "Flaming Youth" which was only in their set for a brief period before it disappeared. Seeing this song, an amaglam of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper meets The Who, meets Deep Purple, I mean it's the blueprint for Def Leppard, makes you feel like you are seeing the greatest American hard rock band of all time. Defying the New York art crowd, Kiss put real muscle behind their image, as evidenced by this show. The black and white footage gives a surreal feeling like you're watching Kiss in a parallel universe, a feeling also enhanced by the way they perform some of the songs. The one hadicap of this thing is the terrible instrumental interludes done by the fan that put this DVD together. Even obliging with an entire video montage as his dedication to Kiss set to his own 4th rate "Kiss music", I mean why gussy up a Kiss concert with your own sucky warbling?

Had Sweet Pain been on here I would have given it Six Stars. The Anaheim Stadium show has a larger, better crowd and tons more energy but this has Flaming Youth. It's a lost, classic concert in Kisstory. If you were there you were lucky since they hardly ever performed Flaming Youth live.
