Kiss Live in Las Vegas, March 28, 2002
This review is from: Kiss - Live in Las Vegas (DVD)
Word of warning this DVD only has 4 songs on it, you can watch those 4 song different ways like that is some special bonus. This is not a full concert. The one bonus is on a tribute band, has to be the worse shot stuff I've ever seen.

A "KISS" Off..., April 13, 2002
This review is from: Kiss - Live in Las Vegas (DVD)
I'm only a small step away from saying this was a waste of money. For starters, the Las Vegas concert seemed incredibly short (only 4 songs; there had to be more than that!), and much of the time, the audio track didn't match the video; not that it was sequenced badly, but with the exception of the band introduction and the banter with the audience in between songs, which were obviously live, it's like the music was culled from a totally different concert, or was touched up after the fact. Examples: watch closely and you'll see things in spots like Paul Stanley visibly singing into his mike and no vocals are heard; cymbal crashes on the drum track and Peter Criss is not even hitting the cymbals; explosion sounds happen nearly 3 seconds after the pyrotechnics were set off, etc.
On the upside, the video quality is great, with a "multicam" presentation available, showing the concert in 4 different camera angles; and the 5.1 surround sound is good (but again, is the music actually from the Vegas show? I have my doubts). There are an abundance of bonus materials here (which is why I gave this 3 stars; otherwise it would've gotten only 2), some interviews that were from the "Revenge"-era with Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer. The high point of the bonus materials is the concert footage of KISS-tribute band "Larger Than Life", who did a great job visually and musically; however, their excellent performance suffered greatly from the amateurish camera work and the murky, distorted sound.
Hardcore KISS fans will probably enjoy this, but more so for the bonus materials rather than the actual concert. If you're expecting a full-length show, you're in for a big letdown, because it ain't happening.
