If the previews I have seen are any indication of how the rest turn out, this will be the greatest KISS DVD yet... because... it is MINT... I mean... KISS songs never sounded so good... even to the point that these are better than the studio versions in many cases. That is how it felt when I was at this show in person... and I am glad to see the audio came through living up to the reality of that night. That band... kicked total azz!!! Paul, complimented by impeccable talent at every position, was amazing! I am 100% positive that this DVD will be worth every cent and then some... I don't think I have been looking forward to any release more than this one in the past 10 years... Since the show was nearly 2 years ago... I have literally been searching for release date info on this thing EVERY month since then. I also "look forward" to seeing how stupid or not I look in the crowd. I was about 3rd or 4th row of people back, dead center. In fact, I would have been closer except at the last minute they brought women up to take up the front area... which kinda sucked, and yet, I understood it (it is for all of our own benefit when watching the DVD). The fact that I will likely show up in some crowd shots makes this DVD interesting to me even if it wasnt good... but, really... it is the set list and their execution of it that was amazing that night and the DVD looks to take it to the next level with outstanding mixing of the audio and cutting of the video.
This was one of those shows where you were emotionally sad when it ended... sad because it ended... and sad because of all the people you know that you WISH could have seen it with you. It was truly magical... and every bit as good as the best actual KISS concerts you have ever seen. Instead of the big stage and pyro... strip that away and add musical precision that was breathtaking... (and considerably greater than KISS has ever accomplished live as a band... just speaking the truth). Of all the KISS members in history.... only Eric Singer and Paul could have truly hung with the musical abilities of this band... which, again, is not meant as a knock on KISS... more as a nod to the incredible work of the Rockstar band that backed Paul... they made it twice as exciting as if it were just a Paul solo tour without them. Paul made the perfect choice by getting them to go out with him... and if possible, I think he should do it again sometime... they were amazing together. One other note: some fans found Paul's Live to Win CD a little lackluster... but, when this band hits the stage to the title track... it is as powerful as any of the greatest KISS songs. This show was part of a very small set (out of hundreds) for me personally: one of the greatest concerts I have ever witnessed. If you are a KISS fan, you MUST own this. If you are a hard rock fan who isnt much of a KISS fan, you will be surprised by how much you love this. If you just loved the Rockstar band... you will love this. I bet even people who do not like harder rocking things would find this enjoyable. This show/DVD is a gift to everyone!
