Kiss Alive! 1975–2000
''Kiss Alive! 1975–2000'' is a collection of live recordings from American hard rock band Kiss, released by Universal Music on November 21, 2006. This box set marks the debut appearance of Kiss' Millennium Concert performance, recorded on December 31, 1999 at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, Canada. This was originally slated to be released in 2000 as ''Alive IV''. However, after Kiss' parent label, Mercury, was swallowed by the Universal/Vivendi merger, this version of ''Alive IV'' was shelved. Universal later agreed to Kiss using the Mercury label for the release, but this project was also shelved indefinitely. Instead, the band released the '' Kiss Symphony: Alive IV'' album on Kiss Records/Sanctuary Records in 2003. The 72-page booklet that comes with this set mistakenly credits songwriting for "Cold Gin" to Paul Stanley instead of Ace Frehley. ''Kiss Alive! 1975–2000'' won the 2007 Classic Rock Roll of Honours Award for Best Reissue.http://www.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/ ...

Alive III
''Alive III'' is a live album released by the American hard rock band Kiss in 1993. It is the third installment of the ''Alive'' series. The recording of ''Alive III'' took place over multiple dates (in Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis) during the band's 1992 tour in support of ''Revenge''. It was certified gold in 1994. Background ''Alive III'' was the first live album the band had released since 1977's ''Alive II'', and the first live recordings released since 1984's ''Animalize Live Uncensored'' concert film.

The album is the first Kiss live album released during the group's non-makeup era, followed by ''Kiss Unplugged'' in 1996. During the recording of ''Alive II'', Ki ...
