Editorial Review:
Kiss were always best known for their theatrical stage attire, explosive stage props and blood-spitting, fire-breathing antics, which is why many people continue to overlook the fact that many Kiss songs are tolerable at best. Even if the band's music is best used as loud background music for the band's visual extravaganza, the band did have a few jewels down the front of their bulging trousers. On You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best!, they let them hang down to the ground, preventing the need to buy a full Kiss album ever again. "Firehouse," "Calling Dr. Love," "I Stole Your Love," and of course "Rock and Roll All Nite" shine through, and for the deluded die-hards, there are three previously unreleased live tracks and an interview with Jay Leno sure to raise the room temperature a few degrees. --Jon Wiederhorn

kiss live 
2009-11-01 - great "LIVE" compilation for 96 reunion tour . should have added KISSIN' TIME,DO YOU LOVE ME,LADIES IN WAITING and HOOLIGAN, as there were played back in the day.
okay cd 
2008-06-21 - first off this cd is okay but its a pretty cheap complimation. all this cd is is pretty much a best of of the two alives alive one and alive two and feautres four live tracks from the "vault", and our said too be rare. uhhh not so rare when theyre on a cd for one cent. there just outtake songs not used for there first alive album and second okay theyre probaly just from tapes they found and probaly edited batched it together and threw it on this cd. oh and also theres a 18 minute interview on here thats okay with jay leno. its pretty good but besides that steer away from this cd. really for people who only want the best of there live tracks and dont wanna spend the money for the other live cds. this and greatest hits is good for any chintsy kiss fan. all in all not so good but for a cent consider me sold plus this cd was ojnly realesed just cause of there reunion which everybody thought was the second coming but wasnt really ace is outta the band since 2002 and peter criss left in 2004 now they have two musicinas dressed like them...
You want the best? Try elsewhere 
2008-01-02 - Ive never been a Kiss fan but ive had a few of there cds laying around for awhile and decided to give them a listen. I picked this one out and played it. The first four songs remind of Spinal Tap and I wondered what the hell do people see in these guys? Then I read that the cd was made with the audience pumped in and I lost a little respect for them after reading that. The songs are alright but nothing id pursue an interest in.
cool idea...just lied to
2007-07-09 - Ive been a KISS fan for over 30 yrs. The"unreleased live tracks" were obviously recorded in 1996 with a live audience track pumped in. Any KISS fan can tell the difference between the vocal range/change of Gene and Paul over the last 25 yrs.The drumming is alittle too busy...the lead guitars are alittle too slick...could this be Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer? I would bet that they are playing on these supposed "live tracks"
I will always love KISS...but who do you think that you are fooling?
not me
Great Unreleased Live Songs...
2007-06-05 - I'll give this 5 stars just because the Summer of 1996 - Fall of 1996 was so much fun going to reunion concerts and Kiss was huge again. Kiss fans like myself were just so euphoric and caught up in the hoopla of the reunion! The "unreleased" songs are great. (Even though you can tell they were re-recorded...just compare Paul and Gene's voices with Alive 1 or 2 for proof) The best of them is "New York Groove" live from Austrailia 1980 if you snagged a copy of a Japanese version of this disc. But "Room Service" rips, as does "Let Me Know" "Two Timer" and "Take Me". The interview will always be a cool timepiece. There aren't many interviews with all four orignial members.
