Alive! was the album that catapulted Kiss from cult attraction to mega-superstars. It was their first Top Ten album, remaining on the charts for 110 weeks and eventually going quadruple platinum. Culled from shows in Detroit, New Jersey, Iowa, and Cleveland on the Dressed to Kill tour, the record features producer Eddie Kramer doing a masterful job of capturing the band's live performance on record. The band's youthful energy is contagious, and with positively electric versions of their best early material, it's no mystery why Alive! is widely regarded as one of the greatest live hard rock recordings of all time. 'Rock and Roll All Nite' became a Top 20 smash and was the main reason for the album's success, but there are many other tracks that are just as strong -- 'Deuce,' 'Strutter,' 'Firehouse,' 'Parasite,' 'She,' '100,000 Years,' 'Black Diamond,' and 'Cold Gin' all shine in a live setting. Although there's been some speculation of extensive overdubbing to correct mistakes, Alive! remains Kiss' greatest album ever. An essential addition to any rock collection.
