Owners of Kiss Alive! 1975-2000 can shake their fists in anger as the release of Alive: The Millennium Concert liberates that box set's exclusive bonus disc so even the casual can snatch it up. It's called The Millennium Concert as it was recorded in Vancouver, Canada on New Year's Eve 1999, a show where the reunited makeup band played some non-makeup era material ("Heaven's on Fire," "Lick It Up," and so on), plus the big, early hits ("Shout It Out Loud," "Beth," and many more). Interesting and fantastic that two previously exclusive tracks are here ("2000 Man" and "God of Thunder"). ~ David Jeffries
