Hot on the heels of the first two volumes in the best selling Kissology series comes the third collection of vintage Kiss television appearances and live performances, this time around covering the Revenge tour and the reunion years between 1992 and 2000 over four jam packed DVDs.

Here's a look at what's on each of the four discs in the collection:

Disc 1:

The first disc starts off with a rock solid live performance from Detroit, where the band has always had a rabid following. The Revenge line up that we see here is very strong. They play with energy and professionalism and not one member misses a beat. While they do a fair share of vintage songs, the real reason to watch this show is to check out some of the cuts from the album they were promoting with this tour, as once the reunion starts we don't really see any of it and Revenge was indeed a solid record from start to finish. This show was recorded for the Alive III CD release as well.

From there we move on to some interesting MTV Unplugged: Behind The Scenes 1995 footage. Once we're through with this, we move on to the legendary performance itself, presented for the first time in its complete form with all songs intact. This performance is not only well done but it also marks the first time that Gene and Paul would play with Ace and Peter in well over fifteen years, making it fairly important in the history of the band.

Rounding out the second disc is the first part of a Psycho Circus tour show from Los Angeles. It's rather annoying to see the concert split into two parts over two discs but such is life!

With Kiss back on top, it wasn't surprising to see a theatrical film attempt to cash in on the band's success and the nostalgia factor that the reunion tours were bringing to the forefront. Detroit Rock City was released to theaters in 1999 and to celebrate, the band played a short set at the film's premiere.

2. Shout It Out Loud
3. Cold Gin
4. Rock And Roll All Nite

A few years after the reunion tours had starting selling out auditoriums around the world, the inner turmoil that had split the original line up in the first place once again began to rear its ugly head. As such, the band decided to embark on a 'farewell tour' and presented here in its entirety is the last show from that tour. Again, it focuses on the seventies material (with only one track from Psycho Circus performed, but really, that's what the fans wanted anyway. The energy that made the earlier reunion footage on this disc so great isn't as strong here and its obvious that the band is starting to tire but having said that, this is still a solid performance and a fitting way to end this chapter of the Kissology series. This was originally broadcast as a pay per view event.

The Last Kiss - Continental Airlines Arena, East Rutherford, NJ, 6/27/00:
1. Detroit Rock City
2. Deuce
3. Shout It Out Loud
4. Firehouse
5. Heaven's On Fire
6. Let Me Go, Rock N Roll
7. Shock Me
8. Psycho Circus
9. God Of Thunder
10. 100,000 Years
11. Love Gun
12. Black Diamond
13. Beth
14. Rock And Roll All Nite

Disc 4:

Disc four only has a forty-three minute run time, making it by far the shortest disc in the set, but it's also probably the most historically significant disc in the entire line of Kissology DVDs. Why is that? Because it contains the legendary 1973 Coventry show in its entirety, completely re-mastered (it still looks rough but this is old footage!).

Coventry, Queens NY, 12/22/73:
1. Deuce
2. Cold Gin
3. Nothin' To Lose
4. Strutter
5. Firehouse
6. Let Me Know
7. 100,000 Years
8. Black Diamond
9. Let Me Go, Rock N Roll

This is the earliest known footage of Kiss ever shot, and it shows a young, hungry band who appear determined to really give the audience their all. Additionally, it features a live performance of Let Me Know, which isn't one that they bring out all that often.

Video:

Not surprisingly, everything in this set is fullframe. Picture quality differs from one clip to the next and the newer material looks better than the older stuff does for the most part but by and large, things look good here (despite the fact that none of this material has been properly flagged for progressive scan playback). There aren't any problems with mpeg compression artifacts and while some print damage shows up from time to time, it's never overpowering. Some of the older footage, the Coventry footage more than anything else, is blurry and fuzzy looking but that's unfortunately got everything to do with the source material, not the transfers. That said, because the bulk of this material is more recent than what we've seen on past volumes, you can safely expect that the quality will be better - because it is. The newer material on this set is in better shape and much of it was captured under better conditions and with better equipment so it only stands to reason that it should be noticeably improved from what we've seen prior.
