For the past year, Kiss has been releasing what I would probably consider the gold standard of music DVD releases with the KISS-ology series. Loading up with a number of concerts and miscellanious rarities that previously were only available through tape-traders, Gene and Paul realized what the fans really want on DVD and have given it to them. The first set spanned 1974-1977 and was two discs plus a limited bonus DVD (I have the Madison Square Garden '77 bonus disc) and the second set spanned 1978-1991 with three discs plus a limited bonus DVD (I have the Largo '79 one). More artists should follow their suit because they know precisely what the fans want, and gave it to them in spades.


KISS has set a December 18, 2007 release date for the third volume of a definitive DVD collection, "Kissology – Vol. 3 1992-2000". The set will contain nearly 10 hours of KISS live on stage, including songs that didn't make it into the broadcast or CD version of the MTV "Unplugged" performance; and the much-heralded Queens, NY Coventry Show from December 1973 — the band's first-ever concert filmed in makeup in its entirety.

"Kissology - Vol. 3 1992-2000" has been super-expanded to four DVDs, featuring over 100 live performances, commentary from Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bruce Kulick and Tommy Thayer as well as a 20-page full-color booklet.

Five concerts are included:

* Detroit – 1992
* Detroit – 1996
* Los Angeles – 1998
* New Jersey – 2000
* Queens, NY - 1973

One version of the release will feature a fifth bonus disc of KISS' performance at the KROQ Weenie Roast on June 15, 1996. Tracks include: "Deuce", "Love Gun", "Calling Dr. Love", "Firehouse", "Shock Me", "100,000 Years", "Detroit Rock City", "Black Diamond" and "Rock and Roll All Nite".
