 Another Great Set (With Some Disappointing Edits) 4 1/2 Stars Dec 15, 2007
By Erik Rupp
KISSOLOGY 2 was a good follow up to one of the greatest Music DVD releases ever. It was, however, flawed by edited and shortened concerts. Some unavoidable due to source material being incomplete (like the Rio '83 concert), but mostly due to editorial decisions. It wasn't a popular move, but the set was still very good and what was on there was great.
Now with KISSOLOGY 3 they have again included an incomplete concert or two due to editorial decisions. This is unfortunate, because some of the songs missing are some of the highlights of those particular shows!
The Detroit 1992 show from the Revenge Tour SHOULD have been included in its entirety. Many fans feel that the Revenge era was the high point of the bands' career, and that tour featured some fantastic performances of both classic and more recent material. MIA from that show, inexplicably, are "Hotter Than Hell," "Firehouse," "I Want You," "Strutter," "Forever," and "Shout it out Loud." Even more perplexing is the fact that the bonus disc of the Sao Paulo show from 1994 is (possibly) complete! While that IS a great development (the first bonus disc with just about a complete concert - this one is only missing, if anything, the final encore of "Rock and Roll All Night," and according to sources they may not have even played it at that show), it is also disappointing since they didn't give that treatment to the Detroit '92 show on the main DVD set. (Unfortunately, the version with the Sao Paulo bonus disc will not be available through Amazon...)
Also missing are a handful of songs from the Tiger Stadium show from '96, as well as some great TV appearances that should have been locks to be included (Arsenio Hall 1993 and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 1993 being the two big omissions).
However, on the other end of the spectrum, we're FINALLY going to get an official DVD release of (just about) the complete Unplugged set - including the goofing around. So for this show we're actually getting and EXPANDED version. This was a great show, as the band shows just how solid their songs are, still sounding great in a stripped down setting. Eric Singer gives one of the best, most nuanced performances of his career, and Bruce is as solid as a rock playing electric songs on an acoustic guitar - not always an easy thing to do.
The Dodger Stadium show from 1998 (the kickoff to the Psycho Circus tour) was a great show (I was there), and will be included here in its entirety with a new audio and video edit (they went back to the raw feeds and re-edited the video and remixed the audio). This is something long overdue for release on DVD. This was a show teased on TV, but never officially shown in its complete form.
With the majority of the Detroit '92 and Detroit '96 shows included, the expanded Unplugged performance included, and the complete Dodger Stadium '98, and a heavily edited concert from the 2000 "Farewell" tour this set has a TON of great stuff included.
But, wait - there's more! If you buy it early enough (first pressing) you will be able to get another bonus disc. One WAY out of chronological order, but perhaps the prized jewel of the entire series. It's the COMPLETE Coventry show from December 1973 that they teased on the first KISSOLOGY set (with the "easter egg" of "Deuce" from that show). The earliest known KISS live footage. It's a one camera from the back of the room recording, but it's still a great bit of KISStory.
Overall, KISSOLOGY 3 looks like another very good entry in the series - one only marred by missing songs and a couple missing TV performances.
Update - The Tiger Stadium show is pretty rough (both the band's performance AND the photography). The video was used for the giant screens at the show, so it is filled with close-ups and doesn't get much of the band's interaction, and it doesn't show much of the stage set up or effects at all. The Detroit '92 show is fantastic, as is the Brooklyn Bridge set. The Dodger Stadium gig is also a winner. While a mixed bag, KISSOLOGY 3 is definitely a "Must Have," for any KISS fan.

 Once again, could have been a lot better Dec 14, 2007
By Sheri
"of thte Night Time World"
I just picked up my copy of Kissology 3 at our local Walmart, FOUR days before the official release date!!! I don't know how or why they put it out early, but I am glad they did!!! Since I bought it at Walmart, I recieved the MSG '96 bonus DVD. The quality is excellent!(video and audio)
The setlist is:
Deuce
Calling Dr. Love
Cold Gin
Let Me Go Rock and Roll
Watchin' You
Firehouse
Shock Me
Strutter
Rock Bottom
God of Thunder
Love Gun
100,000 Years
Black Diamond
Detroit Rock City
Rock and Roll All Night
While each memeber has his fair share of mistakes, the show, itself, it tight and up to par. Peter seems to have an especially hard time in the beginning of Watchin' You. Paul even has to go to him and help him find the right beat/tempo. It's a little sparse on pyro, but nothing that ruins the experience.
I haven't watched any of the other discs yet. I wanted to get this info. up as soon as possible to help with choosing which bonus disc you're thinking of getting. I'm still going to buy the Best Buy set for the Brazil bonus disc, but I'm glad I picked this version up as well. I know there are a few songs missing from the setlist, most notably Beth, but that's to be expected with any KISS concert released on these sets. Can't wait to check out the rest of the package!!!

KISS IS TIMELESS UNIQUE MUSICAL LEGEND May 02, 2008
By Ray E
THE ROCKED MUSIC WORLD WILL NEVER FORGET KISS. THIS COMPILATION DVD'S ARE GREAT DOCUMENTARIES OF KISS LIVE SHOWS. BUT SOME OF THE FOOTAGE HAS POOR-AUDIO BALANCE. WELL, AS FAR AS I RATE IT, THE MTV-UNPLUGGED SHOW WAS THE GREATEST!

KISS Army... Must Have! Sep 12, 2011
By PM
"That'sMr.2U"
Being a KISS fan since 1975, and as well KISS Army member... This is a must have! Not only hear their great music, also you'll see many unseen vintage videos. If y'all know nothing about KISS, or a collector like me... This will give you a glance of KISStory from the Rock & Roll legends at their best!

3rd time lucky Oct 04, 2009
By MRT
"MRT"
this is live kiss footage. different concerts from different periods. all footage is this set is great. the only problem with it is it should have been released with all concerts complete and all bonus disks included. i will not take off of the rating of the material included because of footage not included.
