The review

An absolutely perfect recording of an adequate performance, featured on 2 Picture CD's.

The recording is great and has to be partly attributed to the acoustics at the Sound Advice Amphitheater. The band is still going strong but listening to Paul Stanley's banter makes me wish they would just stop. I know there are millions that beg to differ but the approach is overblown. It would serve the band better if they reeled it in a little bit. At least stop with the top of the lungs screeching in between every song, please.

Which ever label released this show did a nice job in packaging and mastering, not to mention sourcing what I would call a flawless tape. A good one for collectors, no question about it.
