Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

and that probably answers the original question, don't bother listening to the CDs , to experience the full majesty of KISS see them live

I'm forgetting the lumpen plod already, feel the roar of the crowd and smell the greasepaint, that picture makes me feel way better about Kiss than any of the songs do

I would imagine that Kiss are one of the few bands who if you offered a fan the chance to see them in a small club or a huge stadium, the stadium offer would be the one they went for, off hand I can't think of any other band that would benefit from being further away.
